because I couldn't afford a 2.5RS, and I got sick of trying to score a decent price on one.

So I bought a '96 Zenki off its original owner, bone stock. Hesitant to mod it because I might just sell it before I go to University..

Because I'm in Japan, it was cheap, and I can beat the piss out of it drifting and not care.

Because I wanted something different, I wanted something that I didn't see everyday like a honda lol. Then I went to a Formula Drift event, and I saw all these 240's.

I was looking for an R32 Skyline, looked at lots of them and they were all POS!

Came by my silvia by chance, much better than a skyline IMO.

I developed a taste for imports early on. Got a 240sx because they are amazing cars with a lot of potential and because I was sooo sick of seeing everyone I knew get Mustangs. I remember first hearing about 240's in high school. There was this kid always talking about how sick they were with a LS1 swap.

Got a kouki specifically because they look so damn good, if I didn't get a kouki I probably would have gotten a s13 hatch. I have a soft spot for s13s with a s15 front end.
Oh and because I couldn't afford a MKIV Supra

Couldn't be happier, the 240sx is a car that has aged really well and has a following full of some awesome people.

Because I always wanted one, traded my audi a4 1.8t quattro for my s14. Got it in a billion pieces with a half assed s13 SR swap (i would say it was just bolted in, just the motor..nothing else was done.. if it was it was not right). Finally got it running, first RWD car and first nisson, and my favorite car i've ever owned!

i've always wanted a 240sx coupe ever since i seen Initial D.

but i got sidetracked by a SR5 Corolla Hatchback, and a ugly Cressida, and a lexus LS400, and then another ugly cressida, until opportunity arrived to get a convertible taht was already converted to manual transmission.

Because of Gran Turismo 3. I had won the 270r and fell in love with it. that was when i was in middle school i believe. when it actually came down to purchasing one, s14s were too expensive for me. Eventually i just settled on a s13 hatch.

I've always loved Nissans. I had a 93 300zx 2+2 for 6 years



and got rid of it for a BMW 330ci.



Wanted another Nissan that wasn't expensive to fix up so I found an S14.

I've wanted one since I was 16 when my friend got one and wrecked it a week later with me in the car.... But never could find one I wanted when I was looking for one. Then my zenki kinda fell in my lap when I needed a DD after a drunk smashed into my truck.
