I'll sell my Z33 but will never sell my S13.

On the Z, I want sticky tires, but on the S13 I always put on the cheapest tires so that I can just slide through turns. Both fun but different kinds of fun.

Anyone else like that?

i had 2 previous 240sx hatchbacks, in 2000 I got a 1993 that died and then I had a 1991 that the suspension was fully modified, and a lot of body work. I should not have done the tail light conversion, but we learn and will never do that again. I am still sorry that I sold the car and miss it, but I would never start over again.

Yeah comfort no question, but reliability? over 3 years i had S14's not one gave me a single problem over the period of ~30k miles. With millege between 120 -160k. Z on the other hand. 5 months i had it and i've had transmission crap out, both window motors, injectors and tire pressure sensor. All this at 62k. And after looking in to history what has been done to my Z(ecm, vtc solenoids...and more)...omg ill pick s14 any day when it comes to reliability.

a lot of my friends drive 240's and they love my Z. However i might add that none of their cars are as nice or as modded as those other 240s. those s14's with front conversions are sick!. the s13's i don't really care for.

Default My S14's

Nice work on some 240's you guys got. I also upgraded from an S14.....make it two S14's and they were both black! I sold the SR20 S14 to get the Z. Shortly after (2 months) I sold my daily driven Integra LS to get a S14 SE. I kept the SE as a daily drive for a moment but I decided to get rid of the car because having the car took some of the attention away from the Z and plus it tempted me to spend some money on it when all I wanted to focus on was the Z.

I sometimes look back and miss the car, but I would never give up the Z for a 240 any day.

Here's a few pix of my 95' SR20 followed by my 96' SE NA:

SR20




SE N/A




I miss the Integra LS as well

I currently still have my 240sx along with a '96 Mustang GT.

I decided not to mod either and just buy a 350Z, the Mustang will be sold when it warms up and the '240 will trudge on as a track car and transport vehicle.

I may return to the idea of swaping a SR into it again, but for now, <3 Z
