okay, so i have 2 240s and read this board all the time, and these fucking names piss me off. here is my rant about these homosexual names.
zenki
i’m confused as hell as to which one belongs to which car, and i’m also confused as to why people insist on using them to confuse people.
my understanding from all these contradicting posts naming different cars different things is that all 89-90 240s are zenki, all 91-94 240s are chukis, all 95-97 240s are zenkis again for some reason, then all 98-99s are koukis?
and my friend thinks similar, but that zenki and such is like a special edition of that year, and that only cars that came with the zenki lip are zenkis or something.
these names are ridiculous. its not a zenki lip, its a fucking 89 or 90 lip so say that. you didn’t convert your car to a chuki front end, you put a bumper from a 92 nissan 240sx onto your 90 nissan 240sx.
what is the origin/reasoning behind these names, other than to sound like you’re jdm tight? and you can’t tell me that its easier to type out zenki than it is to type 89 as its less than half the letters.
i have a 1992 nissan 240sx, no where does it say chuki on the damn car. it does however say 1992, nissan and 240sx so that is what i will call it. now if my car was actually called a nissan chuki instead of 240sx, i would call it a chuki, however i would feel like i’m taking it up the ass every time i do because that word is really fucking gay
so thats my rant, you jdm people may now mock my for being a n00b or something since i don’t think i’ll actually get a real reason for these names.
/bitterness
hahaha i remember when i was 100% noobie like you. I was mad at a lot of things and didn’t GET a lot of things, how these cars are made, their history and what not. Anywayz, you gotta understand that you DONT know everything, no one does, so instead of causing a rant why didnt you just simply ask someone?
…" hey do you know what the meaning of these names are, zenki, chuki and kouki? I dont know what they mean can you please explain to me and pass me over some of your knowledge? "
