Hey what's up guys?

I've been into the import scene since around 7th grade haha, I started out at the total opposite of where I wanted to start. My first "vehicle" was a KLR 650 haha. So after tooting around on an enduro for a year and a half I decided enough was enough and to scratch my itch for a nice 240. So after selling my 650, I looked around on clist and picked up an s14 with a 130k on the dash for 3k. It was pretty, only downer was it had an AT tranny and a couple dings here and there, but I finally had the car I wanted. Well let's fast foward to 2 weeks ago, after going to visit my grandparents I hop in the car with my GF and head back towards Esco.

We are heading down 15N by the Rancho Bernardo exit and this asshole in a 1-800-Rentarv RV decided he would just come over into my lane with no signal or anything, well out of instinct I hit the brakes and stupid me forgot I had no ABS, so the tires lock and I slide left then jerk right into the RV. No one was hurt and I was furious at the RV's driver, he didn't check his blind spot and there was no signal and I had no way out other then to brake due to traffic around me.

Well luckily he was insured through the rental company, and the estimate for the damage of my car was more then the KBB on it. So it's totaled. Passenger side front is FUBARED, but at least the frame was unscathed.

I'm recieving around 6k for the settlement and with that I plan on bringing my baby back. Picking up a front clip from an S14 through Gspeed in LA, when I get my money and going from there.

But I'm new to the scene and any pointers would be gladly accepted. Like I said I cruise around Escondido in a black zenki with black se wheels, but for now I drive a New Yorker I'm borrowing .

Hope to see some of you around.

Peace

It says "NO PICTURES" right in the title of the Thread.

Make sure you pay closer attention in the future.

This goes for everyone.

My name is Scott and I live in Detroit MI. Soon enough I'll be a proud owner of a Chuki. I'm in the process of looking for a good platform to wrench on. I have probably read every tutorial/write-up for every modification (modestly speaking) made to a S chassis. Basically, I am obsessed... Anyone in the Metro Detroit/Windsor area need a hand?

What up guys/gals. The name is Michael, I live in Las Cruces, New Mexico and for some...yes, that is in the US lol . Just recently totaled my Z so im on a quest to get back into the 240sx scene. Use to own a black s13 but after getting screwed with a KA motor build i decided to give up on it....just to many prior headaches before the motor build. Ive always missed my s13 and at one point was able to buy it back but didnt which i regret now...not that i knew my car was gonna get totaled but anyhow, hope to relearn everything about the S chassis again and learn new things and to soon build another one.

Hows it going everyone, my name is Jimmy and i live in NYC. I've always been logging on Zilvia but never decided to introduce myself and getting to know everyone. I guess you gotta start somewhere... Currently i own a 96 240sx manual, decided to go crazy on suspension parts last year. Thats done, this year i decided its time for some stopping power, so i decided to go Evo calipers and rear z32s. I've got a fully rebuilt sr20 in my room and just can't find the time to put it in due to work... Hopefully this year all the parts i've been collecting will find its way into the 240...

Uhn, howdy !

My name is Chris, I'm currently a 21 year old college student who owns a 1990 Nissan 240sx ! I've owned it for about 3-4 years. I admit I jumped on the bandwagon after watching Initial D. I bought an RB20 last year, but haven't exactly swapped it out yet. School is ending soon so I'll have time to put it in during summer ! Can't wait - plan on hitting the tracks, just not exactly sure which way to go ( drift, autox).

Will be posting a lot ! Later !
