prior to purchasing my current Z a month ago, I was looking at 97/98 240s as personally they were one of my favourite cars growing up(I had two s13s, one '95 s14, but never the Kouki s14 since they are really rare around here and people want an arm and a leg for an automatic one)...
Ended up going with the Z obviously, for my own reasons, and I'm glad I did...and like someon mentioned, if times are that tough, sell off any mods you may have and if not...well payments on $3800 shouldn't be too much

Well guys, to reply to all your statements, loll
I am keeping my Z. I'm just too in love with it. Yes 190k is high. I know. But she's still my baby. She drives like she has 30k. All maintenence has been kept up on it. So no worries.
As for the green wheels, I traded my 19in g35 rays for these plus cash. So I ended up making a profit. I know they are green, but they were professionally powdercoated. I just don't have the money to powdercoat them at the moment. But they will eventually get powdercoated.
Thanks for all the hell no's and no's to this thread. Helped my decision.

If your worried about the miles on your motor, find a low mileage DE and swap it in, problem fixed

Benn down the road with 240's and my experience is that KA-T sucks. Even at 350hp its a time bomb plus the body looks like shat. There is a pic of my best 240 in one of my threads and it shats all over this one and I wouldn't trade your Z for my old one. I know it will suck but sell some of you parts to pay off the 3800 and rebuild in the future

good decision. I had 3 240's including a kouki and parts are as expensive as for the Z plus they are harder to find. The Z is definitely an upgrade as a platform to build for anything.

I can't even believe you're asking this question!! You want to trade your Zed for a 16 year old shed that'll be full of rust and hiding all sorts of gremlins. Its not even one colour or two tone, it looks like the car that Jack built. Let Jack keep it, you'd never forgive yourself. Thats a heap of s**t that'll cause you all kinds of s**t. Unless you can get a screen from a breakers that alone will cost you the best part of $1000

I have a built KA, This is a piece of ****.
5K in the motor haha, some retard must have bent him over that giant mismatched body kit and raped him silly.
I make more power on a OEM Rebuilt KA-T now with a S15 T28 than that guy.
No Cams, crappy EpRom Tuner, 3 angle valve job.. by who? This car is legit worth maybe 2-3K as it sits. It'll sell to some idiot kid for twice that but that is the nature of the stupidity. Ill trade you my mint clean D1 spec S12 Silvia with a KA-T completely finished and still pay off your loan.

Stuartc323, looks like you're gonna be doin lines just like the 5th grade cos you've now gotta tell MI 35th to learn to read. There'll be loads more so write out 100 times 'i must learn to let people have an opinion' & stop being so infantile

Sams, I knew his decision. No one tells me ****, been around too long... I agree it's dumb not to just let people keep chiming in on such an obvious loss, I wasn't comment on a decision more the joke of an S14 that was offered! LOL

Too bad MI 35th CAN read and wasnt responding to the question of if he should keep it or not. You on the other hand, failed.
