I've been around for a few weeks now getting familiar with the site(). I've mainly been getting the scoop on the cars and what to do and what not to do. I have some ideas for the car but I'll take it one step at a time. I've always been a huge fan of the 240sx cars, but never actually considered owning one until a few months back. So 3 days ago I went out and purchased my first 240sx. I scored a one owner, maroon, 95' S14, with 76k original miles on it. The car is completely stock, immaculate in and out, except for those few scratches and dings. It does unfortunately have a slushbox in it, but that's ok, I'll do a swap later on down the road. I hope to get some pictures up for everyone tomorrow, but I figured I'd make my presence known. Take it easy.

New here (obviously...point of the thread?). Moved from a '90 RPS180 project to a *drumrolls..or hisses* '87 RPS12 project. For some reason I keep getting into older and older cars. Anyhow, signed up in here so I can rake for information on CA18DET motors and anything else I can come across that might be useful, so far it's been worthwhile.

*1987 200SX hatch----
~CM/SSC springs (350fr/275rr)
~Tokico Illumina 5-way adj. shocks
~crapload of Polk/MOMO & Sony ice
~OOP Volk Group C Ultra 17x7 3-pc wheels
~CA18det, in crate, in storage, waiting for the end of my (second) lil' trip courtesy of Gee Dubbya....

So theres ya goes. Thanks!

What's up, my name is Adan and after lurking for months I've decided to join the site. I'm basically looking to help ppl out with parts and also to learn from others and to be of any help as well.

I own a Silvia, S13 Tommy Kaira Edition and of course sr20det.

I have a few mods on it and future ones to come.

-tein coilovers
-HKS cone filter
-APEX FMIC
-T-28 ball bearing turbo from an S14
-Racing Kakimoto cat-back and no cat converter
-Z32 maf to be installed tomorrow 28 dec 05
-APEXi S-AFC to be intalled along with the MAF
-Stock K bumper (aero one)
-Side skirts and rear balance (stock)
-Rolling on some 15" long champs

I'll be installing an s15 front when I get back from Iraq (May 06)
Tubular turbo manifold (been having it for like 6 months and still haven't found the time) LOL

Well, this is pretty much all I have for now. Be in the look out for whatever parts I'll be trying to get rid off. I buy alot and sell alot. hahaha.

Peace out!

Hey guys, fiqured i'd say waht up.

had my car for a few years now, nothing speical, its a 98 240sx ( duh ) 5spd se, no abs and no vlsd but thats alright. i get by..

i used to auto-x my car alot, that is untill it got hit in a parking lot ( hit and run, i will throw pics up in the pic thread soon ) and i got crappy tires ( i am a broke poor white kid living on his own so i'm kinda owned ).

live in utah we got some great canyon roads here, never drifted my car or anything ( more into grop driving anyway ) but i wont ever decline a fun run up a canyon. this is only my 2nd car, i started with a crx ( biggest pile eva! ) and moved up to this and i dont think i will ever get rid of it.

thats about it, we have a local utah forum so if any of you guys are from utah, hit me up a pm and i will give you a link or something..

anyways i will most likely lurk around a bit and soak up as much ka-t stuff i can.

Problem getting front marker light off

Just joined the group after buying a 1993 240sx. Love the car....everything works great except the front left marker. Anybody know how to change the lamp? I can't see any access from the rear and can't figure out how the orange cover comes off!

s14

Hey everyone,
I've been lurking here for a bit and am looking to get an s14, but have recently become interested in s13's too. I don't own a 240, but I've always been a "car dude" and have always wanted to start a project car. The 240 looks like the perfect platform for a boosted daily driver.

I've been reading alot and researching forums, and I'll try not to ask a question that's been asked before. See you around the forums!

Hi, I'm Mark. I live in Vegas and I'm on a bunch of other forums, (vegasdrift, nv240sx, vegasrotary, driftcentral) I came here cuz I came here alot before for the engine faq's just never posted. I drive a 90 coupe, witch is a POS at the moment but on its way. I'm planning a swap and just need to figure out what engine to replace the KA with.
btw, I'm a myspace whore too. www.myspace.com/driftphantom
