S-Chassis Nostalgia (NO BANDWAGGON JUMPERS!!)

[OBEEWON]

This thread is for the true OG S-chassis people. Enjuku posted up a pic of his drag S13 and it really got me tripping down memory lane...


I would like the people that have aquired thier S-chassis BEFORE all the hype, before they had a honda and switched over, before Tokyo drift, before Formula D, D1, Red Bullcrap, even before Initial D was big in the states.


Now I don't really conscider myself a true OG, more like a Jr. OG. I wanted a 240 since I was 11 or 12, When the S14 came out it was my achievable "dream car".

Post pictures of when you first got your car, sunk wheels and all...Horrible body kits, gay wings, full of that 90's and for some of you fossils 80's styling flavor.

Please if you are brand new, PLEASE dont ruin the thread with a brand new pic. I wanna see scanned grainy photos!

TRUE, ORIGINAL S-CHASSIS LOVERS...
Have at it...

[ThatGuy]

We did something similar to this in the Premium Members Section back in January. Cool Thread.

Here's my submission, though I may not be "OG" enough. It's only 2002.

[OBEEWON]

Sweet, thats what I'm looking for. Ill post mine when I get to my old comp. You beat me by a few years anyway.

[240sxaddict]

i'd post pictures of my car from 7years ago, but I have to get the scanner hooked up haha.

[atutt]

I got into 240's in 2000... I was 13... Obviously I couldn't afford one then. When I finally could afford one, they became what they are now.

[Brian]

Anybody who was anybody in SoCal had a JSPEC.COM sticker on their car.

[Dutchmalmiss]

I can try to find pics, but in elementary and middle school (as early as 1995), my friend's brother had a red pignose s13 coupe that was slammed, had some mesh wheels, and exhaust. It was love at first sight for me.

[undercoverdjay]

Bought from the original owner as seen in pics. My only addition was the enjuku clear signals and the konig impact wheels at the time.

Has since been changed around...a LOT. RHD, S15 front, origin kit, etc etc... But heres reppin 2001 baby.

I wish i could post a picture of mine. I had a 93' coupe,red,auto with the fake convertible top! YES! fake convertible top! i was 18 when i had that car and didnt even know what i had at the time. then i picked up my second coupe from Ken at enjuku. it was a stripped out black coupe with ICW wheels! i'll have to see if i still have pictures of it!

[rps13drift]

2003/2004 status! lol. This is my car when i was a senior in high school. I got the car when i was 15 and didnt even have a license. It had 15x8 weds sport mesh wheels i bought for $75 from a 280z owner and an sr20 swap wich back then was big news!

My first 240sx I paid $600 for cause the idle wasn't right!
Sweet deal. Paid $900 for these high offset fake-o's w/tires.(what the hell is offset?
I even got lowering springs from eibach. you can see the amazing results!haha
I also got the dual tip exhaust for free from friend.
I thought I was the shit with these rims.hehe.
But hey at least I loved her.
Got this in I think 2003. Kinda read here and there about 240's. Had an Integra before that that was stolen. And before that a '94 Altima.
Jeez, I remember I thought 240's were piles of crap when I had the Altima, like "those things are not that fast,why would anybdy buy one?"hahaha
Now I love the S-chassis.
It was also when Daijiro Yoshihara's "jdm s13 silvia" was featured in a magazine and blew my mind!
Then I moved to California, so on and so forth.
hope I qualify for this, it feels nostalgic.
Based on how clueless I was when I started, and noow the S-chassis has taught me how to work on car's. (like I had a choice! read"tough love")

My uncle was a dealer, and when he would come visit my family he would always drive a different car, mostly Merc, BMW etc. One weekend he drove a S13 coupe, and I sat in the drivers seat...and wanted it. This was lik '90.

A few years later in 95 I saw the S14 on the street. Brand new...and I changed my mind. From then I wanted my first car to be a S14.

I didnt get one as my first car but in 04 I was able to trade my pretty much built from inside out car for a stock 95 with chopped springs plus cash. My friends thought I was crazy, my brother threatened not to talk to me.

Technically the 2nd owner since the guy I got it from never registered. He only had it for a week.


'04 doing my first SR swap.

whats funny is his site is still up... I just never got around to buying a 240, but have been reading up on them and sr swaps for years, gave up the dream after I gave my balls up and got married. Luckily I won them back in the divorce settlement and I have my BANDWAGON cars now.

go me.

[jdm538]

im far from nostalgic but i think can claim im not a bandwagon jumper. my uncle had a s14 in 96 and a fixed up s13 with cut springs and my dad had a datsun 610 so i pretty much followed in their footsteps..

i got my 98 s14 in 02 with 40k miles im second owner 1st owner was a lessee. i didnt have a good camera then so i dont have stock pics of the car. :( i wish i did though.

before that i had a 89 s13, it over heated so i rebuilt the motor and sold it for $1200. i didnt bother taking pics of this car. it had a full xenon nissan lip kit and wing that i trashed and then i put a chuki front.

when i started fixing up the car i got most of my parts from magic garage in long beach, tech III in paramount, and when i could afford it jspec sam..

[ayuaddict]

i got my first S13 when i was 15...so '04.

[tr4c3]

I wanted a 240 (coupe not a hatch) since around the same time I got into rx7's (like 2002-2003). I always had fc's so I never really had the chance to mess with an s13. It wasn't til last year that I actually owned an s13, and now I'm on #2 and #3. I have my dream coupe awaiting it's build so I'm very happy with that. I've watched initial d later on now, but I don't care for drifting nor the F&F movies, those had never swayed me into buying my s-chassis.

I'll direct link since the pics are kinda big.

oh shit...imma jump in this bitch real quick lol

240sx #1 - 1990 Hatchback - bought in early 2002 (everyone made fun of me for buying a nissan because hondas were "cool" and my car was "slow"...until i dropped in the SR 6 months later with a boost controller and went 14.2 on an open diff, stock SR, and blown suspension...those honda guys shut up REAL quick...no one would race me after that lol)

Nice i remember you now. those were fun times back then, didnt care about anything but my car and girls.
dont worry bout the honda thing. when my S13 got totalled i bought a 96 hatch and wasted a bunch of money on that too. we should get a reunion party goin. that would be awesome.
kinda wonder what happened to Stupra(i forget his real name) that guy was funny

Yeah I was going to say, at the ps2 party he put a fucking mack truck turbo in that thing and was telling stories of going 210mph up the 15 north... LOL!

[projectRDM]

My first S14 was bought new off the lot in October 1995, right before the 96s came out. They didn't have digital cameras back then, I do have a pic of it that my GF blew up and framed for me taken at Christmas that year, lowered on Eibachs with 225/40s on the stock wheels. I still have it hanging on my wall.
The next one, shit there must be a million pictures of it online, from 1997 when it was on 18x7.5, +38 Konig Monsoons to the Villians, to the Advan Siennas, then on to the Volks I have on the new car. I was the first S14 to stick a Supra 3rd brakelight in, that was also 1997, some kid had a picture of it from behind taken in a detail shop and posted it on carmods.com or some dumb site. I don't even know where to look to find any though, I deleted everything when I sold the shell four years ago.

[specialk2003]

I wouldn't consider myself an OG, but I didn't buy my S13 to get into the drift scene. I worked with a guy that was selling it. He wanted too much to start with, but ended up dropping the price enough. This is the only pic I have of when I first got it, monster truck ride height and all. On the Passenger side there is a huge dent on the front and rear fenders.

What's with all the '03 and up crap? I really don't think that qualifies for this thread. I personally didn't get my first 240 untill '03-'04, but I had been into 240's (researching parts and such) since '99 or so. It was markslidesquad's old blue s-13 (featured in super street about forever ago) that sent me over the edge. My buddy used to work with him and he took me for a ride in the car.

So you say '03 don't count, yet you got yours during that time and are posting in here? What if the others also researched
the car just like you have and never got around to get it until then?

when did you ride in Mark's car?

about 1 year after I got it I finally installed coilovers. Car was purchased in 2001.

This is the pic of the day I got my license when I was 16, I don't have any of my older pics on this comp. Sitting next to my friends 356 project which is fully restored now. I had a hula girl hanging off the tow hook until someone stole it, that was the second time, before I had a Kyle doll from SP that came with the car.

Yup, the blue one! I got to ride in it in about '00-'01. Me and my buddy went over to his townhome in the thousand oaks area and he took us for a little "spin". I was oogling his panasports in the garage too! I LOVED that car. The front bumper that he had on it was the cleanest looking s-13 bumper that I have ever seen, I never did find out what it was though. We went down to carl's jr after that and bullshitted for a while. It was cool, Mark is a cool guy. I haven't seen him but maybe once since then though. The funniest shit though was that I was all ricer back then and said that I liked the sound of the BOV. Then he informed me that it wasn't supposed to sound like that and that a pipe had broken. I felt like a total douche. Luckily I have matured since then! :Owned:

This car looks exactly like a car from nor-cal I was going to purchase back in 04, Was about to lock the sale in and then I had some friends who lived up north go check the car out, driveshaft was fucked, turbo had mad shaft play and was ready to go, tires were bald as fuck, rear quarter panel was fucked. So I just dropped the idea of getting a 240.

When I did get around to it, drift tax was ridiculous, and i could only find automatics back then.

Did you ride in Dave's civic too??

[dirtdiggler666]

ok maby you guys could help me out i dont remember much

i think it was in 2000 but i think it was the very first drifting of pros from japan and it was in the parking lot of irwindale i still have the video. irwindale had no clue because the only thing from me and the cars flying by was cones and caution tape:goyou:

i need to figure out how to post up the video

[dirtdiggler666]

oh and brian the civic you are talking about i use to see it on thousand oaks blvd next to a car audio place all the time. never met the guy but the civic was army looking ect damn i wonder what year that was

[Brian]

That was DRIFT SHOWOFF.

Back then they brought out Koguchi in the red 180, Komatsu in the sparkle blue 180 with 15 face, Bai in the orange S15, and Seigo Yamamoto in the green and black 100 chaser.
That was wild.
Koguchi doing burnouts through crowds of people.
I had a BUNCH of photos of that event, but my AT THE TIME GIRLFRIEND hated cars and deleted every single picture except for 2.

I brought home the rear bumper off the signal 180 and had it for a couple years I think. Then I threw it away.

That was a sick event.



WAIT A SEC.... are you talking about the Option Ikaten that happened at night there. Nomuken drove the Signal 180 and... I think Tarzan drive the orange 15.
That one?
Option Ikaten was before Drift Showoff.
That was pretty cool too.

[dirtdiggler666]

ummm it was during the day

im sorry but i have the worst memory

i remember someone crashing and the exhaust falling off and the car lost a shit load of power

[racepar1]

I never actually saw Dave's civic in person, but Dave was there that night too.

Bought my first coupe on 8-20-2002. I found the original date because I posted it on here.

I'm sure I have pictures somewhere, just have to find one. I wanted one since 01 but didn't have my license. Was given a car when I got my license but eventually got rid of that and bought a 89 240sx with 108k miles and a nice blue paint job. The chassis was pretty rusted so I got another non-rusted coupe about two years ago.

So i have only had 2 chassis' but I've since rebuilt that original SOHC engine and turboed it and it is still being used every day.

[racepar1]

Ok, show of hands. Who was at the first US D1GP event in '02 (I believe) at irwindale? I was sooo happy when Tanaguchi crashed in the final run! I was rooting for Ueno and his 86 all day!

I haven't owned one yet, but I remember back in 2002 or so, I saw a white Kouki S14 at the dealer and had to stop in. Test drove it, liked it, but it was just too slow. This was before the easiness of engine swaps like today, so I figured it was always going to be that slow and left it at that. Then I got back in my nitrous-fed 2000 Mustang and drove home. :)

i bought my first 240sx last year. Finally saved enough money for one but I've wanted one since 1999/2000. Back when you could easily buy one for less than $1000 and no one knew what drifting was.

not as cool...

My first S14 was bought new off the lot in October 1995, right before the 96s came out. They didn't have digital cameras back then, I do have a pic of it that my GF blew up and framed for me taken at Christmas that year, lowered on Eibachs with 225/40s on the stock wheels. I still have it hanging on my wall.
The next one, shit there must be a million pictures of it online, from 1997 when it was on 18x7.5, +38 Konig Monsoons to the Villians, to the Advan Siennas, then on to the Volks I have on the new car. I was the first S14 to stick a Supra 3rd brakelight in, that was also 1997, some kid had a picture of it from behind taken in a detail shop and posted it on carmods.com or some dumb site. I don't even know where to look to find any though, I deleted everything when I sold the shell four years ago.

huh?

what?

Parents bought me this in 03 for getting straight A's (yeah I was spoiled I know). Car had a shitload of problems that I didn't know about. Interior had to be rewired ugh...

This is the pic of the day I got my license when I was 16, I don't have any of my older pics on this comp. Sitting next to my friends 356 project which is fully restored now. I had a hula girl hanging off the tow hook until someone stole it, that was the second time, before I had a Kyle doll from SP that came with the car.

i remember this car, the s13 w/ overfenders that sits too high and looks weird because you said something about not being able to drive up the steep driveway at your house, so you needed the extra ride height.

weird, but i still remember all this.

once you fuckup your head gasket from not doing the timing chain/tension replacement properly, there was only one solution: rebuild the upper deck and have fun cleaning it up at the same time. weird, but still fun for the time.
some folks will remember this look. afterall, this is how i still remember my car being (not like the new pics below).. i still have a hard time believing the below car is actually mine. sounds weird but it happens when you do just a big make-over.

This is way back in 2004 when I purchased my car which I still own to this day. I was 17 then and it was my first car. I didnt really know much about 240s, wanted a GST Eclipse but ended up buyin this 240 after test driving it. Coincidentally this is when I also joined Zilvia, so yeah I go way back...

This is a more recent picture, as you can see not much has changed exterior wise, however since then the car is riding on KYB AGXs, Z32 brakes all around, KA has gone turbo, I got a HKS hi-power, Calum-sult ECU, some gauges, Nismo shift knob, and pretty soon my 18" Work S2Rs are coming in. So I will update as soon as that happens.

Mike, I swear to god if you don't take your car to the track once it is running I am going to beat you unconscious with a blunt object, steal your wheels and tires, and take them to the track and rape them for all they are worth! Soo fuckin meaty! Me likey!

Ok, show of hands. Who was at the first US D1GP event in '02 (I believe) at irwindale? I was sooo happy when Tanaguchi crashed in the final run! I was rooting for Ueno and his 86 all day!

[mrmephistopheles]

This is way back in 2004 when I purchased my car which I still own to this day.

Oh damn, you're so oldschool.

What was it like having a 240 before F&F3?
Before D1GP USA... ENDED.

I got my car in '00, and I'm still hesitant to not consider myself a bandwagoneer.

Sorry, anyone posting after '02 is a tried and true bandwagoner.

Doesn't mean you're not in love with and dedicated to 240s - just means you don't qualify for this thread.

[LA_phantom_240]

Sorry, anyone posting after '02 is a tried and true bandwagoner.

This is a lie. I've been a fan of the Datsun Z cars ever since I can remember. I had my S13 back in '03, before drifting was 'cool' (or at least I had never heard of it), back when the Honda Civic was the mad shit, when fart cans and park bench wings ruled the highways.... And I bought an S13 at an auction for $800. I just happened to like the car's style, and found Zilvia. Fell in love with the platform, and have owned 240s ever since.

I may not be Zilvia OG, but I'm not a bandwagoner who bought my 240 because it was the cool thing to do. I just happened to stumble upon a car I could afford, gave it a shot, and I've stuck with them ever since.

[mrmephistopheles]

http://www.clearcorners.com/temp/kevin.jpg

hey kevin, here is pic YOU took... remember this?

mikhail

Fuck yes I do. We were going to go eat and try to get rotors turned or something as I recall. I remember your wonder at how nice your car looked as it was being driven.

Also that pic of my car.. I could probably narrow down when it was taken. Before manual seatbelts, and before adding Z32 brakes, but after 5 lug... I miss the car like that. Oh wait, it's pretty much still the same. HAHA

I assume you remember this:

[95KA-Turbo]

I didn't have my own car until 2005, so I'm 100% not OG. However, I didn't jump on any sort of bandwagon, I didn't even know anything about cars until I bought my first S14. All of my friends were into Civics and shit from middle school but I never got into any of that - nor knew anything about the car "scene". I remember struggling to change a tire, haha! I won't post any pictures because they probably don't belong, I'm just glad I never had a "ricer" phase or a FWD phase or anything else like that.

[ManoNegra]

Had a gay Celica I couldn't modify in the late 90s.
Saw Intial D and became a sil80 fanboy
Researched intrawebs and found Benson's site
from there I found socal240sx.org
this was early 2000s
finally bought a pignose in early 2002 for ~$2200
friend with a GSR at the Circuit City I worked at
showed me my first Video Option VHS tape
saw the Silvia/180sx special and being dreaming of building a type x 180 since
C's shifter for ~$350 was my first mod
followed by Cusco front and rear strut bars
purchased most of my stuff from PDM Racing back then
first meet was the 2002 National Convention
Remember the epic battles between Henry and just about everyone else on the East coast.
Was at the Drift Showoff standing by the wall when Koguchi was sliding the
red 180 three feet from me.
Was at the first D1 exhibition and a few other drift events before
it got tired.
Missed the first Shine street meet but made the rest
still don't consider myself an old timer though...

Ill have to scan in pics of my s14 from 03...didnt have a digi cam back then. Oklahoma is like 2 or 3 years behind cali in any kinda trends.

okay, maybe some. but no, i didnt just replace EVERY fucking piece (and yes, i mean EVERY fucking piece) of the exterior to go to the track and fuck it up.

if its going to get fucked up, its going to be right here on mulholland drive. at least i'll take out a mansion or two when my car catches fire when i die racing that idiot who crashed his Ferrari Enzo on PCH.

Not my s-chassis, but still old. Circa 2001, me and my lil bros first cars. At the time S13's were out of my price range so I bought the red GT-S for $1000 with 98,000 miles on it from a girl I had a crush on who was 2 grades older than me lol She wanted "something fast and cute, like a Del Sol"

I used to love Dj Elektrique and Slidesquad and Benson and Nekopunch and stuff after I got my car. I remember when Slidesquad was in Superstreet and I was like WHOA! These guys made it! Before that I remember having Options magazines, and still having not even SEEN A DRIFT VIDEO and imagining how awesome it would look. That was back in Jr. High in like 98-99 era. 8th grade class trip to Uwajimaya and the Asian art museum and I used all $40 my mom gave me to buy stuff on Japanese drift mags hahaha I had never seen drifting or cars look like that before and was in shock, so I bought everything I could. Still pissed that my BOXES of drift magazines from 98-02 got ruined by moisture and mold.

richard's car will always be a pinnacle (IMO) of what an S13 should look like. if it wasnt for his car (overfenders) my car wouldnt have a role model.

jdmrice1 will always be the best, with over fenders, without overfenders, mustang wing.. doesnt matter. his car was always the best with that configuration.

kinda like benson's black car, i always thought it looked best black.

Styles come, styles go. It’s never changing. One thing I can tell you does stay the same….it is and always will be a money pit.

I’ve developed a test of sort. If you don’t know these peoples last names. Trust me. You are not old school. These people (and countless others) pioneered the 240sx way of life. Most have moved on, but in strange ways a connection will always be there.

nah thats just you bro, i can type just fine. you need to get a host is what you need. man, guys manage to host photos of girls on the porn forums with only one hand -- you should be able to host pics of your s13, and with 2 hands no less!

but then again, you DID run foglights for headlights and COMPLETELY MOLD your fucking body kit.

hahaha sorry harp, i speaketh only the truth.

but hey in 1996 if you molded your kit...you were somebody....

03 is OG for some people because they were like 15 in 03. If you want people to post who owned cars in 93 then this should be retitled "the 30+ year olds that owned S13s when they were created thread".

[racepar1]

there will be none of that.

okay, maybe some. but no, i didnt just replace EVERY fucking piece (and yes, i mean EVERY fucking piece) of the exterior to go to the track and fuck it up.

if its going to get fucked up, its going to be right here on mulholland drive. at least i'll take out a mansion or two when my car catches fire when i die racing that idiot who crashed his Ferrari Enzo on PCH.

yes, i have plans, big SPLENDIFEROUS plans. opa!

Goddamnit Mike! The r888's are a waste without a racetrack! They'll NEVER get hot enough in the canyons to grip right. I'm not telling you to go out and drift into a bunch of cones and shit, I am telling you to go to a REAL trackday and beat the piss out of your car and tires with me. It's FUN! You KNOW you wanna!

I'm glad I finally have backup for the "2003-2004 just doesn't cut it for this thread" thing. If you are like me and have been into 240's since the late 90's, but were too broke to buy one, then come in here and swap stories. Pics just don't qualify though unless they are circa 2002 at the latest or are to show your progression over the years. Hell I think most of the REAL old skool guys have moved on.

richard who? jdm_what?

i dont remember that car.



seriously, these young fucks have NO clue how tight-net the old school community was.. socal 240 list, AMAROK mailing list and all that jazz. we literally shared EVERYTHING. nowadays, i dont want ANYONE knowing shit really about my car/mods/etc.

i cant believe how much shit ive got saved away in this hard drive throughout the years... crazy!

i was there the day he wrecked that car...went too far into the sweeper...hit the island...island pulled him straight into the lamp post...was not groovy (it was at the very first vegasdrift event...there was like 6-8 of us vegas locals...rest were cali drivers...i damn near shat myself when i saw ernies old yellow S13 coupe..oooooo that car was sessy ;))

then rich comes back a year later with a fully built purple sil80 (s15 strawberry face conversion)...ernie was driving it at drift show off (night before DD9 here in vegas)...ah back in the good ol days when there was like 8 of us in vegas who went out drifting and cops had no idea what drifting was (hehehehh back in the vegas_touge days hahhahahhahahaahha)

I'm sorry but I have to say...I want my hatch to look exactly like this when I'm done with it.

As for OG, back in the day..well, I rocked Toyota, of course back in the day for me was like 2004, well 2002 if you count drifting in LFS which I learned a lot from actually -

Sam, I miss the yellow 13. I had to beat up Kevin to drive it back from D1 that year. :D

[burnsauto]

I mean Brian H.... you do have a point. Everyone has their own version of Nostalgia. Some of us (well...most of us) were still in grade school when the S chassis was an uncool thing to have.

For me, I remember dancing in my living room when i was 17...when I got my first S13 (just a shell). I was so excited just to own one. I now know...im a lifer. I could never leave this scene...I'll always have a nissan, and prob always an S chassis in my driveway/garage.

I look at it this way, I'm only in my early 20's...I've spent almost a quarter of my life building and loving these cars. Its what helped shape me as a person, who i associate myself with, and even my career. Remembering the day that changed how my life would be led, makes me feel someone nostalgic and appreciative of these cars.

In high school (95-ish) I wanted an s13 coupe soooo bad. My dad told me "No, they are too expensive!" hahahah

I got the same thing but i wanted an S14. I finally got mine when i graduated (saved up and up and up). I'll have to scan some pics of it. Paint was perfect, i waxed her every day. Only mod at the time was an Injen intake and a Le Bra!!! I have no clue why i thought a Bra was cool for a car!?!?!?

That car is the reason I went with the Silvia front, with Aero Bumper, and bugged the goofy looking guy in the middle to find me an EastBear lip for it. I wish I had purchased my 240 sooner, and met all the cool kids. But there were a couple things stopping me. First off, in 2000 I was still heavy into my ricer days, building useless cars and revving my engine at everything that moved, until the car got totaled. Second, Im still in the middle of no where on the East Coast. :keke:

then rich comes back a year later with a fully built purple sil80 (s15 strawberry face conversion)...

haha i can probably make a time-line out of all these pictures.

funny, i dont think people have a real understanding how influential certain people and certain shops were back in the day. people like sam, richard and wayne really created an epicenter of car culture (no, not like the scion brand bullshit) but an overall sense of community for folks to meetup, hang out, buy rare parts, etc. as anti-everything i am, i even managed to have several events at my old shop for folks on the socal240 list.

amazing how things have changed though.

[exitspeed]

I wanted a Zenki S14 in HS. I remember seeing ads in MotorTrend and just thinking in was the hotness. I was po' back then and I was just dreamin.

It wasn't until I got sick of buying whack ass cars that I decided to buy something legit. Did mad research and stumbled on Zilvia when it looked like this.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/exitspeed/zilvia03.jpg

I made a bunch of terrible newb posts (shit I still do) and bought my first 240 shortly after.

Rolled around stock as fuck fo'ever.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Its funny how everybodys talking about how close knit the 240 scene was late 90s and early 2ks. I remember having my own close knit group of 240 guys up in the Tri-state. NJ, NY and Philadelphia cats. We used to drive up Queens, have dinner every 3rd fridays of the month and go on a lil cruise. I miss those fucking days...you dont have to worry about people ganking your shit, pop your hood, having a fucking intake on your KA was the shit!!! Well okay but you get the idea...

Aftermarket Parts readily available for a 240sx back then was a pain in the fucking ass to find. No real turbo kit, everything was piece together. Rev-hard log type manifold was the only manifold available for the KA. Anybody still remember the great Greddy KA Manifold?!?! I lost track of how many times I had to reweld that piece of shit...

And A&W is the macho man with the sunglasses and brown shirt. Very cool man Mr. A&W.
Mike is hiding somewhere in that photo or checking out some guys car that had incorrect beam pattern on thier headlights

The guy in the blue shirt, is he Vlad?

Mike - Was Eric REx at this meet? I don't recall.

I remember that guy in the long sleeve white shirt was a cool
guy, just don't remember his name. I know he moved to the East Coast.

Other names in so cal that helped the movement...
Kevin of course.
Ken Flores.

I don't remember if Cameron was at this meet. But he was certainly a

You know what my favorite part of the Thread is so far?

Mamos hasn't had to yell at anybody about using shitty parts, and seeing him reminisce about the old days is refreshing.

It would be nice if we could have a close knit community again, instead of all the scamming, fighting, and destroying of cars we have now. It's the nature of the beast as drifting gains popularity and everybody jumps in a 240, because it's "the perfect drift car" and no one cares about destroying them.

Can't wait to see your car done Mike. I used to drool over the pics on your site all the time, before I even knew "old_s13". :bow:

The problem is that the community has gotten too large to really be close knit. There are still close knit communities within the overall 240 community though. Look at the 818 guys (which I am one of). We all know eachother and help eachother, no scamming here. We also have probably the best regular meet and one of the most popular threads here on zilvia.

oh...give it another 6 months when the new S chassis is debuted...u think theyre popular now...wait until all the little yuppy rich kids have their parents go get them a brand new S chassis in early 2010...no more having to learn about SRs and CAs...car will come with a MR16hrt motor...no more having to replace 14 year old blown suspension to take them drifting...no more having to learn to wire your shit right in the engine bay

as much as i look forward to buying a brand new S chassis and being the SINGLE OWNER of the car...im just kinda dreading the idea of how many NEW people its going to attract and how problematic our cars are going to become (more so than they already are)...and with toyota/subaru entering the fray...its gonna be a whole new generation of drift kids

but i do miss the old "tight nit" days when the drift scene was tiny no matter where you went and the people who were involved generally coveted their cars and didnt dream of taking them out and beating them all to hell...but life goes on no?

[smellslikecurry]

how did i miss this damn thread


i used to freakin drool over that damn jdm rice all day

and kevs car was the reason i got r32 wheels for my s14 back then damn

i bought my first s13 around feb 2003...red sohc...smashed up front...got it for 50 bucks from my neighbor...tied it to the front of a tree and pulled the frame out...ghetto fab at its finest...i was also 15

then i bought what was probably the cleanest s14 a few months later from rich from revtech racing...

it took me about a week before i slid across my neighbors lawn smashing my cwest kit and destroying my simmons wheels :(

Maybe if you bought a 350z in 2003 your 350OG. (like me)
I had a 240 boner since the 90s. Way before 99.999% of americans knew what drifting was or why a 240 is cool, and wtf is a skyline? I had a stock s13 in highschool as my first car. When Gran Turismo ONE came out (like 1997?), I was happy to see all my favorite jdm rides.

....werd

[smellslikecurry]

stock s13 in hs= 2003? lol

[DeadlyZ33]

crab spirits was his screenname... also had that old s30z with s14 irs subframe.

Yes that is his screen name, real name Brian, I met him a while back in like 2003 or 2004 at the fist local 240 meet I attended at Hooters in Schaumburg IL. Thats where I also met Simba. I actually have pics of crabs S13 from that meet, prior to the final body work, this was when it was still in its development stage:

[projectRDM]

03 is OG for some people because they were like 15 in 03. If you want people to post who owned cars in 93 then this should be retitled "the 30+ year olds that owned S13s when they were created thread".

No, it's not. OG is simply that, old school. Anything in this decade is not old, period. You may feel you're old school because you've owned a 240 for more than five years, that doesn't qualify. 99% of the cars and posts in here don't belong, but people seem to have this retarded misconception that if it happened last week, it's old news. If you were 15 yrs old then, or even if you're 20yrs old now and own a 240, you are NOT old school. You kids don't know shit about what the scene was like ten years ago and longer. When I bought my 2nd S14 in 1996 I met a few guys (Chris May, the one standing under my hood on page 3) and others who were avid autocross and track guys who happened to own 240s. I saw Kouki tails, Eastbear headlights, and an SR before the internet was even solidified, crazy shit I have never even heard of, but the community back then was tight knit and seriously cool. I drove all over the East Coast to go to 240 meets for years and met some of the coolest people ever, most are still good friends today. I knew every single person in Atlanta who owned a modded 240 and most of them in other States and could count on anyone of them putting me up for the night if I was passing through. It really was a community back then. These guys on here, Mike, Kevin, Harp, Sam, and Alex Chang, Asad, Jeff Baysinger, Tony To, Derek Greaser, Louis Snodgrass, these guys were the originators of the nationwide 240SX scene before we had forums, internet chat rooms, Ebay, drifting, all the other shit that we have today.
It's sad that those days are gone, the scene itself turned to shit long before most of you guys even bought your cars, people grew up and moved on to other things and the high schoolers came in, rode the wagon, and ruined it for the people who help start the movement. Like Mike said, I wouldn't dare post a mod list or pics of my car online today, shit would be stolen in 30 minutes, distributed throughout the web, and some of you guys would talk about the new parts you scored the next day without even knowing or caring that it was stolen. The rest of the 240 owners today are all a bunch of hardass ethugs who really did jump the wagon because they jacked off to drifting videos just waiting until they turned 16 so they could beg their parents to buy them a beat ass shell with caved in quarters because it's cool.

^^^For real. If you were 15 in '03 you are NOT old school.....PERIOD. Hell I am not old school. I may have an old school story or two, but I have no idea what the "scene" was like back then. I didn't even get into the "scene" untill I joined here in '07. I just built and enjoyed my first 240 and was completely happy with that. It is pretty dope to see the REAL old school guys in here posting pics and stories, I wish I was in it back then.

[lilredstiffy]

"Before the drift craze? The good old days? yeah, let me tell you about one time at applebees. we had all of our 240 gang there- chaz's s13 with eibachs and custom intake, me and my s14 with a jdm climate control and tenzo wheels, and barrys s13 with kouki tails. Mind you, this was like 1997. Before you could even see these mods on the internet. Anyway, the waitress thought our cars were so rad, she gave me a hug!!"

wtf damn jeff... did your body shop color match your HAIR? how much did they charge you? i gotta ask my shop how much they'de charge to color match my pubic mane... hahahaha

i am still amazed that you went from red to yellow, i would never attempt such a bold change in paint color.

yellow sadly was the shit from 99-01... thankfully they stopped making yellow cars. barf!

yellow sadly was the shit from 99-01... thankfully they stopped making yellow cars. barf!

i loved my yellow paint job. it was done right yellow w/gold pearl. it glowed when the sun hit it right.

but thinking about it more i dont think i would do it again.

[skylindrftr]

i remember this car, the s13 w/ overfenders that sits too high and looks weird because you said something about not being able to drive up the steep driveway at your house, so you needed the extra ride height.

weird, but i still remember all this.

lol when was that? It doesn't sit that way anymore, sucks even worse now. I had Tein HR's at the time, non height independent adjustable suckers.... I switched them out for Apex'i N1 EXV's so it's lower now =P

oh man... i remeber back in 99 i started wanting a 240... was barely in Middle school

01 found drifting... fell in love with 240s
by 03 i wanted a 240, but was so happy ridding shot gun in 350z's that i put my 240 dreams on the back burner...

which i knew then what i knew now.... i didn't know shit back then other than 240+SR =dorifto ... didn't even know that ka's came in 240s

[s13dan]

People like you dont help shit... You think your OG??Im sorry im not very old, my frist car was 240 and so on-the usally rap. I STILL LOVE THE CARS!!! Im not going to go into my story but you should check yourself.. I wish i coulda been there, i dont like all the hype either no one does.. EVERYONE wants to be original and say they were there first to have,hear or do something and so on.But you rarly can be ,the way your acting is terrible.You should be happy that there are other 240 enthusiasts and be inviting. Instead your condescending and just plain rude. Even if you really are one of the first people in america to consider yourself a die hard 240sx fan, japan had it first. Coping is the greatest form of flattery. AND we all have the same passion, so chill. There are people younger than you that are good people. Were not all pieces of shit that want to steal your things. Many are just like you except when you had your first 240 it was newer....

-Do you really think your better than someone that became an enthusiast after you? Same team man- IM NOT O.G. IM LEAVING THIS THREAD

SORRY


No, it's not. OG is simply that, old school. Anything in this decade is not old, period. You may feel you're old school because you've owned a 240 for more than five years, that doesn't qualify. 99% of the cars and posts in here don't belong, but people seem to have this retarded misconception that if it happened last week, it's old news. If you were 15 yrs old then, or even if you're 20yrs old now and own a 240, you are NOT old school. You kids don't know shit about what the scene was like ten years ago and longer. When I bought my 2nd S14 in 1996 I met a few guys (Chris May, the one standing under my hood on page 3) and others who were avid autocross and track guys who happened to own 240s. I saw Kouki tails, Eastbear headlights, and an SR before the internet was even solidified, crazy shit I have never even heard of, but the community back then was tight knit and seriously cool. I drove all over the East Coast to go to 240 meets for years and met some of the coolest people ever, most are still good friends today. I knew every single person in Atlanta who owned a modded 240 and most of them in other States and could count on anyone of them putting me up for the night if I was passing through. It really was a community back then. These guys on here, Mike, Kevin, Harp, Sam, and Alex Chang, Asad, Jeff Baysinger, Tony To, Derek Greaser, Louis Snodgrass, these guys were the originators of the nationwide 240SX scene before we had forums, internet chat rooms, Ebay, drifting, all the other shit that we have today.
It's sad that those days are gone, the scene itself turned to shit long before most of you guys even bought your cars, people grew up and moved on to other things and the high schoolers came in, rode the wagon, and ruined it for the people who help start the movement. Like Mike said, I wouldn't dare post a mod list or pics of my car online today, shit would be stolen in 30 minutes, distributed throughout the web, and some of you guys would talk about the new parts you scored the next day without even knowing or caring that it was stolen. The rest of the 240 owners today are all a bunch of hardass ethugs who really did jump the wagon because they jacked off to drifting videos just waiting until they turned 16 so they could beg their parents to buy them a beat ass shell with caved in quarters because it's cool.

SORRY

No one ever said anyone was any better than any one else. Your reading sucks. I also never said I invented the 240 or anything like that. I also guess you meant to say copying is the greatest form of flattery, so tell me, who was I copying in 1995? I had never seen an issue of Option magazine or even knew there was such a market in Japan, I just bought parts because I wanted my car to be faster. And if you're going to say I "don't help shit", then you've never read any post I've ever made in tech.
I'm happy people like their cars, true. But do I get excited about meeting cool, new people just because we own the same car? No. I don't care about the scene anymore nor do I look forward to standing around a parking lot talking about cars with a bunch of dudes half my age, cool or not. There is no 'team', we're all just random people who own 240s. Some appreciate them more than others, that's it. If you want to break out the marshmallows and sing kumbaya, go for it. I won't be there. If you get offended by that, you're too wrapped up in trivial things.

[White Comet]

i'm not old school when it comes to owning a 240 but i've been into them since before they became cool. my little brother bought an s13 coupe for $1k when he was 14 (i was 17) my friend bought his 92 coupe se less then a year before that. i didnt get my first 240 until just before they became well know, but i got my fc when i was 17. like i said not og, but not a bandwagoner

[Zero-Offset]

haha "same team" well put! ^^
don't know why it has to get all angry up in here.
we all love this one car that manages to bring people together, just in different spaces in time.

i remember back in 02-03 when i was in the 5th or 6th grade, i had a neighbor that owned a Zenki with some late 90's bodykit and rims. I would stare at the emblem "240sx" on the back every day as i walked to school, and fell in love. Ever since i wanted an s14, but the s13 seemed to work its way into my life.

Sorry im not "OG" nor am i claiming to be, seeing as it is very subjective, but i just wanted to share the same passion i have for these piles as everyone else does!

[Z33dori]

so would Band wagoners be anyone who didn't get into... like s-chassis post 04-05

once the big drift faze hit thanks to NFSU and such

[landins13]

Forums have become the death of the car scene, e-thugs copy cats and trends have become the overall destruction of the car scene and everything i grew to love. I do not consider myself OG in any way shape or form, but thanks to bad parenting and a father who owned a used car lot i got into the car scene long before i could drive.

I picked up my first s-chasis when i was 13 with my bar-mitzvah money yes i said it, my bar-mitzvah money. It was a 1970 240z with 236k miles on it i bought it with every intention of restoring it by the time i was 16 and could legally drive.

the rust on it was rediculous and it took me until i was 16 just to replace the majority of the frame and floor panel when i finally got the job done i gifted my dad the car as a trade for my s13 since my dads favorite car has always been the 240z.

ive been around for a long time, ive seen alot of changes in the scene i love, its become more about when the majority wants and what is trendy on the forums, when we still had a rep system i got my fair share of hate for supporting the people who did their own things and not the trendy "jdm" photocopied cars everyone else wants.

i miss the way things used to be and i miss the people who made this scene a family.

there isnt enough of a community anymore, everyone feels as though they have something to prove yet as soon as they step out of line from the cookie cutter image of what an s-chasis should be they are shot down and destroyed.

for the kids in high school and to the true OG's all i say is this, if a true enthusiast exits, support him, if you dont like something they are doing to their car, change your imput from i hate it change this change that to something more simple like, not my taste but to each their own.

to the guys who paved the way before me and to those who will come after, lets make the scene what it was, a family and a community, full of different ages opinions and ideas.

[HyperTek]

i think alot of the older guys would be more appreciative towards the car builds that have tons of legit expensive parts on em, compared to what some see in our eyes as young guys with all the aftermarket cheap parts and not work their ass off to source em compared to few years ago.

Times have changed.. in 03 i bought a hks type s intercooler for like $800 piecing up my sr swap.. that was typical front mount pricing. Only legit parts back then. Now alot of people turn to ebay $200 fmic specials.

ALot of the guys I looked up to back then , well they either moved on, or they no longer daily drive their cars on the streets. More often now you will see younger kids with even more ragtag 240s around, and the explosion of low ballers.

I think this is jookybanana's car??

No kidding. The sportmax/SS autochrome mentality has RUINED the 240sx community.

[Z33dori]

i wouldn't say sportmax really ruined any thing...

i did some research after finding some pretty old drift videos..... and almost every car there was running some dinky 16-17 wheels that looked exactly like the 002. so i asked a few ppl did some searching... found out that the wheels where like the cheap wheels that everyone could get alot of for track events.....

true they are cheap, and so many ppl have them, they got played pretty quick. No diff than honda scene and rota slip streams.

[fliprayzin240sx]

then i bought what was probably the cleanest s14 a few months later from rich from revtech racing...

it took me about a week before i slid across my neighbors lawn smashing my cwest kit and destroying my simmons wheels :(

YOUR STILL AN ASSHOLE FOR DOING THAT!!! I saved the carbon hood from you thank god!!! I fucking loved that car, except for it was automatic...
(wait did i ever meet you in NJ?!?! I keep fucking forgetting if I did or not)

The OG IFX guys will always be my first close knit family...Stans pretty much the only person I've said wussup to online in awhile. Most of the guys have either moved on or just grew up from it.

Talked to Richard a while back to see wussup with him, guess he's still rocking the S2K. Tried to get with him in Philippines during Xmas, but i fucking forgot to bring his phone number back with me.



Anyways, Life Plaza Meets back in 03, went to a couple when I was down in Socal that summer. Kenny dragged me over there and met up with Mike, Henry and a bunch of other guys. Chill out there till 11 ish then used to go up to GMR or Bullrun and hang out there till 3 in the morning.

Wait what happend to Henry anyways? Last shit I remember about him was when he wrecked trying to run from the cops. HAHA...who still got pictures of that?!?!

[ixfxi]

lol when was that? It doesn't sit that way anymore, sucks even worse now. I had Tein HR's at the time, non height independent adjustable suckers.... I switched them out for Apex'i N1 EXV's so it's lower now =P

i have pictures of this car saved on my computer at the office.

seriously, you guys have no clue how huge my collection is. its near 10 years of continuous "right-click-save"

i saved numerous photos of widebody cars, all because i knew i wanted to go that configuration... eventually. the thing is, doing widebody right is a very hard thing. there are so many variables that need to be taken into consideration, and no offense.. many people (including yourself) could benefit from. things like ride height, body panels, molding or not molding, etc.. all make a difference in the finished look of the car. and by finished, i mean really, really........ meticulously finished and assembled.

this is the thing almost ALL 240 owners skimp on, is assembling the car in a way that looks professional and factory, keeping the body panels lined up and the seams equally matched. this is pretty much an impossibility if you use shitty aftermarket parts or if you simply dont care and use zipties for attaching your bumper/fender/closing your pants.

2002 convention my car next to mike mamos car i think lol
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/streetphase/Dscn0132.jpg

yep, thats definitely my s13 with the FD wheels and I think thats Ken Fujimatsu's 91-93 next to me (my brother at the time, with the matching champaaaaaaaagne gold)....

i have some more pics I'll have to post up of that nissan convention, i have a few wallpaper photos i took with me and jon carsons super clean super stock s13.

Wait what happend to Henry anyways? Last shit I remember about him was when he wrecked trying to run from the cops. HAHA...who still got pictures of that?!?!

haha yup, im waiting for someone to post up some old school nitekids photos as well! that shit is GOLD. i still remember logging in to see fucking COP PICS of his car getting impounded, fucking awesome.

seriously, henry went down in fuckin HISTORY. i dont care how many accounts he's made or how many times he's been banned (shit, ive been banned like what, 5-10 times already)? its all fun.

i think moderators often take their secretarial job of FILING unorganized posts in the wrong section too fucking serious. ;-)

chip.................

seriously, i dont think you've realized that no one cares. either you've been around long enough to be able to contribute to this thread, or in this case, YOU DONT. if you have nothing to contribute, well.. you know you can click back to the "Zilvia.net Forums>" link and return to posting in the hundreds of other threads on zilvia.



as for people killing the scene, i dont think it really matters much. we've all managed to stay connected (through various people/forums/etc) throughout the years. i still talk to richard tang, glenn sato, omar, sam, wayne, harp, kevin/lisa, etc etc etc. Sure, you get busier as life passes us by but we're still around.

im sure lots of people thought i got rid of my 240 at some point because i dont post often, but i still have it... its just been on the back burner for several years now. do it right or dont do it at all.

all i can say is good luck to you guys who plan on restoring their cars, its a HUGE amount of work and takes big money. if i knew i'de spend upwards of 30k doing what i've been doing i doubt i would do it again. at least now i know my car will be clean another decade (maybe two) and be safe and secure in my garage.

i wouldnt suggest modifying your cars if they're not parked indoors. community has grown too shady for that.

speaking of which, anyone ever found my black demon cambers yet? i've been wondering when they are going to surface up again. they were stolen maybe 2 years ago... 16x8 -15 with black centers. oh well.. tear.

YOU need to chill. The thread title doesn't state "anybody who truly loves the cars come in and post pics". It is asking for TRUE OG 240 owners to come in and post pics and stories. All these 2002+ pics are NOT what was REQUESTED by the OP in this thread, therefore they DON'T belong. You are not OG and neither am I. It is not necessarily our faults, we were just too young and/or broke to be a part of it back then. I feel I have an OG attitude, but that doesn't make me OG or make my "old" pics actually belong in this thread. That is what Russ was trying to get across. Not that he or other truly OG 240 owners are better, but that the rest of us don't need to be posting our un-qualified pics and shit here. If you have an OGish story, then post it up. If you have a truly OG pic or two (even if they are just things that you found on the internet), then post them up. If you have questions, then ask them. Just don't clutter up the thread with a bunch of pics and shit that doesn't belong here.

[S13SilviaGirl]

Shit, SO many Old_S13 stories to tell... :keke:

First one...getting on the freeway at some ungodly hour, only to have Mike and Dunn take off hauling ass....I couldn't keep up in my civic. Think to myself "bastard fucking LEFT ME! He is soo gonna die"....while later, find his house...that wasn't fun for anyone. But, I still luv Mike and thank god he never took what I said seriously! haha

Next...Mexican restaurant, has a margarita...tell waitress it was his b-day. Mike is the best person EVAR to tell them it is his b-day at a place when it really isnt....He loves that you remembered his birthday no matter what! (Even better when at islands and the waitress apologizes for not noticing his birthday when she carded him! hahhaa).

Mike wanting to 'clearcorners.com' the rental Solara lights :keke: "come on Lisa, they wont notice it when I am done with them!" I still think he just wanted a free platform template. Were you in the car when we brake checked it, and tried to launch it?




Lastly, not sure if Mike was apart of this or not, but a classic oldie...CucinaCucina in Ontario....and the Green Penii on the table, and the waiter hitting on (was it Jeff? I can't remember!)

[upSLIDEdown]

For all the east coast heads. One of the best spots to get motors.

Noyan USA thier original location. I think this was my second motor from them. 3 total.

Not anymore. They've pretty much stopped doing motors, and now they're exporting entire cars to Asia. lol I got my engine there less than a year ago, and supposedly it was one of the last 2 SRs they were gonna get. My buddy has a dealer account with them and has gotten probably at least 40 or 50 engines from them.




Wow, back to 2000. Oh the memories.

YOUR STILL AN ASSHOLE FOR DOING THAT!!! I saved the carbon hood from you thank god!!! I fucking loved that car, except for it was automatic...
(wait did i ever meet you in NJ?!?! I keep fucking forgetting if I did or not)

The OG IFX guys will always be my first close knit family...Stans pretty much the only person I've said wussup to online in awhile. Most of the guys have either moved on or just grew up from it.

Talked to Richard a while back to see wussup with him, guess he's still rocking the S2K. Tried to get with him in Philippines during Xmas, but i fucking forgot to bring his phone number back with me.


haha yea but i fixed it up back to normal...dumped mad dough into new simmons, cwest kit...coilovers

then i did the 5 speed swap an had a kat kit made from some random dude in florida...

sold the recaros too thne sold the car...people started vandalizing it when i moved to queens and i didnt want it being stolen...sold it to this asian kid from port jeff

never got to meet you in person...you left for cali before i got to meet you

[ixfxi]

Shit, SO many Old_S13 stories to tell... :keke:

First one...getting on the freeway at some ungodly hour, only to have Mike and Dunn take off hauling ass....I couldn't keep up in my civic. Think to myself "bastard fucking LEFT ME! He is soo gonna die"....while later, find his house...that wasn't fun for anyone. But, I still luv Mike and thank god he never took what I said seriously! haha

Next...Mexican restaurant, has a margarita...tell waitress it was his b-day. Mike is the best person EVAR to tell them it is his b-day at a place when it really isnt....He loves that you remembered his birthday no matter what! (Even better when at islands and the waitress apologizes for not noticing his birthday when she carded him! hahhaa).

Mike wanting to 'clearcorners.com' the rental Solara lights :keke: "come on Lisa, they wont notice it when I am done with them!" I still think he just wanted a free platform template. Were you in the car when we brake checked it, and tried to launch it?




Lastly, not sure if Mike was apart of this or not, but a classic oldie...CucinaCucina in Ontario....and the Green Penii on the table, and the waiter hitting on (was it Jeff? I can't remember!)



all those useless stories and you dont mention the titty?


i grabbed lisa's friend's titty.


she was a bit chubby if i recall correctly, but she was very horny and talked a lot. so i wanted to piss her off and shut her up, so i busted a bionic commando and grappled her boobs. i cant remember if it was one hand or two, but if my memory is correct, it was a handful or mammary madness. I was like "come-on titty, come on titty..." haha sorry, some chappelle humor for you guys.

i miss being single. especially now. if i was single, i'de probably do a lot worse... but yeah, no my wife has to deal with my disorders.

[S13SilviaGirl]

Haaha I left the boob out because I wasn't sure how the wifey would take it. haha.

I think it was more than you just wanting to shut her up too. haha. You were blitzed off half a margarita and some add-in. hahha

As for CucinaCucina...Kevin thinks it was John.

if i remember correctly.. dude was just basically sick and tired of getting harassed by cops and he just decided that he wanted to as how jay z would say it "bounce on the devil put the pedal to the floor" the next time a cop wanted to pull him over

[ALTRNTV]

Nitekids tried to outrun the cops with his SR20, I guess it didn't pull a premium.

i wish i had all my old pics of my first 240 :(

i had it from october 2002 to november 2004

back in 04, dad got it for me as a father son project(guy in the back of my father shop helped me put it back together)
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i235/dsc4130/DSC02210.jpg
05 bought it off a friend

i dont know the full story behind henry's reason to run, i just know its fuckin badassed and im sure everyone at one point in their life dreams about being that guy running from the cops on the news, but with a badassed car.

well, i guess henry tried it and well, maybe his driving skills were sub-par.. or maybe the chp was better.. who knows.

all i know is that it made GREAT reading with my morning bowl of cereal 4-5 years ago when it happened.

SEARCH "nitekids" and maybe you guys will digup some fun stories. i'm still waiting for the DRIFT PICS where people photoshopped his car drifting tandem with CHP!!! that shit was awesome.

[Brian]

Here is one.
back then when you had cool parts, nobody would say "oh those are baller".
What the hell happened to make people call cool parts "baller". I hate it.

[HyperTek]

gotta love how the 18 year olds come in here "yeah man back in the day..." lmao
or "i drove a toyota back then..." lol

you kids got it soo easy now.. cheap wheel selection, all the knowledge in the world is out there now etc... back in the day people ahd to be pioneers and most of the aftermarket parts had to only be through an importer.

Brian has a point, no one said baller back then.. brand name parts on a S chassis was the norm lol. Brand name parts on a 240 now, kids think you got money compared to ebay specials lol

[VROOOM]

when i first started messin with my 240, Options Auto Salon was the only place you could find parts.

[HyperTek]

^vroom i remember looking up to you car, i thought the interior was sooo tight. I thought the painted vents was soo dope
i had done mine lol
http://i38.tinypic.com/29er5eu.jpg
only pic i have.. i had all the vents painted. THought it looked pretty good back then.

Wasnt there another guy who had the full Cwest kit in blue? i remember that car...

[VROOOM]

^vroom i remember looking up to you car, i thought the interior was sooo tight. I thought the painted vents was soo dope


Wasnt there another guy who had the full Cwest kit in blue? i remember that car...

yeah i think a guy in San Diego had a Full Cwest kit on a blue S13. my interior was pretty ricey, but that was the style back then.

After my car was totalled and the insurance gave me money for my car. i bought a Civic.....yeah i did the opposite of everyone else. i saw my car in the autotrader 2 different times by two different people. who know it may still be out there!?!?!?!

[420sx]

i got my 240 back in 03.

i had NO IDEA whats that car associated with, i just liked it because it looked cool and it was manual.... my galant blew a tranny 3rd time in a row so i went to the dealer saw the 95 240sx and bought it for 5k + my trade in. 5 speed 60k miles.... seems so long ago.

i didn't know anything about drifting back then just drag, started doing little mods here and there myself. remember was so proud of myself putting a aem intake on, made the car sound awesome :) i was 20 back then.
fucked around in parking lots for a while when i actually met some other 240 people. really not alot here in town and thats where it all started i guess.
once i went to an actual event in a sohc hatch that we had at the shop i was hooked and that was back in 2006. so i guess im noob compare to some old school people out here. still fun to read

[Zen S14]

I got mine back in 1998..95 base with the steel rims and hub caps. I didn't start actually modding it until 1999 when I bought the Apexi N1 and their old Super Intake, the one that still needed oil, and the old hotshot header with the fitment issues but nicer pipe design. Unlike some on here I still have that exact car in my possession, its more modded now but its the same car I bought used from the Nissan dealer all those years ago.

lolz, i did that photoshop. i have it some where barried way in my hard drive.

Henry was getting away. but as you can see, he was squeezing through the 2 lanes and the tow truck guy saw what was going on and wanted to play hero by blocking him in.

1.2 bar, gt-rs.... he pulled on that cop.... almost made it to the freeway. good try Nitekids. every still loves you.

[hybrid_eg]

Does that say HDS on the banner? I used to be part of HDS back in the day lol.. used to have a red eg w/gsr motor swapped before 99 lol.. wow i'm so old now.. hahahah those days were fun!

bought the car in june of 96.
hit by a drunk in oct 01
some local so cal people might remember it, it was at all the shows back in the day. import showoff, shoreline showoff, hot import daze and nights.

10 years ago next month i bought my first 240 paid 4K for it with 96K on the Odometer red hatch SOHC auto. 6 years ago today i bought my first turbo motor a broken down CA18det, i still have the voided copy of the check i wrote for it haha. 6 years later i have only driven the car a total of maybe 1 year. on febuary 25th 2009 it will be the 4 year anniversary of opening up my own shop. these cars have played quite a roll in my life for the last decade.

[S13SILVIA|E46M3]

My Nostalgia Moment...
Loved 240 since around middle school when I saw my first drift video online through my AOL dial-up 56k modem.
My true 240 love is when I got my First back in '02 when I was 17. Every1 called it the "Barney Mobile" because they swore it look purple.

hahaha....I think he may still be into 240's but with as many times as he has been banned, I doubt he will be a mod anytime soon. haha

[hybrid_eg]

yup, HDS. im pretty sure i remember your car.

maybe.. I used to have red eg, at time had a yellow valve cover lol.. was hanging out with guys from OC mainly.. Ryan and etc.. if i still remember their names.. shows, going to palm springs and etc.. must have seen you around but this was soo long ago lol..

times have changed imo... build a car like that now, and be told how lame your fitment is or that its too high

I never did like that car. The front bumper bothered me a LOT and it was not low enough, even for back then (WOW I hardly ever say that). I think I still have that issue around somewhere. I LIVED on magazines for years as I couldn't afford a car of my own. By the time Jerry built this s-13 the yellow jspec.com s-13 was built and that car surpassed this one by far.

[drift freaq]

wow, ok I guess its time to post the only pics of my low mileage 91, that got totaled at the end of August 2002. Bought with 19k in 2000-2001 second 240 after my old Silver blue 89. It got creamed while parked across the street from my building. 36k on it at the time. Sporting S14SE wheels when a lot of us who done the 5 lug swap ran S14 SE wheels and 30 offsets were considered decent.
