yeah, yeah im new to the forum.. questions tho - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

first off a 91 240sx could be converted into an s14 right? not s13? and whats the HP difference(KA24DE to SR20DET). i'm most likely buying a 91 240 really soon for a beater, getting a Z in about a month. but the 240 has 132K, supposedly in good running condition, no rust, decent car.. worth $1500? needs new rear pads, possibly rotors... goin to check it out tomorrow night. how much would a front clip from an s14 cost? i was thinking about doing a conversion down the road a little. im sure if i can rebuild the engine on a TT Z i can do this. i dunno, i guess thats it. thanks.

a '91 240sx converted to an S14??  Uhh... I don't think so.....  if you simply mean having headlights and the S14 engine, then yes, it's ugly and possible (the engine should be easy, the body should not).

well, this is the S14 on S13 pic :

i think it looks bad.... but it's not realy too too bad i guess  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

as for engines, it isn't that un-common for S14 engines to be swapped into S13's I'd think... although you could always get a newer S13 SR (blacktop S13 engine) and use the saved $$ on upgrades....

p.s. thanks for the compliment <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
