Rarest 240sx Ever? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

***Future240*** · 08-30-2010, 04:28 PM

This comes courtesy of member mongolpup

I saw this article at his house and decided to post it up. This just maybe the rarest 240sx ever. We all know the HKS kit was available for purchase, but I want to know if anyone has ever bought/seen of this 240sx

Here is the article.

Wow went bonkers with the SS Braid lines

Psycho 240 Freak · 08-30-2010, 04:51 PM

I still remember reading about this car in a Superstreet magazine back in the late 90s. I dreamnt of having that turbo kit to blow away all those Integras and Civics back then haha. Am I reading this right? With the turbo kit that 240 still ran 16 second 1/4 mile time?

ki_JDM_ds · 08-30-2010, 05:05 PM

Here is another pic. I'm search for the HKS Tubo (I think) S13 that was sold here.

I would absolutely love to find one of these cars.

BoostSlideWayz · 08-30-2010, 05:08 PM

Nice car, im sure HKS owns it still or maybe someone who worked for HKS or some type of connection with them. Who knows, maybe someone on here owns it.. thad be cool to see current photos of it.

duballstar37 · 08-30-2010, 05:10 PM

I'm pretty sure that guy lives in my neighborhood.

'97 S14 SE Turbo · 08-30-2010, 05:15 PM

The car was supposedly sold to a high-school vocational program.

Those wheels are the Technomagnesium wheels. I had picked one up before, and almost threw it into the ceiling. It was very light.

sickstatus · 08-30-2010, 08:10 PM

GabeS14 · 08-31-2010, 12:18 AM

On the SS article it say's 250hp at 5,250 rpm. It would be awesome to own one though

slow40sx · 08-31-2010, 12:38 AM

are all these horsepower and quarter mile numbers on a stock ECU and stock injectors and 2lbs of boost or some shit? why is it so fucking slow?

***Future240*** · 08-31-2010, 05:32 AM

If it is a stock block, maybe they are running stock injectors, on 7lbs boost with stock everything else and perhaps that turbo is shitty.

calis14 · 08-31-2010, 06:10 AM

Talk about fast and the furious lol

Christophikis · 08-31-2010, 06:26 AM

Or maybe the guys over at R&T can't drive?

smbonn2005 · 08-31-2010, 06:36 AM

i dunno but my KA with just I&E did 16.4 @ 84.5 .... they do say they are only on 8 psi

murda-c · 08-31-2010, 06:45 AM

probably wrecked or parted out a long time ago

OBEEWON · 08-31-2010, 08:35 AM

Oh, I know why it's slow.

It's a KA-T.

That explains it.

GripTerror · 08-31-2010, 10:34 AM

Heh it looks like guys running junkyard motors from japan are having a field day oh wait I mean sr20det.

You realize WHEN this car was put together? Probably while some of yous were in frickin elementary school!

racepar1 · 08-31-2010, 10:47 AM

It's fucking slow because it was built in the late 90's. ECU tuning was still a mystery, street tires sucked, and we all still thought KYB AGX's were the shit.
