i got a 1997 240sx! its 5 speed and its leather. found it on autotrader and went there the next day. I live in San Diego and I'm pretty lucky because there were already a few people that were going to buy it from LA and camp pendleton but when i went there it just wasnt sold yet so... I got it. i have no pic but ill post some later but its still on autotrader if that helps...

Sweet car man...I have the same car practically.  Mine's a 97 240sx 5sp se w/leather and cobalt green just like yours.  Good thing I'm located in TX though...don't want to have a twin running around near by.  Congrats on the purchase, and have some fun.

Wow thats expensive... but damn nice... Blue is my fav!  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
Do you plan on modding it? If so what and when... Good luck with it.

well actually its cobalt green like tyler mentioned. good thing he is all the way in texas though... hah. its not that expensive its just about the right price. i already got some rockford fosgate speakers, most of my bulbs, and an alarm system. Next month i plan on getting eibach sportline springs, intake, exhaust, and tint and im just gonna leave it at that for a while. then when i can afford it im gonna get the Silvia wing and front bumper... and whatever after... yeah :!:

I bought a Black 95 240SX SE about a month ago.  It's got the 5-speed gearbox.  Got a great deal on it too.  But the best thing about this car is that since I have gotten it, I have yet to see one like it.

First off... welcome and congrats!  the 97-98 is the only s14 i'd get <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

However, regarding the sportlines... if you plan to use them with your stock shocks, be prepared for their life expectancy to be DRASTICALLY reduced due to the large drop they provide... you'll also need a camber kit or you'll be going through tired at an unhealthy pace.

Just keep away from the riceboy products and you'll have lots of friends here... if you start talkin stickers, neon and other such "all show, no go" parts with any regularity, the flame wars WILL run rampant  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

Congrats on your new ride, remember, there are fewer s-chassis cars all the time... to a certain degree, you as an individual reflect upon the 240/180/silvia community as a whole; make us proud <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I live in San Diego..just look for the Black Prelude with the bumper sticker that says "I brake for Red Lights"....i dont see that many green 240s round here....youll be easy to spot.. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

you see a multi colored S14 (blue/black), that would be mine..

I havent seen the yellow one though. seems to be nonexistant.

Whereabouts in San Diego are you?

MrMigs · 07-23-2002, 01:28 AM
