funny that two of my cars are nissan now. well.. i had the 240sx since last year but never did anythig to it until my tl was gone.

if i didn't get the fx35 and waited few more months, i probably ended up with the new ZDX. its only acura with the design that i like right now.

and acura has the best navi for sure. i hate the one in my infiniti right now. its useless once the car is in motion.

that is one clean 240sx! that was my first car in high school! my friends didn't like riding in it because i'm 5'11'' and you know there's no space in the backseats haha. love the mods you did to it.. especially the tails and removing that ugly white strip on the sides of the car. did you sell your aspec wheels by any chance? =)

yea i sold aspecs right after getting ame tracers


at first, i missed driving sporty sedan and fun of modding. but that gap was filled after i started modding 240sx. also fx35 is pretty nimble for a suv and this thing sticks to the road with 265/50/20 tires while being comfortable. so now i don't miss at all

no silvia conversion for me. they are getting played out now. but i'll be doing a sr20det swap around next year for sure. hopefully i get to find a good blacktop for reasonable price.

and you should go for coupe!! fastback is still popular than the coupe overall but i started to see many ditching fastbacks to get into coupe these days. my first 240sx was a hatch too but i just love the coupe now.

1989 240sx base
