A True Enthusiast’s Dream

When I first set my eyes on this car, it took me four years to obtain it from the second original owner. He didn’t want to sell it to just anyone—he wanted the car to go to a great home. That’s exactly what I’ve given it. My name is Adam Issa, and this is my 1998 Nissan 240SX S14 Kouki, the last model year ever produced for the 240SX.

What makes it even more special is that my car is an original Southern California model, assembled by Calsonic Irvine. I’ve only ever owned 240SX models, starting from the S13, and my S14 stands out as the best one yet. I have completely reconstructed everything from the interior to the exterior, and my good friend Chris blessed me with the incredible paint job that gives the car its distinct look.

Daily Driving & Community Involvement

This is my daily driver, and over the past two years, I’ve racked up nearly 90,000 miles each year traveling between NorCal and San Diego. Whether I’m attending monthly SoCal Schassis gatherings or just cruising the coast, this car is my escape.

The car is fully equipped with authentic Nismo parts, making it nothing short of Nissan enthusiast excellence. From time to time, I enjoy hitting the drift track, but what I love most is taking this car into the mountains—where I can truly disconnect from reality and enjoy the drive.

The Evolution of My Build

Marvin has been encouraging me to get an illustration of the car done for some time now, but I keep adding more parts, so I always tell him to wait for the right moment. To me, the S14 is the best model of the 240SX generation, and I’ve taken great care to ensure this build represents my vision.

The paint color, the rare JDM body kit, and the authentic Nismo LMGT2 wheels bring everything together, creating a unique and well-balanced aesthetic.

As the car has reached its final style, my next step is to re-clear coat the paint to preserve its immaculate finish.
