driving an SR'ed 240 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

import_racer87 · 10-13-2004, 05:37 PM

To start off, i own a na 93 mr2. its a nice little car. not too fast but i like the way it handles. Now ive ridden in 3 differnt sr20'ed 240s, 1 s13 fastback and 2 s14's, and when they gun it (even on low boost 8-9psi) I feel like im in a time warp. Ive never felt anything like it, ive ridden in fast cars before, but the sr's just seem crazy fast. It doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me. ive driven a new sti and a friends tuned srt-4 with are pretty powerful and neither seem even close to the feeling on driving a 240 with a swap. why is this? the srt4 has comparable power and about the same weight.

Because the SR20DET is MAGIC, it's the kind of mystery that oozes from it's JDM rooting man, haven't you been reading magazines over the last 4 years? All the cool kids MUST have SRs

aa87 · 10-13-2004, 05:43 PM

When i rode in my buddies SRT 4, i thought it was crap cuz i couldnt stop feeling how un JDM that plastic dash was, and its bubble shape didnt give a jdm feeling.

DocTaDrifT · 10-13-2004, 06:09 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA sorry i didnt mean to laugh

Dousan_PG · 10-13-2004, 06:31 PM

because your being pasenger and not driver. drive it yourself

*HaLo* · 10-13-2004, 06:41 PM

yeah... sr's are pretty slow... it's all about getting an RB now.. :ghey:

silviasichigo · 10-13-2004, 06:42 PM

yeah I agree with Dousan totally different feel when you are driving instead of riding.

pruto · 10-13-2004, 06:48 PM

haha, i got a chance to drive a mr2, not a turbo actually, but just a regular one, 135 hp. it was tuned but you know, should still have less hp than my stock KA. It FELT soooo much faster and a little bullet out of a gun. I've always wanted a mr2 turbo. the grass is greener on the other side

*HaLo* · 10-13-2004, 06:55 PM

I don't mean to offend Dousan with my post.

I am just saying that an SR is far from being a quick engine in it's stock form..

silviasichigo · 10-13-2004, 07:24 PM

Yeah but they are sooooo easy to make fast.....and if you are in japan so cheap to make fast hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa......... ...

sorry

some people can't seem to read sarcasm when it's obvious.

trsilvias13 · 10-14-2004, 10:52 PM

difference between those car.. it RWD. your mr2 is rwd, but doesnt have that much power.. ride in a rx7 with turbo and some bolt on, bout the same.. well to me

Muzzy · 10-15-2004, 12:31 AM

MR2s are fukin pocket rockets!!! i almost got one...but i was too tall 4 it.=( it was ssooo fast when i drove it...(compared to my KA) i loved that car...for the moment. it pulled like a mofo!! and yes i was the driver.

TurK · 10-15-2004, 02:28 AM

Yes i must say sr20det is a good engine all around...im happy with mine so far

yeah 5 years ago. b16 in a ef could walk on almost anything on the street now its just ridiculous what kind of money you have to put out to make a car considerably fast yet streetable, unless you want to give in and buy a neon

MakotoS13 · 10-15-2004, 09:02 AM

sadly, this isn't even the dumbest thread posted in recent history...

wtf are you saying the yahoo yen converter is wrong, wtf, u read a number, enter it and out comes a fucking answer.

steaLthy240 · 10-15-2004, 07:05 PM

how much yen was it? im sure in japan you can get coilovers for less than you can here, and its about 2grand for a nice set here. For typical point of reference, 100 yen is about 1 usd.

and who determines what fast is? fast acceleration? 1/4 mile? theres too many options nowadays to say what "fast" is.

for me, fast is when you hit boost and you're thrown back into your seat

mjjstang · 10-15-2004, 08:06 PM

in japan are there 2 different signs for money cause this one set goes for 551200 types of money, but then I see another set with the yen sign is like 3 grand in usd, even then, we dont pay 3 grand for coilovers, I am just curious as to what this other sign is, its like a P and then a backwards P butted up against it.
