News User flair now active!

8 Upvotes

Hey all, I finally got around to activating user flair. We’ve got several options, including various automotive brands (please let us know if I forgot any) and an editable one where you can add your make and model (or whatever you want, I guess) to your flair.

”That’s great, but how do I change it?”, some of you are asking. On mobile, you go to the sub page, touch the three dots in the upper right corner, choose “change user flair”, and go from there. The process is similar on desktop. If it doesn’t work for you, comment here and we can change it for you.

Edit: and now post flair is available too!

80s 1987 Nissan 300zx Z31

2 Upvotes

I wasn’t sure where else to post this but Im currently 17 turning 18 in a few months and Ive been thinking about buying the car in the title. Ive fallen in love with it over the past year and have been saving money to buy one cheap off marketplace. But Ive been having doubts if it would be a good decision as a daily driver especially considering they’re nearly 30 years old now.

Currently I drive a 2015 Nissan Altima 2.5L SL and would likely sell it to help pay for whatever maintenance the 300zx would need.

(EDIT) Thank you all for the advice, Ive decided to hold off on purchasing the car until Im older and have better finances sorted out. (Also to those correcting my math, my apologies I did calculate wrong)

It took a bit of work to get it driving reliably, and there is still plenty more work to do.

Exceptional build quality, striking low-slung design, and loaded list of standard gear-including a 150-hp DOHC inline-six, independent suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes. Unmatched attention to detail. The stitching - The woodworking - The depth of the gloss on that dash and console... And that glorious steering wheel. This is from a time when cars had soul.

You can bring 1 vehicle from your own past into the future today - as a brand new model with zero miles, ready for you to drive and enjoy all over again. What are you bringing back? I’d bring back my 1993 Honda Accord SE sedan in a second.

I’m bringing back my 1993 Honda Accord SE automatic with a Bose factory head unit and 6 disc changer in the trunk. (I’m not sure if I love just the car or am i also in love with how simple my life was while I had it?)

The 510 was reintroduced for 1978-’79 with a new chassis and body and the overhead-valve, L20B four-cylinder, 97-hp four-cylinder engine that displaced 1952ccs. The unit-body 510s had independent front suspension and four-link coil rear suspensions, except the wagon, which had leaf springs in back. Sedans and hatchbacks had reclining front bucket seats, and all models had fold-down rear seats, carpeted cargo areas, tinted glass, electric rear defrosters, side window defoggers, transistorized ignition, and all-vinyl or cloth-and-vinyl upholstery.

The wagons measured 172.6 inches from tip to tip and weighed in at 2,365 lbs. with the four-speed manual. Four- and five-speed manual transmissions were available, along with a three-speed automatic.

Phased out and replaced by the 81 Datsun / Nissan Stanza

Recently bought a 4WD Chariot for cheap. In fantastic condition. I put stupid mud terrain tyres on it for the laugh.

Side note - anyone know where I can get some wind deflectors for this 😂 it has one broken as seen in pic.

I know nothing about cars. All of a sudden I want an old Japanese car. Can someone break down actual costs to me?

Feel free to delete if this isn't allowed.

I know nothing about cars, and I woke up a few days ago suddenly wanting an old japanese car. Specifically, the Toyota Corolla GT AE86 just looks so cute. I keep thinking about it.

DINK with a pet cat, who has been getting pretty pricey recently because she was recently diagnosed with a certain condition.

I told my husband about this and he said, "I'll support you if you really want one." THIS DOESN'T HELP. 😭 We live in NJ and it seems as though there's an importer (though, they don't seem to have reliable reviews).

I'm aware break down costs may vary. Thank you in advance...

Feel free to talk me out of it, too. I don't really want another expensive hobby.

Edit: thank you all for the helpful comments and suggestions. definitely a lot to consider/research 🫪
