Lol thanks for the reminder....time sure does fly

91sil80 · 12-08-2011, 11:10 AM

i didnt even know what the car was when i got mine, i bought it off my stepdad who got it new. it only had around 30k miles.......makes me sad but i was 16 so i made it look all stupid with body kits and shit. you know early 2000s 240 stuff. the only place i ever saw sr20s were in magazines and they were the big ticket shit then.

Zenki_516 · 12-08-2011, 11:14 AM

Bought my first when I was 16 for $1000. I'm 23 and on my 4th one now. Still broke too.

zspeedrft · 12-08-2011, 11:15 AM

i remember calling jspec for a silvia front end...guy told me 1800 used!

91sil80 · 12-08-2011, 11:31 AM

lol, yea it was hard as shit to get parts back then, all they had when i started were intakes and exhausts. everything else was so expensive no one could afford it

Arsenal240sx · 12-08-2011, 01:33 PM

The s13 coupe Im working on now was the first 240 Ive ever driven and that was back in like 96 Lol Belonged to my brother back then and he just gave it to me. Most of my cars have been a Nissan. The one Toyota I had was a POS 86.5 MKIII Supra and since then I havnt strayed from Nissans. My S13 is 23 years old and Im 32. Yeah were old...

mxracerjason · 12-08-2011, 01:50 PM

I was fresh out of high school when the S13's first hit the dealerships and they sold like hot cakes. I did'nt really pay much attension to them at the time cause I was too in love with my 2dr 510 and I really wanted a Pathfinder. Got my first S13 in 2003 right before the first Fast & Furious.

lflkajfj12123 · 12-08-2011, 01:54 PM

fast and the furious came out in 2001

GSXRJJordan · 12-08-2011, 02:09 PM

I got into the game in 2005, came to Zilvia and got involved in Formula D in 2006, been here ever since. If the population is aging/maturing, I haven't noticed lol.

Don't I know it. I had a MK3 Jetta at the time and thought it was rad.

kalypso123 · 12-08-2011, 02:00 PM

28 is not old... its just means you dont work out.

mxracerjason · 12-08-2011, 02:03 PM

Woops, maybe it was after the 2nd F&F the the 240 scene blew up

whiterps13 · 12-08-2011, 02:07 PM

sil80owner · 12-08-2011, 02:12 PM

91sil80 · 12-08-2011, 02:12 PM

I did'nt like the way fnf influenced builds either

***dorkidori_s13*** · 12-08-2011, 02:15 PM

got my first 240 back in 02 (i was 19), first SR in 03 (had the motor for 7 years)....im turning 30 in january and im 240 #5 (not by choice, didnt want to get rid of #4, but being 20 grand made me sell the car)...slowly restoring #5 to a clean daily driver

i go out to drift events every now and then here in vegas and feel like the old geezer out...all the people driving are like early 20s

oh yeah, and since when did american V8s become the "cool" thing to swap into a S chassis? do all these younger guys just not appreciate BUILDING a motor anymore?

You should'nt feel like a geezer, you're only as old as you live. I race motocross and that is an all ages sport from 3yrs old to 70+. Ryan Villapoto's grand father still races at 70 something any everone loves it and cheers him on. So just keep doin what you enjoy no matter how old you are.

I see youngsters everywhere in the scene. They just don't post in threads like these. Check the stanced photo/ drift missle or drifting threads.

It is comforting to know a mature majority owns them now. I assume we'll make better decisions in terms of clean mods and no more garbage.
This is probably also why you see some good $$ in builds now. We're all doing better financially as a whole lol.

tricky_ab · 12-08-2011, 03:38 PM

I've always liked 240's since my friend's older brother would show me these "option" VHS tapes of cars driving around tracks and mountain passes, when I was in Grade school (GR 7-8). I had a S14 for a few years out of high school then sold it.

That being said, I'll always be tinkering with cars till I'm old and grey. It just might not be a 240...

Thank god!

Tom25666 · 12-08-2011, 03:28 PM

ive had the same hatch for 9 years now, sr for 3. i will certainly shed a tear the day we must part.

z32ttvert · 12-08-2011, 03:47 PM

As long as you can't differentiate between we're and were, no one on the internet will think you are old.

sterlinge · 12-08-2011, 05:26 PM

Had mine for a little under 3 years. Im 22 now and have 2 40s
