Greetings peeps. I've been lurking here for a few years but think its time to introduce myself. After 7 years of wishful thinking, I finally got my first 240; a Zenki S14. It's by all means a piece of ****, but I'm sure I'll get all the help I need from the FSM and you guys in my quest to restore it. Either way, I'm stoked to finally join the club!

![]() Hello, I've had my '98 SE for 11 years now and was active in the 240 community back in the early oughts (under this user name). Mostly on az240sx and freshalloy. I've had an Xterra that I've been focused on for the last few years, but now that is where I want it so it is time to focus on my garage queen again.
Pearl White SE 5 spd with 80k miles. I'm pretty sure it was one of the very last 240's sold as it was first registered in May of 99. |

![]() Ohai. So, I'm Demietra(: BUT NOBODY CALLS ME THAT.
![]() Uhm, uhm, uhm! I got my first car last September 7th. It's ironic because my brother and I have the same first car. He still drives his and he's on here actually, but I bet it's embarassing to be seen talking to your little sister so I won't say his name. :c ANYWHO! I drive a 1993 240sx SE. I'm hella lucky because the owner was selling the car for about $1800. Well, my step-dad's a mechanic so he test drove it for me to see what he could feel and hear from it. HA! smartest move ever. Came back and told the guy basically the car wasn't perfect, (which my beautiful babygirl wasn't.) Told the dude it would need a new tranny, new brakes, cosmetic work, new timing chain and etc. Well, no one wants a car if they gotta replace the tranny, BUT I LOVED the car and my brother has a '90 base zenki fastback so I could get some advice and such. LONG story short now: the owner looked at me then the car and his roomate and my mom threw the number "$800" ....... "okay." -handshake, receipt signed, title handed money handed- NEW OWNER OF A SEXY BLACK BANGED UP 18 YEAR OLD 240! Boom. Moving on, I'm about to put her on the road after a long while of being in the back yard with only weekends to help fix her with my brother. She's rockin' that Soshinoya badge and soon a new red "KA>SR" sticker. I'm not going to do anything under the hood to modify any power, horsepower or torque, (except get a C.A.I,) until my brother takes me out for some evasion techniques. I wanna achieve tuner/mechanic status and I want to drift for leisure. I don't want to be one of thoes god forsaken stupid girls who don't even know how to pop the hood much less know what the hazard button is. >.> But I do talk alot, so... I wouldn't PM me unless it's important. ![]()

hi my name is Billy, been around the drift scene in AZ for a few years. I own a 92 s13 coupe that I’m in the process of doing a 2j swap in. I’ve been dealing with JZ motors for a number of years now, and also own a 88 supra with a 1j swap in it (all work is done by me I’m not a go to shop kind of guy). I’m an admin on a local board call AZsupraCentral, and have also hung around with the guy over at intense for a few years. I’m one of those guys that everyone seems to know or has heard of not saying I’m anything special but if your around the AZ scene long enough you’re sure to run into me at some point or another. By trade I am a machinist so I do know quite a bit about interworking parts, there really isn’t much I can’t make but sometimes cost of part out weights my time so it’s cheaper to just buy it instead. I hope I can bring some knowledge to this board and learn something’s myself

Hey, I'm James, most people call me Jimmy or Jim. I'm originally from New Zealand, but am currently living in Melbourne.
I just bought me a tidy little 94 180SX, purely because there's absolutely no Civics here that catch my eye (Yes I'm a Honda man at heart, but 180's have always had a special place, please don't hate me) I generally don't post much, as I don't know hardly anything about SR's or any other Nissan goodies for that matter, I tend to lurk and learn |

Hi i'm nick from wisconsin. I dont own a nissan but ive driven my friends 240sx, damn that was fun!
Anyway by my friends house there is an old 240z (guessing could be a 260 or 280) sitting in some trees, going to go see if he will sell! Hopefully it will run with some effort, and if not, id like to know what kind of work would be required to do a ka24 swap into an old z chassis ![]() |

My name is Eric and I still have my original 240sx since 2002. I bought another 240sx w/ ka24det setup (same color, going about with CA SMOG crap), but didn't feel like maintaining it, so I sold that bad boy.
I live in Garden Grove, California. My current daily driver is a 2010 NIssan 370z 40th Anniversary Edition. I am now planning to work on my 1991 Nissan 240sx to become a weekend warrior while still daily drive-able. Plan as follows: Year 1- Repair damages, hoses, etc. Replace stock suspension and camber arms. Year 2 - Replace brakes with Wilwood 11" brake kit. Replace stock 15" rims with Enkei RPF1 16" rims. Year 3 - Rebuild aging KA24DE engine, it already has 200,000 miles. With this, I will be doing a sweep of the entire engine bay. Engine bolt on tuning as rules permits. The work will be done to maintain "street class" under Extreme Time Attack rules. Of course I will do the interior (given), but this 240sx won't be doing any "interior stripping." If I want that kind of car, I'd do that on my 370z ^_^;;; |

Hey guys my names Josh ... im from the SEPA area and after my buddy bought his 96 zenki i got a little 240 envy and decided i would step it up and grab one too. So after about 4 months of searching i finally found an unmolested 97 Kouki which will eventually be my KA-T daily drifter!

My name is Casey, picked up a ka24de s13 hatch a few weeks ago. Originally bought it as a winter DD, but I'm starting to fall in love. My main reason for posting/viewing this site is to learn more information about Nissans, and also for the marketplace.
