Hey guys Haven't logged on in years, I was on here in the mid 2000's, but lost my log in info, then got married and sold all my 240's, then bought another in 08-09 sold it because the wife was bitching. Now I'm Divorced and well I'm looking for my 10th S-chassis. I'm glad this place is still up and going. Hope to see some of you at the track in Texas soon.

What is up guys my name is Mike. Bought a s13 a couple weeks ago and already undergoing a swap of all suspension components. Feel free to follow my Instagram to see the 240 build @omgs13. It is a little different as I am coming from the Euro scene and still have my show car and that build can be found on instagram under @mk6bagged. Excited to see what I can do in this scene and looking forward to learning from you guys and gals. Anyone local to lakeland fl?

s13 I'm new...

I go by "Hollywood" on the street. I live in Los Angeles (Hollywood) and I'm a part of a family oriented car club, called Inclusive. I currently daily an F50 Infiniti Q45. Current mods are an exhaust mod (installed by time and riding lowered) that sounds great, BC Racing coilovers, a 350Z VLSD swap, and the rear end speed sensors unplugged so she can dance.

But, it's never going to be the drift machine I want. So here I am with an S13 hatch, with a stock engine that has no compression, or transmission. I want to swap a U.S. 1j in it, and add twin turbos to make around 700-800 HP without having to spend on the internals.

I'm here, to learn!

Hi guys, new here, Nissan guy since high school a long long time ago, built & raced old school Datsuns, track & mostly drags.
Best old school time was 12,97 in a 1974 P710 powered by a L20b with a 4 fogger NOS/ Nitrous Mastermind controller.
Moved away from the old school scene into some V8 stuff then a S13 SR20DET which eventually got to 425whp stock bottom, bottom mount Frankenstein TD06.
Moving back into the old school stuff now, one getting a stock bottom FJ20et/ gt3076 ( Nearly done)
The other a fully sleeved & built SR20vet / GTX3582 Gen 2 / CD009 blah blah.
Will keep posting as the progress moves along.
I own a machine shop building cool engines & manufacturing one off engine bits and pieces for some of the engines we build eg. Aluminum & Billet flywheels, vernier cam years for none listed engines, SS header manufacturing for NA & Turbo application. You get the idea.
Looking forward to the next year or so as I embark on these two personal build as well as customer stuff.
Good to be here!

Hi,

I'm Dan and from the UK, owned my s14a/kouki for the last 7 years and am quite heavily into my drifting. I see you guys have a lot of good events over in America and would love to come over and see a Lonestar drift or similar event sometime.

Will post up a build thread soon as spent a lot of time on my car over the years.

Thanks

Hey everyone!

I recently bought a 1991 Nissan 240sx Hatchback. Was kinda pieced together by the previous owner so I have odds and ends to chase, but it runs good and that's what matters to me. It came with a done-up suspension, and set up to drift (Megan Racing coilovers, adjustable control arms and everything I guess. Something to delve into at a later point). I'm currently working on de-driftifying the car, as it's not really my intentions. I plan to use it as an enjoyable car to take on the weekends, respect traffic laws, and keep out of a ditch.

So far I've bought a trunk to replace the mess of bondo, rust, and holes that was left for me. I'm waiting for North Carolina's temperamental weather to make up it's mind to paint match it. I've also recently received Roku LED headlights and installed those (better than my daily's lights )

I drive a stanced and tuned 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth as a daily, but that's not what I'm here for. I have to add "stanced and tuned" for people including myself to care

Nice to meet everyone

'ello all.

My name is Cory. Just bought a bone stock 1993 S13 240SX. I'm technically the second owner of this car. She's my first time in the RWD scene (mostly drove Hondas before this).

Looking forward to learning more about these cars as I add light mods to mine, but for the most part I'm keeping her stock as she's quite the survivor. Looking forward to showing off some pics.

Thanks for having me.

Hey hey,

Just bought a TH1 blue 91 Silvia Ks as a project. Previous owner got hit and never got around to fixing it.

The the car runs and drives fine, but needs a new core support. I've already sourced fenders (only one was damaged in the accident, the other was somewhat rusty) and I might've found a hood. I've got a POS bumper for the time being, but I'm looking for an aero bumper like the car had from factory. Looking for either a right side triple projector or a set of bricks.

As far as mods it's got a quick-release wheel, turbo timer, a mild exhaust, BC coilovers, and period wheels wrapped in (for some reason) snow tires. Stock otherwise.

I'm in the Seattle area (Mill Creek), though I might as well be in Everett.

Trying to get the car done before NissanFest (April 13), wish me luck!

KA New member from KS

Hi, new member from northeastern KS here. I picked up a black 1995 240 last summer and just got around to registering. I've owned three S13s in prior years, turbocharging my 90 KA24E and eventually swapping a DE in from a 96 before selling it. Ive lived in Japan for almost 5 years out of a 10-year enlistment in the Navy. Miss it there but glad to be home.

What's up everybody, My name's Brendan. I drive a 1993 240sx Fastback. Although I've had several 240's since graduating HS in 2012.

Went through several motor swaps already, but nothing extravagant. most were KA-KA swaps. Just finished another KA-KA swap in my current 240 due to a seized motor. I also have an RB20DET that I took apart waiting to be rebuilt.

I live on the island of Oahu, HI. The car scene here is very diverse, but the vehicle laws here are stupidly ridiculous.

After 7 years of owning 240's, I've yet to experience 350rwhp in one. lmfao.
