hi fellow zilvia otaku, (means geek in japan) i just picked up my first coupe after looking for 2 years. really lucked out, i just saw it on the street never seen it before n left on the windshield saying i wanted to buy it. she hit me up friday and i bought it today for dirt cheap.

color. creamy corn yellow?
built.
hud. yes working
sunroof. hell yes
auto. yes ouch
luggage rack wing. yes. priceless

are my rims stock?

KiLLeR2001 · 04-14-2013, 12:27 AM

I'm breaking my neck trying to look at that picture so here...

Is this your first 240sx? Creamy yellows are extremely rare and if you're new to 240sx's that is a bad idea. I'd hate to see something happen to it as it looks to be in good condition.

mr nissan · 04-14-2013, 01:36 AM

killer2001 dude sorry for the neck cramp. how did u fix it? ur da man!!!!

i had a 240 vert before. i gotta long list to fix yi

Duke89 · 04-14-2013, 08:56 AM

Wow very jelly of how clean your creamy yellow is. I wish mine was half that clean

KiLLeR2001 · 04-14-2013, 01:14 PM

I just accessed the VIN# database for 240sx's and here is production color results I found for our beloved two-tones...

Platinum Blue Two-Tone: 3720
Silver Green Two-Tone: 2286
Creamy Yellow Two-Tone: 686

Making a total of 6692 two-tones for the US.

edit:

Fixed Platinum Blue Two-Tone numbers.

That luggage rack though! That is the first time I have seen one on a 240, our trunks are already huge. You could rally the shit out of it, I'm sure it rides nice like a caddy.

im not saying your wrong because i just really don't know. but i feel like the numbers are off by quite a bit those numbers would leave room for ALOT of the other colors and i just feel like they arnt "THAT" rare.

Fearell · 04-15-2013, 05:04 PM

You should take it to a body shop because your quarter panel is full of mud.

Over 3000 Platinum Blues, about 2000 Silver greens, and 600+ Creamy Yellows. Compared to the total number of 216,595 S13 240sx's created, they are rare. Have you ever seen 3000 cars together at once? That is still A LOT of cars. I have a 203 MB database file of every Nissan VIN# and the details about each individual car. Searching the entire S13 240sx section for unique paint codes to get these numbers. And how I know they are close to accurate is because the total number of cars produced is very close to the production number values which can be found online from multiple sources.

And back to the two-tone...

Well I hope your right lol just makes me that more proud to own a creamy yellow

206sx · 04-17-2013, 01:53 AM

Bought this off an older guy. He knew exactly what he had and took very good care of it. An 89 XE Model, 5 speed with only 157k miles on it. Everything is all stock aside from the wheels and air filter. No cracks in the dash and no tears in the seats. Not a single thing missing from the car.

KiLLeR2001 · 04-17-2013, 12:08 PM

Whipped together a quick video of my car, tell me what you guys think!

206sx · 04-17-2013, 12:35 PM

very clean coupe

zooopreme · 04-17-2013, 01:05 PM

Spotted a Silvia front green/gray two tone driving (with some damage on the side) in the Valley. You drove right by cops with that loud ass bov/exhaust, surprised you didn't get pulled over, lol.

Nizmology · 04-21-2013, 03:21 PM

anybody with a coupe, what car covers have you found that are specifically fitted?

caspa · 04-21-2013, 05:40 PM

Does anyone here have a picture of a 2-tone s13 couple with a 180sx type x bumper??!

Preservation society? Pretty sure a car cover would be encompassed by the overarching theme of "preserving" our two tones.

That's the first iv seen. And completely just made up my mind to not do it lol. I was on the fence about it since I had never seen one. And now I know for sure lol

caspa · 04-21-2013, 11:11 PM

That picture is actually photo shopped. But hey! I think you should still go ahead and try it out. Maybe you could be our guinea pig in our experiment. You'll be the first person to ever have a 2-toned s13 coupe with a 180sx type bumper. It might possibly look awesome in real life, but we'll never now until someones tries it out.
