Got a KA truck Flywheel(larger surface area) and got the clutch and did it. TY was still talking to Tilton and whatnot to get a High end 280zx(same surface area as the KA truck flywheel) flywheel for his setup. I had the flywheel lightened and it made my 19k mileage KA come alive.

Of course I put quite a bit of mileage on it and it got totaled at 36k by a hit and run driver when it was parked in August 2002. At that point I had also been bitten by the SR bug and wanted to swap out to a SR. Needless to say that course of events put me on a spree of buying 240's over the years.

My current car is my last build though and all I can say is now that its moving towards completion, I love the car again.

I will say its people Like Diego, Ken Flores, Marco Vargas, Omar, Harp, Mike Mamos,Glen Sato,Sam Chang, Ray, Amanda,Kevin,Mikey Jurado,
and even a few newer people that made it worthwhile.

well i had a 96 R33 back in 2004 i think it was, didnt get any pics of it though due to not haveing it long enough lol

but bought and built an 83 AE86

But then bought a 92 180SX in 2005 (for $500) to pull the engine and mail home and install in my current S13.

jpadilla12 · 08-13-2009, 07:13 AM

Here is my 240sx back in 2005. The start of a long project.

dhsil80 · 08-13-2009, 07:42 AM

the first car i bought was a white s13 hatch back in 92 from the dealership It had 14 miles when i took delivery of it back then there was barely anything out there for that car, but i managed to drop it with a lowering spring kit from this company called Jamex, and got 16 Konig Tuners and added a Dynomax muffler with a 3 inch tip i have one pic, i'll post later, car got stolen, i think i would still have it

VROOOM · 08-13-2009, 11:56 AM

cars from 2005 shouldnt be in this thread. 2005 = bandwagon no offense to anyone, but thats the way it is.

Homer_Simpson · 08-13-2009, 12:06 PM

I was looking at my S14's title the other night, it showed June 2002. I still remember picking up the poor thing from its previous owner. Found gummy bears and all sort of crap in it. Took my wife (then g/f) a whole day to clean it up. Unfortunately I never took any picture of it stock, but it looks exactly like this without a sun roof.

(picture from the pic request thread, not my car)
To this day my wife still don't want me to sell the car.

Shit more like Pre-2003, 2003 is the widely accepted year when the Dorifto craze went mainstream in the states. Thank you D1GP for fucking it all up for most of us.

NeedCAforS13 · 08-14-2009, 07:25 AM

He might have been thinking of Rock's old RHD S14. It was also east coast (Florida) and white... and it was around in 2002.

brings back memories, caught the 240SX fever near the end of the tail end of the OG generation.

Class of 1999/2000 here.

I have a JSPEC.COM sticker on my car still.

I was in the Toyota Cressida (Mark II) scene while all the OG's were in the 240's. Then I switched over after realizing how expensive my 1jz swap was going to be and went with a 240 and started an SR swap that was almost just as much (4 months later).

Leo-kun · 08-14-2009, 03:37 PM

Well I'm definately far from OG.

I bought my first s13, hell my first car, a little over a week ago.

First time I saw an s13 was back in JP around 04? Thought they looked cool.

aNskY · 08-14-2009, 05:21 PM

at all the 15-20 year olds even posting in this thread. you are not an OG.

So why the fuck are you posting in here? Stop trying to be with the cool kids in the back of the bus... :ghey:

Ahhsk · 04-06-2010, 10:24 PM

Nice thread. I remember hanging out with the unstable Hybrids crew of Jason, Jake, Dennis, & Scott. Met Russ, Murph, Brandon, and many many others in a Dave and Busters around 01 02 time frame. I remember going through lots and lots of Yokohama ES 100 tires. Aus Pous Seyas!

I do not know but apparently he missed the memo about this being the old school thread as in people who have been around since 2001 or before.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 04-07-2010, 07:05 AM

The good old days of not having any coilovers available in the US market. Where you'd have to sell your first born to get them imported from Japan and having to wait forever to get them.

NeedCAforS13 · 04-07-2010, 07:13 AM

The good old days definitely sucked from a parts standpoint. Now you can get stuff for way cheaper from all the kids who jumped on the bandwagon then ran out of money... at least in Florida. I'm building my current car for half the price of my 2002 car build, and I have much better parts this time around. Also helps that I'm not a broke college student anymore :P

It was nice to drive around and not have people follow you or flag you down to talk about 240sx's though... just because we drive the same car doesn't make us instant best friends.

there, fixed it for ya

lol

If you've never ordered anything from PDM,
aren't on the socal240sx.org mailing list,
attended Shine Street or know Marco Vargas then
you probably haven't been around long enough in Socal

OBEEWON · 04-07-2010, 10:54 AM

Oh yeah... This thread.

I remember '02. I was rocking a turbo SAAB and saving for a white Zenki. The thing was $6,500. Holy macaroni.

VROOOM · 04-07-2010, 11:39 AM

i payed $6500 for my 1989 240sx back in 1996.

s14unimog · 04-07-2010, 12:38 PM

This is the reason I wish I was able to get into 240's sooner. I think I was just barely old enough to see Russ losing his interest in this "community". The SR20 was gaining popularity and the guys at Balanced weren't using Chris May's pictures in the front room anymore. I got one opportunity to ride in Russ's Blue car when MOG Nissan was first built and thought that the power he had was unreal; I think you said it made 170. Its taken me 6 years to get where I am today and I have developed a very real respect for you guys. I wouldn't dare post a picture of my car in here, but to any one who's arguing with the original guys, you just don't understand how different it really was...

Russ, I appreciate everything you've ever helped me on.

A side note, someone mentioned not building these cars without a garage. Its a fact, I don't feel safe leaving my 240 anywhere; I've read to many stolen s-chassis horror stories....

OBEEWON · 04-07-2010, 12:41 PM

You just blew my mind right there.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 04-08-2010, 08:07 AM

Shit, sad thing...I bought my 97 back in late 2000, right after basic training for $13.5k. Sold it in late 2006, after throwing in over $20k into it from the last 2 yrs of it, for the same fucking price I paid for it, $13.5k.

D.Adams · 04-08-2010, 09:12 AM

ill add the this. This was my first car in 2000 bought this car from a lady down the street for $1700. Had 78,000 miles on it. left her stock for a long time.

Ca_laurier · 04-08-2010, 09:33 AM

talk about memory lane. i bought my car when i turned 17. Everyone made fun of me saying i bought a womens car, esspecially since my friends mom drove one. People used to bash me for liking drifting (calling it wannabe racing) and than BAM D1 hit and everyone loved my car. Used to go to the old army base and clutch kick the shit out of that car.

can't find my original picture. but this was from 2004, just after d1 hit north america
