I'd rather argue about fender rolling than what's the best interior paint!
As far as it becoming predominantly S13/14... Nissan is the one that did this to you. So there is a huge gap in affordable, easily tuned, attactive cars for people to buy or for a market to build around. Z32 tuning platform died in Japan before production ended. We never got a Skyline. B13's are getting older than dirt and have extremely high mileage. B14's were a bust. Neither B-chassis has a place to exercise their vehicle outside of autocross (SE-R cup = dead). The world's population of 80's Nissan hardware tech threads couldn't fill up our local board. 240sx is THE popular car. Not just in Nissan, but in all imports.
That is aside from the point... if everyone wants to buy a 240sx thats fine.It's the idiocy you have to deal with when you come here now. Their isn't even very much tech anything that is 240sx related anymore (hell honda-tech usually has way more tech posts then here
). Posts that are usually non-240sx related are usually bashed by these newcomers, they think the 240sx is the only car nissan made that was worth doing anything with or something.... thats the part that irritates me. So not only do you have to see the retarted threads they make, you have to deal with the bullshit they post in your own threads.
"They stopped making real cars in 1998 (or some would say 1996)." I don't see how that statement is true... the maxima is much better then it used to be, the altima is a pretty awesome car for the money,and the z33 rocks. True the QR imho is not as good of a engine as the KA, their is nothing we get here state side that really takes place of the SR engine line. But just about everything aside from the versa and sentra's is available with a VQ. I'am glad that atleast some people remmber and realize how great this board used to be back in the day.
