it was 58 today. The wind felt so nice in my hair

check out http://www.everythingnissan.com and see if they have any top boots. Also, try with your dealership

i thought this thread's title was "convertable rollcage" I wanted to see a picture!

I have a 93 240sx convertible. Not sure if I am going to keep her (the car not the wife)another season. I just had my third child and my wife is nagging for me to sell the car. Who knows I will keep everyone posted but in the mean time drop the top and let the good times roll

Where do you live at topless? Maybe I've seen you around

Post by **LaurensDeJong** » Fri Dec 19, 2003 5:13 pm

I saw my name here and thought I'd de-lurk for a moment.

Yes, 1993 white convertible.

I live in Michigan and the only other time I've posted in this forum was to ask why you shouldn't put the top down when the temperature is below 40 degrees, as stated in the manual. Well, I've found out why.

Obviously, when it gets colder, the whole assembly shrinks and I've had difficulty operating it even in the twenties, and certainly below. But that's not the real problem, although I think that's why Nissan states you shouldn't be doing it.

A friend of mine told me before the winter that it's the rear window. At very low temperatures it may crack. His cracked when it was exactly zero degrees Fahrenheit. I, at least, beat him: mine cracked when it was seven below.

So now I have a very sad looking rear window. I barely need to replace it, though, as I drive it with the top down every day. Over 100 days of driving, all with the top down. I've chronicled my journey on LiveJournal: http://www.livejournal.com/users/formeranonymous , for those interested.

Things I'm looking for (or to replace): steering wheel, convertible boot, engine. My engine is really sick.

And I'm a guy, not a chick.

102 days with the top down?!?! that's nuts!

all i can say is...

KEEP IT UP MAN! (or should i say keep it down!)

lol!

i cracked mine at like 20 or so out. it might have been in the teens.

i have apic of the duct tape fix, but i'm too lazy to psot it. i've since had it fixed and replaced the rear window.

Post by **LaurensDeJong** » Fri Dec 19, 2003 5:13 pm

What did you do to get it fixed?

Post by **Hijacker** » Fri Dec 19, 2003 5:13 pm

had it cut out and replaced

Post by **Shift_Oversteer** » Fri Dec 19, 2003 5:13 pm

102 days man... i gotta hand it to you I live over by Detroit and the past 102 days have been COOOOLD! My hatch 240 felt like a fridge man! p.s. the whole Michigan 240sx scene is kinda based out of projectaspec.com if you want to check it out.

Hey folks.I'm new here... just registered today.

I bought a black '93 240sx conv in 1995 (with 20k on it), drove it till 2001, and sold it to my brother-in-law's parents. It had 88k on it at that point.(I needed a larger car as we just had our 2nd kid, and a conv isn't quite a family vehicle..so I bought a 2001 Land Rover Discovery.

)

Just this past Monday, I bought my old '93 240sx back from my brother-in-law's parents. 3yrs and they only put 10k miles on it.

They just bought a new SAAB conv, and said they'd be selling the 240sx, and I told them I wanted it back.

So now I've got my baby back... and I'm a happy camper. What a difference it is driving so 'low' to the ground, when you've been driving a truck for a few yrs.
