You must be joking. I live in LA and I don't think I can count how many in the last 3 years, and theres only been more and more. But it would depend on the definition of clean and 'hooked up'.

i've seen quite a lot, but not as much as i expect. There's a s13 hatchback with hubcap spinners around my block though.

Well as far as silvia's I have only seen the one that i own. I have seen a 180SX because its a friend of mine's.

Now for 240's well i have one. I have seen a few out here but not many that are fast and furious cool hahaha.

Most of us dont want a car to flashy.

are you kidding me? what part of LA do you live in? ive seen PLENTY of s13s with front end conversions and have heard plenty of BOV from stock looking s13s. thats in LA only. dont even get me started on SD. too many to count.

Hey SilBeer, your chino cops suck! I had a gun pointed at me a couple of times for drifting, but not gettiin caught. Asses.

in pomona, i've only seen about 10 good modded ones, and those are the guys i hang out with. The other 240s in town are owned by mexicans, that throw on neons, hubcap spinners, racing lines, and Powered by Mexico, etc etc. Makes me wanna go up to them and buy their cars.

Damn, and I just got a powered by mexican sticker for my car. I thought that shit was tight. I was gonna give a sticker like that with my diffs. :)

maverick27
06-06-2005, 03:56 AM
yeah tahts hilarious we get to see that a lot around our pomona area. for the most part though its s13s taht are getting played out though. most people ricers wont buy a s14 zenki let a lone a kouki.

chlatboy
06-06-2005, 04:13 AM
+ 1 for the kouki's!!!

revat619
06-06-2005, 05:28 AM
^^^ :werd:

make that + 2! :D

in SD, there's a few nice s14s, but i'd definitely have to agree with maverick27 in that most of these new fanboys are buying s13s. Ricey s13's and unpainted silvia fronts are pretty commonplace down here. I know a lot of cool s13s guys though. It just sucks how they're vastly out numbered by a bunch of morons.

in my city and surrounding areas, there is only 1 other 240 (s13 coupe) and all it has is a bunch of stickers and a canadian tire fart tube and its automatic!! :keke:

Project D
06-06-2005, 10:13 AM
I would say that there are two others now here in Western Colorado. Th sickest of the bunch ( Real S13 Coupe) got t-boned by a drunk driver. Other are a hatch with an SR20DET and Tein coil-overs. Other is an S14 that looks great, but is still rockin' a KA with 200K on it.

i have only seen 1...and this guy has a 98 and did a full skyline conversion..i need to get ahold of him to take some pictures of it cuz i heard its really clean...other than that....i see alot of old people driving 240s..alot of them

nismo skyline
06-06-2005, 11:17 AM
i see 240s all the time, but most of them are stock. so far i've seen about 3 clean s13s on the road and maybe 1 or 2 clean s14s. by clean i mean one color paintjob, wheels, suspension work, engine work, and body work.

Ive seen a slight few on the streets around here, there is a nice yellow s14.5 (prolly one of the first to do the front end swap before it blew up 2-3 years ago) on my street tho ive never been able to acknowledge the guy (always drives passed but never looks at me).

When I usually see a 240 that looks like the driver is an enthusiest, I usually flash a peace sign at em or something.

06-06-2005, 12:48 PM
in my area there are 4 and i know them all

06-06-2005, 12:51 PM
1 or 2 other than mine and none of them tastfully modded, its all riced out bs kits except for one other person

hkspeed
06-06-2005, 01:50 PM
I see more unpainted (mismatched body panels) ghetto looking s13's than nice ones. It seems most people who have a sr powered, silvia front, unicolor S13 dont drive it daily or limit where they drive (because of knowledgable cops).

ALTRNTV
06-06-2005, 02:11 PM
In my city, there's around 10 modded 240's, and about 3 of them have some sort of conversion. I know all of them except this one Silvia conversion coupe.

I've also seen that car around town, mostly by UCR. He was also the first s15 front I saw, hell even the first s14.

As far as modded 240's, I see them all over. S13's have gotten pretty common and seems everyone is buying one up. I've also seen a big increase in S14's over the past year.

dannyboi
06-06-2005, 06:49 PM
I've seen probably only 10 or 11 modded 240's around Chicago.

I've seen only 1 sil-80, a bunch of hatches, some nice S14s, and a S15 (bone stock...yea I know its not a 240... sue me).

ranisron
06-06-2005, 07:00 PM
1 Black S14 KA-T, knew him back in 2003.
1 240sx FB turbo... never got a chance to talk to the driver...
1 Red S14 - fat wheels, but only saw it once...
and couple more random beat up S13...

06-06-2005, 07:33 PM
i also talked to a couple of guys here in anaheim who imported cars so they had 1 skyline r33, s15 and 2 180sx at residence, not shop. they're all gone now.

06-06-2005, 07:49 PM
I am in central ill. and there are only a handfull around with shit actually done to them. But i just took my car up to Drift Avenue in chicago and they had 3 s13's and 7 s14's that they were working on that had hella shit on them.

aznpoopy
06-06-2005, 08:35 PM

I drive from Riverside County to Ventura County almost once or twice a week depending on the week. In riverside I have seen 2 modded s14s 3 or 4 modded s13s one with front-end conversion and kat. On my drive out to Ventura County I'm likely to see at least one modded 240 s13 s14 alike. In Ventura county I have seen a number of modded 240s more than I can recall, I know of two nice s14s and 1 really nice s13 and countless slightly modded s13s. That’s now, when I bought my 240 6 years ago I could make my same trip everyday for a week and not see one single modded 240. So, blown up it has my friend.

mmdb
06-06-2005, 10:37 PM
prolly 2 s14's within 2 weeks and 3-4 s13's (semi fixed up) within the same time frame.

everytime I see a s14 in my area it's always someone in thier 30's driving it. I ocassionally see some modded s13's out in torrance, but that's about it.

CO S13
06-07-2005, 08:37 AM
I live very close to 3 sr powered s13s and there is 1 KAT not too far away, but other then that as far as I know they aren't too modded or rice.

exitspeed
06-07-2005, 08:46 AM
I can't count the S13's. I probably see at least 1 or 2 a day depending how much I drive around.

S14's though I can tell you almost all the ones I''ve seen. And Kouki S14's, HA, I've seen 3 since I've had my 240(3years).

And this is in Milwaukee,WI with a population of 596974.

Mine is the only one around these parts. i dont count the other two that have fart cans. about 30 min to the north of me there are a couple with sr-swaps and one with rb-swap

zenkiDori
06-15-2005, 11:40 AM
shit tons. but not as many as i saw in LA. i guess according to SEMA the 240 is now the most popular import car to modify, passing up the civic.

bdeisle
06-15-2005, 11:44 AM
here in baltimore.. the ONLY ones i see are the from the guys i hang out with on a norm. other then that the ones i see are stock or have an exhaust with no motor but as in the last 3 yrs with my civic or my 240 i never caught one on the street to race, though down at the ocean this year (ocean city, md) had a few gay ones down there always asking me if "i have a sr20" in there and then give me a look of dissappointment when i tell them i have a ka. alot of real homo people out there. though i never run into any sexy 240's around my area or at car meets, which is a plus, brings more attention my way.

06-15-2005, 04:49 PM
i've only seen 1 that is a white 240sx with a rb25det motor swap other than that there all stock

06-15-2005, 05:39 PM
Well I see a bunch of RPS13's (180SX) and they are almost all modded, excpet for the N/A or Automatic ones. I dont know anyone with an N/A or Auto 180SX that has mods..

Al_S14
06-15-2005, 05:50 PM
I see so few 240s that are tastefully moded it is just sad .... well i don't pay any attention to s13s with old farts behind the wheel or car taht has more collors then damn christmas tree,but there is only one clean black Kouki like mine with minor extirior mods. Even that car i saw on opposite side of the freeway i64. Then there is two or three zenkis that i see every few months that have very little external modifications ..... And two SR20 S13's with front end conversions. One of which i only saw once nearly half year ago and other just few weeks back.

06-15-2005, 07:09 PM

My cars only lowered and has different wheels. Thats it. anyone in the Sb area that wants to show me some good ol Nissans is more than welcome. In fact, please do.

Around here (Omaha, Ne). Theres a lot of s13s that i never see but i hear of them on my local forums. Theres 3 with sr's. Theres one with a rb25 that has suspension, lsd, z32 brakes some nice wheels. One with a rb20 that i've actually seen.

Theres 3 s14s that i know that have a ka-t and its build but its running the greddy turbo kit so its not so great and 2 sr'ed. Yet i dont see them at all only when i go to this shop down my street. A lot of people here hate on drifting for some reason they cant respect it... damn rednecks; so its usally more about power than suspension and shit on these cars.

The rest i see are just daily drivers that are about to break in half with all the rust. I havent seen any riced out 240sx in my life. Everyone around here that knows what the difference between s13 and s14 is pretty informed when buying something for their car so their rims usally aint honda offset wheels... well sometimes but with -20 spacers... oh yeah.

4 in Grand Junction? Man, I have yet to see any SR'd S13's but I have seen a very clean S14 Kouki running around KA-T... could be SR. I have heard of a few guys runnin' SR'd hatches out of Parker, CO. As far as I'm know I'm the first out of the east Denver/Aurora area although mine look likes a total beater with nice rims....
I've got the "House O Shame" non-OEM match blue.. complete with custom out of the can textures. strategically placed aerodynamic door dents, Zip-tied front bumper that flaps in the wind to create perfect downforce, and customized bent fender for added sexiness courtesy of Joel "T-Bone" Stevens... as the nickname states he specializes in 5mphIDon'tKnowHowToUseMyBrakesSoI'llJustT-BoneYour240SXForShitsAndGiggles custom body work. All this and the only thing that says I have goodies is the new set of Konig Reasons I got from DiscountTire company because they torqued my bolts too tight and I had to risk utter humiliation when my wheel fell off at a stop light.... but damn is it stupid fast! :yum:

Besides meets and events I have only seen one modded 240 within maybe 10 miles of my house and it was a clean red S14. Besides that there are a couple of S13's but they are all owned by old ladies.

phreze
01-28-2006, 08:43 PM
I have seen mostly stock s13 coupes, hatchs, and a vert or two. Also seen some stock s14 zenki and kouki. A kid I met at school has a 1998 s14 with 5 lug conversion, ehaust and rims, planing on doing engine swap.

Most of the hooked-up cars I see are owned by touge factory but there is also a green 240 that was at forumla d that lives 2 blocks away from me.
