1st post

Hey everyone I am new to Zilvia.net but I have wanted an S13 for quite some time and now I finally have one. I got an 89 240sx with 115k on it's less than meaty KA24E SOHC....i bought it with a blown drivers front strut and I got a full set of tokico blue struts/springs......doesn't include the mounts of course so after getting the struts and taking off the blown one off and realizing the mount and boot are toasted, I had to spend yet another $115 for mounts and boots...so I am currently still waiting for those in the mail.

Next thing to be done is the dreaded rusted frame rail on the driver's side that you can see the exhaust header through! Still unsure if I am going to do this myself or pay for it to be done...I don't have a welder so i would have to buy one If I do it myself...The frame rails are actually cheap the rocker panels however...are definitly over $100 a piece!! and I need both..... Already putting so much $$ into this car...and I fear this is just the very start lol...be a while before I can get my hands on an SR20DET or an RB motor of some kind

Anyone ever try to do a 4wd skyline drivetrain on an S13??

hi

what's up people? so i'm cheating on shift-lock.net to come here a bit.
i was a member here waaaaay back when. mrmephistopheles and i are probably almost gay together. (hi kevin! hi lisa!) we were over in japan together too.
oh and my wife's friend... justin? i think? i suck at names... anyway he has a green s14 and told me to sign up. i figured i've been away long enough to come back haha

right now i am looking for a donor s14 (prefferably in good shape) that i can add all my goodies i brought back from japan with me from my fully built monster. if anyone knows of a car in socal (SD, OC, LA, riverside) that is 5 speed (to hell with swaps) and not maroon, red, green, or that funky purple... let me know!!!!

thanks and i'll see you all around!

New on Zilvia

Just dropping an intro letting people know I'm knew. A friend has been on for some time and continiously encouraging me to get on. I got a 95 that is in the process and a 93 vert that is a virgin to mods but I'm trying to get them both up to standards.

s14

Whats up guys im Jon from fullerton, CA. I bought a 96 zenki about a month ago, with a blacktop sr20 w roughly 62k miles. Also has ACT 6 puck clutch, short shifter, koyo radiator, tein flex coilovers w/ edfc, hotpipe with hks ssqv, apex full exhaust, and gunmetal tenzo rims.

So far in the 2-3 weeks ive owned it i spent close to 6 or 7 bills buying parts to make it more jdm. Such as emiblems, logos, CF trim, kouki tails, and I also recently bought german glass headlights. Im really loving this car and I think all I need now is a Cf hood, body kit, and probably some bronze/gold wheels.

Well I guess thats it! Nice to meet all of you guys/gals

Hey all I'm new here. Been on 240sxforums.com for awhile under the SN Car Crazy Curry. Found this forum after 240sxforums had a server issue last week and am def glad I did. Right now I am piecing together a complete 89 240sx out of my beat up DD that blew the engine and one that had a twin cam transplanted in it and it had blown so someone stripped it. Seems like the knowledge and comraderie on here is a lot better and I def like the atmosphere here more. Looking forward to learning a lot from everyone on here, even though this will be my 5th 240.

Hi everyone, name's Elliott. I'm from the 909 in good ol SoCal, just like... a lot of other 240 drivers I guess. Bone stock 95 Zenki S14 SE, no money = no mods. The whole open diff thing isn't too fun, but I'll get it welded one of these days... hopefully I'll have a few pieces on my Zenki by the end of the summer! I've heard great things about Zilvia in the past, and I admit I've lurded for a while; glad to be joining the community!

Hey guys, i'm Kris from the Northern Cali area. All my homeboys have 240s and I've got 3 B13 Sentras (2 of them SE-Rs with SR20DE). I love 240s and hope to one day own one (with an SR20 in it). I love clean cars and praise performance mods to engine, transmission, and suspension. I really dislike ricers who ruin the Nissan scene, like Honda ricers have done for the import tuners.

Hey all, my name is Corey, I reside in Virginia Beach, I've been into the car scene overall for like 5-6 years. I'm 19. I have owned 6 vehicles: 1972 Olds Cutlass Supreme, 1996 Acura Integra with a semi built ls, 2002 yamaha R6, 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, 1992 toyota pickup lifted 6 inches on 36's and my current ride is a 2001 4 door dodge dakota that I hate. I just purchsed my truck about a month ago and hate it, ive realized i cant get away from having something fun to ride around in daily. I am fairly new to the nissan scene, but Im finding 240's more and more interesting. at the end of the summer I will be looking for a stockish 97-98 240 for a project and I cant wait. Figured I would start learning my stuff before I actually have the 240 though so here I am.

Hey everyone. Not new to Zilvia but just created an account so I guess that makes me a n00b. I don't own a 240 but I just bought an e30 325i that is going to be my AutoX/drift/fun car. Just dropped it on H&R Race springs with Bilsteins and am starting to gut it. Many mods to come. I'll post pictures soon. I love 240s and love the styling everyone is doing these days. Stretched tires, slammed, etc etc and I plan to incorporate many of these styles into my e30. Can't wait to drift! FullOpp FTW
