I've waited 13 years for this.

General discussion forum about the 240sx, and a great place to introduce yourself to the board!

I love my 240. Only cars I've purchased for myself have been 240s since I was 16, but even as a 240 enthusiast. I think it's safe to say that most if not all of us would trade our 240s in for a GT-R. 13 years after I bought my first 240, I'm finally able to drive a R32 so this was definitely a special moment for me. Enjoy the pictures and I'm working on the video.

Nice! I'd buy an r32 without a doubt, even if it meant getting rid of my s13. Actually an r32 is the only skyline I'd ever own. Awesome that you got to drive one. Where did this take place? I don't recognize the plates.

I have owned nothing but 240s since I was 16 as well. I didnt feel any remorse giving them up for my r32 lol. What is done to that 32?

The pics looks a little awkward because I was trying to clean it up in photoshop. It was raining hard here all week and the car's really dirty.

This was in Seoul, Korea BTW.

This R32 is still rather close to stock. All it has is the basic, exhaust, downpipe, fmic, and boost controller with an Apex'i PFC. Oddly it felt slower than my 240, but I'm sure that's because the GT-R didn't spin the tires stupid like my 240 does once boost hits. Making it feel like it was actually slower. The suspension is still stock too, but still very impressive compared to my 240 with Stance coilovers.

unfortunately, i would trade it too. but you can swap the engine and have the same power without the weight of the GT-R..but they look so cool..

That was one of the most impressive part about the GT-R. I know it's heavier than my 240, but I could whip around corners a lot easier than my 240. In corners where my 240 would have a tendancy to slide, the GT-R stayed planted and just went in the direction that I wanted it to go. The GT-R really didn't feel heavy at all. I've driven a MKIV Supra before and the GT-R felt more lighter and nimble than the Supra.
