240sx one day?

[Sinmaster909]

Just want to hear some storys on how people have gotten their 240's. I myself think I will never own one since they're expensive for my budget and all these bills I have will stop me from owning one. Currently a broke college student with a shitty job. All my money mainly goes to rent and gas on my car. I don't think i'm graduating soon since I'm not a full time student. Its my dream to own one. Have always wanted one since i was maybe 12 years old. In any video game I always get a 240sx lol. I currently own a 94 Buick Regal Custom great car but its another hassle to fill up the gas tank on it but i got it for $500 so I can't complain. I consider a 240sx an exotic car just by the way it looks and how they're so brilliantly open to be worked on.I just want to hear hows the experience of owning one and how did you come across it? Maybe one day but not in a long while.

I used to drive a Camaro when I was 16. I modified the hell out of it.

The hood was always open. I went from naturally aspirated, to super charged, to turbo charged. And then one day I met Finn, my friend who worked with me at Best Buy at the time, around 2001.

Finn had this red 4-cylinder vehicle, and I was not impressed with 4-cylinders. He would tell me about it and I would just shrug him off and ask him where is the rest of his engine? Then one day he came into work raving about some kind of "swap" and drags me to his car to see. Unwillingly, I go for a ride.

And my life changed right then and there. "This car must have 400 horsepower!" I exclaim madly with excitement, and he just laughs, "It only has about 250 horsepower..." and I do not believe him at first. Finn taught me a lesson in power:weight ratio that day "it only weighs 2800lbs... less weight improves everything: braking, handling, acceleration, fuel economy" within a week I had sold both my Camaros, all my V8 parts, and had done my first SR swap, never looking back.

[wheresmycoupe]

Not sure if trying to troll or not.

I found mine on craigslist For 1500. It was a swapped dual cam that has since been sr for 3 years now I'm in the middle of parting the sr swap for bigger and better.

Best/most fun car I've owned.

Since your already stacking up the student loans apply for a couple grand more and when you get the refund check/if you get a refund check buy a 240. That's how I bought my wheels ����

[Sinmaster909]

You're lucky to have a friend named finn lol. First time i got in one was with my friend named Eddie and it was the coolest experience ever. Then my brother owned one but then his tranny went out. I wanted him to keep it so he can sell it to me later on but he had to sell it since he was moving. Saddens me that could've been my 240sx. Also in no way I'm trolling. Also i get financial aid for college not loans lol.

[Sinmaster909]

Nice Camaro by the way.

[Primo's Silvia]

It all started with a buddy telling me to by an S13, and i wasnt intristed in them at the time, then layed my eyes on a s14 kouki and since then going 3 years, i have 3 240's in front of my house lol part time no school just time, im loving it but it holds u back when u spend all wat u have to make your hobby that much better! Dont worry thiers always time for anything! Just got to put your mind to it!

[Sinmaster909]

Thanks man like i said one day i will own one lol. In due time. Also thats what i want to do in the future. Have one for daily driver. One to beat up on the track lol.

[angel mkiv]

Mine was a decision I made around 14 or so..made a huge power point slide show on what I wanted to do to it and then at 15 I started working while goin to school.slowly saving up I got two for 1100 back in 08' and sold one for 400 since It was wrecked(just used it for parts) and then my 240 sat for years as I slowly completed a sr20 swap and goin to college.once I finished that and got a good job my car has gone over a massive rebuild/makeover..about 30k later it still doesn't run and is a complete money pit that sits in my garage..but hey it's what makes me happy and that's all that matters haha.dont worry man one day you will have a exotic nissan 240sx.!

[Aspire818]

Mine was back when i was in highschool , my close friend rolled up tellin me he got a s13. I didnt think much of it because i was into civic n integras lol, he didnt know how to drive stick shift. Hes dad brought it when he bought it and he gave me the keys told me to test drive it. So as soon as i steped into the car i headed to the freeway n damn i fell in love with the car. I loved how it handles n pulls and my friend started tellin me about theres so much pontential on these cars. So i did my reserch n found lots of info on the 240sx. So i left the honda scene.sold my em1 si bought my self a em2 civic for transportation n reliability.i took out my first loan for $1500 hopeing ill find a s13 that met my standards and i did a 93 hatch 5 speed. Body looked like shit bt price was great to me n it was healthy so i cant complain lol i had plans for my s13 but sadly i fell in love with the s14 kouki. As soon as i paid for my loan i sold my s13 got 2gs more and bought my kouki s14 and eversince ive been workin on it Little by little.

[ixfxi]

a 240sx is a very inexpensive car


unless being homeless is in your near and immediate future, i wouldnt worry. owning a 240sx is really not that hard.

the question you'll be asking yourself later (if and when you buy one) - is - why the fuck did i buy this piece of shit? especially since parts will most likely not be available for it.

[OBEEWON]

Let me tell you a story about My Skyline.

One day I woke up and said to myself "Hey, I'm going to be a baller from now on."
So I procured My Skyline.

My Skyline is a special Skyline.
There is no Skyline like mine.

[JrDarknes]

I was 17 and worked my ass off in the summer to get my first 240 before my senior year started. It had primer and was rebuilt and got it for 1700 dollars. It was awesome, I loved it to death but unfortunately as I was heading to school I got hit by a semi-truck and was lucky to survive.



I was destined to get another 240 and I did not care how beat up it was I was going to fix it up and dedicate my whole senior year to fixing it up. I got me another one for 900 dollars which was is a huge money pit but I have no regrets loll. You can see the difference in the Before and After Thread (http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=566316), im the first post.

[Mr.Doback]

Now this is story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there, I'll tell you how I became the owner of a 240 in a town called Bel-Air. In west Philadelphia, born and raised; on a playground is where I spent most of my days. Chillin out, maxin, relaxin' all cool and all shootin some b-ball outside the school when a couple of guys they were up to no good, startin makin trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and mom got scared she said, "you're movin with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air." "I begged and pleaded with her the other day, but she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way. She gave me a kissin' and gave me my ticket, I put on my walkman and said "I might as well kick it".

First class yo this is bad, drinkin orange juice out of a champagne glass... Is this what the people of Bel-Air are livin like? Hmmm this might be alright! I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said FRESH and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say this cab was rare but I thought "Nah forget it... Yo homes to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cab "Yo Homes Smell ya lata!" I looked at my kingdom I was finally there to sit in my 240 as the Prince of Bel-Air."

[OBEEWON]

The lost verse!

No one ever knows it.

[KendallH]

I got my 240(s) during a period of apparent mental illness.

[turbos14]

Expensive not really there is a 97 kouki with less then 150k for 6500 by me and one guy was giving a s13 shell away was even willing to flat bed it to the buyer.

I got my 96 for 6000 back in 2005 after my 91 Integra was smashed by some as hole. I've maybe put in 3k in it over the 9 years but things break or wear out so that number slowly grows. It's currently at 160k miles and I've put 30k myself been in two accidents minor things one motor swap after blowing the original up. But she's been there by my side through thick and thin lol.

not sure how you would consider a stock S13 hatch an exotic car just by the way it looks...

[Chaluska]

Looks exactly like a stock S13 to me.

[v30magna]

That saleen actually looks much more like my MX6 than my s13, but I get it.

went to the local junk yard to see what he had, looked at a 72 camaro, no floor pans... Got my heart set on a datsun 240, but he didn't have a title and the car had no glass. He had a 92 s13 auto sitting on the ground with no wheels that I totally paid no attention to, until he said he had a title. I was really pumped about the datsun, so I took a second look at the s13. pretty much all there, good glass, and all the rust was on the deck lid. Had the fastback musclecar lines, so I was hooked. How much? $500. Of course he also had a 91 Mazda RX7 vert with leather interior I was crushing on too, but I knew the aftermarket is better for the s13.

I'm about $1700 into the s13 now, but I got it running, everything working, all damaged panels replaced, bought a 5 speed swap with 13lb flywheel, bought a set of tien s with kybs, got a set of factory 7 spoke 15s on good tires,new oil, belts, brakes, injectors, adj FPR, fuel pump, etc. I want a Helical diff now, and a welded for beating on. Also very interested in a v8 swap next year.

[zurud]

S13 exotic? I'll sell you my s13 for $10k. That's pretty good deal for exotic

[shihabby]

Come on, just save $100 a month and you'll have enough for a decent one in less than 3 years. Or $200 and it'd be like a year and a half.

[goodfella]

I traded my gsxr 600 for a Nissan 240 vert. it's a cool car fun to drive but the stock ka is pretty slow. but first thing first gotta build up the suspension and steering on it then do an engine swap or Turbo. 77769

[vanish1]

240s bc its fun having lots of dongs jock your car all the while explaining to women that it looks like an old azz altima but isnt one.

Vanish, M3 looks like a 96 Mazda 626. Usually reserved for LPGA patrons. Is it white? PLEASE tell me it's white!

However the 320i is great for pulling Post-Menopausal chicks. You can go raw with no pregnancies, Jackpot!

daily driving a 240sx over the age of 30.

[v30magna]

I use my dong to impress women, not my car.

I don't even drive my s13, not finished, no tags.

then again nothing says success like a 15 year old M3. I'm sure everyone in Florida thinks you're loaded. Please pass the Grey Poupon.

[vanish1]

lololol you live in alabama?, over 30, and your s13 doesnt run.

def winning.

[v30magna]

I live in North Carolina, and my 240 does run. Much like your fool mind, it's just one of my tinker toys with no other use than to occupy my free time.

I wouldn't bother clowning you if you weren't on the Nissan forums picking on young kids for wanting Nissans. (which makes it obvious you are a weird looser)

Do they pick on you for having crappy old cars in the BMW forums? Is that why you come here?

The guy who delivers my pizza drives a 2001 z3. So if your job is anything above the public service industry, By your own standards you are a failure.

Loloololol you live in a town w/ a population of 500? Not really sure advice is what you should be giving out considering the place you live has fewer people living there than the condo down the street from me.

you joined zilvia two months ago, I joined here in 2005 @ 19 yo when I got my s14, followed by a s13 few years later, followed by a few accords, and then my bmws.

I live in Miami, poon capital of the USA, this is where all the pr0n you look at is filmed.

not really quite sure where I pick on the OP for wanting a 240sx, I made a generalized statement which is true.

im sorry you got butthurt by the truth and you lashed out at what I drive, it will all work out for you eventually.

[ixfxi]

Uhm... ever heard of the San Fernando Valley?

[v30magna]

wow, you googled my hometown, that's sweet!

I actually frequent Greenville NC, google me that stalker

So I joined the forum 2 months ago and you think that's all the experience I got, like I never saw a wrench until I joined Zilvia.

Now you're telling me about all the crappy cars you ever had, and how there's a condo down the street from you and that you guys like to make pornos? WTF?

What if I was making a true general statement too? A mirror is never as kind as the sunshine of ones ego.



"Lol you live in Florida and you bang old ladies in your mom's 320i"

I'm down. No need though.

This guy is dumb as a bag of d*cks. He has no idea what he is talking about.

Basically doing my job for me. I'm a salesman. I talk sh#t for a living.

I think he needs to google more stuff.

It's so funny when people take the time to google stuff, but they are still wrong.

There is this dude at my job, he is one of those cats that pride himself in knowing everything. At lunch random questions about sports, movies, or chemical equations come up. He puts his phone under the table and googles stuff on the sly and then casually inserts it into convo as if he knew it all along. The only snag in his otherwise brilliant plan is he has a slow behind blackberry with a tiny screen and we can all see him squinting to read it.

[LockOn!]

Bro, just stay in school and worry about 240's after you get a real job.

This is the answer. Kids that don't are the ones that produce bullshit like this:

All because they want to be kewl on their instagrahmzzz but are to fucking broke to modify a car.

Stay in school, acquire currency, waste it all on pointless shit. :snoop:

[shihabby]

I have a feeling we're going to be having this exact same thread about 5 years from now only about Skylines instead of 240s :coolugh:

brazzers, bangbros, realitykings, all of that is filmed in sfl, cali iirc is no.1 sfl not too far behind.


v30magna its fun watching you defer everything I retorted about, its a sign that you do not have anything of actual substance to respond with.

if youre not going to be honest about where you live because you find it embarrassing thats ok, its a bad habit to take your personal problems out on other people.

[v30magna]

I find the statement I made previously, ( "you are dumb as a bag of d--ks" ) very substantial, perhaps the most important issue we should address here. Since you seem to like listing your accomplishments, and you didn't answer back with your GED results, I will have to assume you ARE dumb as a bag of dongs, until you prove otherwise.

I defer your statements because they are wrong, and just a bunch of stuff you googled anyway.

What, am I supposed to tell you about all the crappy cars I've ever owned and describe what kind of derelict activity other people in my area participate in? I don't brag to strangers about my accomplishments or my sins, it's not smart, and no one cares. I'm sure nothing we do here would impress you as much as "brazzers, bangbros, reality kings, etc" anyway. You love you some Florida porn. How 'bout that Meth? Lol.

And I like my hometown. That's why it's in my info. What effect does it have on me if some porn watching, meth smokin, old lady banger thinks that a 500 person township is somehow amusing. I drive there in a car, and I leave there in a car. Paved roads do exist outside of Methville, Florida jerkoff
