Nissan doesn't like Cupholders - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

180sxmaniac · 09-09-2013, 09:39 PM

When you look at the Z32,350z,180sx,Silvia's, and Skylines only the S15 came with oem cupholders which were located imo in the perfect place. 350z had a cool location for a cup holder if your sitting in the passenger seat but it's not ideal for the driver. Seems odd to me considering all these cars were manufactured from 89 to the early 2000s yet only one car had cup holders.... Dear Nissan what's up with that?

mechanicalmoron · 09-09-2013, 09:51 PM

Sports cars don't need cupholders.

I would guess it was nissan apologists on the design teams, trying to build sports cars as nissan tried to castrate them every step of the way. So, they said fuck cupholders.

Of course, it didn't work, because with the rest of the cars castrated, not having cupholders doesn't make our cars more serious, just more frustrating.

No cup holders... Becauseracecar lol

he is selling them. PM him, I believe he still has them.

I almost bought them form him, but ended up going with 180 mats instead.

this is something that only americans would complain about

at least its not like the vw cup holders that look like they are a great place to stow your piping hot coffee until you accelerate and it launches it directly into you lap like a friggin sling shot.

BossHogg · 09-10-2013, 08:07 AM

No food or drinks allowed in my ride. Use a bottle. Then you need no holder. Pretty simple really. Open containers are just waiting to be spilled. Cup holders are for luxury. Buy a caddy. They usually just get filled with pennies anyways lol.

Nobody likes 'that guy' who refuses to let people eat/drink in their car.

You're right.

I solve this by not letting people in my car.

They all slam the shit out of my doors anyways.

I've considered making one of those, but have not gotten around to it. At least it's big enough for a 12oz can, I sometimes put them there. (if that was half the price, I'd be ordering it at this moment)

Yes, it looks like I have four seats, but you literally cannot sit in the back seat, and no I will not let you try. Don't fuck with my seatbelt, just sit there, it will work. No music, because I have to listen to my car. Learn to appreciate that the rear end rumbles, reverberates, and thumps. Also, it's bumpy as fuck, becausepretendracecar.

BossHogg · 09-10-2013, 10:04 AM

Lol my interior costs more than most peoples 240s all together. You have a kitchen to eat in. Or a restaurant. If my car had shit jank stock interior like the majority of this place then go ahead.

Well if you drive from LA to SD for work everyday and it's in the high 80s/low 90s it be pretty hard to make that round trip everyday without some water in the car.

And what type of car are you talking about might I ask?

Only poor people should be worried.

Cloth stains.

Leather can be wiped off with the quickness.

all that money and u could afford to put in some cup holders

dawagarage · 09-10-2013, 11:16 AM

you forgot about the z32!
i really wish i had a place to puy my coffee (or large slurpee on these hot days.)
ive seen this insert on yaj

which would be too small for many american sized drinks/cups/etc but could also easily be made (and made bigger) instead of importing.

ive also seen a 2 cup holder that inserts where the Z's ashtray is...
both of these are horrible locations imo because they get in way of shifting.

when i remember ill look for a universal one that i can install somewhere near the center console. one that is sturdy yet not very obtrusive or requiring me to drill into the dash/etc.

as for 'only americans complaining about...' that might be true. but part of the reason is... japan is small as fuck compared to the states (or A state.) they dont have many places to drive, as well. you know how americans love their road trips. (plus japans efficient public/mass transit systems, etc)

plus owning a car, driving, fuel, etc is so much more costly over there.

driving in Japan is very expensive that's why most people take the train,walk,bike to work. I have a buddy in Okinawa his dad makes over 6figs a year and his dad just bought a kcar...go figure

Complaining about cup holders. . . you mean you actually allow drinks in your car? 0_o

Sorry, but the interior in my car is mint for it being 16 years old and having 204k miles.
