Giving up the S14... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

LA_phantom_240 · 10-03-2008, 10:38 PM

... but getting something better in return. A guy locally has a very nice 87 FC Turbo-II with only 12k on the rebuilt rotary. Clean interior, clean motor... so I'm trading him my s14, minus the wheels and some of the sound. Pics!

He got in trouble drag racing on a public road, and his parents went ballistic with a ball peen hammer. He's fixing the windshield before we trade.

Whadaya think?

Drive the rotatoe while your saving up money for an ls1 swap.

Yeah its a good swap... but fuck how many Turbo-IIs still roll around?

LongGrain · 10-03-2008, 10:46 PM

Indeed. Very insightful.

JRas · 10-03-2008, 10:56 PM

I'd rather own an S14

but that's me

hope you like it

LA_phantom_240 · 10-03-2008, 10:57 PM

Mine is like a redheaded step child...

YoungGun · 10-03-2008, 11:03 PM

I love FC's minus the interior.

+1 for LSx swap.

Are the owners parents really that crazy?

Pank · 10-03-2008, 11:21 PM

juice.def · 10-03-2008, 11:22 PM

lol what in the fuck
thats a new one i havent heard.
GOOD parents

***CrimsonRockett*** · 10-04-2008, 12:39 AM

^Seriously.

I think if my parents ever went ape shit and did something to my car, someone would die, no questions asked.

But, for a legit reason like that, kid deserved it.

junn · 10-04-2008, 12:58 AM

if you get it you gotta do the LS1 swap.....ive been in one and the touque is GREAT....bump 1 for the fc....-1 bump for the rotary they suck

240kidd · 10-04-2008, 01:04 AM

ls swap! no questions asked! but I would keep my s14

Lies. I've only sold one set of wheels, and it was to a guy locally.

meh, not a fan. woulda kept the 14.

projectRDM · 10-04-2008, 08:25 AM

I love FCs, but you got to get the later model tails, they look better. I'd also paint that gaudy ass black strip around the car to match, I never understood the late 80s craze to put a big piece of black moulding on every car made. Looks like shit.

Agreed on the trim. Of course, I just wanna paint the car and get the trim fixed and pretty and make the car look like new for Import Faceoff later this month. After that, I'm putting my wheels on it. I love the early model FC tails...

Matej · 10-04-2008, 10:15 AM

What's wrong with your S14?
If it runs, you're losing money on this trade.

sirhc · 10-04-2008, 10:27 AM

No! Don't do it!

xplicit240 · 10-04-2008, 10:39 AM

DO IT! i always said it was either s13 or FC. gotta love the hatch / liftbacks. besides everyone has to own a rotary atleast once.

then start a build thread about the FC! im considering getting one as well. a vert!

***S14DB*** · 10-04-2008, 10:48 AM

Straight up trade for something ~10yrs older? Doesn't make sense to me...

trey21096 · 10-04-2008, 10:48 AM

I started out with an 88' non-turbo. Still miss that car. But even if I was to come along a turbo-II I'd never go back. Those cars are so fragile. I ripped the rear-end outta mine twice. Split the mounting completely in half the second time and I was even being that hard on it. Besides, you probably already know what your going to do, why ask us?
If you have any love for your S14 though, keep in mind his parents+ball peen hammer= windshield

And by the way, I'm 22 and live at home. If my parents ever tried to take a hammer to my car we'd be in court, either on assault charges against me or me suing them...

Dousan_PG · 10-04-2008, 11:48 AM

singlecamslam · 10-04-2008, 12:00 PM

Pics of your s14? I would never trade an s14 for an RX7 unless its 93 and up.

JVD · 10-04-2008, 12:01 PM

Ummm... ya that car is a pile of shit.

S14's are way cooler.

xplicit240 · 10-04-2008, 12:20 PM
