If you know a current memeber you can be invited. We did open registration a while back and got a ton of spam and non-searching noobs.

We're a pretty tight knit group, most of us know each other outside of the forum and we like it that way. I'll reference this thread to the owner of CN, no promises tho.

For the most part we're not into the big west coast trends, (hella toilet flush, etc), but there are some jdm fanboi's on there none the less.

I've been a member since like 06-07. You aren't missing anything at all. Just a bunch of old guys with no style that think they know everything.

As opposed to a bunch of young guys with lots of style that actually know everything.

We closed registration a while back for a few reasons including security and most of the new joins we were getting were high-school kids and internet drifters. I'm 32 and own the forum and would rather just not deal with it. Anyone who knows me personally knows I'm a pretty laid back dude (including Csomme) :)

We have great Nissan specific local classifieds, but we don't really want people who only come onto the forums to sell shit. Not only does that not contribute to the forum in general, it also is an invitation to internet scammers (we have had our share of)

If you guys want in I'll open up registration on Saturday, just make sure you register on Saturday.

There's more than enough information here on Zilvia and 240sxforums to get by though.

I agree. We do not attempt to compete with the big national forums as an information source, we are more like a group of locals. The main focus of our forum is interaction with local Nissan enthusiasts.

I'm in it for the local community type of thing. It's cool to watch builds/etc. in our area.

Well, the weekend after I joined CN I was at someones house helping with a SR swap (I had no idea and just did easy stuff) with a few other locals and drinking beer. Can't say the same for the National forums.

I just swapped an S14 KA into my S13 a few weeks ago (not a big deal, but my first swap) and its now on the road. I found all info I needed by searching. I have zero need to go on a forum and ask stupid questions.

I use it for buying and selling, but generally agree with this statement.

We do have local meets for Raleigh, Charlotte and Greensboro. If you look in the meet section (labeled GTFO Events and Meets) you will see that there are numerous opportunities to come out and meet us. Everyone has already hit the nail on the head with what kind of group we are. I am on CN for the community. I like the national forums for the information and tech as well as the classifieds (which is why my post count is so low here). By all means, come on out, meet us and hang out.

Chad, not all of us can build such an amazing drift car. We all don't have the skills it takes to bolt parts on our cars the way you do man!

Some people need help, others don't, sometimes it's just nice to do things with friends.

If it hadn't been for CN, several years ago, I probably wouldn't have a lot of the great friends and memories involving my car like I do now. I like Zilvia and CN but for different reasons. If you don't like CN we don't care, if you do that's great. It's not for everyone, but then again we don't pretend that it is.

I'm a member of CN and I like it personally. It's nice to see what locals are doing and what they're selling. Beats finding everything u need but it's on the West Coast and they won't ship.

I agree! The big meats (teehee) really bring it all together. VIR is probably the one thing I look forward to every year for the simple fact there are usually 30+ of us spending a weekend together and camping. It's about the closest to a vacation that I can usaully get.

I've been a member of CN since 03', and I've enjoyed the tight knit community. I've been less involved lately, but its a great way to meet local enthusiast. My only suggestion is that once your given the opportunity to join don't act like a jackass, and be prepared for word filters.

Joined back in 2006 when I met a fellow member. Great group of guys. I used to go to the meets a lot during my undergrad time in Raleigh and got to know a lot of people well. I moved away for a few years and just moved back. Went to a meet and it was like I was never gone. Everyone was still very nice and more than willing to lend a hand to someone in need.

Both Barry and Phlip (who are members of the site) can attest, CN is worthwhile being a member of. Many of the founding members were and still are some of the founding members of the 240sx popularity movement. Or know those who were (Russ, Mike M. etc), hell there is even a few members who bought their 240 the year it was made. How many people here can claim that they are the original owner of their 240?

Anyway, CN is and will always be a smaller, tight knit community. Of Nissan (and performance orientated car) enthusiasts, and we are fine staying that way.

I think I can rest my point by saying this; most members here that have sold their 240/Z/Nissan, don't post here (i.e. Dook, Nemo etc). I DD an Evo, there is a plethora of S2k, cressida, BMW, subie owners on our site that don't even own a Nissan. Yet they are regular contributing members. I think that speaks volumes.

Sorry guys. I have a final for math on monday and I got sidetracked with study. I'm going to enable registration right now and leave it on overnight.

MAKE SURE that you make a post in the intro thread as soon as you join. We are wary of lurkers and want to know who is using our fourm, that's one of the reasons that it is private.

I'm going to go ahead and take back my previous statement. I guess in the past month I've enjoyed my time there.

And Andy, the car runs perfect, every car I have tried to sell does. I tried to sell this one when it had a blown turbo, but that's fixed now and it's making roughly 300 to the wheels. I build cars the way I want them. Always have.

did you swap the intakes? if so, then this is a stupidly simple swap. most people still ask tons of questions about left over things, idle issues, and no start problems. i've seen a no start problem where the kid forgot to connect his ign coil... but he felt the need to get online and bug people.

So far the site isn't bad and I haven't got bashed yet being a Zilvia member. Just interesting and funny in a not bad way to see the differences between there and here. Like styles and what not.

sullen

01-02-2011, 08:30 AM

styles are like asshole though. everybody's got their own. you can't really bash the style...

i've been trying to get on there for a while now, but i just recently found this.

Well I'm gonna bump this thread up. I am in the Charlotte area, and have been actively looking for some adult 240 owners around here. I've tried twice to message the forum admins to get an invite onto the site, and I never get a response. Can any of you guys get me into the forum? I'd love to leave all the drift tards behind and have some intelligent conversation......

I am bringing this thread back from the dead because Carolinanissans registration is now open. I'll be leaving it open permanently as our forum software has been upgraded which should reduce the amount of spam we were receiving.

I'm the original owner of CN and just took it back over and relaunched with an all new look and forums.

Thanks,
