I use to have an account on here but I can't get it active again so I am reintroducing my self. Also I was kind of trolled online so I made this story about my car but I will tell you a little about me too. My name is Chris and I am the GM of Q Logic Enclosures by day, and blogger/driver of the Car Audio Chris / DIY Race Car by night. I have been a Nissan guy for almost 10 years and have owned 9 240's during that time. I currently have my S14 that I just put back in the body shop after someone backed in to me on Christmas. No big deal though because insurance is repainting the whole car now.

Thanks for everyone checking this out and
When I was 18 years old I was just starting to get into cars and I met a great group of enthusiasts that I am still friends with today. One of those guys owned this car, a S14 SE with a RB25DET and R34 GTR wheels.

When I saw it I instantly feel in love with the style and look or modified but stock style. I had never known about Nissan or even cared before but I was instantly attracted to the car and join the community. Over the years I purchased over 8 different 240sx’s vehicles of both the S13 and S14 Chassis

While I loved racing, and drifting, I never forgot "That Car" and always told myself I would build one just like it some day. As time went on I lost track of my friend and his amazing car. I started to get that desire to build a no limit build up of what I have always wanted. A freshly painted beautiful performance machine. I started to look on craigslist and look what I found.

Here was the S14 that I fell in love with for sale by my old friend. He decided to move on with his family and wanted to sell it. I contacted him and the rest is history. I have since painted the car, added a full suspension system and will be installing a stereo here soon. The rest of the story is yet to come but I am so excited about what is next!

Thanks everyone, well I built this to be the ultimate street car that I can take on the track near my house whenever I want. It is going to have aftermarket sound deadening and a stereo real soon so it isn't suppose to be "competitive" but I will be able to compete with myself on times. I may drift it too every now and then but nothing like I use to do.

I have a mod list here on my blog because its a lot to write out here on the forum. Just planning on enjoying the car and keeping it as long as I can.
