Hi eveyone! I've been on the boards for a few weeks now getting all kinds of valuable info on my new ride, 1991 240sx. I usually don't say anything unless there's something worth saying so that's why I haven't posted till now. I just wanted to thank AZhitman for providing this site and NISTECH for all the assitance he gave to work through the bugs I had, unknown to him because I never had to ask him anything... it's all here already. And thank you to all the contributors who filled in the blanks.:D

And here she is,http://www.nissaninfiniticlub....che=1

I was looking for her almost exactly a year ago, but couldn't find a halfway decent s13. So I ended up picking up an BMW e30 with 183k on it real cheap, it ran strong and got me through the year. One day, mothers day actually, I was driving to pick up some fresh flowers for my mother and there she was tucked away in a corner with the "FOR SALE" sign barely noticable. I quickly pulled in the lot of VFW where she was parked and took a look at her, glanced at the odometer twice because I couldn't believe there were only a little over 78k mi. on her!I took down the phone number on the sign, and proceeded to get the flowers I purposely went out for. A week had gone by before I relized that I had forgotten all about the car, I scrambled for the scrap of paper that I had written the phone number on and called it. I set up a meeting with the owner for that afternoon, met with him, drove the car and BS'd about the M5 he came in and then talked price. He originally was looking to get $2400 for it, but had been trying to sell it for 3 months now and knew that the rear suspension was shot so he was very open to my offer of $1800 (great price for what I got I think). So he agreed, signed the papers and I took delivery of it.

And that's how I became a happy 240 owner.

Thanks for the Welcome guys! :D

Nismo_Freak: me too, I couldn't ask for a better color. I love silver, and any color with a silver essence. It's got some minor body work to be done and the paints a little faded, I'm gonna go with the same color when I do the repainted next year sometime.

AZhitman: I'll be talking to you soon about an exhaust to further support the cause. :D I love the simplicty of BRM designs, and the dual tips are key!

silkk: Yeah like I said I couldn't believe it myself, i was ready to buy it even before I looked at the OD... or drove it for that matter. The fact it had such low milage just sweetened the deal even more.

Yep I love the color too! Both rear shocks were blown so I picked up a set of GR-2s and S-tech springs to fix the problem asap, i'll get some coilovers sometime next year... SPL is looking like a good candidate. Reason I didn't go with the coilovers right off the bat is, I wanted to make sure that mechanically she was sound. So instead of blowing $1k plus on coilovers, I spent a little over $300 for a more than adequate sping-shock combo (that rides pretty damn nice if I do say so)... saving some extra cash for any unexpected maintenance. Oh yeah almost forgot, viscous fluid was leaking from the tension rod bushings so I swapped those out for some Tein units.

Yea its like this every day here. If you dont want to talk about cars, basically any other topic is up for grabs. Most of us are pretty laid back so dont worry. Just have a good time. Just watch out for Mr1der(Pronounced Mr. Wonder, but most of us just call him 1der). That guy is outta hand with his comments. He'll have you laughin everyday.
