^Cool, one of those two tone things I was talking about! S "13's" I think they call them?





I actually had one for a week, then, like the last three 13's I had before it (mixed in along the way of my zenkis), realized S14 Zenkis are the essential 240SX, then sold it to help finance the above car LOL.

Thanks bro. I think you were right about the 17 vs. 18 thing you told me way back. I did some measuring to try to calculate how much clearance I will or will not have and I'm fairly sure that with 17's I wouldn't have even been able to get out of my driveway.

Curious, not being critical, but why would you prefer the DW rears to PSM?

I have the PSM Knuckles on my S13 and am Amazed by the build quality. They also have spherical bearings instead of poly like DW. Also secondary caliper bracket, etc. I think PSM rears, +Risers gets you something like 40mm of RC Correction, add 5mm at the lower balljoint/taper rod and you're at 45mm which is what my S14 has. I've heard so many horror stories about people breaking axles with the DW rears....

Also, 1on1, if you do end up getting another set of Ganadors just to swap glass, drop me a line before you sell your other set. I'm really trying to save money for paint right now, but I should have some extra funds towards the end of the month.

I already have someone who messaged me regarding my ganadors if I plan on picking up a new pair. However, the reason why I would run the DriftWorks rear knuckles is due to PSM does not support the Z32 rear drum e-brake, and I just converted my rear this past weekend.

IMO, the hydro e-brake is just "hype" and "not really" necessary for drifting. Also, replacing cables or upgrading to z32 rear is a cheaper solution to lock the wheels...

Ive always had good success with making sure I keep newer stock calipers on the car. Cheaper pads help too. This isnt on a track car or anything though. Just weekend warriors. My stock calipers seem to lock better than the drum setup I had previously.

Most definitely but I already had plans for my car and making into reality. On the other hand, I wasn't able to lock my rear brakes ever since I owned my car so I feel relieved to have it working again.

Atleast you can stick with one plan. All my 240's seem to turn into drift rats. I decided Im actually gonna try to make one nice. Its gonna be a long wait though. Literally having to replace everything on the car. One thing at a time.

As it sits now:

Same here. Had four one night before they changed it. After three I ended up kicking out a friends windshield and then left and drank another. Roommates woke me up the next day in the passenger seat of my car. 4 loko is no joke.

4loko WAS no joke until they changed the formula, iirc. I remember shotgun'in one before a club and I was pretty good (my heart felt like it wanted to come out and punch me in the dick and face), so I drank another one after the club for an after party at a friend's house. In the club, I also had a silver back (in a pint glass; redbull + hypnotiq and a shot of bacardi 151), two beautifuls aka french connection (henessey + grand marnier), 4 shots of patron, and I couldn't feel my face that whole night.

On the other hand, you should see how I first got my s14 and the phases I've gone through...
