Who drifts their perfectly clean 240sx? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

lg54 · 03-24-2011, 11:39 PM

hey all,

i recently bought a 240sx s13 and learned how to drift. i've been drifting for about a year. About 1 month ago my tranny got f-ed up so i replaced it. I decided to paint my whole car and make it clean, body kit, etc etc etc. (always dreamed about having a clean 240)

its been gutted out and painted inside, switch panel, rb20det etc etc..

Now, i am having second thoughts about drifting my car. If i drift it, it would be competitive drifting.

This is not my daily, and i don't want to buy another missile 240.

How many of you guys drift your perfectly clean, aero'ed, painted 240sx?

Any pictures?

jacobs13 · 03-24-2011, 11:43 PM

Whats the point to your question? Yes your car will get fucked up, its part of the game. If you wanna keep it pretty you gotta pay or dont drift it and buy another. Its the ugly truth.

lg54 · 03-24-2011, 11:49 PM

yeah i know, its a hard decision. guess i gotta pay to play.

jholman · 03-25-2011, 09:25 AM

buy another good but not perfect 240 and drift the crap out of it....use the nice one as an occasional daily

jacobs13 · 03-25-2011, 11:05 AM

I know what you mean and im not trying to be a dick in any way, but everyone will crash. Only thing that you can do to maybe help is remove your bumpers and make bash bars

lg54 · 03-25-2011, 11:09 AM

yeah. thanks. and i guess it is really a dumb question, but after searching for a 240sx for 4 years, and spending to get it to where i have always dreamed of, it is a hard decision to decide wether to drift it or not.

imma look into that of the bash bars.

any other suggestions, comments, inspirations, are welcomed!

jesse_s13 · 03-25-2011, 11:16 AM

Just drift and have a good time while it lasts lol

WIKID S4TEEN · 03-25-2011, 11:28 AM

I think the REAL question is, can you AFFORD to fix it if it breaks?

lg54 · 03-25-2011, 11:35 AM

yeah i can. the real deal is that i dont wanna have my chassis all bent up, cause here in my country it is very difficult to fin parts.

WIKID S4TEEN · 03-25-2011, 11:42 AM

Oh ,you're a pimp. Just have extra parts/chassis in your storage.

Slammed Assassin · 03-25-2011, 11:51 AM

drift it if thats what you like to do..things can always be fixed..

yeah that actually made me feel better. lol

whitenoise · 03-25-2011, 12:32 PM

heres my car , daily, drift, and as clean as possible ( for me at least )

im lucky enough i didnt hit any wall BUT , a LOT will break like bushings and engine internals and etc...its really up to u if ur up for expenses of it vs not drifting it and save the money to make it pretty , hell i even wash the car and wax it before some track days . some people might not agree with that but i guess "different strokes for different folks"

lg54 · 03-25-2011, 12:40 PM

^^ yes!

that was what i was looking for. This is motivational. i guess it takes great balls and courage to drift your perfectly clean and beautiful car. i really like it.

More examples like this^ are welcomed

whitefedorafilms · 03-26-2011, 10:20 PM

Well if you're really planning on doing something like grassroots, you better be willing to scratch tha paint because the more you do it, the more likely you are to break something. but thats why we buy these cars.

jdm240sx122 · 03-26-2011, 10:45 PM

I drift mine ,but ya shit happens its just about fixen your shit & gettin back out there..XD

*hOngsterr* · 03-26-2011, 11:38 PM

show us your car

jdm240sx122 · 03-27-2011, 12:28 AM

^Ya, show us your sexy wheels.

midnite · 03-27-2011, 12:32 AM

lg54 show pics of your ride dude? leaving us hanging.

singlecamslam · 03-27-2011, 12:34 AM

Its a 90's nissan. Clean cars can be fixed. Its not a big deal

jr_ss · 03-27-2011, 12:46 AM

No one drifts a clean car... Atleast no level headed person would.

word sux · 03-27-2011, 12:51 AM

a pretty drift car is pretty pointless

*Jonnie Fraz* · 03-27-2011, 01:02 AM

This is my buddys perfectly clean S13, that we just finished for the Pro Am series.

lg54 · 03-27-2011, 01:26 AM

yeah. ill show you guys my car when its ready! its actually coming out of the paint shop in a few weeks!

it nothing out of this world, just a black hatch, freshly painted, body kit. gutted etc.. etc. but yeah, ill show you guys pics when its done.

its not the big deal, its just i don't wanna eff it up, cause in my country, we have only a few 240sx, and parts are really really scarce. I live in Dominican Republic, were drifting is growing very quickly, but parts for these cars are not easily found. i looked for my hatch for about 2 years, it was the best i could find around here, and its not good compared to you guys in the states.

Jared0934 · 03-27-2011, 12:15 PM

If you want to continue drifting, and you love the sport than go for it. My 240 is pretty clean and has a brand new BMW M5 Charcoal Pearl paint job and I drift it. I had my first accident rite before I deployed. Caught too much angle and was worried about my back end hitting the tires so I tried to straighten back out but caught hard and went slamming through the tires up onto the dirt hill. Bent my front bumper in a little and cracked it, and it took them about 35 minutes to tow me out because I had tires all up under my car. Was I mad? Hell no, I love the sport, sh*t happens. Hell, I was happy, you don't crash from pussy footing the corners, you crash from going balls to the wall and trying something new either more speed or more angle. Just my 2 cents, and trust me, I'm a Marine...money aint easy to come by in my line of work :-P

didn't that happen at Adams!

Jared0934 · 03-28-2011, 07:27 PM

Yes, OMG dude tell me you have pictures. My fucking buddy had my camera, but I had just got back from leave and my girl took over 1,000 pictures of Boston and it ran out of memory rite before I crashed. Hell yeah, man I was all excited cuz whats his face that works there and always drives that guys white supra, he was riding with me so I was like man, fuck this I'm going all out. and BLAM, tires, dirt, wall...happy crowd :-)

boobs13 · 03-29-2011, 03:08 PM

lol no pictures bro because we were just leaving then, BAMMM! haha. you didn't fuck up anything. Sucks seeing you crash tho but happy at the same time it wasn't me lol. When have you been having your jz on 240.

Jared0934 · 03-29-2011, 03:12 PM

The 2J has been in the car and up and running for about 10 months. The last time you saw me at Adams though was the last week I drove it. So about 7 months it hasn't been driven because I've been deployed. But yeah nothing got hurt, few scratches and a small crack on the side of the bumper, but like i said, I don't care what I break, as long as I go out in style. It's all in the name of the game and scratching up your fresh paint job while drifting is THE LAST thing you should be worried about...

vas570sx · 03-29-2011, 03:15 PM

i used to... its not so clean any more.
