You Know You Have An S13 When . . .

[S13b]

You know you own an s13 when you know every other forum member who doesnt own one, secretly wants to...

...when you look enviously, jealously, admiringly at other s-bodys but know you wouldnt swap yours for the world.

...when after years of loving sil-80s you suddenly develop a unexplicable love for s13s that keep the pop-up lights (think koguchi power )

...when you're immune to the factory spec windscreen wiper squeak and only your passenger can hear it

...when you rinse much "newer" and more expensive cars and the driver of the other car has a look of surprise on his face when you go past

...when you take extra layers of clothing with you when your going for a drive (even in the summer), cost even if you dont need them to keep you warm they'll be good for moping up the oil/water/fluid spill or tearing up to use to block up leaking pipes.

...when only other s13 owners really appreciate this thread.

.. when one headlight closes down after to other and you think it's just S13's way to go to sleep.

... when you just put awesome new speakers and crossovers, after a little of pourdown one side goes mute and you don't even want to think what happened.

... when a young lad on a scooter ask you what mods you got, tells that he has a 5,000 euros paint job on his S14, and invites you to hang out with other ill people in front of Ikea on friday night.

... when maybe, perhaps, possibly you will be moving to a different continent in five months from now and you're thinking already of how much will cost to transport the car, where you will store it, and are reassured that V-power is available.

You know you have an s13 when you crash it at a drift day and it only costs £20 to get a front end !

[Gezzmarrelda]

You know you had an s13 when you've been running a 300zx for 18 months and you're bored

[kentdrifter200]

haha some very good posts here, Here is my 2p`s worth,

You knok you got an S13 when your sitting in traffic and it starts hammering down with rain then your wiper mechanism breaks

[Scougar]

You want to get rid of it, but you can't, it'd be like betraying an old friend that you've only known for a couple of weeks

[marcus23]

you know you have an s13 when you go to fix 1 thing on the car then end up spending the rest of the day finding other things wrong with it so you decide to fix them since you've already started !

You know you have an S13 when the car parked behind gets a nice coating of oil/soot/crap because your valve stem seals have gone

[japdrifter]

you know you have an s13 when although she brakes al the time and pisses you off dearly...even though you have a far better daily runner...the poor girl still brings a tear to the eye as you picture the perfect moment that you and her will reunite in one reliable drive to the shops and back

[S13b]

You know you own an s13 when you turn your healights on and the open door light comes on...

You know you have an S13 and the valve stem seal collapses completley 1 hour into a track day and buggers the whole day up

"you buy one ticket at car wash but in reality that ticket is 3in1 because you get: car washed from outside and also inside and even the driver gets shower. All that because of non sealing windows at doors"

U know u own an s13 when :-
u look at it on the drive and think.... god dam ur sexy!!
U turn the key after its sat for 3 months, and it roars to life after half a turn
U listen to ur engine in videos and cant stop smiling cos it sounds so bloody nice
U let a mate drift it just so u can hear that note of the exhaust
U cant get the bloody crank seal to stop leaking no matter how many times u replace the seal/pump/crank
U get into the car and all u can smell is melted tyre
U remove the stereo cos there is no nicer sound than a CA on full chat
U cant think of a single thing on the car you have not replaced/upgraded
U think mr. nissan would have sold so many more if he had fitted it with round lights instead of square
