Quitters- soon ghosts to us (selling/sold my DSM)

[AlaskanDsm]

Very nice. I like the color. Another for the rims gotta go. Whats the HP rating on that car?

 

[Badgst96]

Very nice TRAITOR!! jk jk I love 240s man they rock especially the s13 style and you got the red top sr20 way to go man.. props buddy sick ride

 

[JayRolla]

I want one so bad, always have. They are so fun to drive. Drifting FTW. If I ever sold the dsm for another car I would build a 240.

 

[Car_guy_09]

Can you say drift??! Haha Looks awesome

 

[casperfast]

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! quiter. i see motor and trans all the time for under $500. too bad, so sad. that vg30 in ## nissan has a $hit load more common probs than the 4g63. i took NATT (nissan advanced technician training) while i was at UTI. i am qualified to say the 300 zx WILL break if you hot rod it. you may want to trade that for another dsm so you dont get ####ed in the long run.

oh, and i dynoed one that was running good (non turbo) pretty sad. under 200 HP to the wheels

 

[turbodsmawd420]

Ahh very nice s13! That sr20 Redtop is insane! Good find man, you better be getting sideways eventually

Oh my god, what the hell were you thinking with those wheels in your av?

 

[turbizzle]

freakin why?

 

[Bud92gsx]

Dammit Zerbi, You drive an Escort. And your DSM is on the west coast. Nah I'm just giving you shit!!

 

[TheWanderer]

Not sure where this thread belongs, but feel free to move it mods.

Well now, after 8 months with my 92 n/t, its time to let it go. After all the work I have done to it just to get it back in order so I could start modding it, I have over 2k into it. I hate to see it go, I love this little b#$%^!, and for a n/t it flies (i can hit 70mph in 3rd at 5000 rpms in about 8 seconds, just a guess mind you), but I realize with the economy and the gas prices, I can't afford to keep dumping money into a FWD n/t. Think its time to look for a GSX or the talon/laser equivalent. But for now I have my hands on an 84 Fiero 2m4. I really wish I could keep it, but I don't even have the time anymore to do the rest of the maintenance that still needs done, like timing belt, etc.

Although I have learned a lot about our cars in the past 8 months. Main thing I have learned is that they are a giant pain in the balls, but still wonderful cars nonetheless. And I couldn't have learned it without the help of you all Such a great community here at DSMtuners So to all of you who have helped me out with my myriad of problems, I salute you (in a daffy duck ass backwards form ) and thank you profusely.

I probably won't be around much (will stop in from time to time to check the newbie forums to see if I can help with anything) but I will be back though in the DSM world, sad to say its hard to walk away from it all . Hopefully soon, things will all come together and I can have myself a nice 12 second GSX can't wait for that day.

Take care everyone, I will see you guys around

Brian

 

[boostnhard]

I think its just a step, we all outgrow our non turbo cars. All i can say is go get that GSX and find out what a DSM is all about!!!!

 

[TheWanderer]

hehe, the guy that is buying it had a 94 fwd n/t already. So at least I know its going to a good home

And to think, I just changed the oil this morning to valvoline max life synth blend and flushed the radiator.

And its not so much that I've outgrown the the n/t, more like I want the fiero and I want to turbo that for now til I get a gsx looking at an 87 grand am 2.0 turbo (LT3 motor with a T2) that I want to drop into the fiero 2m4. That car already flies with a 2.5 n/t in it. I can only imagine what it would do with a turbo 2.0

 

[Twistaye]

Traitor! But you'll be back, they always come back. I'm still looking for a nice 240 body to SR20

 

[TheWanderer]

oh I intend on it Twistaye found a 97 Eclipse for sale already and a 94 ESi that needs a valve job and timing belt that I'm thinking of buying...

Damn I gotta stop looking at DSMs

Got rid of my GSX yesterday. An offer I couldn't refuse came along and I had to take it. The car I've always wanted, a 3000gt VR-4 was offered to me for my car and I took the opportunity.

Here are the final pics of the GSX all cleaned up and ready to make a trip to NY.

You need to change your avatar's name to byebye_GSX. Nice VR-4.

 

[Backinajiffy12]

Thats is a sick car dude. I was looking at one of those before i bought my GSX. good luck with it.

 

[byebye_sti]

Thanks guys! I really love it.

I had a 94 3000gt SL for my first car and I always dreamt of having a VR-4. Finally have it!

 

[RadDsm]

Moar pics of the vr4 please!!

 

[knochgoon24]

Nice car, but it looks like it will be impossible to keep it that clean with the dirt road/driveway you have in the pic.
