[KiLLeR2001]

Reference Chart:
http://tehl33tsite.com/240sxdd/misc/240sxpaintv5.jpg

I figure some people will get a kick out of the production number for some of the rare 240sx colors. I was able to view the VIN database file with a text editor and searched how many instances of each paint code showed up for the 240sx. It might not be 100% accurate, but I'm confident these numbers are 99% accurate.

S13 Rare Colors:
Purple Gray Pearl (#LK0): 47 (31 fastbacks, 16 coupes)
Lavender Frost Metallic (#LG1): 234
Creamy Yellow Two-Tone (#5G8): 686

Only ones I've seen were a creamy yellow two-tone and a starfire blue s14. Starfire is by far one of the greatest colors I've ever seen on an schassis. The owner didn't even know what he had but I made sure to let him know to leave the paint alone. lol

[2.5T_/<ouki]

I love silver moss!

[xoxide]

I have a BN6 kouki... Its not an original though haha. That and silvermoss are both awesome colors.

[zerodameaon]

I see Deep Fushia S14s all over the place. Maybe that number is the amount of cars without that paint code.

I have been working on buying one for my buddy who is deployed and I have gone to look at 3 that are that color. I doubt they are original but it seems to be a popular repaint, bet it was done for wives and gfs and such.

[Irresistible]

Damn, I knew Starfire was rare but not 202 rare. Lol. Glad I chose to paint my S14 that color. Starfire Zenki... haahhaaha

[silverarrow27]

Damn, I knew Starfire was rare but not 202 rare. Lol. Glad I chose to paint my S14 that color. Starfire Zenki... haahhaaha

Unfortunately, yours isn't original. Originals are worth more than the typical repaint. Just like if I repainted my silver coupe to sea-foam green two tone, it ain't worth more than an original.

[Purestock240]

When I was 15 years old I built a realllly nice s13 lavender frost coupe... too bad at the time i just thought it was ugly and did a colour change to black. vin was 000507 or something

i have an original silver moss kouki

If you can get the VIN# I can look it up... #000507 is a champagne gold coupe.

I wish you would stop making these stupid threads

[Purestock240]

If you can get the VIN# I can look it up... #000507 is a champagne gold coupe.

VIN was 000509, sold in British Colombia originally i believe

before i sprayed it

and finished

My sisters racecar was also originally an LS1 Deep Fuschia car.

Please take your hate elsewhere. These threads are a prime example of usefulness, something a lot of threads do not have these days. Maybe someone has a silver moss s14 and they want to repaint it blue or something, maybe they see what Killer has posted and decide to keep it original. Neither of you have room to speak as all you have started are for sale threads.

[KiLLeR2001]

Correction has been made. Please read below.

[cchondro]

My friend has a midnight blue 13
he loves his paint, and its all messed up lol

[Purestock240]

Forgot I also cut up a lavender frost car about 4 years ago that was a total rot box. I may still have a quarter panel off it lol.

Are these numbers including Canada aswell?

[Bambi]

UPDATE! Rarest S13 color is no longer Lavender Frost!!! I'm only showing 35 instances of Midnight Blue Pearl #TH1.

Never even knew or heard of that color before. First time seeing it was in this thread. Wish there was more examples!

[KiLLeR2001]

No, USA numbers only.

edit:

Canadian database is showing 144 Lavender Frosts and 739 Midnight Blue Pearls.... 16 Deep Fuschias!!!

[zerodameaon]

I know where at TH1 is at. This one has the dark blue interior as well. The paint has deteriorated so bad it almost looks black now.

usefulness? really? can you read the title of this thread?

"Production Numbers For Rare 240sx Colors"

i can see an OEM 240sx paint thread being useful, which would work with the scenario you threw out. but this? not very useful.

You seem to not understand my scenario. Say someone has one of these cars, they think it is not rare and want to paint it pink, they happen across this thread, see it is very rare and decide to repaint it Midnight blue(the stock color) instead of pink because there are only 35 of them. Your argument is again invalid.

It is to make people who have nothing else going on with their car except its old weathered paint that nobody wanted when the car was new so Nissan only produced a limited number to still have something to feel special about.

[Wake]

Out of 30 posts there are 2 dude running their cock gobblers I would day that you guys are already unanimously overruled. While you guys are about, uh whatever the fuck you two are about, there are those of us that cherish these cars and want to see the rare ones preserved. You dont like it. Start a thread about how much you hate stupid threads. That will get you some internet fame.

Until then, kindly shut the fuck up and exit this thread.

[Wake]

It is to make people who have nothing else going on with their car except its old weathered paint that was not in high demand when the car was new to still have something to feel special about.

And jack up the price accordingly.

lol no i think its interesting to know because with a carfax you can find out if these cars are still on the road and what state they are in. those or us that collect rare s13's can then hunt them down. I know me and killer are both looking for lavender frost and me and holemilk are looking for creamy yellows. There are still some out there not owned by zilvia members, as killers 2tone proves.

This thread is actually very beneficial to the people that give a fuck. if you dont care why open your mouth?

[zerodameaon]

Just saved my buddies TH1 from getting painted another color. Once he heard about how rare it was he changed his mind. I will be getting a picture of the plate up soon Killer.

Even if we find it in some different color it does not change the fact that it is rare. They can be resprayed to oem colors.

[KiLLeR2001]

Epic!!! Respray that bad boy #TH1.

[Irresistible]

That's fantastic. Did I ever say anything about it being worth more? No. Do I give a shit? No. Just saying glad I chose a color that isn't very common. I couldn't care less about how much it's worth depending on paint, because my fresh paint to most is worth more to me than 20 year old weathered shitty paint.

[zerodameaon]

Epic!!! Respray that bad boy #TH1.

So looking at that cars history it has FED emissions but it was a dealer car out of Sacramento California, at least that is what it looks like.

[KiLLeR2001]

So looking at that cars history it has FED emissions but it was a dealer car out of Sacramento California, at least that is what it looks like.

It's possible someone ordered a Midnight Blue and they didn't have any more CAL. emissions ones left so they turned it into a CAL. emissions at the dealership. But as far as coming out of the factory from Japan it was created as a FED. emissions.

[KiLLeR2001]

Update #2: Turns out Midnight Blue Pearl not as rare as I thought. I discovered 8399 total units. 689 are coupes, the rest are hatches.

[3411]

i have seen a few midnight blue s13s all the ones i have seen have been single cams i thought all were singles

[Megin]

Wish the prev. owner didn't repaint it from KG5 to "Daytona" Blue... I'm a sad panda...

Oem FGO :)

[zerodameaon]

There is one thing TH1s still have going for them and it is the blue interior. That is pretty rare only coming on two other color packages.

[KiLLeR2001]

Blue interior can be found on all #TH1, #6G0 and #KG1. Which equals a total of 20,146 S13's with blue interior.

[crzsteveo]

dam it and I thought juniper metallic green was some what a little rare....

[feito]

And here i was planning on repainting my 98 deep fuschia a different color. According to this thread most ls1's were 97's making my 98 even rarer i guess:
http://zilvia.net/f/chat/410791-what-worth-1997-deep-fuchsia-240sx-se.html
Guess it'll be staying deep fuschia now...
Thanks for this thread

[KiLLeR2001]

Ok first and last time I'm checking a color for a specific year lol, that took awhile. But...

There are only 24 Deep Fuschia models for year 1998!!!

edit:

You guys should get together every year and talk about how rare your cars and laugh at all the non-rare 240 owners.

damn, that's crazy. My production date is 07/97 but obviously the car comes out as 98. Is it still part of those 24? Here's a picture just for giggles:

^mustang wheel cancel out rare color value

And that pretty much sums up the thread haha

[feito]

^mustang wheel cancel out rare color value




tires alone are more expensive than most replicas used nowadays haha
So i guess that cancels out the cheap wheels (with a really good size), then a few other upgrades i have but whatever.

Real wheels are among my next upgrades, that and paint, which will now actually be re-paint.

[xoxide]

Its not the fact you used cheap wheels so much as its the fact you used mustang wheels. Haha

Yes. You are a part of the 24. Any S14 produced 06/97+ is considered a '98.

[PPman]

Rare 240sx's due to a specific paint???? Sorry but I had to laugh, a rare 240sx is an unmolested, in good condition, and fully functional with good maintenance records 240sx, now that would be rare on any year, any trim. These were mass produced vehicles, they are fun and cool but faded "rare" paint does not add value, unless you are trying to sell and add more to the already high drift tax some people charge for these cars... SMH rare 240's lol

The rarity factor comes into play with what is stamped on your VIN plate, not so much the condition of the paint. Once they stamp the plate, and enter the information into the Nissan database that is what the car is. No one is saying faded paint is worth more.

[PPman]

Man I admit is nice to know more about our cars and what not, small details that otherwise we wouldn't be aware of, but to say that because the original paint is rare it adds more value to a 240 is I'm sorry to say this, retarded, yes someone implied on the first page that because his paint wasn't original his car was not as valuable as one with that color from factory which honestly is as retarded as it gets. 240's are not collectibles, to imply that a specific original factory paint adds more value to it. Good information for the community, but unfortunately some will use it to add to the rare 240sx price tag, on top of the drift tax already imposed lol

well at least we know you dont give a little care about these cars. I mean, 20 years from now, a few of us will have saved these few remaining cars from getting torn up. And when that time comes, people will be throwing offers out the window to get our cars. just saying, having a s14 that ONLY 24 were produced in that color, is pretty fuckin awesome. and probaly half of those are crushed, others probaly painted another color. so those few that were produced that are still unmolested or paint is still fresh, is worth having IMO

[Ka24Power]

I absolutely LOVE the TH1. If I ever re-paint my current HOT RED s13 I'll be going TH1.

LOL, you sure do know your cars. NOT! Hey if you're not into rare parts and car colors, etc...then that's on you. Your opinion is your opinion in what you believe, but if you do some quick searching around for cars in general...certain cars are worth more when they're a certain color and I'm not even talking about the s-chassis. I'm not talking out of my ass here, yes I agree with you that its retarded but it is what it is. Live with it.

If you're not willing to pay more for a certain color you really want, then hey go with any car you can come up on. I'm not twisting your arm to believe what I'm saying. Oh and if you DO HAVE ANY RARE PARTS on your car(s), I'd buy it for a dollar because they're not collectibles or do they add anymore value to your car or the part itself.

[240drifter1]

Ok first and last time I'm checking a color for a specific year lol, that took awhile. But...

There are only 24 Deep Fuschia models for year 1998!!!

edit:

You guys should get together every year and talk about how rare your cars and laugh at all the non-rare 240 owners.

How many in '97?

I had one, but the owner before me re-sprayed it Lexus GGP.

How many in '97?


Math fails you.

If Deep Fuschia was only offered in '97-'98, and I told you there are 105 total cars painted this color, and then I told you there are 24 cars for the '98 year. How many cars does that make for the '97 year? Hint: Subtraction. :)

Answer: 81

[crzsteveo]

Hopefully you murdered him and his family.

oh i wish. i sanded down one of the fenders and found that color and thought it was a pretty sick color. (this was my first car and i knew nothing about 240s)

so i emailed him and said, "dude you ruined this car with your shitty rattle can job"

I was just gonna ask what about the TH1! Then I read the entire thread. I just parted with mine last month! Ive only seen one other on island

great now everyone is gonna steal it. asshole.

[KiLLeR2001]

Found another rare color for the S15 called Sonic Silver (#KR4). Not to be confused with the common Pewter color (#WV2).

[KiLLeR2001]

Updated S15 info again. My VINDAT file was from 2001 so the numbers were a little off. I now have the 2009 VINDAT file.

Turns out #KH3 Super Black is quite rare for the S15, unlike the S13/S14 which had unlimited amount of this color, lol.

*EPIC DISCOVERY*

It turns out I've just discovered the rarest USDM 240sx color. The color is called Purple Gray Pearl (#LK0). It was only offered on 1991 models, came in both hatch and coupe.

Only 47 total units exist!!! (31 fastbacks, 16 coupes)

http://tehl33tsite.com/240sxdd/misc/LK0.jpg

I can't even find a 240sx with this color so I had to dig up the 180sx picture you see above. This color was probably overlooked since it can easily look like Charcoal Metallic (and the fact that's its so fucking rare.) In Japan it was offered on the 180sx '91 to '93 year models.

edit:

Only image I could find of the color on a 240sx.

[zerodameaon]

Kinda wanna paint my vert that color because its a nice mix between that Lavender Frost and my favorite S13 color of Charcoal Metallic. My vert is a AG2 and not in any way special. I wonder how hard it is to find LK0 to respray?

[EDacIouSX]

thank you for posting this information, it's pretty interesting. Could you possibly post a complete production list of each color/year? Or at least total number of cars produced for each year? I wouldn't mind a more accurate breakdown of S14s that came manual/per year/ color etc.

Something similar to this would be rad: FD3S:USDM Production Numbers (http://www.rotarywiki.com/index.php?title=FD3S:USDM_Production_Numbers)

It seems that is hard to find in more than just touch up bottles. I found two sources saying Nissan does not even supply it anymore.

usefulness? really? can you read the title of this thread?

"Production Numbers For Rare 240sx Colors"

i can see an OEM 240sx paint thread being useful, which would work with the scenario you threw out. but this? not very useful.

I love this thread. STFU.

[KiLLeR2001]

Posting every color per year would take A TON of time, especially for S13's. And it would take even more time to find out which ones were MANUAL/AUTO. All of that information is not easily available in the VINDAT file so I would have to cycle through each individual VIN number one by one and record it down.

But I did take a little time for you to record the production numbers for S14's (this is for all paint colors).

1995: 25,142 units produced.
1996: 7,355 units produced.
1997: 3,682 units produced.
1998: 2,792 units produced.

For the S13 guys I have breakdown by body style:

[zerodameaon]

Found LK0 by the gallon, contemplating buying a spray bottle of it to see how it looks in person. I have also found that it was a color option for the Micra yet it was still pretty rare.

I understand that it would be time consuming. Not sure how it works. Is there anyway for you to send me a copy of that database? Assuming it would be legal for you to do so? And that way maybe I can assemble the data/mine it etc.

There's nothing you can extract from it other than paint color, interior color and the plant at which the car was manufactured. All other information has to be looked up through FAST and that is manually entering each VIN one at a time and writing it down and then moving to the next. There's a randomized check digit in the VIN code so with each instance of a VIN you have to check 0-X values until you find a match. The unique six digit code inside the DAT file reads as a NULL value.

So the amount of VIN numbers for S13 and S14 is around 250,000 total. Multiply that by 11 for worst case scenario and you will have to enter in 2,750,000 different instances in order to find all the unique VINs.

This is an excellent thread. By finding out this info now, you are helping everyone down the road when S-chassis hit the same transition from beater drift cars to factory restoration projects like AE86's have been doing lately.
Hopefully we can save the rareties while they still exist.

[BossHogg]

I have seen a creamy yellow two tone owned by some old man. The most perfectly preserved 240 I have ever seen. He is probably original owner. I have never looked at the inside, but if he can keep the exterior this fucking mint, I'm sure the interior is perfect. I haven't seen it in a while so hopefully some bandwagoning doucher didn't offer him cash and he just said f it and took the money. But then again, I am rarely ever in my hometown anymore so he could still have it. I always wanted to make an offer, but I don't have enough storage to keep it.

[souljaseth33]

^ Where is your hometown? lol. I'd LOVE to find another original creamy yellow two tone. Mine is going to be a lot of work to save. The NorthEast wasn't too kind to mine in the past....

does anyone know if the FIRST production SE hatches came with a sunroof? I have a buddy here in the east coast, who has a 1/89 hatch and it has a motorized sunroof. its a big ass sun roof too. like almost takes up the entire roof section.

can anyone confirm this, because I have never ran into a first production model 240.

Hatchback's never had motorized sunroofs. That is most definitely an aftermarket installed sunroof.

Since you asked nicely... There are 101 Starfire Blue 1998 models, which means both '97 and '98 received the same exact amount in this color since there were only 202 total Starfire Blue produced.

22,065 Hot Red (#526) S13's were produced. So plenty of those to go around.

[KiLLeR2001]

Rarest S15 Silvia color is now officially Super White (#326). Coming at only 123 total cars produced. They didn't start producing this color on the S15 until 06/2000.

Going to be hard to find a picture of a true Super White S15 since the most common S15 color is the Pearl White #WK0.

question. i noticed on the definitive paint thread a 89 only black.

505 Thunder Black

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd121/dukeskins/240sxFIX.jpg

but then on the paint chart on the first page of this thread, its missing. that and being a one year only color i would assume it would have low production numbers. is that not the case?

[c0nc0n]

Quick question - is your VIN database for the entirety of the S-chassis production across the world or just America? I notice you had rare colours for S13, 14 and 15 for all over the world but does that apply to the rest of the list?

I have a 1998 180SX Type X (S13) with 326 colour code on my tag. Where does that put me?

[Mopagan]

found a little tidbit about convertibles

model year '92 only had three colors available (black, white, red "AG2")

cherry red AH3 wasn't produced until March of '93 and while its already the least common color, a model year 93 vert in Cherry red is extra uncommon with only 216 made.

I searched for the paint code 505, it doesn't exist. Instead I found the standard KH3 Super Black for '89 models. But it is a rare color for that year, as there seems to be more #TH1 Midnight Blue than Super Black (in 1989). I don't remember the exact numbers however.

My numbers are based on the 240sx (USA). The worldly values are based on chassis and they extend across all countries.

Is your 180sx imported from Japan? If so, your car would be reflected in the Japanese production numbers. I have not done a chart or looked at any numbers for the Japanese production (other than the S15 Silvia).

The one up north in Oregon (IIRC)?

Yeah. I'm still in contact with the seller. He had a young girl from Hawaii put a deposit on it right before I contacted him. He told me she had a certain amount of time to pay in full. Last night he emailed me and said that she was breaking too many deadlines and promises and he was ready to sell it to me. My wife and I were going to fly up and drive back...then he emails me today saying he actually has to wait for her deadline. Her Mom is helping her or something.

I understand it takes a great deal of moral character to stick to the 'first come, first served' thing but he doesn't understand that this fucking tween is going to destroy that car. At the very least it's going to rust like crazy on Hawaii.

You got a two-tone, right? That's what I'm getting in Japan. The plan for the purple car was to buy it, remove the parts from my fastback, sell my fastback, store the purple car, and take my parts to Japan for the Silvia K's.

Nah I was looking for one for a while couldn't find anything decent.. Ended up finding a 90' coupe (hot red) in good condition.

Silvia K's two tone is my dream car I was going to replicate the (purple-ish misty blue/KG2 color way it but its too hard to do with a red coupe :-/
I would feel like a poser painting it

and yep that lavender frost coupe was the one what a shame its going to a girl in HI

[Cloud_Strife]

Holy crap I got goosebumps after seeing you guys talk about that purple coupe.

As soon as I saw this thread, I saw the color code and remembered that car.

I lived in Portland, Oregon like a year ago. That thing was still for sale. If memory serves me right it's an auto and still had the 90's graphics on the driver's side.

Also funny, I used to live in Oahu (Hawaii). It costs anywhere from 1k and up to ship a car unless you are stationed there. I highly doubt they will go through with that.

That's insane both of you are talking about this car. When I would que up my searches while living there, it kept coming up and slowly I stopped saying "wow that's gay" and started thinking about buying and swapping to 5MT.

There was also a dude selling a legit Silvia Q's in two-tone teal complete RHD and import papers for like 11K in Bellingham I believe. At the time I didn't want to blow my savings but now I wish I had. The thing looked like they just drove it off the freaking lot.

Anyway, Diz I'd keep that guy's (thought it was a girl selling) number and either bug them with pics of cash or wait it out. It's going to be a big hassle for the Hawaii girl, and also a hassle for the seller.

I lived in Portland, Oregon like a year ago. That thing was still for sale. If memory serves me right it's an auto and still had the 90's graphics on the driver's side.

Also funny, I used to live in Oahu (Hawaii). It costs anywhere from 1k and up to ship a car unless you are stationed there. I highly doubt they will go through with that.

That's insane both of you are talking about this car. When I would que up my searches while living there, it kept coming up and slowly I stopped saying "wow that's gay" and started thinking about buying and swapping to 5MT.

There was also a dude selling a legit Silvia Q's in two-tone teal complete RHD and import papers for like 11K in Bellingham I believe. At the time I didn't want to blow my savings but now I wish I had. The thing looked like they just drove it off the freaking lot.

Anyway, Diz I'd keep that guy's (thought it was a girl selling) number and either bug them with pics of cash or wait it out. It's going to be a big hassle for the Hawaii girl, and also a hassle for the seller.

Wish I saw this earlier. I'm pretty sure it's gone. I never got the guy's full email. It was always through the CL email. I actually just shot him an email to make sure it's gone. I hope it went to someone that's not going to fucking ruin it.

I could still technically buy it if it IS available...but I just shelled out $4600 to be the second owner of an S13 fastback. It's the best condition I've ever seen but it isn't Lavender Frost..

[dizzariot]

Update: 'Snags in shipping' from what I've been told. I really hope this sale can't be completed...

[dizzariot]

Anyone know of any rare color cars for sale in their area? I just trolled al of CL and didn't see a thing. No two-tones worth buying, either.

The one with rod knock?


I should've specified that I'm looking for S13s only. My fault. If you car IS the one with rod knock it's only a motor swap away from being awesome.

I'm seeing 4357 unique VIN #'s attached to the #DH0 paint code for USDM S13 240sx.

[derass]

Do the numbers listed on the first page include Canadian cars? Here's my 1990 in Silver Green Pearl:

Yesssss. So good.

Just found a Cobalt Green Pearl on CL in San Franciso. Guy seemed to have a good sense of humor in his ad and he said the typical 'DON'T ASK IF THE CAR IS STILL FOR SALE. IF THIS AD IS STILL HERE THEN THE CAR IS STILL FOR SALE'.

Shot him an email.

Ad was gone in 5 minutes.

Fuck you.


If anyone has the lead on a Lavender Frost/Cobalt Green and wants to make some money then shoot me a PM. I'll pay you a handsome fee or buy yours off you for a good price.

[KiLLeR2001]

Just a forewarning, Juniper Green will have doo-doo brown interior. So think about sourcing out black interior off the bat lol. Lavender Frost of course comes with black interior. I'm also on the hunt for a Lavender Frost but it must be original 5-speed and hardtop.

I actually like the brown interior on the Juniper Green. I had a Champagne coupe with the brown interior and didn't like it but the brown/green combo is cool with me.

Dude I've even called the Nissan dealerships in Hawaii asking if they've seen a purple 240SX. I'm still so fucking bummed it was sold from underneath me. I was so fucking close.

[crzsteveo]

Dang only 4357 dho cars produced?? That's awesome lol

[jared420sx]

will paypal someone $1 to post a real LK0 s13

[Quail]

I'm still convinced "Starfire Blue" was lost in translation from "Sapphire Blue", which the colour was called over here.

Not rare, but not too common either. 4973 units produced in this color.

[DJTTon]

Does the driving mode between automatic and manual affect production colors?

[acslater9]

It's really hard to tell from the pictures but this looks like Purple Grey Pearl, LK0. I contacted him but no reply, it may be gone it may not. If anyone has any luck on contacting him let me know!

It's listed as a 1992 model which automatically rules it out for being #LK0 since that color was only offered for 1991 models. It's weird, in one pic it looks to be Misty Blue Metallic and the other pic with the rear bumper it looks like Sapphire Blue, either way if anyone can get me a VIN# I can verify it. But judging from my experience, I'd say its Misty Blue Metallic.

[hoodxrich_s13]

My vin says JN1 as well as title. It's legally registered. It is a 4 lug early model 95 hardtop? Color in door jambs looks like Blue Emerald, or Cobalt Green. The paint on it is flaking and coming off and the oem paint is showing through. Any idea what color this is?

Sorry I can't figure out how to post pictures mobile. Still newb to the forum.
:trogdor:

[hoodxrich_s13]

My interior is 90's Alcantra with a green carpet... if that helps.

[KiLLeR2001]

You are not looking at the paint code. JN1 is the first 3 characters of your VIN#.

J = Japan
N = Nissan
1 = Car

Blue Emerald paint code is #FN2, you'll find it on the plate on the firewall.

[hoodxrich_s13]

I feel stupid right now... haha

[GrantCoS13]

Definitely keep seeing one of the lighter purple s13s in Chicago. Might be a frost and it appears to be in good shape. I'm always going the opposite direction so I haven't been able to get a good luck. Also, proud owner of a 1997 Silvermoss with original factory light leather, 5 speed, ABS.

[hoodxrich_s13]

I'm going to say I have an early model, 4 lug, hardtop Zenki in Blue Emerald paint with green alcantra interior. Gotta get new bumpers and this bitch re sprayed. haha

[lunchmeat]

Bought a cobalt green, 5 spd 97 se back in 2000. Sold it in 2009. Stupidest financial decision ever. Bought a red, auto, 97 se a few months ago. Now I miss my old car. Might just paint this bitch green. Red isn't high on my list of liked colors.

Chicago? I havent seen any 240s in Chicago. Lived there for 14 years. Maybe Im in the wrong area. Having said that, Im always down to meet other 240 owners

[dreimers]

Im in the Chicaholand area. Got a blue emarald s14 original 5 speed w 88k on it

[DJTTon]

Holla man!

Hmmm... I've got a cobalt green 97. I kept it just because of all the work my dad and I put into it in college. Now that I'm considering selling it, I just don't know that I can. I look back at pictures and to me it's one of the most beautiful chassis AND colors I've ever seen.

My sister had a silver moss 97. I really liked the color at first, as it would really change and shimmer with different colors a lot with the light. But I look back at pictures of it and don't quite love the overall beige/tan look (it was all stock and fairly trashed though too, so we didn't mind selling it)

[Em1240]

Was wondering if anyone had the production numbers for a 1995 240sx with em1 (champagne gold) paint

[dizzariot]

Guys. Help me put the 1K4 thing to rest.

Japanese Classics claim that only 2,077 of these things were made. From what I understand, the basecoat is Concord Gray and when it fades over time it looks purple...kind of like the Mist Blue fades to look like a standard silver over time. Is 1K4 really listed as a purple?

[KiLLeR2001]

#1K4: Purplish Silver Two-Tone (#LH1/#463) - 2077 cars

Basecoat is called Misty Blue Metallic (#LH1) in America. It basically replaced Platinum Blue Metallic (#KG1).

[DaltonBrooks]

anyone have the info for LH1 production cars? a good friend of mine has one of the cleanest TH1 s13's ive ever seen. 57k 5 speed base model. and im currently painting my super black coupe LH1 and i was curious to find the number of these cars produced

[KiLLeR2001]

Misty Blue Metallic (#LH1): 3485

[Blake___w]

My 1989 240sx with only 87k miles in TH1 Midnight Blue Pearl, All Original Never Been Repainted

UPDATE! Rarest S13 color is no longer Lavender Frost!!! I'm only showing 35 instances of Midnight Blue Pearl #TH1.

Lavender Frost is still the best OG color IMO.

So you're not gonna ruin it...right?

[KiLLeR2001]

My 240sx TH1 Midnight Blue Pearl With Only 87k

Please see below...

Update #2: Turns out Midnight Blue Pearl not as rare as I thought. I discovered 8399 total units. 689 are coupes, 7710 are hatches.

[zerodameaon]

Please see below...

LK0 is always going to be the most rare and bestist.

[KiLLeR2001]

All the #LK0's probably died off before I even bought my first 240sx back in 2006 lol... Only color I've yet to see in person.

[Skilz10179]

Hey KiLLeR2001, any idea how many Aspen pearl white glow cars were produced in 98? And if you can break it down further, how many of those pearl white 98's were manual SE models?

[dizzariot]

For anyone aspiring to start a project...

I thought I already posted my S14 in here before but apparently I didn't haha.

95 Concord Gray S14 SE with only 60k on the clock when I bought it. All original, 5 speed, and I'm the third owner. Found it in Florida and drove it home to PA. Unfortunately it's been repainted but it's still an LN1 car.

^very nice zenki

[sXe240]

Maybe it's just me but that cobalt green looks awesome. I have seen a few koukis in that color in person and it looks great.

[psw3081]

math fails you.

If deep fuschia was only offered in '97-'98, and i told you there are 105 total cars painted this color, and then i told you there are 24 cars for the '98 year. How many cars does that make for the '97 year? Hint: Subtraction. :)

answer: 81 lmfao!!

Lmfao!!!

[psw3081]

Killer2001... Just wanted to say thank you. Great info.... Some of these guys just don't get it. Or their just hating on the fact that they don't own a low production 240. Yes 100% having a rare color car makes it worth so much more money. Granted we dont have a 1969 Camaro "rare color" or a low production "color" Cuda. But anyone that has watched, say Barrett-Jackson knows. That's one thing the auctioneer is quick to add. Rare color or color combo. Our cars ARE becoming collectible. Specially a all original RARE color even just a clean unmolested 240 is worth hanging on to. Your thread is great and hopefully opened up some owners eyes to.what they have. Stop selling them so cheap guys.
Anyhow, I own 2 S14's one 95 super clean ( highly modded Ka24deT ) wanna be Kouki. An a 1998 Silver moss all original Kouki. I've been searching to see just how rare my 98 is. That's when I saw your thread.
On your 1st post with the PDF from Nissan. It show the 97-98 Silver moss. It only shows 2 options for interior. My 98 has Blk leather and that was not on there. I was wondering if I shot you a PM, maybe you would be willing to help me sort through my vin?
Anyhow, thanks again for the info you posted, the laughs I got when you flamed the tool bag trolls (haters) thru out this thread.. I needed a good laugh..
Thanks again.

[dizzariot]

The problem is kids repainting cars. I talked to a kid last year that had not one, but two cars in Lavender Frost. One was repainted with a 1JZ and the other he was going to keep as a daily but ended up selling before I could get a friend to buy it. Nice dude, but he just didn't know or didn't care.
