Ride of the Month August 2005 – 1997 Nissan 240sx

1997 Nissan 240sx – Owned by : colies97~240sx

A little history: I bought my 240 back in September of 2000. I had sold my previous car on a whim and just happened to go by a local Nissan dealership the next day and found the 240. It was base and automatic with 35k. Since then I have spent time learning about the car and making it what you see today. I have made a point to be involved in every aspect of installing all the parts you see on the car, after all what good is a modded car if you don’t know how it works or how to fix it. I have had so much help from other Nissan owners. If it wasn’t for the people I have met, the car wouldn’t be where it is today. They have taught me everything I know. My goal is to make the car as fun as possible to drive and enjoy driving it every day.

Nico has some of the nicest Nissans and Infiniti’s, it’s definitely an honor to be considered for ride of the month. I have never really thought of my car as anything special, I think of it simply as something that I completely enjoy. All of what you see has been done with the thought of clean lines and simplicity. Nissan knew what they were doing when creating aftermarket support for the Silvia, so in modifying the car I decided not to deviate from that thought.
Stay tuned for future upgrades, she isn’t done yet…
