i duno if this is a repost, but i figure everyone has a reason why they bought their frist nissan. i guess i can start. well i got a 1981 monte carlo, its never been drivin in winter, so i had to buy a beater. I found a vw golf, and it was athe biggest p.o.s, i blew it up in like 3 weeks…then my friend knew a guy selling a 240sx for 1200 i think, i liked it bought it…then found son240sx and relised there is a turbo motor, and did it and now im here, jdm as fuzznuk. what about you? ---

well i dont even need to say what made me buy a nissan. lol. always been my dreams cars. first it was my neighbours 200sx(s14) that i feel in love with. then i saw the 300zx at the local race hangout. then i saw a r33 run on the drag strip and that was pretty much it. i didnt want anything else but a skyline after that. ---

Read the title. Get lost you pickachu punk We moved to Canada when I was 9 and my dad was looking for a used car to drive around. I went on a few viewing with him and saw my 1982 Datsun 200SX. The car had a Voice Activated System (it speaks), it looked really nice, it had a HUGE old cell phone stuck to the dash, and I remember loving the smell of that car a lot. I begged my dad to buy it, and he did. A couple years down the road it was given to me on my Birthday. I loved the car so much but for various reasons I couldn’t drive it much. I went through a few cars that I hated. 1989 Pontiac Bonneville, 1988 Toyota Supra Turbo, 1987.5 Audi Coupe GT, 2000 Dodge Neon, then I finally bought this 1990 Nissan 300ZX after a long hard look for a Kouki S14. When I drove it, I realized that I’m truly all Nissan. ---

I bought my 240 because i couldnt afford an s2k. But seriously, i drove one and i thought to myself. “cant afford an s2k? must have the s13 then!” ---

I only REALLY started getting into cars around the age of 13. I fell in love with my neighbour’s (and sister’s friend’s) Zenki S14. It was auto. And Riced to hell, but it DID look freakin cool. So i did some research and after 4 years I bought an S13. ---

well… i really didn’t think much of the s13 5 years ago, then i got pretty interested in the car and appreciated its potential and affordability. I started to read up on it, researching on different faq’s and specs. I saved up knowing i will need most of the money for maintenance/restoration. Then one day i was at the right place at the right time and i got the keys to my s13. ---
