Yesterday in the morning, decided to go and get coffee from starbucks. As i sat in my car, this nice looking car pulls in. I have never seen a car like this before. It's of the nissan breed. We had a chance to talk a little bit, and he was probably in his mid twenties.

He asked if i wanted to run, and i said sure why not. We did three runs.

First run...we did the "residential roll", i decided to start in second. He honked, and from the get go, i was ahead. By the time i shifted to third, i was 2 cars a head, by mid 4th i was atleast 4 cars ahead. After the run, he said he did not boost handbrake(sp) and that 25mph roll was too low for him to make an impact on the race.

Second run, he asked for 45mhp roll. He lined up on my right. I started in second, (am 2-0 starting in second). On the first honk, OMG. The amount of commotion coming from his engine bay was of violent disturbing nature (VRRRRR___TATATATA___Psssssssssss_Shhhhhhss). Scared the shit out of me, since my window was down. By the time he honked 3 types, i was still flabbergasted. He jumped 1/2 a car a head. I grabbed 3rd and i was a fender a head with my car screaming like a little bitch (WHEEEEEEEEEE, WHEEEEEEEEEEEE). By fourth, he was at my rear fender, and he just stayed until i killed it at mid 4th gear.

3rd run. Same 45mph roll. This time round he jumped ahead and stayed ahead. By 4th gear, he was 1.5 cars ahead. My car felt tired. Felt low on power. On the 3rd run, his car had more stamina than mine.

He wanted a 4th run, but i told him i had no more muscles to flex.

He had the following mods;
-T3/T04E
-Full Apexi spec exhaut
-Sr20det jdm built motor
-Tial 40mm Wastegate
-Greddy H/E
-Interior delete
-Coilovers

He said he will send me pictures that i will post later. Never seen a nissan like that before. And it was rear wheel drive. The car looked almost like this..

if I had to guess, I'd say he has an eaton swapped 01 cobra with a T56.

What you ran was a second gen nissan 240SX, don't generally see many of those cars around anymore

S15's are 3rd gen and are NOT related to the 240SX platform.....
Either imported from Japan (yes they exist in U.S, very rare) or a 240SX with a front S15 conversion.

Did you ever see the tail lights O.P?

Looked a little bit like the 240sx but definately different.

This guy again?

Nobody dragged you into this thread. You can always GTFO!

I think its a girl

You really are hoping that i am a girl, dont you?

S15 would make it 3rd Gen hombre. Most likely not a real S15 though. Was it right hand drive or left?

Left hand drive

Yeah, they were kinda like 2 circular taillights, but one piece that extended from one tailght to the other.



Pics are rolling in...post them in a few.

Yup that'd be an S14.5 by the looks of it. No left hand drive S15's exist since they never made it to the US. S13.5 and 14.5 are just the first and second gen 240's with a front end conversion. Good looking cars and those Nissan motors are amazing. Looks like an SR20 Red Top. One of the best 4 cyl. ever produced.

Then it was just a 240SX with the S15 front conversion, being left handed and tail lights gave it away. Im sure it was a 240sx hatcback with the SR20DET or the regualr SR20DE with a turbo. Tail lights look like either of these?

Nice little cars but he must be running a big turbo with race fuel to be running close to you like that.

Yup those are the taillights. Remember seeing them flash when he yanked me. He had an Apexi GT Spec exhaust which i believe he said was 4inch. How much power could he possibly be making?

Those are one of the best looking imports when done right. I would not mind having one just for tits and wiggles.
