Age of 240 owners these days

[S14toRPS13]

I'm close to 30 and it seems to me, most 240 owners these days are under 20. I know a lot of people's taste changes as they get older, so they've moved onto luxury cars or higher end sport cars. 240's holds a high sentimental value to me because I've been driving them since 16. I'll probably buy a used C5 or C6 Corvette as my grown up car and share the duties with my 240. Just wondering what's the age of most 240 owners here on NICO.

most of the guys around me are either in or just out of high school, or in the navy about 25 me thinks and dont really know what they're doing with the car, im 23 and married if that makes any difference

[ca18detgabby]

then again I got my "all growd up" g35 too...

I turns 31 tomorrow. Luckily, my car buddies don't act like all the drifto-fanboi-whatever crowd. Just love our 240s.

I love my 240 for what it is. Lightweight, rwd, fun and fast car. I hate the image that a lot of kids have given to the 240 these days . Most 240's I see are primered, dented up, and have different colored body panels. Just like how an ugly house brings down the value of an entire neighborhood, ugly 240's kills the image of all other 240's. There was a short time when it was prestigious to own a 240.

Exactly why I won't get rid of it. I'll keep driving this car until my hip breaks and I can't use the clutch. Then I'll swap in an auto.

i'm 16 & noooo i'm not immature when driving. I take that responsibility very well and don't plan on racing on street, strictly track. But i'm glad to have 240 at 16. Mom wouldn't let get a Z32 and i understand that car was to good for a starter for me.

I just turned 26 and the Silvia is just a toy....one of many

just because youre older doesnt mean you have to give up the fun factor.. when I buy my first Porsche, Ill still have my Sil

28 checking in...

[freakyjason]

Yeah, I'm 21 and never plan on giving up the 240 for a grown up car (even though i plan on owning a good portion of those). There is just something about the 240 that even though it might not be the most impressive sports car, I will always be attracted to it. Perhaps because it was my first true automotive love.

...There was a short time when it was prestigious to own a 240.

Where was I for that? That probably subsided sometime around when Tokyo Drift came out.

Most 240's I see are primered, dented up.

you've been spying on my car again havent you! lolim turning 27 this summer... and i feel like im 57. ugh, everything hurts.going back to school this fall *fingers crossed*

[nevertheless]

I got my 240 when i was 17, and im 18 now, so far so good.

[Nissan Junky]

I am 26 and counting.

[mRodiek]

Im 19 and I love building cars, I know Ill be doing it forever-white collar just isnt for me. If you feel bad about friends moving on to more "luxury" cars just remember that their not cool enough to drive a car like ours Plus 30 is the new 20...

[willmkent]

Well im 20 and I've had a few different performance oriented cars. I think it's just how you are influenced and what you strive for. I saved my money and bought an MKIV supra. I was the only person to have one in my town and I really enjoyed what the car had to offer

[diggles240]

I am 31 and have no plans of getting rid of the Zenki

[JSDEVILDOG29]

Love the profile pic diggles. I just turned 30 out here in beautiful Iraq. haha. I bought my first 240 a 93 hatch when I was 22. I just love the way they look and drive. I also have a 86 300z turbo. But I always grab my 240 keys. Only RWD for me.

[koukis4teen]

I am 21 but I love the 240 for what it is. I have a 98 kouki LE and i plan on it staying stock. I feel like I am preserving history because so many of these cars get modded out it is super hard to find a clean bone stock car.

[sebazztard]

Plus 30 is the new 20...

haha... i have to agree, i feel closer to 18 than 28, just more responsible. im surprised how many in this thread are near my age, i assumed it was mostly under 20-22 ish.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

I turn 16 in June. I've had the sil40 since I was 14.

[bnsil80]

Ill be 20 in a few months and I got my first 240 when I was 14 I'm now on number 5 ans it won't be going anywhere for a long time

[sil80_chris]

i'm 15 right now but trust me guys i'm not gonna be one of those dumb kids that think the only thing you can do with a 240sx is drift...and it won't be a bucket either...

[White Comet]

i'm 23 and on my 4th s13. i think i got my first one at age 19 or 20. my brother got his s13 at age 14.

[heartofaskyline]

im 20 and got my first one at 15, im on my 4th ill prob always have a 240, my grown up car will prob be a kouki powered by chevy

[TroubleBound]

Got my (only)s13 when i was 18 after a year of saved paychecks, im 20 now(21 next month), this car will be with me until the end haha i don't want anything to happen to my 240 if i sell her, she could get wrecked or riced out don't even want to think about that. I don't personally know anyone else that owns a 240 but the people i see driving around here are all pretty young, with primer and dents and stickers and whatnot.

[ZMARKUS]

My cousin bought his 1990 240sx new and has he's sure over 300,000 because the tachometer broke yeeaarrs ago. The clutch replacement is the most major repair. It's still decently sharp because he takes pride in his vehicles.

[apollo500]

I'm 20, i bought mine when i was 18 but i loved 240's since i was 15. Bought it auto switched it to 5-spd. I love my car, i drive it daily. And plan to garage it when i get my masters degree(4 more years of fun driving before i have to do this), at that time it will become my all out project car.

[simmode1]

Most 240's I see are primered, dented up, and have different colored body panels. Just like how an ugly house brings down the value of an entire neighborhood, ugly 240's kills the image of all other 240's. There was a short time when it was prestigious to own a 240.

Sigged!

I'll be 30 this summer and I feel where you're coming from, man! At our age, I think it's important to consider our 240's toy cars which are not meant to be your primary form of transportation.

At the same time, I don't think you should just go out and add another newer toy car to the stable, which is what the Corvette is... another toy. I arrived at this opinion after considering buying an SC300/400 this summer. Yes, it's more luxurious than a 240, but I'd still manage to turn it into another toy.

As I advance in age and acquire more responsibilities, I find it neccessary to own a car with more utility and comfort along with performance potential. Therefore, this summer, I'll be selling my s14 Zenki to get a 2nd gen GS400. But I hope to keep my s13 forever!

[SirSilvia]

23 this year and I'll never give up my 240 ever.
