I wanted a 240 or a Pathfinder for about 1 year before I got my 240.  I got stuck with an automatic though because I had 1 day to get a car after my Sentra was totalled.  I wanted a coupe and got a coupe, but the auto part sucked, so, I want to convert it to a manual.  I still want a pathfinder though, for off-roading.

this is a good post
i got my car at 88,000 miles and now its at 103,000 and i still love it, but i wish it was backa t 88,000 since it was faster {i need to take my tranny out and work on it, and replace parts,} funny, i used to be able to peal like nothin and now i couldnt peal out if you paid me to.

anyway, i love the design of the car even more than the 300z, its simple and many designs can come from it. plus its well built and light with big wheel wells. these are the main reasons i bought this car. I wouldnt buy any other car except another 240 to drive as a daily driver after i mod this one up . Oh yeah its an s13!!!!!!!

Oh, I wanted mine so bad that I drove 80 miles to get it, I even lost $2000 on my trade in, but who could pass up on a pristine '98 240SX SE 5spd?

And as for Nissan overall, I sold my 1st car to get an '89 Nissan Pulsar NX with t-tops, I still have that car in Venezuela, where my dad owns a '90 Maxima (which I made him buy instead of a Chevy Lumina), when I moved to the states the first thing I did was buy a '91 240SX, which I totalled <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>.

So, YES, Nissan for me please! :biggrin:

Ok, I go way back with Nissan's . Giving away my age here <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> I don't look it either:D. Ah, but I am getting off topic here. Started with a Datsun 510 , 69 two door ,lowered with ST springs koni shocks,pumped L16 with L18 head (larger valve's ) Delong Cam (may Jon Delong rest in peace) 240z flat top 9.5 pistons., sidedraft weber. Moog camberplates . Ok , Ok . After that got into 240z's bought and sold them and modified them . Also had my own Japanese engine and transmission business . Was an active member of United Five Ten Organization. Even wrote an engine article for Rex Jennett for the Newsletter. Ok enough history. In 1989 I drove my then 71 setup 240z up to San Mateo Nissan. Went In and asked to test drive the brand New 240sx . To put it mildly I was blown away at how the car handled stock.
Needless to say. I wound up getting a 90 Hardbody truck. Hey I needed it at the time. Fast forward, 1999 Move to Southern California, L.A. to be exact. No more natural air conditioning . Need something with air. Has to be rear wheel drive. I know <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> 89 240sx . Fast Forward again . Just bought a 91 fastback with 19,000 miles on it!! Yes thats true . It had been hit in the front and parked . Its Black its cool and Its going to be the bomb, when I am done with the planned mods . Its also very much a keeper( is that a real word??) &nbsp; anyways take care and yes its the car I wanted.

dang man, 19,000 miles on a 91, that's just crazy, i don't think u'd be able to find one like that nemore. i think i'm gonna keep my 240 for life, this one at least, i really wanna get a 91-93 h/b down the road w/ my 96 coupe. hopefully it will all work out. there's just something about these cars that draw me to them....

I've been in nissans for a long time now. &nbsp;My first car was a 92 sentra, &nbsp;I beat that car to #### and back and then some(170K). &nbsp;Well in late 2000 the ins company totaled it out when some idiot blew a stopsign and i tboned her( only broke my bumper.) &nbsp;A few months before that i decided to get another nissan because I wanted something reliable. &nbsp;So I bought a used 99 altima with 8K miles. &nbsp;I really wanted a 1997-98 240sx but couldnt afford it at the time unless it had high miles so I settled on the altima. &nbsp;Well now I'm in grad school and just bought a 1996 240sx with 21700 on it and am selling the altima. &nbsp;I'm just impressed by nissan's quality, reliability, and their overall stying and performance. &nbsp;So its safe to say nissans are my first choice

yeah, i'm gonna be w/ nissan for a while....at least if they keep doing what i like about them so far. even if i did get a subaru or toyota, i'd still have a 240sx or some other nissan.
