Howdy all name's Jeremy. Just getting back into the 240 game after being gone for a few years. Had a 90' S13 coupe in high school (electrical problems out the butt), then got a 98' S14 (same issue). Sold them years ago, just bought a 92' hatch a month ago as a project car. KA was locked up, bought a RB20 currently rebuilding, and converted all interior to black from the poop brown stock. Learning as I'm working on it.

Hey guys, my name is Bobby and I'm new to the whole forum thing! I just made accounts for the 240sxforums, nicoclub, and zilvia with the same username. I'm 20 years old and from Upstate New York. I grew up around my dad and his buddies who used to build street (drag) cars, and I was surrounded by that for a part of my life. I got my first job and decided to build one of my own. It turned into a nightmare and it sits on the side of the garage now.. I just recently came across an 89' 240SX pignose with a SR20DET swap, I was actually looking for either an AE86, swapped FC3S, or 240 as a daily street drift car. My dad is a mechanic and he's pretty skilled with body work. This car will be a learning process for the both of us, but even more so for me haha. I'd like to learn more and not be so dependent on having the help of my dad. I'm a broke college kid, so I guess this would be considered a budget build, but I do have a few ideas on the end result. Oh and also, I don't know how to drive standard, so learning and seeing how far I've come with the build and driving skill will definitely be a party! The car needs some work and I'd be more than happy to share the journey with you guys. Knowledge is power, and that is why I am here!!!

s15 Hi All!

Hi Guys, I'm new to the S chassis game and am interested in buying my first Silvia. I'm 22 working as a trainee panel beater in New Zealand. I've always loved the look of silvias so i am starting to save for a S15. I should be able to afford one in about 1 Year. Hoping to get it before that but i don't want to take out a loan because i want to 100% own it from the moment i drive it away.

If you got any questions feel free to ask as i will be happy to answer for you.

Have a great day everyone.

What's up everyone. I'm new here. I just picked up a 1993 240sx base model. I always liked this car and I finally found one that was in good shape and the price was reasonable as well. the interior is a horrid brown color but I'm slowly piecing together black interior pieces.. Whatever parts I don't find in OEM black, I'll just end up painting myself with SEM paint

What's up folks? Based in CA and new to this forum. Diehard s30 guy and Nissan enthusiast for over 20 years.

With fond memories of an old friend's s14, My wife and I realized if we ever want to get into one, we had better start looking, before the unmolested originals are all gone. So I'm here as a potential s14 owner, lurking, reading, and learning the right questions to ask when it comes time.

New guy from Hawaii. Mainly here for classifieds and research. Cars owned are 1989 mightymax with mods and a 2003 lancer evolution. Gf has a 1990 240sx fastback, reason for registering. This thing is a pain to figure out reasoning how things must work a certain way. I have a good itrader rating on evolutionm and would be better if everyone left a comment though. Looking forward for future knowledge and will help if i can.

Hey all. Name is Steve from the Nashville area (Murfreesboro). I have lurked the Zilvia boards for a while so I figured it was finally time to contribute. Just bought the third S13 that I've owned. 93 Vert. Bought it from a middle aged man who got about 3/4th's of the way through restoring it. Plans are to finish restoring it back to showroom floor new and then see which direction we want to head after that. Thanks in advance for the knowledge that's contained and shared here. Y'all da real MVPs.

Hello, my name is Mike and I'm from Buffalo.
I've wanted an s chassis since high school and recently made that a reality. I wanted an s13 for my first car and I'm driving it home wednesday from the fingerlakes to Buffalo.
Its going to be a project, but its bone stock.... (actually less than stock since the rear wing was deleted when he painted It candy red and the exhaust is now a new AutoZone downtip gross ugly ftw grandma crew exhaust)

I also would like to add that I purchased this car yesterday.
Today I had my friend drive me to the mall to buy a gps (for a speedo since mine thinks I'm going 80mph in second gear and I'm driving it 200 miles Wednesday) in his shitty v8 Dakota with an open header leaking carbon monoxide into the cab at low speeds for a half hour/ 40 minutes.

You can imagine what happens next...

I started tripping out really hard and had all different types of toxicity symptoms and almost called the ambulance thinking it was another issue.

my face, neck, back, shoulders... hands and arms and legs would go numb and all I could think was, "Damn I just bought an s13 and now I'm going to be paralyzed again."

maybe this was too personal but after THAT... I now have more drive to get this project done. I need to do frame rail repair and brakes and other little things. Then start nodding SO EXCITE.

What's going down everyone,

I'm Nick from Chicago. I've always wanted an s-chassis since riding in my cousins sr20 swapped Kouki when I was 10. 14 years later, and I have myself an s13 coupe that needs some loving. Finishing up my KA-T now, then onwards to body work .

I'm Kris, Lurked for a long time, never posted. Not new to the scene but technically new to the site. Drive an R32 sedan from BC Canada, daily and drift car along with a couple shitty 4x4's, probably wont post much, but might throw my build thread up here off the local site it's currently residing on. You'll see me at meets, shows and events in the PNW as much as possible

Been a long time creeper, but just recently finished my S15 Build. Hoping to take over and win Tuner battlegrounds! even though the competition is steeeeep. I'm trying!

Names Curtis, 99 Silvia spec r that started as a bare shell and turned into a complete running driving car in 2 months. Mostly built for a FUN AS HELL street car, but I'm sure will hit a track soon!
