More than likely they will pull the same thing that every other company selling shoddy products/services does.

They will come out and say that their product is intended for off road use only in a "race" or "show" environment and the damage is because the end user was on the street. The very first SR swap I ever had done back in 05 had a bunch of issues and the shop pulled this kind of crap saying that their 30 day warranty didnt cover race parts and it was my fault for driving the car on the street.

Agreed. Clearly the design is insufficient. My point was only that a point of high stress is not necessarily a design flaw, only if it's beyond what the material properties can support. Just showing this model doesn't really answer that question. If they had beefed up the area that failed to support the load I would consider it just shitty rather than flawed.

And thanks undesiredshoe for the additional analysis. The perspective is interesting. Can your model output weight for each?

i think its basically buying followers, getting more attention, traffic to said page, etc.. theses are the type of d bags that put stuff like 'entrepreneur' in their bio.


ive seen some of the dumbest stuff pop up in the sponsored section. its sad that people actually spend $$ on that stuff, on top of already wanting to be in everyone's feed ("hey look at me and what I have")


its like winning in monopoly. congrats, no one cares. congrats dude you have a z33 with tinted tails, as well as your stupid watermarked pics that no one is going to steal in the first place. not even to mention sitting on the car... #BLESSED

Facebook is doing with Instagram exactly what it did with "pages" on FB itself. Forcing users to PAY for views. Theyre monetizing views so they can justify pulling in more money for advertisers. God forbid you own a brand that you spend a lot of time and effort building a following for just to have FB turn around and tell you "ok, youve got 10,000 followers, thats great... but guess what, now you have to PAY us to show your posts to all of them!"

It took a few years for IG to implement this structure, but low and behold... here we are! a lot of folks do it just for popularity and followers which is a bit narcissistic, however, there are legitimate brands like mine and so many others out there who are required to pay Facebook just so we can reach our audience... its very frustrating in the grand scheme of things

That's nothing new. Online advertising through word of mouth only goes so far.

Look at adwords and SEO and how they took over the web.

It looks like a promoted post which is basically a regular post that will be seen by people outside of your network of followers.

I saw his profile and didn't see anything worth promoting, so it's safe to assume he just trying to get more followers.

Besides the fact that most of the 'backstory' on this car smells incredibly strongly of bullshit, that price on an auto s14 is diw. the fact its been stored and never really been driven is diw. saying that 'you will never find a more loved and cherished 240sx ever' is complete shit and diw. Sure its a unicorn, and the car itself is certainly not diw. The owner and the ad is another story

jesus, 100k and its still an auto and 4 lug.... question: if the final car we are seeing here is a 'display' car that is special this and special that, that gets put in a mahogany box, wouldn't it at least be a SE?

don't you think after taking Nissan to court more than once, you decide that you should get your money back (along with lawyer/court fees) and not try to fight for another car??

Damn, that shit is pristine, no way it's work anywhere near 100k, I'd say 20k is more like it. And still a tough sale because like jumpman says, 4lug auto, base model

My car deserves to be here once again. You know how when you do a 5 lug swap you are supposed to use the matching S14 ball joints with the S14 front spindles? Have no fear, previous owner have a simpler solution, just weld then damn nuts on.
