Not really gay, more like psychotic. I don't know what the term is for when you find inanimate objects sexy. Like the GT-R. It's just...sexually arousing. Teh sex.

Re: know what im tired of?

I don't use the term myself, but it is was somewhat amusing the first few times I herd it... but I don't see a problem with people using it. atleast they aren't saying your mom is the sex wow, I'm done

First off there in Okinawa Japan.

This is good for people like me who want to live and build a car in Japan and have plenty of time to save up to bring it home to California. I can always make the money for importing by sellin SR's and RB's on Ebay. One of the used car dealers on Okinawa I know has a 180(Kouki) "comes stock with a SR") for around 3-6 grand depending on year and any mods and such.

I stand corrected then I wasn't to sure in the first place hence the "I belive" maybe I should have used "I think"

at least you're the kind of guy who can happily admit he was wrong...unlike some i've encountered on here who fight to the death that what they say was right, even though deep down they know they were wrong.

good on ya.

hey no one can know everything right? All my knowledge is about jeeps and rockcrawlin. Nissans are new to me and I only know from experience I've had helping the guys In Okinawa. I plan on squeezing every little bit of knowledge out of the lot of ya!

Besides Who would talk to a A$$hole???

Re: know what im tired of?

k, just got my 240..as you all know, looked and ran perfectly fine till it
wouldnt go into gear...took it in, finally got a safety inspection...which
should have been done before i even bought it...and it turns out that
there is at least 2 grand of work that has to be done to it, just to get it
to run decent...suspension...exhaust...clutch(retard before me decided
he put BRAKE FLUID INTO THE HYDROLIC CLUTCH FLUID RESEVOIR)
id sue him for as much money as his ass can pour out, but i cant cuz
its buyer beware sorta thing...all that stuff i just listed, was claimed
(by the stupid fuck who sold it to me) to have been brand new... the
car has 93000 miles on it, and its a pile of junk...if you guys wanna
buy it, ill maybe sell it, but im not sure if i want to yet. maybe i can
get by with some of the major stuff done, then squeek my way thru to
the minor stuff, but if it turns out that the other stuff has to be done
right away, i may just junk it, and i know you guys would hate to see
that happen considering its an s13... suposedly rare... not sure about
that tho...

ditto what stealthj said (wow...that's a first )

as long as your frame isn't beyond repair, everything else is fixable.

DOT3 brake fluid is what's supposed to be used in hydraulic clutch systems, so don't panic about that.

everything else, assuming it's not bad enough that the car won't move, can be fixed with time. fix the things first that will need to be fixed in order for the car to run (ie clutch cylinders). suspension can wait assuming it's not too bad, exhaust can wait assuming you don't start to get tickets for noise violation etc.

my car is almost like this too...although not quite as bad. i got a couple of happy surprises as well, but i can work through it. for instance, my clutch stopped working on the drive home from buying the car. it's going in to get repaired on the 30th. but at least for that the previous owner sent me back $200 from the original price of the car, to pay for the clutch repair, since he said he "didn't want it to seem like i'm fucking you over, because i'm not." he honestly didn't know about the clutch, and i believe him, so it's ok. i also didn't know about the leak in the gas-tank, but this is also easily fixed. i can get a new tank off a parts car for $40 and just swap the old with the new. i also just found a small rust spot on my frame, but it's very small, can only fit 2 fingers in it, and i have a friend who does body work who's guaranteed me he can fix it.

when buying a $750 13 year old car, you kind of have to expect this sort of thing. no matter how low the mileage (mine only has 194,000 KM, which is low for a 240SX in Ontario), there will always be problems. i prepared myself for that, and despite the few problems here and there that my car has, they're all easily repairable. some might have to wait a bit until i make some money, but eventually they can all be repaired and the car will work like new again. so don't lose all hope.
