I'll admit I fell in love with the looks before I knew anything about the car. Then I started researching and learned so much, I had to look for one. Then once I test-drove one, I knew I had to buy one.

drove up to the Nissan dealer in 1989 in my 240z parked it. got out went and test drove a 240sx Hatch. I was blown away at the stock capabilities of the car in the handling department. Needless to say I kept driving the z until 92 then I bought a Hardbody pickup. Drove it till 1999 when I replaced it with my 89 240sx hatch because I had moved to socal and needed a car with ac and I wanted to get back in rwd sports cars. Figured I might as well get something a little more modern than a 240z.
Still love 240z's and will build another one but the S13 hatch is one hell of a car imho.

My dad made a bet with me that I couldn't get into art school OR get a 3.6 GPA...
I did both, and he still almost con-ed me into taking my moms car until we found out it takes way to long to ship because I was starting school in 3 days. So, he said I had 2 days to find a car, and I did, although it was automagic, I don't really mind. Whenever I get mad at the auto tranny I just go downtown during rush hour traffic and remind myself how much I love my left leg. Originally I wanted an FC, but pops was in control of my old insurance cash and he didn't want me to have a rotary experiment, so #2 on on my list was the 240. Now the #1 car on my list is the 240 ^_^, but I still want an FC sometime in the future, or possibly a rotary 240sx... renesis in a S13.......

4 and a half years ago, i knew nothing about the 240sx, hell, i didn't even know it existed. i admit, I was a madd honda fan. but i had a friend who knew lots about cars and everything, and i overheard him saying "maybe i should get a 240sx" and i thought to myself, hmmm... "240sx eh???". well ya kno, there must be something good about the damn car if he's thinkin of gettin it! one day, when i turned 16 and got my license, i was looking in the papers for a 240sx and found a 5-speed 89 fastback. wow, I had to go take a look! i don't even know what the damn car looks like! when i got there, i said to myself, "wow, that must be it right there. looks nice and sporty. i like, i like *evil grin*." well, 3 days later, I bought that car. the problem was, I didn't know how to drive a stick. hahaha. SO, i had a friend of mine bring it home. and yes, he test drove it for me before i bought it. peeled out like crazy, i like even more =P~~. well yea, so now it's sitting in my garage for about a week now, and I don't know how to drive it yet (never tried). as a sophomore in high school, i thought, i need to take this baby out! so i asked my friend to verbally teach me how to drive it. one day, went home and took it out myself. only took half hour to get the hang of it. well, okay okay i'll stop now! but seriously, me owning this car was fate, cause i knew nothing about it. 4 years later, i just installed my stage 2 clutch =)

I bought my car because its what I always wanted since I first owned a car. My dad made me buy a beat up 85' 300ZX when I was 16 (I was dumb/young and wanted my moms Cavalier ), we fixed it up and turned it into a really nice car, since then I've been enthralled with Z's and looked at the Z32 as the ultimate Z. I loved the looks/power/everything about the Z32 so I saved and unfortunatly got shipped overseas for 2 years thus delaying me from buying a 300ZXtt but I got to buy a S13 and save more and also let Z32's depreciate alittle more Anyway I forgot what this thread was about.... oh yeah I'm a stubborn bastard now who will only buy Nissan and 300ZX is the car I wanted since I was a wee lad.

Um, actually, i bought mine by a fluke. after HATING my '91 Turbo AWD Talon for 6 months (thats all i could stand it), i said screw it, i'm not buying another high-maintenance sports car until after college(i was in my HS senior year), i'll just get a nice comfy car. I was looking at Honda Accords and stumbled across my baby...Drove it, loved it, checked it out online (mad props to this forum for showing me that the car is pretty reliable and insanely capable/upgradable), and went to the bank. My dad was kinda pissed ("I thought you said no more sports cars"), but he likes it too. Good deal.

I used to have a supercharged '97 Maxima, and I always hated the fact that it was an automatic. I had the manual tranny sitting in my garage for the longest while I was trying to beat the auto tranny to death before the swap. Somewhere down the line I blew the head gasket and decided to just call it quits on the Max. I decided to bring it back to stock form and sell all of the aftermarket parts. At the time, my cousin was driving a '95 240sx, which I thought was really cool. I started looking for a 5-spd Max and my cousin was helping me find a 5-spd S14. Luckily, 2 weeks after blowing my Maxima head gasket, I bought my white Zenki S14 for $5700 by an old couple that took really good care of one. Ever since, I've been spending a lot of money on it buying this and that for it and I don't regret giving up the Max because the S14 with parts is still cheaper and faster than my Max will ever be. I like how rare the S14 is. The handling is good, and I definetely like the looks of the car. That's why I chose the S14.

I went out to the street races here in seattle with my turbo F22 prelude "accord powered baby" =P
when i asked the little guy in the blue 240 coupe with a silvia front end conversion why he didnt run "didnt know what a silvia was, and didnt care" he said drag racing was for pussies. i asked him what he did that was so badass. he said ... "get in" drifting 101 so, when a F-250 ran the lude over, there was no choice but a 240. i dreamed about the sheer controll in the face of chaos that he showed me was possible with the car. I had dreams of drifting becuase of that one ride. So when i bought my 91 base hatch "i mean base, no anything at all. no ac, no CC no ANYTHING" suprised it had powerstearing lol "striped weighed in at 2590 lbs without me" So i got the car for 2900 bucks and have loved my car with its truck like KA eversince ... it did feal different. forgot his car had a 300 horse SR in it. lol "didnt thay all come with that?" ya should of known lol

I was a muscle car head for quite a while,I am 17 years old,and have owned 2 other cars and 1 shit-ass truck before I got my S13 FB,and ...yeah...my first car was a small block 71 Chevelle Malibu,and I sold that to get a somewhat built 302 powered T-bird,and that was going to be a major project car,I traded a disc brake kit for my old chevelle(sold at the time) for the car,and a freind offered alot of $$ for the bird,so I let her go..then I had that truck...ANYWAY...I got my 240sx b/c...
Its faster than most hondas,and has EXCELLENT buildability My girlfreind hates that I race,and I can't afford another ticket,so I wanted something that I wouldn't have to race,or speed to have fun in,I always have fun driving my S13 Its a nissan!(DUH!) Its "pimp" and "badass" I can drag race it,I can touge it,I can drift it,I can pimp it out,I can show it ...what can't I do with it !?? I love my KA,I'm very passonate about it ! |
