I got mine when I was 18 and I only had two but I will always have one for sure. I had BMW's, supra's, acura's but I had the most fun with the s-chassis. I also think about selling mine after something goes wrong month after month but I still have it.

My first car was a 510 two door with a L20b that i got when i was 15. I'm 23 now and love my RB s13 regardless of how many headaches it gives me. Datsun/Nissan will always be my first love.

I am considering a GF8 impreza wagon with a EJ25 sti motor swap as my next car though. I might be moving to oregon for grad school and the 4wd wagon is just more practical. I'll come back to nissan soon enough though.

I bought my S13 hatch off of my girlfriend's sister's boyfriend in January 2006 when I was 22. I still own the same hatch today and have had my redtop SR in it since March 2007. I'm now 28 and that gf is now my wife and the sis-in-law and her bf have been married, but are now divorcing. I plan on keeping the car forever and wish I had bought one back in 2003 when my other brother-in-law had one. I love having a vehicle I can tinker on. Plus, I had a 3rd gen F-body before the S13, so I have a thing for hatchbacks. I hope to do a full-on, proper restoration (as in $50k+) within the next few years.

I'm 42 and have had my 240 for over 7 years 3 of which it sat on the side of my house withe a desert squirrll living under the hood. My Mother brought it home as a second car for when the other cars were in the shop etc.I thought it was a P.O.S till I drove it through the 138 ,and thought "Shit this handles pretty damn good!"

I love seeing these types of threads where the guys who started all the trend chime in and share their stories. I'm only 20 and don't have 10 years worth of owning these cars. But I've loved the 240 sense I was about 10 and bought one finally in December of 2009. I don't plan on owning 9 or more though lol I love my s13. I'm now saving for my next car. (350z).

I bought my first and only S13 coupe in 2001, did some lame light up shift knob that melted in the Cali sun the first day I put it In and put the light up windshield washer nozzles that lasted a month before I cut the wires and painted them black, that the most river I got, til this day I have that car just did the brown to black interior conversion last night, I'm 29 going on 30 next April and I still love my car and I have the same exact feeling when driving it as the first day I bought it. I figured that feeling would go away but it hasn't, I still feel badass in my $3000 car....lol I've had a 85 ford Ltd with 5.0 mustang engine, a 97 eclipse spider get, 99 prelude, 93 bronco, 08 tC and a 96 talon tsi, I've since sold those cars but never could sell my S13, in 08 when I got divorced my ex wanted to take my S13 I damn near cried because I love my car that much.

Just to add, I bought my S13 because my old ford Ltd broke down, went looking for a new car and I saw the 240sx, I just fell in love with the look and color (champagne gold) but I didn't want to jump to the first car I saw, went all day looking and looking but that lil gold car wouldn't get out of my head, so I went back to the lil dealer and as I was getting there and old couple had just gotten back from test driving the lil gold car, I ran in and asked if they bought the lil gold car, the guy said no so I yelled, "I'll take it!" didn't know what the car was all about, I had never heard of a 240sx but I just loved how it looked, I've since learned so much about the "240sx" about three years after I owned the car I learned it was the Nissan Silvia in japan, I freaked out because when I was a kid and the first gran turismo game came out, my favorite car was the Nissan Silvia s13, it was so awesome.

Like I said, everytime I get into my 240, I still have the same excited feeling as the day I brought her home.

I'm not claiming to be old, but I'll share my age anyway. I'm 19, turning 20 next month. lol

I've owned 4 S13's so far. Two of them were/are actually driven, other two were parts cars. Bought my first one fresh out of my sophomore year in 2008. I always liked 240's since middle school. I remember it being my car in NFS: Underground. haha

got my first S13 when i was 18, im 28 now and on S-chassis 4.

its sad to say that zilvia is getting older, and a lot of the members are still childish, trolling in peoples threads, and then when being confronted about it... "its just zilvia"

there is some good content on here, inbetween the trolling insults, so i stick around for good info.
