Nissan 240SX S13 - From Stock to Competition Drift Car | RadVentures

[@albonfilms]

Bravo, Hagerty. You guys have absolutely done an amazing job with this reboot. The presenters are absolutely stellar, the stories are compelling and the production is top-notch. You guys are quickly becoming my favorite automotive KZbin channel!

[@RyanSymancek]

Thank you!

[@joelh8141]

Couldn't agree more!! This stuff is gold for us enthusiasts.

[@drechsla]

@Albon what happened to your original MKIV, I have been watching your channel for a long time

[@chasebrunner]

Best 240sx video ever love it

[@peterholivier]

I was just thinking "I wonder what ever happened to the dude from my life as a rallyist?" Stoked to see you making videos again!

[@RyanSymancek]

It took a while to find a new home, but I'm glad Hagerty was willing to give this a chance!

I worked at a Nissan dealership when these first arrived. They were beautiful vehicles, and I wished I could have purchased one just like this one.

[@gorf300]

They are still beautiful. Best looking car I've seen in my life

[@helplmchoking]

Yeah I'd love one (probably an S15 for me though). They're much cheaper and more widely available in my country, but they hit bottom dollar a couple years before I could drive and before I had any money and have gone up in price at about the same pace as my income 😂 at least our Silvia's all came with CA engines in the early days and SR after that, and RB's are plentiful and cheap here

[@taylorc2542]

They're cheaply built econo cars that happen to be rear drive. Sad so many have been rice ruined.

[@akinoffury2332]

This is the best series Hagerty has done, easily. I'm loving this!

[@LorenzoCalgaryRealtor]

This was my first car as a 16 year old. Taught me how to drive well, and drift. I’ve had a BMW 540, and a few E36’s This car turned in and out like nothing else.

[@joshloaf89]

Dude these cars were so unique and so prime for their time. It's so cool to see how popular they became, and how many different builds people have made with them. The S-Chassis is every drift fiend's dream, and seeing these things in the spotlight from Hagerty themselves for their significance in the car scene really means a lot. SILVIA FOR INFINITY AND BEYOND

[@justinturner4850]

Such a blast:) The S13 is my first true automotive love. I’ve owned three of them. And selling my 380hp CA18DET powered coupe is something I’ll probably regret forever. Someday we will meet again.

[@ShadyMrk]

this was great!!!!! Between Cammisa's shows and this, i can definitely say that this is my favorite youtube channel!!!

[@Quesadila21]

The engine rebuild videos with Davin Reckow are really good too!

[@just_cruzn9673]

I've had my 200sx RS13U (european spec, which comes with the CA18DET) for 14 years. I bought it from an 82 year old man, Mr Price, who stayed in my home town, Cape Town South Africa. He imported it brand new in 1992 from Belgium to South Africa. I bought it from him (I was the second owner from brand new) for R18 000 ($1158) in 2008, it had 78 000km (48 000 miles) Full service history, everything was OEM, including the rims, radio, sunroof bag, full tool kit and jack and some other OEM goodies from Nissan in Belgium. After 14 years of ownership, she still puts a smile on my face, hearing the turbo and exhaust sound. Looking at her all polished and clean always makes me think what a beautiful car that Japanese made. My 200sx still is OEM, with a full service history, original radiator, original shocks, original springs (never cut), still stock height, original rims, original midnight blue paint, the only upgrade i ever did to my car, was a stainless steel exhaust and T28/T25 turbo, original exhaust manifold, original injectors. She is making a reliable 158kws and 285nm. The current milage is a very healthy 184 000kms (114 332 miles) still full service history, i change the oil and oil filter every 5000kms (3100 miles). If you guys would like to see pictures of my car follow me on instagram @200sx_ca18det

The first new car I purchased was a 1990 240SX SE fastback with 5-speed in gray. It served me well for ten years and 120,000 miles.

[@thedriver8174]

That was fantastic! It brought back so many great memories of my 1989 coupe in that exact Champagne color combination. I bought mine new and had it for 15 years before selling it to take a year sabbatical to do a motorcycle trip. I live in Canada and the car was my daily driver. Let me say that with proper snow tires it was a hell of a lot of fun in winter!

[@drivingpsyche]

[@ThePilotGear]

stock 240SXs are awesome little cars. It's sad they've soared in price and no longer exist in "unmolested" trim but I'm really happy we still have cars like the BRZ still around which are surprisingly similar. Don't care about drifting.

[@Ntyuask]

My only regret in life is selling my 240sx. Went through 7 of them to rebuild the original i had bought back in 2001. Took it down to just the body and frame, even stripped the original paint and rebuilt it with all new and improved parts. Thing was a monster. Built a few others on the side to flip and make money. Amazing cars. Everyone in awhile I see mine around town and of course its always being fixed from a wreck and the latest owner claims to have built it from scratch until i start pointing out all the custom work i did haha.

[@stephenc2974]

The S14 is truly my favorite car of all time. It was my first car and I’m saving to buy another one. A love affair lol

[@Crazyced]

Fun fact, part of what makes the S13 so tail happy is the huge amount of anti-squat found in the rear subframe geometry. I personally track mine (grip) and planning to swap an S14 rear subframe in it for more grip in the back.

[@TheSimonhammond]

We in UK/Europe had the 200SX in that shape, I still have the 90's brochure from my childhood.

[@camaroz28rhd76]

240sx is a S13 I've never seen, (In NZ) my mother brought a S13 Silvia (CA18DE Auto) around 97. Used Japan import. What trips me out is the BROWN! interior! I've never seen a S13 with that colour interior and I've seen 100's. I remember a lot early to mid 80's Datsuns/Nissans had brown interiors.

5:23 INCORRECT ... IT IS NOT A TRUCK MOTOR ... DO NOT SPREAD MIS INFORMATION. The ka24de 1ST appeared in the 89 240sx ... THEN in the 1990 Nissan hardbody. If your going to tell the history of this car, you may want to do your research 1st ...

[@Mukesh_Rana._]

best channel on youtube

[@AhmedAhmed-dh7yd]

Great video! Btw the seatbelt latch being so high was placed there because it is automatic. Once you turn the power on the ignition the belt goes over you. This was optional to avoid airbag mandate. So they did indeed know what they were doing! (Auto seatbelt, also one of my favorite 90's features.)

KA>SR. In Australia, the Navara DX ute was the only vehicle we got with the KA24DE. They're now hot property as the extra capacity and better head design, not to mention the ease of fitting them in old datsun's has made them very desirable.

[@fossil-bit8439]

I had a 1990 240sx that was bone stock other than the B&M short throw shifter I put in it. And this video makes me miss that car dearly...

[@NineDekay]

Great video, love it!

[@MrW8411]

Great video!

[@justinnekos3123]

I had two of these. A 91 and a 92. The 92 was in an accident, rust free but automatic. Just recently sold it to my friend since he’s wanted a 240sx forever. Now I only have my 91. It was from the original family who bought it brand new and used it as a daily driver up until around 2018. All stock, basically rust free (from NJ so it has one little spot of rust on the drivers rear arch at the bottom,) uncracked dash, and a 5 speed. Odometer stopped working around 268k and original family said it has approximately 300k on it from all the highway driving. It runs smooth and will still keep up with modern cars on the twisty roads of Upstate NY. It’s currently in my garage for the winter, but it’ll be back out this summer. Oh and here’s the best part, I paid $1800 for it! If you’re around Upstate NY, send me a message on Instagram @nekos_garage and we can go for a drive! You can also message me if you have any questions about my car. Stay safe everyone.

[@colincochrane3071]

I am 17 years old. Grew up around skateboarding and cars as my dad brought me into action sports and he was always building cars. My dad took his own life when I was 15. Growing up I never really had a eye for the impalas or ford tbirds he had. I was more aimed towards 80s and 90’s drift cars. In grade 5 I discovered the 240sx through a rap song actually haha. Kinda funny now that I think about it cuz I don’t like rap anymore… anyways! I have two cars now. A 84jetta gl and a 1991 civic SI. I would get rid of both of them for a shitter 240. My dream is to one day get a 240

I have a stock 95 with about 350,000 or so on the KA and I tell you driving that car is so damn fun even at stock, its QUICK, turns fast, when you switch lanes its so responsive, its like the lowest car on the road most times, anytime you pullup to any modern sports car the 240sx feels so tiny and I love it cause it can be a beast, I'm gonna turbo the KA no reason to ditch that gem for a 2.0, Goals are a track machine, I don't care to drift it looks to dangerous and can be very expensive imo... Take a 240sx up in Warren County in NJ in the forest region like close to stokes state park and drive up to high point, its a great view from some footage

[@RyanSymancek]

They are super fun cars! The response is great out of the box. Easy to bolt on parts and make them do what you want! Enjoy your unicorn and hang on to it! Not many cars drive like 240's these days.
