Hey everyone, Im Aaron and I just got my 240sx yesterday! ( about f'n time!) I drove it home from chi-town with out any problems. I went to drive it to work today and it wouldn't start. The key would turn, and the lights would come on and (click) (click) (click). I tried a couple of times before I popped the hood. Pulled a little on the battery cables and the (Mod) ground wires the perviose owner had installed. Got back into the car, and it popped off 1st try. Just wondering if anyone else has had any of these problems? Anything I can do to help it start easier? It was only -6* this morrning, I need to be able to start it in -30* weather sometimes. Any suggestion, tips, not so much tricks?

My S13 pops right over, even when its 20 below.

I have the nearly new battery to thank for that. Go get your battery checked.
