Nissan Vs Honda People

[Valiant240sx]

Ok i have a 91 honda hatchback (ef9) and I go to Honda sites and forums alot to find information, and soon I'll be purchasing a 240sx as it is my dream car and I've been to alot of Nissan forums like this one.

The thing is on all the Honda forums it seems like all they do is put down everything everyone talks about, one guy asked about a body kit, they told him it was stupid rice and to worry about making hp, another guy comes in and asks what platform would be best for build a 500 hp ek, and they told him he was stupid. But I go to Nissan forums and it always seems like its alot more postive feed back and way more supportive, I love hanging around here so much more, when I posted that thread about those lights and that b-kit I was ready for a reaming that never came.

Not to say all honda enthusiasts are a$$holes or anything, I've met a handfull of Honda ppl that we're pretty cool, but only a handfull of the one of most owned vehicles in america.

If you haven't been flamed on Zilvia.net, you haven't been here long enough.

[krazyfil]

hahaha... this is true... well if u lived in cali i roll with a lot of honda people... it makes me feel better about my sel when i roll with them..lol.. except for this ek that smokes evo's and sti's on a nightly basis...lol

[surge s14]

you'll be flamed just wait just look at my rep points lol

[Ian]

If you act like a moron, you'll get flamed and get negative rep very fast (the green/red blocks under our post count)


So don't act like a moron. If you have a question, search for a while. Read and comprehend, then think about what you post before you post it. Don't make jokes unless they're funny.

You'll get the hang of it.

[Valiant240sx]

well ive been on other nissan sites and dont get flamed nearly as much as the honda sites, not to mean i dont expect some flaming, Ive been on nicoclub for a while, and some myspace forums, still i get alot less flack from the nissan crew

[SDS13COUPE]

Yup. But it will eventually come sooner or later. Just don't get butthurt.:bigok:

[!Zar!]

Valiant240sx: The people who put down posts suck as you described most likely are OG's who've had/seen it all. When a new member comes on stating that they want five hundred horse power, they will most likely never make it there. Same as aero. People come around asking for some sick ass body kit. Then have wheels that don't fit and the ride height is that of a monster truck.

Zilvia is the same way for the most part. And when you are flamed, it isn't so much as a put down, but people trying to show you the light.

[Brian]

People actually care about cars?
bollocks.

[Replicant_S14]

Sounds pretty much like every car forum I've ever been on. *shrug*

[ThatGuy]

Kinda like:
http://www.flagline.com/images/pirates/beatings-continue-shirt.jpg

But more like: "The Flaming will continue until your taste/intelligence improves."

[koukikat180sx]

^ LOL!

I own a honda too. :P
(as a daily)

[!Zar!]

Shhhhhhhh!


Don't let the secret out!:keke:

[Valiant240sx]

i know the thing ill get blasted the most for is the fact that i dont really care for the whole jdm scene too much, i understand everyone has different tastes, but right now it seems everyone is going that way. I do like the jdm performance parts for the fact they have more parts that actually perform, not saying we dont have nice performance parts here in the states.

[Dutchmalmiss]

^^ you won't get flamed about that. if you act stupid/offensive/noob to anyone/about anything, expect to get flamed/neg repped. but the positive with owning a honda on this forum is you just might have useful info for those here that also have honda project cars, or even their DD's that may have some problems here and there.

[ThatGuy]

Yeah, not everyone likes JDM, no big deal. Just don't ask the same question that has been answered 100 times, then get mad when you get called stupid for asking such a n00b question. Zilvia's isn't nearly as bad as some OTHER site's make us out to be.

[Silverbullet]

soon I'll be purchasing a 240sx as it is my dream car and I've been to alot of Nissan forums like this one.


A POS Nissan is your dream car?

Any cliche/owners group in ANY type of hobby is like that. Thats why i try to distant myself away from forums as a community and just use them as a resourceful reference. Of course if your in your beginners stage, you may want to stick around on the forums a little more often to absorb information quicker.

[KA24DESOneThree]

Let me start by asking this: the 240SX is your dream car? Hooray for easily attainable aspirations!

Some of us, i.e. me, don't like body kits and will flame you if you get on our bad side. If you run around with a body kit and crappy suspension along with stock wheels, you'll be on my bad side. I'm judgemental but I try not to be an overt dick unless I'm provoked either by extremely poor taste, subpar intelligence, or any post by a member of the Viceroy crew.

Search often, don't be a show/trend whore, and you'll probably make few enemies.

[rockinpandas]

you'll be flamed just wait just look at my rep points lol

doesnt look taht bad to me

[jeeper_x]

^^^ im a real burnt victim here.....lol......i think of them as the battle scars....

[FR=smiles]

Honestly just search, and if your car looks like a trashcan. Dont post pics, and if you do, try not to cry when people say it looks like garbage.

After all its only the internet, dont take it seriously.

[blownoffvalve]

of course the dets are a lot better =)

[ESone3]

use the search button ALL THE TIME!

Apparently this forum isn't about sharing information, go figure.

[ThatGuy]

Oh no, we love to share information. But it gets really annoying when people try to share the SAME INFORMATION over, and over, and over, and over. While at the same time, new people keep signing up and asking for that very information that somehow they can't seem to find.

[projectRDM]

No one has flamed you yet, so here goes:

You're on NICO and myspace car forums. In other words, you openly admit to eating penis and enjoying it.

For the love of all that is sacred, leave both of those sites and never go back. Myspace is fine for friends and hooking up with random whores, but not for cars.
NICO is good for, well, shit I don't even know.

[redsuns3838]

Thatguy pretty much said it. Id say 95% of the neg rep points dished out are on posting useless threads. such as:

1) Will these wheels fit? 18x15 -250 offset .I already bought them but have no clue how to do simple math.
2) Which exhaust/diff/intake/etc is the BEST for my severly underpowered car that will never see a track day in the 3 months I own it before I crash it?
3) stories about street racing, drifting, other illegal shit, which is the reason we have so many cops popping hoods now.
4)I havea retarded question and kent speel fur mai lyf and have no clue what a period is

I dont know...When I joined the board there was a plethora of info and opinions being shared and there were the occasional flaming here and there...but now its a lot worse. The same questions are popping up day in day out and its obvious that nobody is searching, nor following advice they recieve. Since a lot of people with neg reps are reading this, just search more and if its broken, go to google. Id rather see 1 new thread a day in chat about a new part, or buildup, or something productive, than 10 new ones asking questions that can be easily found using google or search button here on zilvia.

Just my little rant.

[Farzam]

Owning a Honda is like fighting in World War I...

[!Zar!]

I enjoy my Honda.

I've come to notice that people who hate them hate the image the car sets forth.

New news, Nissans project the same image Hondas use to.

[sideview_180sx]

this is gay close the damn thread. if you want to support zilvia purchase from those in group buys and what not. and don't worry about being flamed you will ask a question sooner or later that will net the same flambe

[kansas240]

go on the HAMb and ask about a ratrod olskool anything. THEN you'll get flamed.

[ManoNegra]

New news, Nissans project the same image Hondas use to.

No kidding. I've been feeling the same way now for a while.
Everytime I see a 240 nowadays is some kid with a crooked hat trying to look hard.

[Valiant240sx]

well the 240sx obviously hasnt always been my dream car, but after i first seen one ive wanted one, of course when first learning about cars I always want the usual that anyone else would want, Panteras, lambos, ferraris, RuFF tt porsche, the jaguar xj220 and what not, but the 240sx is so easy to get, and i like the look so much its absolutely the car i have to have.

thanks for all the tips guys hopefully i can be a good addition to the forums and at the same time learn from you guys.

[Psycho 240 Freak]

Hey I love the 240. Nothings wrong with it being your dream car. I don't post too often here either because like everyone said, just SEARCH and most of the time you'll find your answer.

[Cashizslick]

The thing is on all the Honda forums it seems like all they do is put down everything everyone talks about, one guy asked about a body kit, they told him it was stupid rice and to worry about making hp

Haha.



Do you post at Hondaswap.com? Thats a great site, and its a known fact that the longtime members are heavily involved with motorsports . . .

[FRpilot]

A POS Nissan is your dream car?



i was thinking the same thing. just you said it first. lol

[steve shadows]

a 500hp Ek is stupid :)

[baka_na_kuruma]

A POS Nissan is your dream car?
+3
Nissan 240sx is your dream car?... You have a sad life, SON:bigok: !

[Brian]

hey, I won't lie
a fucking shit pile HCR32 gts-t is my dream car.

[WERDdabuilder]

the hell is up with all these noobies making pointless threads?

[Flybert]

All good forums are the same. Newbs get flamed and made fun of to no end until they react with a violent outburst or some butthurt response. Those who weather the storm end up turning into good contributing members of the forum. It's science.

BTW, you are newb and you will get bad rep for this stupid thread. The fact that you cruise myspace car forums is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Didn't even know myspace had BS like that. Go back to nico.

[wingsnthangs]

Car make/model is irrelevant. It's about the popularity of the car, and ultimately people.

Hondas are popular.
The more popular a car is, the greater chance there is an idiot owning one. The more idiot owners there are, the more idiot owners on forums there are. If Nissans were more popular than Hondas, there would be more idiot Nissan owners.

I just think this site is better because idiots are more likely to get their threads locked, get their posts edited, or get reprimanded/banned thanks to strict moderation.

[thepest]

Its not that people are assholes about question (well some of them are lol). You just have to search before asking. Unless it is just one dumb ass question. So make sure you search before asking.

[Valiant240sx]

if all of you who made the remarks about the 240sx being a pos and being my dream car why browse the forums dedicated to the car, or even own one?

as far as the noob thread thing o well i just thought i'd tell the people that had helped me so far I appreciated their help and to thank them for not being assholes like so many others.

I'm sorry you didn't know that one of the biggest forum/personal page websites on the web would have group forums for almost everything people have a passion for.

:fawkd: :mrmeph:

Try going beyond your boundaries, maybe you will learn something.

[1121S13]

does'nt matter what *side your from, you ask a [email protected] question w/o doing your research, your going to get it.

and zilvia is'nt going to be any better... It's on you.

GL & HF.

You have to actually do battle before you can get battle scars. Running around and saying stupid shit isn't battle.

Don't make jokes unless they're funny.

what the hell kinda thread is this you butt fucking tree hugger go back to honda tech

no im kidding hi

[SochBAT]

You have to actually do battle before you can get battle scars. Running around and saying stupid shit isn't battle.
Go Dan.

I'm going to try and burn this into every noob's head. Search, search search. The answers are out there, you just gotta find em. A vast majority of common questions have already been answered of Zilvia, from offset, to boost, or suspensionwork, to aero.

Search, and you'll be alright.

[Ghettokracker71]

I've always been an asshole...way before I was a Honda/Acura guy. I used to have a '91 240, I love it and still get to drive my old car when I want ( w00t for mom rocking the 240 hatch dropped on teins) but I really REALLY love my Integra. Yes, its a stupid ass front wheel drive car, but thats what I love so I don't care how stupid it is

[Jeenyus]

1) Will these wheels fit? 18x15 -250 offset .I already bought them but have no clue how to do simple math.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAh +100

[redsuns3838]

valiant240sx. on any forums, responding to people that call you names or talk shit by posting little f-you smilies and "asshole" never really gets you anywhere. It just shows ppl that you are as much a kid as they teased u about.

The point is that fighting fire with fire gets you nowhere. You would have been better off just saying nothing at all or saying something in a mature manner...

You are a newb. Like it or not..youve got 13 posts under your belt and you just got a 240. your a newb. so your going to get shit from ppl on the board. its just hazing. if you learn the way things work around here, and act mature, dont post false info, and be humble, people will eventually give you respect and stop hazing you. But hazing is a part of life. It happens when your new in school, new in a frat, new in your work place, Its just a way for everyone to test you. so dont get so upset about it.

Oh and a 240sx is a POS when you compare it to most ppls "dream" cars. I mean cmon....this aint no lambo! You said it was your dream car and everyone thought that was funny. You really shouldnt be offended and start trying to make an arguement over it.

[Blotter]

No kidding. I've been feeling the same way now for a while.
Everytime I see a 240 nowadays is some kid with a crooked hat trying to look hard.

Man, is that all it takes? I got the 240. I am not hard though. So my understanding is Hard(240 + Crooked hat) = Mad Bitches!.

Haha I'm happy my first post on Zilvia has been this.

On a more serious note, I agree with the above, and as long as you aren't an idiot, you won't get flamed on any forum. The Honda forums have been helpful to me when I've owned my Hondas, as I hope Zilvia will be for me while I have my 240.

[DRIFT KING]

Why Would You Want A Honda If You Could Roll Big In A Nissan..

[BrokenHeart]

Why Would You Want A Honda If You Could Roll Big In A Nissan..

Because rolling in a Nissan is anymore "baller" then riding in a Honda.

Personally I love my Honda (EP) to fucking death. There will always be people of one group who hate those of another group. In my opinion, those people fall into the category of "ricers".

Fakers, haters, and biters will exist for as long as people will drive cars. But it does seem that the vast majority of them are falling out. Pick and choose the forums you hang out on.

[nismoconvert]

Ep's rock. They remind me of a peugot.

[Ameer]

Man, this feels like a palestinian vs. Israeli conversation.
