The car above is a VERTEX Ridge 180SX in Japan. Pretty sick, don't you think?
This is a Southern California based enthusiast's site that focuses on the NISSAN 180SX, 200SX, 240SX, and SILVIA family of cars as they exist in America, Japan, Australia, Europe and beyond. Aside from many common parts and characteristics, these cars share a performance heritage known only by a select few in the automotive industry.
NISSAN is responsible for introducing some of the most innovative automotive technology and design, as well as some of the most exciting racing action known in our time.
Well, I'm pretty much recovered from my surgery now. Thank you all for your concern and for continuing to visit my poor infrequently updated site. Unfortunately, I have a new problem now. The computer that I was regularly using at home was all but destroyed by some virus or worm or whatever... I have most likely lost all the new stuff that I was going to put up on this site including some 40 new pictures and other information. Oh well, I'm healthy and Bush hasn't completely destroyed the United States...yet. Let's all enjoy friends and family, and of course our cars while we can.
It seems that some people were getting confused by the way that I labeled some of the images in the SHOWROOM. I've changed those labels that I believe were the most confusing.
I've updated the Aero Kits and Parts page. Bomex Aero has finally been added and Speed Technology Labs is now defunct. This page contains information on were to find body kits and parts for your car. Access this feature from the SHOWROOM, or just Click Here!
The Fresh Alloy forums have been upgraded again and they work much faster now. Go check out the new and improved 240SX forum now!
You're not a member of the FreshAlloy.com forums yet? Get in touch with other S13/S14/S15 owners and fans. Express your opinions, share your knowledge, ask questions, or just see what the hot topic of the day is.
S13-S15? 180SX-240SX? Don't know what all these letters and numbers are? For chassis ID# and related term clarification, go to the info page.
(Thank you Steve Lamb for all your great input!)
I will also not be covering the last American market "200SX". This car was based on our Sentra and carries the Lucino badge in Japan.
Although I'm pretty sure there are no problems with the SHOWROOM page, I have had one complaint from a visitor about some of the thumbnails not loading. If anyone else having difficulty getting all the thumbnails to load, please send me an email and let me know. Go there now!
I still have plans to modify and expand this site as my web design skills increase. The problem is that my skills haven't really had a chance to increase very much lately. Thank you for visiting and I hope you stop in every now and then for rare updates and added content.
