hey everybody. im not to new to 240's. i have known about drifting and 240's for about 3 years now. i have just gotten an S14 zenki. just a body but i am in the process of putting in a stock KA. i don't plan on moding the engine very much, not for now at least. i graduate in may and will have alot to look forward to so :P but i do plan on doing a completely new paint job. i just cant decide on whether or not to paint it black or silver, but it's going to be CLEAN.that's for sure.lol. after that i plan on doing an S14.5 conversion. my car already has coilovers, harnes bar, sway bars, and a new suspension. i have a replicated supermade exhaust tip (custom made by me) i plan on putting on with a resonator. i hope to find a cheap instant gentleman body kit. looks clean to me. my dad works for both LUX racing (dodge vipers) and Ferrari here in Atlanta. noooo, im not rich. took me almost a year just to get this car. i am 18 now and i think it is finally time to paint my own master piece.
but anyways, thanks
i hope to get to know every soon. names bobby

Hey everybody, I've been registered on the site for a while now but I haven't really got around to posting. I have a SR powered S13 that needs some work but when it goes it goes pretty good. I've got some electrical issues and it needs a tune but my hopes are to get it running reliably within the next few weeks. I'll post some pics up in the pic thread of my piecer... lol...

Hey everyone, I'm not "new" to Zilvia per se... I just don't get on here that much. Been playing with cars for a little over 10yrs now, I am military and cut my teeth with an R32 GT-R and then a 180SX during my 6yrs in Japan. My current project here in St. Louis is a 240 hatch that is getting rebuilt from the ground up with all of the stuff I took to the states off of my 180- which is pretty much everything but the body lol! Anyway, good to be "back"... thx!

popping the cherry

yo whats up everyone, just joined the forum and i must say its taking me a min to even navigate this place. A little different as to where im coming from (clubfrontier.org). Im currently driving an 05 Nismo Frontier with to many mods to list, kind of a bummer you can't post a picture in here. But anyways im trying to get rid of it as im sick of paying $90 to fill the dam thing up. Im looking to restore an s14 preferably a kouki. One thing ive noticed so far is this forum has a ton of info, with a little more time on here i should figure out of how to dig it up.

Hello everyone!

I'm Nick, I just sold my DD Twin Turbo 300zx today and now currently looking to pick up a 240sx.

After 2 years of dumping money into the z to keep it running, I realized I was having far more headaches then fun with the car. Especially after this last event of an electrical issue that was preventing the car to start.

I ended up letting the z go for 4,500. (took a total loss)

Lately I haven't had any luck finding a 240sx. Most people in my area want WAY to much for a Beat up 240.

Hopefully I can find one soon though!

s13 new to the site, not to the scene

Looking for a used ka24e, building my daughter a car to learn what Nissan is all about. Maybe I can steer her away from all this slow ass Honda crap! Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,

Im Sherwin from the Netherlands. Right now i own a '00 MR2. This is my first car, also my dailydriver. I've swapped the engine for an 2zz-ge. The car puts out a little more than 200 whp.

As it is an 2 seater midengine car it's really fast while taking corners, it weights just 950kg so it's doing great on track and on the streets. But it's just not enough for me.

I've always loved the way an s14/s15 silvia looks. And i like the fact that is equiped with a turbo. So that's why i'm here! Right now im looking for a nice s14 which is already imported into the Netherlands.

I want to make it clean looking but fast. My first goal will be 300-350 whp, after that i want to get myself another SR20DET which i'm going to build to secure it's reliability while going up the hp's. It has to be my daily so i'll have a spare motor.

Greetings,

Sherwin

My names Matt, from Louisville Kentucky. I used to have a z32 in immaculate condition before a deer rad out in front of me goin down the road and I rolled over in a ditch in an attempt to avoid it. I fell in love with the s chassis cars when my friend let me drive his sr kouki, so I had to get one. I just bought an s13 with a red top with a few slight mods. I have plans to cage it and add a few things such as aem ems and a bigger turbo before I eventually get it out on the track.
