RS240 left me in his S13 with the keys back in 2000, or 2001.

So naturally I took it for a boot 1989, 5-speed, lowered, STB, exhaust/intake.

Was wood. Hated it. Reminded me a lot of a light Z28 - without the upside of a V8 and NOTHING like my S12.

Haven’t met one I liked yet.

Dude… I think the first one you drove is the car I have now… I bought mine with 110,000 km this summer, and it had one owner… and she was a really old lady… it’s also white and 5-speed.

'93 by the way. Supar mint when I bought it, but now it’s a dirty slut.

The first time I drove a 240sx was in 2000 when one of my customers at work wanted to trade in his 1990 240sx that he had since brand new, never winter drove and always had it serviced at Avenue nissan for a 1998 Camaro SS. I took his car for a drive, I fell in love with it and later on that day the ownership was in my name not the dealerships!..but I always did like them from the time I was young.

I drove my friends S13 years ago… liked it. Bought one 3years ago. Bought 2 more after that, one with a SR, among other cars. I now think that the MR2 is a better car.

The first 240 I actually drove was the one I ended up buying.

It was sooo clean!

Took the car out of the dealerships sight, got into a parking lot. Pulling a nice powerslide, I thought to myself, “Perfect”.

Silly me. But hey, love my car. 😃

first time i drove a 240 was few days before i joined this site, the front passenger side had some suspension damage, like the tension rod, lower control arm, and the tie rod was shaped like a L, with 3 flat tires, and i had to drive it down the street to my friends house, i still loved it tho, as it was my first car. and now i dont even know where that car went. lol

About 7 months ago, there was a little garage around the corner from my house and there was a beautiful 1993 240sx LE. Leatherinterior and mint exterior. I knocked on the door of the place and asked some small jamaican dude whose car it was, and do you know if its for sale?..the guy said it was his and it wasn’t listed anywhere but he would sell it to me for the right price. He soon after handed me the keys and I took off…Came back 20 mins later and I knew I would not be happy with anyother car. I showed up the next day with cash in hand…turned out he totalled it on the way home that previous day, I almost cried lol.
