You become and electrical engineer just from doing motor swaps
If you buy stock in zip ties
If you've ever been asked if you drift
If you've ever been asked if you have an SR
If you've ever been asked if your doing the "Silvia" conversion
Youve rebuilt your KA-T more then once
If negative 3* of camber is considered "baller"
If you have less then an inch of clearance under your car
Youve just bought your own 240, but still look for more on autotrader
You laugh at people with knock off rims
You go through lots of rear tires each summer
Your passenegrs wish they had an "o ****" handle
Your "muscle head" friends dont understand the term "power to weight"
If youve ever had a tail pipe that was taller then your roof line
Youve ever had a flower or other "JDM" shifter
You overuse the word "baller"
Youve Mustang rims on your 240
You pour money into a KA24E, just to do a KA24DE swap
When your *** end kicks loose in the rain on a busy street on accident
When parts that go under the hood are somehow in the trunk
When you see RHD Jeeps, and get jealous
When you add over quarter panels, and fender flares just to "Flush" those negative offset's
When the car is so low, you rip out your hood latch assembly, when u bottom the front end out
"Because Mudflaps are awesome on a slammed hatch"
when you get stuck on driveways and speed bumps..
when your garage looks like's a part warehouse
when your rims are worth more then your car.
when you stop and take random pic or your car in strange places
when you see flip up lights, you double check.
when you laugh at probes.
when your car hibernates for the winter.
your clearcoat is peeling, but you dont care
you have used several different OEM nissan wheels, only to find that they dont serve your purpose, and end up using TT supra, or Starion wheels
all of your friends who aren't interested in cars can tell you what kind of engine is in your car.
You constantly browse EBAY just to see if there is a awesome deal, even though you already have whatever is on sale. (300zx calipers/coilovers/turbo)
you have rust on the rear of your car, where an OEM foam spoiler used to be.
you have a detailed diagram of your town, where lifted man holes are, so you can modify your route to avoid them.
your car didn't even survive 48 hours, before you had ordered a part, or preformed some sort of quick mod.
when noob 240 owners say they are going to put in an SR, and you attempt to convince them to put in a RB, or go KA-t.
there is some form of spraypaint somewhere on your car.
If you cut out the thin middle peices that make a cross on your stock S14 front bumper
"Every time it rains, you drift because it's cheaper than doing it when it's dry."
"You spend more on your turbo setup than you did on the car."
"You have spare tires that don't fit your car, but for some reason you keep them around" ...I have 3 or so in the garage if anyone wants them
you turn up the radio to drown out the rattles.
you took out the radio to save weight.
you drive diagnol over big, broad speed bumps.

94. when you go crazy and point to a stock 240 to whoever is around, most likely a non car person.
95. you tend to ask your non car friends trivial questions about the 240, and they answer correctly. Smile
