Seriously I dunno anyone in their right mind that would go out and buy a brand new car and do something as stupid as drifting with it. Such a pointless way to fuck up a nice car.

As a correction, Nissan had nothing to do with the Juke-R and was actually against it. Company in Aussy land did everything to both Juke-Rs.

As a correction to the correction...Nissan of JAPAN had nothing to do with it. Nissan of Europe and RML Group crafted the vehicle. Just sayin

simmode1 · 04-02-2012, 01:19 PM

I thought it was absolutely hilarious that the Juke-R actually weighed MORE than the actually donor GTR... #lolpointlessfail

In terms of a car model name, yes.

If you look at the car's purpose and price, inexpensive performance car, it is very similar to a 240sx.

I believe new 240sx's were selling in the low to mid $20,000 in the 90s. If you adjust a growing economy and inflation, that is $30-35,000 in today's dollar. Z's have held their value much better after 10 years than a 240sx, but if you consider what your getting, a Z is a much better performer to a 240sx as well.

^^
This is absolutely true, I'm looking for one myself right now.

Matej · 04-02-2012, 04:02 PM

The Aston Martin V12 Vantage is the 240SX successor.

CleanAndLegit · 04-02-2012, 04:06 PM

Both are pointless fat fails, but who am I to judge.

Bullshit.

Cars don't appear out of thin air.

nomoremk2 · 04-03-2012, 07:44 AM

Why is anyone holding on for a new 240? Fuck the s chassis. Nissan gave you the Z33, They can be had for cheap enough. I don't understand the fanboy obsession with the s chassis. It's been dead for a long time and there are a ton of other, better platforms for any kind of build you may be doing.

KiLLeR2001 · 04-03-2012, 07:49 AM

Q1 2015 new Silvia will emerge.

Don't inform them, then the z's will get turned into giant piles of shit moreso than is already happening at a shitty rate

Matej · 04-03-2012, 11:44 AM

Who cares how the Z drives if I cannot see where I am going through the claustrophobic prison-sized windows.
Not only that, but I find the Z33 and Z34 to be quite repulsive in the looks department. Here is to hoping this will be a better decade for automotive styling, as the 00's brought about a terrible slump in my opinion. Although my hopes are not high.

RiversideS13 · 04-03-2012, 12:10 PM

i disagree with the new ft-86 is new 240sx because i think most of drifter wanna be out there cannot afford one. i agree 350z is more similar in the category as a used one and parts are relatively affordable.

CleanAndLegit · 04-03-2012, 12:13 PM

we shall see i suppose, id go for the brz fuck the frs

fyneyoungstunna · 04-03-2012, 03:57 PM

lets not get Z and S mixed up. I know they are similar looking letters, but it ends THERE.

Welcome to modern car safety. I doubt the BRZ is much better. Ever driven a TT?

The least safest car sold today is safer than the best of the best from 15 years ago. A 2012 Kia Rio will protect you better than a 1998 BMW 740il.

The reason modern cars have gun slit windows is to offer more side protection and an improvement in chassis structure.

Get used to the idea, its not going away anytime soon.

You have not spent much time around both, have you.

The Z, Skyline and Silvia have always shared a lot in common.

And everything else RWD that the US is not good enough to get...ie Cefiros, Laurels, Glorias, etc...

fyneyoungstunna · 04-03-2012, 07:10 PM

My reply was in response to that mainly.
But, yeah they may share some small mechanical parts, but so to a ton of other car brands. But again, THAT is were it ends. A 240 will never be what a Z....(32) is!

word sux · 04-03-2012, 07:57 PM

I really want to see some derpa derp get a brz brand new then come and stuff it into a wall at an event this year and try to report it to their insurance
