I don't remember if I ever posted here, so here goes.
Out in Dayton, OH and I'm the guy that can't decide what to build. Current venture is a RB25 350Z.

I have a Rotrex supercharged 370z, a Focus ST(for sale), a 96 Eclipse GSX(broken, go figure lol) and a 95 S14 SE with a kouki front end. The 240 is getting an LS3 and will be for road course / airstrip attack events, no stretched tires or weak camber setups so yeah. hi.

Here's my question....I have a 98 240 stock with an a/t. Just picked up an s13 red top with an m/t. Before I do the swap, I want to build up the engine. I did research and everyone says the s13 red top engine is better for 400hp. So how do I get there? Don't ask me about my budget, it's up there and don't tell me to send it out to a shop, we're doing all the work ourselves. So what I need is a list of parts that would make this engine reach my goal. Turbo upgrades, types of cams, fuel pumps, injectors....that kind of stuff. If someone already did a build like this can you link me to the post or if someone's is really nice and did it, I'd like to pick their brain! Thanks guys, I appreciate it!
I mean... If you wanna make 400 I would just go RB25. No block work needed for that amount of power, surprisingly inexpensive, and... It's an RB

All original

My name is Mike and I've acquired a 1990 240 fastback with a ka24e from my girlfriend. This unit is all stock gunna keep it that way, the car sat for 11 years due to smog failure lots of leaks on front of motor and the fuel system had to be completely gone through. Once I made my way to injectors had them tested and rebuilt by RC injectors of Torrance,ca it rumbled to life, lots of hours put into the car to many to list this is a cherry of a car all that's left Is AC doesn't work and new shocks front and back.

Alright so I'm Mick. I'm not new to the scene but I figured I would finally make an account here. I have an s13 thats been my dd for a couple years and now I'm building it for road racing and time trials. I have literally no budget so I fab a lot of my own parts to save some cash where I can. I'll try to post some stuff that can hopefully help some of you save some as well.

Hello all, new guy here. I'm personally new to the Nissan world. I picked a 1989 240 coupe and loving it. I started prepping for paint last weekend hopefully I'll have a pretty coupe to post on here (different thread) in a month or so.

Hi my name is Justyn, I joined this site looking for build ideas for various cars. I recently got into importing cars from japan and I'm looking for clientele. I just sold a 1991 skyline gtr and I have a gtst left. I'm open to requests from serious buyers for any car 25 years or older. I import them myself, handle shipping and have a space told hold the cars. I also have a partnership with an automotive transport company so wherever in the US you are, is no problem at all. For inquires, please email me at [email protected] Thank you 😅👌

My name is Randy and I just picked up zenki s14. I wish I would have picked one up before all this god damn drift tax... Stoked the condition on the zenki is still really good and the paint is flawless with no dents whatsoever. I'm 22 and picked up this baby to slide!

The name is Jamie. I owned a 89 hatch from 1997-2000. I knew the sales manager at the local Nissan dealership, so I asked him to find a 97-98 with a stick and any color but red. After a month, it showed up. A manual cobalt green 97. It was on the lot for 12 hours before I bought it. I drove that car for 9 years. Then in 2009, my wife said I needed to be a responsible adult and get something more practical. So I sold the car. And I've regretted it ever since. So I'm back on the hunt for another kouki, which is a lot damned harder than I expected.

Greetings! I'm Brad,

Working for Nissan has been in my family for about 40 years.
I've worked as a tech in Brisbane Australia for a number of years.
Since then I'm out of there, a free man only fixing cars for my family and friends
rather than the crazy man starring over my shoulder all day.

I've driven most Nissans before, from the 370z (work car) to the R35 (they never knew).

For most questions you can come to me, I've forgotten a few things but remember most

I've been on SR20 forum for a while however that's dead now, so here I am!

Cheers

Hi all!

My name is Matt and I'm an manufacturing engineer at an electronics company in Pennnsylvania. I currently live In the York PA area and am in the process of getting my 1993 Nissan 240SX Convertible back on the road after 3 years sitting without a fuel rail.

I've owned both this convertible as well as a 1993 coupe that I built a KA-T for but sold before I completed the project.

I've built an all motor Ford Focus for bracket racing when I was in high school and also used to bracket race my 2004 Mustang Mach 1 and an 07 Suzuki SV650S.
