We would have gotten S15's if sales weren't so poor. From the transition from S13 to S14, Nissan changed everything that was going for the car (handling, sharp turn in responses) and kept the weakest area (2.4 liter DOHC I-4). :(

Welcome to NICO my friend. And yes, your car is one of the most beautiful things I have ever laid eyes on. The import scene isnt' bad, but it depends on who you hang around and what part of the states you are in. There is the "fast and the furious" ricer crowd who puts huge aluminum wings and neon lights all over their car thinking it is fast, then there is the true enthusiast. The true enthusiast are the ones with one thing in mind, and most of the time that is handling or speed, both of which the 240 is easily obtainable, especially now with the sr20 craze. So yea, that is some of the highlights of the scene in america. Sounds like crap, doesnt' it?

Ive heard that Australian women love American accents. They dont get more American than in the heartland. Women in the states love Australians (heath ledger). I am praposing that we trade places for mutual bennafit. Of course the cost of shipping your beutiful s15 to the states is outrageous, so i will drive your car and your can drive my s13. Think of it as a classic.

i think i will agree with majority and say that we all want ur car. s15 with the lovely and newly improved SR with that sick six speed...........drool is the right action. welcome to our humble abode. please dont hesitate to offer a ride to any fellow nico member. also always remember to chirp your tires when proceeding out of the traffic light.

hehethanks guys for the welcome and replies!"dingo ate my baby??" :confused: thats the first time ive ever heard that one...

"throw a shrimp on the barbie???" :confused: trust me, NO ONE with half a brain says that here...:rolleyes

anyway the scene in the US sounds alright but i guess u guys dont have a big range of imports to choose from.its amazing how many skylines, silvias, 180's (or 240sx as u call them) you will see on the streets here..

tahnks again for the welcome;)
