S14 5 speed swap ?'s

[babyjesus]

^^^lol I was gonna say that it looks like a solid place to start. the body looks straight for the most part which is more than i can say for a good portion of 240's out there. And jr ss is right (again) in that its not THAT old. in fact I bought by first s14 (like 08) liking it for the reason that it felt new.

3. It's multi colored and dirty as shit.
4. It doesn't run, nor have a motor in it.
5. Clean it up, make it run and it won't appear to be a POS.
6. Converted Honda owners....

Comments made should be take as opinions. Don't get butt hurt based on my evaluation. Make it run, clean it up and I'm sure it'll be a nice car.

front end is complete and looks great. i put the bumper on and the lights...

i havent been able to wash it because there is no water hose near the car

it does have a broken ka24 in it...which im replacing obviously...

the rear bumper has a broken hole that i have to fix so i can put a pop in christmas tree in to hold it. keep in mind i do have a whole willow pearl gold 240sx spare car too...

Not sure if your a troll or not, but I'm amazed at the amount of info people are giving you right off the bat instead of the usual flame on approach.

no i am not a troll...

the reason they are helping me is because i am a very widely known throughout honda forums/communities and i am just trying to get into s chassis cars. I need good info and obviously i have nice friendly zilvians here helping me decide on what to do and what to buy etc...i am the first to admit i am lost as hell and need some good guidance on how to spend money appropriately instead of buying the same things twice yada yada yada.....



once again i appreicate those who are helping me...sorry my 240 isn't the best but it is all i got to work with and i plan on making it very nice.

I have already done 2 transactions here on zilivia where i found some cool people with even cooler prices so i jumped on em...im no troll bud

Did you see the car I posted?!?! Thats my POS, plenty of us start like that and work our ways up, just dont ask for opinions often ahaha.. Honestly, everyone is right get the car running and driveable first, plenty of unknown things will pop up during that process, trust me/us! Once that happens start investing in the basics and work your way up. Looks like a decent chassis, take your time, research, upgrade where it makes sense, research, drive and learn, research and mod.. oh and research! Im lucky enough to have a job I work online, so everyday, all day Im reading..

Nissan 240sx - 5 Speed Swap - Enjuku Racing Parts, LLC

the first 2 lines they show... do i need both?? one looks long and the other looks short... what one do i need or both??

[sleepyS14se]

nevermind i see now the long one goes directly from cmc to csc

[xoxide]

Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money on a good clutch line... I bought the Isis one and it leaked straight out of the box.
Chase Bays Clutch Line - Nissan 240sx - Enjuku Racing Parts, LLC

If not, just go buy a solid brake line with fittings already on it from autozone... Works just fine and is like $3 compared to $30-60

[sleepyS14se]

i wanna just buy one so its simpler on me i ordered the chasebays

[ronny.jpn]

You needed an entire thread for a 5 speed swap? Its really not that hard, not even the first time

i have read good things about agency power parts, i had a cat delete from them on a ol rx8 i had and it was good... and in general i read good things about agency, so i would say agency is a good brand to go with

Just to put this in perspective for you, 4yrs ago I paid $1575 shipped for a set of KW V3 coilovers. This is high quality stuff that is designed to make your car go fast around a track if you know what you're doing. They aren't designed to drag the metaphorical 240sx dick in the dirt, but they ride great and do everything I ask of and more, WITHOUT sacrificing ride quality when and where I want it.

trying to order solid subframe bushings but i am confused on which set is for front and what is for the rear

[jr_ss]

There are no bushings for the front subframe...

[sleepyS14se]

ok so what would be replaced on the front then? i thought the front sub mounted to the car with bushings too...

anyways.. i got so much stuff coming in the mail thru frsport.com and chasebays and enjuku racing...i can't wait!

my exedy clutch came today

[sleepyS14se]

Am i reading this correct?? energy suspension brand rear subframe bushings require the original shell outer to stay in in order for these to fit properly?? from my understanding the old ones must be burned and knocked out and then clean it up really good yet Leave the outer original bushing shell IN the subframe while installing these ES bushings

this sounds so ass backwards..i think the whole bushing should be remove.d.

[Rich260z]

There are 4 main bushings for the rear subframe, the front crossmember is bolted directly to the frame rails. There are two front control arm bushings though. Also the energy suspension bushigns take place of the rubber part, not the metal shell.

Metal, unlike rubber does not dry up and shrink. Front control arm bushings are like this as well

[sleepyS14se]

so burn them old ones out and leave the shell intact??!
