240sx

[student]

I kind of liked it before when not that much people were into nissan. Now because super street and other stuff have been hyping people about drifting everyone wants a 240sx. I think they should stick to their hondas and leave the nissan 240sx to people who really appreciate them.

[Kid Zelda]

This was bound to happen ... it’s the media .. The media is controlled and needs new things to sell to ppl so it stays fresh ! !

So Nissan is the new hot...trend.  
If some one wants to buy a 240sx, nothing you can do about it ....

I just wonder how this will play out ... will it catch on .. or stay a small community....  

One BIG reason I wouldn’t like it to catch on ... is the attention from cops in general....  plus all the crappy products that would be produced because there would be more demand.

[Coldsun]

Man i know this is a direct reply to my post
so let me defend myself....... Basically the car is hot.... But the truth is i see more ferraris then i do nice 240sx... so with that they will never be too big there too rare...
And fuck this whole you gotta love nissan shit... man i love CARS first.. then i get brand specific....So if its a hot car i'm roll with it... I wish i had picks of my boys eclispe cuz i'm am the one who talked him into getting a Silvia headlight conversion...
ahh well whateva i dotn need to do this... Basically i'm jus here to saying your worrying about soemthing that will never happen....  simple as that... and as far as hondas -acuras- ects , shit i got no problem going back to them.... i love cars first

Ouch you opened up a whole new can of worms bringing up people that do that :biggrin:

[s14vaxlr8]

well one good fact is that the peeps that want the 240 will have a hard time finding them, especially the s14, they werent pooping them out like hotcake like with the civics, teg, and eclipses

[student]

hey there coldsun I did not post this because i read your post. I just happened to be posting the same time you were. It just a coincidence and i think its funny too. It also proves that my post is true that people like you want a 240sx because of super street and drifting. hahahaha

[Coldsun]

a Conversion was the only thing left for him
like i said i am aking this post as a shot at me, so to lay it down....
Yo i been to enough drag events, and shows , and posted on enough forums and been to hunts point and Spring Valley enough to know that the problem with the scene is all the inner conflict.... HAHAH yo i'm all for it but some people let it control them... To paint a picture stevie wonder could see.. its like this... The other day me and my friend was in foot locker... This kid picked up a pair of some of the ugliest shoes i ever seen and said &quot;YO THESE ARE HOT&quot; i looked at him like he was a fool... and there it is.. life... beauty is in the eye of...you know the rest

What is your highest level of education?
A) Elementary School
B) No skool

Seriously. &nbsp;Try using complete sentences in your posts and/or some correct grammar. &nbsp;

At any rate, I too hope that the 240 won't become the next Integra or Civic. &nbsp;Part of the reason I picked up my 240 was because it WASN'T as popular and I rarely ever saw them in my area. &nbsp;I will admit though that I have seen quite a few more lately.

I just don't want to start seeing a bunch of s13s and s14s running around looking like they're straight out of F&amp;F with graphics all up and down the side of them.

Hey, let's not bash on the Honda Boy of the Forum. He's just trying to get some proper education.

If he's decided to take this topic as an ego shot, fine... let him have it. But let's not turn this into an argument.

I would be laughing my ass off if 240s became the next Civic. But you all know that won't happen. Let's not fantasize about silly things, please? 240s are 240s, they always will be.

And Coldsun, to tell you the truth, I would actually love to live on an island in house made up of Nissan parts with fellow 240/200/Silvia owners from all over the worls. Actually, I'd like some Skylines to join us as well <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. And 3Zs. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[DuffMan]

The 240sx will never be the next civic. The thing with the civic is that they're everywhere. Same reason why chevy small blocks had such a huge aftermarket, because in the 60's and early 70's they were EVERYWHERE.

Congratulations Coldsum, on your graduation from honda to nissan. Heh, we're not all that snobby really, it just gets frustrating when your aftermarket has to be imported at huge costs, no one gives your car the respect it deserves, and all of your turbo options are being hunted down by CARB nazis.

[Ni5mo180SX]

Yea ive noticed that too in S CA. All the old Honda veterans are trading in their riced out Civics for 240's. Its kinda sad and bothers me just cause it seems to reflect through some people on the message board too. For me Nissan and the Nissan lineup come first so its discouraging to see people from different camps switching over so they can go with &quot;the swap&quot; or they can convert theres into a &quot;Silvia&quot;

[j1n102]

dont forget folks......they dont make 240's anymore.
not enuff to become that big......

[rampid360]

I have to agree that 240s wont get too popular.
1. Rare, those who have them wont want to give them up now (or did they ever? ) these cars are addicting
2. Price range...only the richest of the &quot;My mommy buys me nice things&quot; type of kids will even think to afford great stuff for their 240s
3. All the little kiddies will leave the dealership and haul ass into their first corner trying to &quot;drift&quot; because they have a rear wheel drive car now...and send the car (hopefully them too) to their deaths.

[Tuck&Poke]

yea its no biggie. &nbsp;theres not enough to go around and people will get fed up about not having one and go buy another teg or CMC. &nbsp;im with coldsun i like cars first. &nbsp;if i see a nice teg or prelude (not those ricey craps with more mufflers than cylinders) ill probably drool all over it. &nbsp;i like nissans more than hondas but i still like all cars. &nbsp;uh and rampid....why do you want a prefectly good 240 to crash? &nbsp;id rather the guy get ejected from the car and the car safely slides into the grass. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[rps13det]

Damm mainstream. Stupid street is a magazine full of hondas and hondas only. Their ignorance makes real JDM parts look sad. About drifting, the guys in Japan who actually do drifting, have been racing for numerous years. Its not a one-time thing or novelty as how stupid street puts it as. if hondas are so tight and sick, then why do the majority of the tuners and racers turn to Nissan and Toyota? I wonder why?....

[DSC]

bla bla bla iz koo dagg...I got tired of reading that pointless dribble so hopefully I'm not saying something someone already said.
The 240 will never become the civic for three reasons...
1.) there were far less produced. Both s14 and s13 but the s14 is about 80% more rare.
2.) they are sports cars...no matter how much you rice them out, they are still sports cars. A civic is a mom's car...no matter how much you rice it out, its still a mom's car.
3.) 240's are rear wheel drive. If everyone who riced out their civics got a 240, they would all wreck them because they spent too much time riceing their car out and talking about NOS instead of learning how to drive.

Edit: just saw coldsun's post...just want to clarify that my above post wasn't pointed to anybody directly...well cept for the dawg part <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Okay, skrilla, g-man homey dogg. &nbsp;It be mad illin and straight up chillin on that ass if ya know what I'ma be sayin, g.

[sil80]

My 2 cents --- First im new so im sure peeps here will flinch to back what I have to say.

I am a huge drifting fan... started in a 82 trans am and ran it hard for a year tell my brother wrecked it. Then I decide I wanted a light car that was quick so I could hold the drift for good distance. Well I was told drifting was easy in a FF car. So I got a 91 civic HB. Let me tell u drifting a FF is not easy and pushing through a big corner is even tougher. If a drunk guy hadnt smashed it I was still planning on getting a 240sx with silva conversion as some point cause i like the look. But now i have more reason to get it soon which im stoked but by the way everyone is reacting in here its scary to think im going to share a passion with people that think they are above the rest(hondas, fords, etc). I think we need to remember to support each other and make the 240 scene stronger.. or something..

I truly dont think sports compact &amp; super street are gonig to be making the 240 gods gift on earth.. if so you would be seeing a bunch of corrolla GTS converted to AE86s... now wouldnt that be a sight to see.

Right on the mark, Coldsun. &nbsp;

I do think it's funny that you try to act as though you yourself aren't judgemental, yet you quickly assert that I live on a farm, am unintelligent and narrow minded... &nbsp;

[student]

yeah.

[Takumi]

As long as &quot;I&quot; can find a 240SX when it comes down to buying one, it's fine. I like cars too. I'm not biased against Hondas (since I own one myself) nor do I think the 240SX or any other car is far superior to anything on the road. I used to be an import car facist, purely believing Japanese automobiles are far superior to domestics. Then I got my head out of my ass and just appreciated the work, effort, and looks of any car, regardless of which country the car was manufactured.

As for Coldsun, I can understand him just fine. Well, mostly. That's cuz I'm a closet &quot;b-boy&quot; and I used to talk like that, and I've heard that talk all the time. I live in the suburbs, but that doesn't make me ignorant to everything else. LOL I'm not going to &quot;try and kick knowledge&quot; and tell people how they should type. If I can't understand it, I'll ask them to elaborate instead of just bashing their grammar mistakes and the way they talk. Most of the time, they'd clear things up for you if you just ask....nicely.

Guys, just knock it off with the biggotry and talk to each other like people. Obviously it's not a way to prove a point.

As far as I know, cormega has had beef with nas since nas came out with illmatic. They grew up together and nas never put cormega on like he was supposed to do. I think mega was doing time for a bit too while nas was making records. I like illmatic and it was written, but Nas' later shit dosent impress me. I first started liking cormega when I heard his freestyles. Hes nice.

Well, my absolute favorites would have to be Mos Def and Talib Kweli. I also listen to a little Hieroglyphics, Souls of Mischief, Aceyalone, Blackalicious, The Pharcyde, Drunken Tiger, Thirstin Howl, Mobb Deep, Wu-Tang, Redman, etc. as well as sniplets and songs from various other artists.

Nas is cool, I loved Illmatic, which I have, then I started to dislike him when he sold out, now he's &quot;taking it back to the streets&quot;, and he came out with some good stuff on STILLmatic, but there were some tracks that he could have done without. He's still displaying some good mic skills, but I don't know how long it's gonna last. Illmatic was a pretty short CD (10 tracks) to today's standards, but it's a great CD. I perfer quality over quantity these days. I've been diggin' the crates and I pulled out my old albums by AZ (Doe or Die) and Big L (Lifestyles Ov Da Poor and Dangerous), good stuff, especially Big L's old album. I'm also a fan of Canibus, but he's been stricken with horrible producing through most of his career, but I love his freestyling. Blah. Someone hook him up with a good beat to work with for once! I haven't heard much of Cormega, but if you can recommend some cuts to check out, I'll be sure to grab 'em. Man, even after listening to hip-hop since elementary school, there's still tons of stuff I haven't heard yet.

Anyway, sorry to get off topic. I already said my piece about the popularity of 240SX's. As long as they keep the crappy riceboy products at a minimum for 240SX's and never, EVER manufacture Lexus/Euro-style lights for any of the aftermentioned cars, I don't care. As long as the owners of 240SX's has their heads on straight and their attitudes right, it won't be tagged as a &quot;riceboy&quot; car like Hondas. Plus having informative websites and fellow 240SX enthusiasts answer every newbies' questions, that'll reduce the &quot;idiot riceboy&quot; level a lot.

yo homiez ROLLL OUT!!! lol. 240sx will never be as popular as a civic, not enough of them, a &nbsp;200sx or sentra has a better chance than &nbsp;240sx of becoming the new fad.

[bing]

i agree it wont be the next civic, but i have noticed alot more people with 240sx's and not nobody's, but the ones who atleast think of modding,

i mean, check out the newbies here, they keep getting larger and larger.

If you ask me, civic, supra's, eclipse's, cavaliers, are all the same, next s the focus, and the WRX.

Then we wont have any more sportcompacts, they'll all be 5 door wagons with 6 speed trannies...

is it just me or is there now a difference in hp like there is in watts.

i mean come on a 180hp toyota matrix, i say it's like a pioneer or kenwood amp where it's listing peak power, like if you use jet fuel and nos you might put 180 through the belts.

Or like a pyramid 800 watt amp where it really means 3.8 watts rms at full volume. or if you run jet fuel, nos, a supercharger, and bore it out an extra 0.2 litres all on the engine running the front tires and do the same to the engien in the trunk running the rear tires, then you can strip the interior and maybe pull of the 180hp.

fuck 5 door wagons aimed at the new daddy, fuck all kids who say the word spoon and engine in the same assinine phrase, fuck paul walker (is that his name???) and his F&amp;F crew. especially that slutty chick in the 240 and that idiot sho thought a jetta could beat an s2000 (is that the car he lost to???) and fuck frankie muniz for buying it and thiking you can buy cool, No. you can hang out with me a people will think you're cool, but frankie muniz shoulda bought a civic. He shoulda bought a civic put an eclipse front end on it, with a supra interior, WRX all wheel drive and and paint it and decal it in platinum and still woulda saved money over the jetta.

...where am i...

[drifting240sx]

last night i saw a 91 or so 240. couldnt really tell last night. t was all primed and i went up to talk to him. he didnt know shit about it. he even thought it was a ff. i was just acting dumb asking all kinds of bs. he gave me all the wrong answers. im just glad i didnt asks him about drifting.

[student]

hahahaha thats funny drifting240sx. Its just like when this one car dealer told me the 240sx was a 94 when it was a 91 to 93. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

[Coldsun]

i'm glad that most everyone here agrees what i originally stated
that the 240sx wont become big, and people are worrying over nothing

About Cormega, man him and nas have had beef for a minute... Cormega gots a come back to destroy and rebuild, its good, but in my eyes not good enough, nas served him..... Stillmatic is a #### good album... and in my eyes Cormega needs to worry about surpassing Nature who i think is making better MUSIC, Mega might be nicer but Nature makes better songs..... Mos Def is probably one of my favorite rappers.. and Canibus is a sad story, so much talent but he can't make a hit, he should jus feature and freestyle... or join rocafella, and get by jus by being next to Jay....hahah... &nbsp;Sorry to pull this topic away... jus cool to see some hiphop
-Sun

[BlankFlip]

look how big they r in japan. would u not buy one in japan if u were there cuz of how ppl know and appreciate them there? btw, i don't think they'll ever get too big. most ppl that drive them don't even mod them at all anyway, which can be good for someone to take it off their hands later.

OH.####.NO. Jay's good, I liked &quot;Reasonable Doubt&quot;, everything else is like &quot;eh...good for MTV, but too pop for pure hip-hop fans&quot; with a few acceptions. Beanie Sigel's okay, Memphis Bleek sorta sucks. Amil, okay, um.. can anyone say &quot;Lil' Kim/Foxy Brown&quot; ripoff? I swear, every record label/crew has their token &quot;thug&quot; girl rapper. At least Flip Mode's got Rah Digga, now THAT'S a real female emcee. I think I get your point about some lame rapper getting pops just because they're featured with Jay-Z. LOL Canibus' style doesn't work, it's just, I dunno, it's like a battle style. He isn't into flossin', shot callin', or any of that. He just busts stuff like this.. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Now watch me rip the tat from your arm
Kick you in the groin, stick you for your Vanguard award

Anyway, back on topic. BlankFlip brought up a good point. Now, in Japan, 180SX's and Silvias over there is like an #######. Everyone's got one. Just like Civics and Integras here..but faster. Majority of the 240SX owners in the states drive unmodified 240SX's. To be honest, I mostly see college students, middle aged men, and women driving those.

[Cormegas13]

Takumi, check out &quot;one love, letter to nas&quot;, &quot;real nigs do real things&quot;-freestyle biggie beats, &quot;montana diaries&quot;, &quot;realmatic&quot; nas diss hot!, &quot;get out my way&quot;, Tony Touch freestyle, &quot;raps a hustle&quot;, &quot;thun and kiko&quot; w/prodigy. &nbsp;
Sun, I went to huntspoint tonight. Cops kept shutting everything down. Saw a couple good runs but a lot of relocating. I saw one other 240, black s13 with body kit. We raced off the crossbronx and he beat me, but I also had my friend and my brother in the car with me, both of them added weigh over 400lbs. He probably would of beat me anyhow though. Saw this old ass BMW beat a teg, and a teg stay with a new style mustang GT. The kid in the Mustang sucked though. He was supposed to race an older vette, but stalled like it was his first time driving stick. Then the teg came up after the vette took off.
Sorry about going off subject.
dam I gotta get to sleep!

[tnord]

Hey coldsun...........go away, or at least to 240sx.org

[S14KAT]

I'm from NY too guys, you should let me know if you head down to the races sometime. &nbsp;I'd be up for it. &nbsp;What about the Franny Lew. &nbsp;I know they were racing there a lot, but the cops have been coming down real hard on all that street racing lately. &nbsp;Let me know whats up......

You were just about to have the nice men in white suits give you your medicine. Don't worry everything's gonn be ok.

[sspikey]

i dont want 240s to become popular but when i see hondas getting all the parts sooo cheap and 240 owners having to pay crazy amounts of money. but the reason ive wanted a 240 for almost two years is because its rwd. first car i drove was rwd. and i cant stand Fwd. also the thing is absolutely great looking. but also what will keep honda owners away from a 240 is the insurance. dont know if its like that everywhere but here the 240 is hella expensive on insurance.

[negular]

i dunno, but i really dislike hondas... theyr like sketchers, they are gay but everybody has them

[Takumi]

Okay aside from the &quot;ricers who drive Hondas&quot;, I don't know why people just have to totally show that much hatred and generalize all Hondas as &quot;gay&quot;, &quot;stupid&quot;, &quot;retarded&quot;, &quot;weak&quot;. I've seen badly tuned Hondas as well as some well tuned Hondas as well as ugly ass 240SX's and some nice 240SX's.

Biased opinions and false generalizations...blah, gimme a break. People just need to get their heads out of their asses before making statements like that. People sound as if they're trying too hard to sound cool by knocking other cars just because they're popular. That's retarded. Seriously.

[gschroeder78]

Since we are talking about things we think are retarded let me throw in my $.02 &nbsp;I think the whole rice thing is stupid. Either you like it or you don't. Someone who likes &quot;altezza&quot; lights may want to put them on their car. I'm sure they don't think it will make them faster, they just like them. But alot of us don't. It's called a difference in taste. I don't like seafood but you guys might, it's just personal preference. Thats been addressed plenty but I wanted to throw out a thought.

We all wear clothes that we like, either because they are comfortable or because we like how they look on us. Would there be anything wrong with putting new carpet in a shitty house to make it look nicer? It all goes the same for cars, weathor it's nice wheels on a shiity car or a big spoiler on a slow car. They know their car is shitty or slow, they just want to do what they can to improve it in their minds eye.
We don't have a term for people who fix up their houses to look better or dress &quot;cool&quot; or nice so I come to the conclusion that the whole rice thing is pointless.
That's all I have to say about that.

I want a datsun 510 now or a 240z.

I see what you mean, but the majority of ricers are in the Honda camp. How many S13 &amp; S14's do you see with huge wings, &quot;euro&quot; style tail lights etc. Honda is a cool company with some excellent engineering. Its the ricers that give it a bad name.

More Hondas = more ricers

Do the math. Since Hondas are widely produced and sold here almost 4-5 times moreso than 240SX's, of course they'll have more parts, more parts (especially useless ones) means more Honda tuners. More Honda tuners also means more ricers. I'm sure if it was the other way around, 240SX's would be the victims just as much as Honda.

[Drift Style S14]

I AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER RIGHT NOW.

[drifting240racer]

I don't know about the rest of you but I first learned about drifting and the 240sx's on Initial D. Now I already was sliding my '66 ford pickup around, that was out of necessity. Ever see how BIG they are, see if you can park one of those in a small JC parking spot when in a hurry. I started looking at the different cars out there and found that I liked the corolla and the 240. Now I really liked the 240 for three reasons. First it was FR (like my truck, different from my grandfathers caddy), Second the handling of the 240 is great, and Third it is a safe car (mine show the last point.) I finally found one at the end of Dec and was able to buy it. Got it home 1/21/02. I have been looking for a 240sx since Spring 2001 and had about 4 months of research into which car I was going to buy (engine, looks, speed, sleeper, safety.) Now I just recently found the SS mag and Import Tuner.


O and to rampid360 who said
&quot;3. All the little kiddies will leave the dealership and haul ass into their first corner trying to &quot;drift&quot; because they have a rear wheel drive car now...and send the car (hopefully them too) to their deaths. &quot;

No! No! I like but why send the car to it's death, what did it ever do. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> :confused:

O and my poor baby got in to an accident with a big tractor that decided not to signal when turning into a driveway. I have the pictures up on my site now. If I had been driving is some little crunch car I would be dead. That shows the safety of the 240sx. Just look at the size of what it went up against.

I have a 240sx but my true love are the FR corolla GTS. &nbsp;I don't know why but I just love those things. &nbsp;Since the first time I rode in one I wanted one. &nbsp;I knew I was going to get one but then what happens, everybody in Japan starts reading Initial D and whooptee doo the price just happens to go up on those things. &nbsp;I don't like the truenos though, I would rather have a levin. &nbsp;I bought my first silvia because it was cheaper (way cheaper) than the &quot;hachiroku&quot;. &nbsp; Any way back to the subject.
I've only seen one picture of a 240sx that was truly &quot;riced&quot; out and I think someone posted it here to show everyone(the one with the ramair hood and wings and whatnot) other than that I haven't seen anybody going too crazy with the body kits. &nbsp;The stock styling is nice, just look at most of the big name companies that make kits for this car, &nbsp;they don't really change the way the car looks but just adds a little flavor here and there. &nbsp;I kinda like being one of the few people in my hometown and here to have a 240sx.....

Last night i saw a really nice honda. &nbsp;I mean...it moved as slow as old people fuck...but it was a show car. &nbsp;(and i'm SURE it could have won a few) &nbsp;I mean this car was absolutely fuckin beautiful. &nbsp; If someone wants to make their car look nice...with body kits, rims, lighting ect...fine with me. &nbsp; IMHO rice=stickers. &nbsp; If you put big wings on your car to make it look good to yourself..great. &nbsp;But dont try to sport gay NOS stickers (and in the case of one confused honda kid i saw...edlebrock and holley stickers) &nbsp;when you are running stock please.

As for my comment earlier about the kids wrecking their cars...dont take it literally...i wouldn't wish death upon ANY 240. &nbsp;In the perfect world(as minime686 said) the car would slide into the grass and the driver would be ejected. &nbsp;I was just facing rough facts. &nbsp;Little kiddies will go all initial d style around the first tight turn...and odds are the car WONT survive.
