My uncle was a dealer, and when he would come visit my family he would always drive a different car, mostly Merc, BMW etc. One weekend he drove a S13 coupe, and I sat in the drivers seat...and wanted it. This was lik '90.
A few years later in 95 I saw the S14 on the street. Brand new...and I changed my mind. From then I wanted my first car to be a S14. I didnt get one as my first car but in 04 I was able to trade my pretty much built from inside out car for a stock 95 with chopped springs plus cash. My friends thought I was crazy, my brother threatened not to talk to me. Technically the 2nd owner since the guy I got it from never registered. He only had it for a week. '04 doing my first SR swap. more pics when I get home... |

whats funny is his site is still up... I just never got around to buying a 240, but have been reading up on them and sr swaps for years, gave up the dream after I gave my balls up and got married. Luckily I won them back in the divorce settlement and I have my BANDWAGON cars now. go me.

im far from nostalgic but i think can claim im not a bandwagon jumper. my uncle had a s14 in 96 and a fixed up s13 with cut springs and my dad had a datsun 610 so i pretty much followed in their footsteps..
i got my 98 s14 in 02 with 40k miles im second owner 1st owner was a lessee. i didnt have a good camera then so i dont have stock pics of the car. i wish i did though. before that i had a 89 s13, it over heated so i rebuilt the motor and sold it for $1200. i didnt bother taking pics of this car. it had a full xenon nissan lip kit and wing that i trashed and then i put a chuki front. when i started fixing up the car i got most of my parts from magic garage in long beach, tech III in paramount, and when i could afford it jspec sam.. |

One of the first sr20det's i've ever seen on the streets back in the day. I think your car got fucked up a little after 2000, maybe 01 or 02.

Circa....02? At the time I had Tein Flex coilovers, Cusco front and rear strut bars, S14 seats + belts, I thought I was SO cool This was probably the happiest I've ever been with my cars...just pure innocent fan boy days This was AFTER I got spacers lol I used to have Watanabe RS8 16x7+38 / 16x8+38, and I though it was FLUSH! Then I added 30mm spacers front & 25mm spacer rear and it was decent haha Some event at Streets of Willow...when Enkei mesh was the hot shit, and you rocked 15's and 16's....17 inch? No way, 17's were too big man! LOL Oh, here's old school pic of Dousan mobile #1: Old school pic of Danny Pink Godzira mobile: Those two pics were from I think 240sx meet in Mile Square Park...2003? I forget Another embarassing pic Danny took of me from old Just Drift event Rockin the DRIFT MULLET (REVERSE) Business in the front, PARTY in the back! Haha 17/15 stagger...these days I wouldn't be caught DEAD lookin like that

I wanted a 240 (coupe not a hatch) since around the same time I got into rx7's (like 2002-2003). I always had fc's so I never really had the chance to mess with an s13. It wasn't til last year that I actually owned an s13, and now I'm on #2 and #3. I have my dream coupe awaiting it's build so I'm very happy with that. I've watched initial d later on now, but I don't care for drifting nor the F&F movies, those had never swayed me into buying my s-chassis.
I'll direct link since the pics are kinda big. The coupe currently: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/tr4c3/DSC01414.jpg The POS daily: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/tr4c3/DSC01418.jpg My first S-chassis in all it's glory: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/tr4c3/DSC01418.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/tr4c3/DSC01418.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/tr4c3/DSC01418.jpg

Got my first 240sx in December 2002 and this is what I made it look like.
14x6.5" meshies I sold that one and got another one. Then had an s14, but I can't find pics of that one. *insert s14 pic* I then got my favorite of all my 240's, my 91 coupe. Sold that after it crapped out on me and got this fastback. I now got another one brewing in my garage. |

How about this for size 1996 240SX SE - Circa 1996
This was my first Brand New Car purchased from a dealership. Performance Nissan in Duarte,CA ^^^ Stock photo found on the intarweb. I owned this car before digital cameras and i was too lazy back then to take photo's and develop them . And I didnt really have a reason to have photo's of my car. I was too damn busy driving and enjoying it!!! Still kicking myself for selling it to buy a truck in 2008 |
