[RacerfreakXXX]

Hi guys, noob here, I joined a bit ago but i'm gonna be getting my 240 in the next coupple of months for a dd & drifting down at e-town. I am currently driving a lightly modded 03 track 350z, not a good dd by any means. Looking at getting a 89-93 hatch.

Any suggestions for wheels. I got a set of snows from my old type-s i am gonna throw on. I am looking for something 16x7. I have no idea what offset the stock wheels are or what wheels are decent that would fit my tires. I was thinking about geting some rota's, but i hate them, but i'm being super cheap on wheels. The rotas i want, grid racing, are 40 offset and idk if that's too small for the 240 or what size spacers i would need.

[allntrlundrgrnd]

Im confused. your z33 is not a good dd by any means?

I really want to know why you want to drop your z33 track edition for a s13 with rotas.

[muddafakka]

This thread...will not end well. :ugh:

[RacerfreakXXX]

Im confused. your z33 is not a good dd by any means?

lol... too much money and wear and tear to maintain. I just spent 1k on maintinace on the car and spending 1.2k (5k w/ insurance and gas and ect) on the car a year is something i'd rather not do anymore. Plus driving with 300bhp and 280tq in the snow is not fun, even with snow tires the car wont grip. I need something more economical and cheaper to maintain.

If you're keeping the z and want to cut costs, why not just get a civic or corolla for DD?

Cheap, look good, decent offset (well, I think its decent)

thats b/c you're looking at baby sizes. 16's are not super common, compared to 17's and 15's. you should be able to find some nice sized riken meshes or something in 15's that are wide enough. dont go over +25 offset for any reason ever

[pssht]

Rota grid 16x8 +10, sportmaxx 002 16x8 0 offset, bolth will work for you

[lflkajfj12123]

stay under 0 offset kthx

[CrimsonRockett]

stay under 0 offset kthx

Could not agree more.

240 go for 1k or less and a civic and corolla go for 3k in the same condition...

i don't understand why you're getting crap offest wheels then spacing them for winter...

..did i miss something? like... just get a normal offset and that eliminates the need for spacers.

allssooooooooo don't get 8". definitely not. 9 is FINE on an s13. no reason for 8" at all

wait so...you ask people for suggestions on wheel sizes and offsets...and then completely fail to listen to anyone's suggestion?

why?

[devonkyle77]

this thread is a joke. you have a z33 but want a 240 for reliability and cheaper maintenance? let me let you in on a little secret. these cars are old, always broke down, and unreliable. lol.

i cant fathom why you would possibly do this when you have a z33. and then you justify it by your z is bad in snow? an s chassis is going to be worse in snow. atleast you have tcs and that anti slip feature. just get a second set of wheels with a good set of blizzaks.

[koukimonster139]

yea i agree going from a lightly modded 350 DD to a late 80's/early 90's nissan hatchback DD is definetly a great idea.......

if its a brand new late 80's early 90's nissan hatchback

[Erjay1]

I dropped my modded 06 Z33 with Volk Time Attacks and FULL bolt-on's for as s14 with sr. :)
N/A sucks! I was barely able to squeeze out 277whp and 263 tq with almost all bolt-on's. No dount it looked real nice, was comfortable, amazing handling and sound of pure sex.....but I still had small turbo cards whooping my butt. Going FI is an option but is really expensive. So I returned my Z and bought my s14 with more potential.

[Agent240sx]

Wow some of you are detached from reality...

Maybe the guy doesn't want to drive his z33 in the winter? Anyone ever heard of a winter beater? It actually snows in certain parts of the world you know...

Which may lead to rusting! Ohhhh noooezzz :eek: Preserving his z33 is nothing out of the ordinary.

Hes getting a DD and winter beater (s13) how hard is that to understand?

To the OP you seem to already have your mind set out to get certain wheels for your car... why make a post to even ask what kind of wheels to run? People will just recommend volks/rays/works/nismo in low offsets which you don't seem to be in the market for.

Don't create a thread to start up a flame war and judging by your title you knew it was coming. This thread sucks and you fail large.

[!Zar!]

Plus driving with 300bhp and 280tq in the snow is not fun, even with snow tires the car wont grip. I need something more economical and cheaper to maintain.



I'm keeping my 350z.. i just need a dd


Any suggestions on the wheels or not?

Uhh. Pro tip.

Learn how to drive. You obviously have no throttle control if you have a new car that comes from the factory easy enough a granny could drive.

Instead of spending the money on a s13, you should just take defensive driving lessons.

thats is irrelevant, he is saying he wants a reliable DD and he i wants to purchase an s chassis to save money. modding a 240 is a horrible way to save money, lol.

[illvialuver]

I have never understood the whole not a good dd thing. I could understand if it was like " yeah my lotus is not a good daily" but a z? I would think that a Z would be the same as a 240 for a daily.
and posting noob on zilvia is like going to the ocean and simming in chum.

[brewster240]

wow fred, this funny.

sounds just like all the stuff i told you in person doesnt it?

are you taking it in any better now that its on the internet?

[ZilviaKid]

i drove my 240 last winter with snow tires and it was pure shit.. the thing looses grip in a straight line, spins out on the corners and gets stuck on steep hills. if you really want a car for winter OP, you should seriously look for an older Jetta or Golf. reliable as fuck, cheap on everything, and sick in winter. DO IT

LOL you want to replace a 350Z DD with a S13 240sx for a daily DD. LOL Nothing personal but your going completely backwards to everything.
Trust me you do not want a S13 for daily driver unless you like driving around a 20 year non classic car that most people will ding in the parking lot without even giving a shit. A car that you will be working on a regular basis not because its not reliable but because its almost 20 years old. Plus you want to put some absolutely terrible offset wheels on. LOL

If the daily driver thing is really getting you then you should find something along the lines of a P11 G20 or a Suby 2.5 RS, . The S13 is not going to get any better mileage than the Z33. The S13 is going to be harder to find in your area in good shape and because of that is most likely going to need more matinence and cost you more than its worth to begin with.

The funny things here are two fold. One is, most of us are upgrading to Z33's and newer cars so we do not have to drive our S13's on a daily basis.

The other is the expense is to make a S13 a good reliable daily short of finding one in absolutely perfect condition. ( A needle in a haystack I might add)
S13's Which I have driven daily for many years I might add, have now entered the netherworld of older cars. Which usually means that unless you strip the car down and go through it top to bottom its most likely going to be a old somewhat smelly hahahhahha car that is in need of constant care.
Most people here that have nice S13's have pretty much replaced everything in the damn car. In the end that will cost you money are you prepared for that? It adds up quickly.

I know this all sounds like I don't like S13's anymore hahhahahahahahha. Thats not even so, though I have seen and realized,we have now entered the world I mentioned above with our cars.
If you do not have an absolute love of the car you probably would be better off with something newer, that does not need as much attention or TLC. Besides the fact that if you start modding it suspension wise, your gonna hate daily driving it. LOL

[WangonwWarrior]

^^^ agreed +1

[thefro526]

Why would you buy a 240 to have as a DD/drift car? Make the 350z your drift car and get something that's actually practical to DD. Trust me, if you can't afford to DD a 350z Then you can't afford to DD AND Drift a 240.

Straight up, for me to go to Englishtown and not drift is an $40-$60 dollars in Gas and Food and Drinks and stuff. Now for me to run at Englishtown and Drift it's gonna cost me at least A tank of Gas ~$50 Dollars plus $40 dollar entry fee for C class events, or 100 for A/B and tires and other stuff. Plus then I have to worry about driving my car all week after an event because it's my DD.

Now, if you were to get something practical like a Civic, Corrolla, Sentra, Versa.... that gets 30mpg easy that is decent in the snow and you can put groceries in then that would make sense. But why would you keep the 350z and then use a 240sx as a drift car and DD, basically the 350z is a waste of money and insurance and space.

lol... this is funny

1. I want to preserve my car, living in ny with the harsh weather and allt he salt on the road is a killer.

2. I have blizzaks on the car and unless you have a dd z33 that you drive in the snow and ice don't talk. Matty over here couldn't even handle driving it when i was teaching him stick so don't tell me i don't know how to drive.

3. I'm paying off my 350z plus i can't drift my z b/c my insurance is $400 a month so i switched to my parents insurance, $150 a month, but they don't want me drifting it under their insurance.

4. I am getting a 240 beater and who the F**k cares if i want it as my dd... i hope i flip the thing in the snow on the taconic :D

5. Those wheelse I said were an idea of what i was gonna get unless somone can tell me a set of wheels that will fit stock offset (somone said stock was 30) that i can put my old, w/ 1k use on them, blizzaks on.

[devonkyle77]

matter of fact, i had an enthusiast z33 for a year. vdc and tcs make it OH so much better in snow than my s14. just take it easy on the throttle for crying out loud.

[brewster240]

i hope i flip the thing in the snow on the taconic :D




i do to, then i can buy the parts, and your z for cheap.

[devonkyle77]

i just dont understand your logic. you are complaining about maintenance and wear and tear on your z33, but you want to take on a car that is approaching 20 years in age. it just seems backwards, and not cost effective at all.

[luftrofl]

So... at the end of the day was this just a "what kind of wheels should I buy?" thread?

[brewster240]

no, its a dumb kid who asks for advice, but doesnt want to listen to people who have been there and done that, he things hes going to do it better thread.

No whats funny is you. You asked for pratical advice, you were given pratical advice. At which point you did not take any of it.
You pretty much told everyone to screw off in not so many words and that you were gonna do what you want to do.
Why the hell are you even asking for advice? You seemed to have already made up your mind ahead of time.
Take the fucking cotton out of your ears and place it in your mouth!

1. S13's at this point in time are not pratical daily drivers. Unless you find a low mileage one thats a garage queen.

2. Where you live the likelyhood of that is extremely low and if so quite costly.

3. If insurance on your 350z is so costly that you had to go to your parents insurance to afford it should you even be owning it?

4. If you chose a S13 for drifting and driving daily your going to be one unhappy camper in our opinion.

5. If you can't take our opinions then shut the fuck up and don't ask for them.

[RacerfreakXXX]

lol... yay, i wanna break a plastic clutch in an evo!

brewster240... you told me to buy a 240 over a civic so shut the fuck up?

What is funny is I introduced myself and asked for brands of cheap wheels that would fit a 16x7 tire. I didn't ask if the 240 was a good dd or good in the snow. I am getting a 240 even if it's a peice of shit and probally gonna smash the shit out of it. My z is my pride and joy and i was paying my own insurance till i got dropped and no one would insure me at the age of 20 with a 350z so i went on my parents not caring of the cost.

Actually a rwd car is better in the snow than fwd you just have to put weigh on the rear suspension for better traction, such as sandbags or shingles. My mom drove a z32 n/a for 10 years dd and she said fwd sucks compared to rwd just fwd is better on gas. Yea i know my mom... big woop, i trust her opinion more than most of you just beacause most of the time parents know what they are talking about because they have experienced more things than a person in their 20's.

For all of you who can't justify a 240dd over a 350z dd... look at this. If i get hit by somone or smash into something 240 parts are cheeper plus i'm gonna spraypaint my car black so it's gonna be cheaper to fix anything that breaks than on my z. I had an asshole dent one of my doors on my z and it's gonna cost me a tone of money to dent out and repaint.. i might as well get cf doors. However if somone dents my 240 i'll be like oh whatever and not even care or waste a dime.

[devonkyle77]

why would it cost a ton of money to replace that stuff on the z? isnt that what your parents insurance plan is for? you are doing a pretty lousy job of justifying this stuff.

[ayuaddict]

you live in california.

what you say has no bearing on the rest of america.

the rest of america doesn't like coilovers wheels and aero?

may i inquire as to why?

[aNskY]

lol good luck finding an s13 in decent shape for less than $1k around here bro. anything that isn't completely rotted out will pull a premium.

based on your attitude, i hope you flip the bitch on the TSP too. just dont do it from 7-8am or 4-5 pm, because i hate retards who make me late for work or dinner.

[RacerfreakXXX]

lol... i'm gonna do it in traffic :D just to piss you off... and not tru you can find 240's with not too much rust for about 1k around here.

I love it how i piss so many people off when i say i want to dd a 240 and so many people do it.

[brewster240]

brewster240... you told me to buy a 240 over a civic so shut the fuck up?

.


actually ya little shit i told you to get a 240 over your stupid idea of getting a civic hatch and swapping a gsr into while at the same time complaining about how you have no money.

what i have been telling you to do the whole time as a smart decision is to buy a hyundai/corolla/etc to daily drive and use the z for drifting a taking out on the weekends.

but what do i know, ive never even owned a car, let alone built or drive them in the snow before :mephfawk:

the rest of america doesn't like coilovers wheels and aero?

may i inquire as to why?

like yes, have, no. you guys hog it all, thats why. the same shit you get for 200 will cost 500 here.

lol good luck finding an s13 in decent shape for less than $1k around here bro. anything that isn't completely rotted out will pull a premium.

i agree with you on his attitude, but i get good body 240s around here all the time for under $1k.

the difference between us and him though is that we can fix them.

This thread is just one big fail. He asked for advice, we gave it and he did not listen. In fact he pretty much told us we are all full of shit and all 20 years old like him. LOL
I am surprised we have been so good about holding back and not neg repping him to the red for being such and idiot. He is lucky, we are witnessing a kinder gentler Zilvia.
To bad its lost on him.

[brewster240]

you like little boys.

[devonkyle77]

most people that daily 240s dont have a perfectly good z33 already in the driveway.
again your arguments are really, really shitty.

[RacerfreakXXX]

:rofl:

well thank you to all of you who have at least been slightly understanding.

So what if I get a ek and do a swap and so what if i dd a 240. At least people with honda's are supportive and not total dicks. i understand you have to do work on a car if it has over 100k on it and is from 89. IMO i'd rather learn on a 240 then fuck up tinkering on my z.

Oh and i'm sorry I'm not a mechanic... i mean if i didn't go to school to learn how to work on cars i must not know how to cuz working on cars is so fucking hard.

Also so basically you told me not to get a 240... so yea i'm just gonna not get a 240 since i am planning on getting one. Also neg rep me all you want... why does that matter to me. Basically all i got from this thread was get huge offset, don't get a 240 for dd, aero is cheaper in ca apparently, and may car with tcs is better than my friends civic without tcs (or any car without tcs) however when in 1st and 2nd i spin my tires from a stop to start and they don't... wow.

[brewster240]

i learned how to fix cars cause i needed to get around and mommy and daddy didnt buy and insure a 350z for me.

i had a dodge shadow, i bought it myself, and when it broke i learned to fix it.

people with honda's are supportive cause they want you to build a sick ass car for them to steal and get all the parts from.

i tell you what i tell you cause i learned the hard way myself and didnt have anyone looking out for me.

im sure same with the rest of these guys.

if you dont want to listen, thats your own stupidity.

[RacerfreakXXX]

lol... haha aren't 240's stolen more than honda's at this point... idk

I apreciate it all... just don't tell me not to buy a 240 and assume i'm some rich dick or somone who bought a z33 and can't afford it... i am just plain sick of daily driving my z. I want a car i can work on and have stuff to do... all i can do on my z is an oil change or replaice fluids. I want a car i can get dirty with and learn... i'll always have my z if the car won't run

[devonkyle77]

ok, so why didnt you say you wanted to buy an s chassis for something to work on, as opposed to saying it was for a dd and to save money?

[RacerfreakXXX]

i don't... i am gonan buy a 240 and dd it but if i am working on it or anything i'm gonna drive my z... i just don't like putting 12k a year on my z or driving it in the snow(i don't want my baby to rust to hell on me :( ).

[drift freaq]

i don't... i am gonan buy a 240 and dd it but if i am working on it or anything i'm gonna drive my z... i just don't like putting 12k a year on my z or driving it in the snow(i don't want my baby to rust to hell on me :( ).

What we have been trying to tell you, over and over and over, is if you buy a s13 240 your still going to dump a ton of cash into it.
Especially if its broken and or needs work. Now if you had come out of the gate saying I want a 240 to drive and learn how to work on! You might have received a different response.

Instead you just came out and said you want a 240 to drive every day and be reliable and if you crash it, you don't care. Thats a uniformed statement, followed by a nonchalant do not care attitude.

Those are warning flags to us. It signals someone who needs educating. It signals someone who should not own a 240 to begin with. Why? These cars at this point in time need owners that care about them. Why? Most of these cars are entering the twilight years of their lives.

That is why we tried to explain to you that trying to run a modded S13 as daily driver was not exactly a bright idea, but no you would not listen. No, you would not take the advice. Instead you choose to be a insolent little child about it. It makes us wonder if you are a spoiled brat. Now you may not be but your own actions painted that picture.

Oh and for the grey squared person who attempted to neg rep me and called me an asshole. Well, call me an asshole for calling a spade a spade. If you can't handle the cold harsh truth you should not be here. This is Zilvia tough love comes naturally here. We don't tolerate idiots.

[RacerfreakXXX]

lol... don't expect me to not be pissed off by your responses... i don't respond well to negative attituded, can you blame me and you neg repped me first so boohoo.

sorry i wasn't clear but i would assume anyone buying a 240 would know it's gonna need alot of work. I figured everyone knew that and i guess not. I'm not stupid i just sometimes confuse people i guess with what i'm trying to do... woops. Who cares if your an ass... i'm abig ass who makes fun of retarded people and ugly ones too :D All i got from you guys till now was don't buy a 240 to dd cuz you have a z33... i was like wtf. If i sold my z for a broken down 240.. now then that would be stupid.

As far as my love for the 240 i have much. If i could have a s13 hatch& coupe, both versions of the s14, and an s15 i would love that... but that's never gonna happen. If i could make it all pretty i would but i probally won't be able to. Just spraypaint and an ebay body kit and cheap wheels and a ka24e... a de if i'm lucky. I'd like to one day paint my z and 240 a nice vibrant red... but idk.

If you do not want advice then do not post a thread asking for advice. We are not going to tell you only what you want to hear, we are going to give out opinions on the situation as well. Your plan to have a 240 as a drift car and a daily driver does not make sense, especially considering where you live.
First of all your drift car should not be your daily driver as drift cars take a lot of abuse and are prone to significant failure regularly due to that abuse.
-second a 240 will save you nothing on gas
-third it will be less comfortable
-fourth it will be no cheaper to maintain due to it's age
-fifth you will be tempted to modify it too much
You NEVER want to be tempted to modify your DD, save that for your project cars. What you NEED is a reliable, comfy, daily driver. Something with AWD like a 2.5rs impreza or a forrester would be perfect for your situation. The forrester would be better as you will be much less tempted to modify it. Something like an infinity g-20, civic, corrola, etc... would be good as well. Whether you are willing to admit it or not FWD is easier to drive in snow, ice, and rain. I know you will just brush my advice away and tell me how I shouldn't try to help you and I don't know what I am talking about, but I at least have to try.

bottom line - why do you REALLY want an s13?

civic, man. daily driver is a civic.

I say buy a horse.

They have good traction in the snow.

dun dun dunnnnnn...... lolz. i dont see this being a very good thread to start your new life on zilvia. but let me greet you the proper way...

SEARCH BUTTON! use it , live by it, swear by it,

if you want a DD an s13 isnt the best candidate. but if your gonna beat on it and drift it, then go ahead.
just think about what you want as in practicality.

if you think an s13 would be better in the snow than your Z then maybe you should re think this question again and post another thread.

in the end do what your heart desires and forget the rest. good luck and have fun.

ps. i drove an s13 in the snow, it really wasnt that hard at all.

[ayuaddict]

like yes, have, no. you guys hog it all, thats why. the same shit you get for 200 will cost 500 here.



america's tire company homie, MB battles/CSTs.

the new FN, the 5 lug 17" enkei mesh, cheap and kinda cool.

[WERDdabuilder]

So what if I get a ek and do a swap and so what if i dd a 240. At least people with honda's are supportive and not total dicks.


trust me..honda forums are worse.

LMFAO.

this whole thread has been a great way to start my morning, got some good laughs in

[exitspeed]

There are so many threads about "daily drivers" and what to get, blah, blah, blah.

But it sounds like you don't really want to hear what people have to say so...
