Hello all, My name is Dylan

I am currently a tech at a Honda dealership.

Ive been putting together a 93 Coupe for about 8 months now, i bought it as a rolling shell, and just got it driveable and halfway road-worthy this past few weeks.

Im running a single slammer for now, its the only running motor i have at the time. I have another single with some head problems, and two DOHC KAs, one with a trashed head, the other with a junk bottom end (AFAIK) I have not torn into them yet.

But the coupe is on brand new diy-boxxed standard S13 length FLCAs, Circuit Sports tension rods, manual steering converted rack (was blown out anyways), ES poly bushings for the rack and end links, Z32 rears, Q45 fronts, Adj. RUCAs, 5 lug with S14 SEs for now, DOHC KA short ram, 3" catback with test pipe, tokico blues in front with lowring springs, KYB GR2s in back with lowering springs (perhaps missing a coil or two off the springs?) Rides nice though.

Will post pics in pic thread soon

Hey ya'll, I'm Joe and I'm the proud owner of a 98 S14 that I am currently doing an S13 blacktop swap. I have the engine in already, just got to finish hooking up the grounds, fmic, radiator, etc. It's my third S-chassis and I love these cars. I'm military and stationed in New Orleans.

Hello everyone,

Nick here residing in Raleigh, NC. Current owner of a Red 1990 S13 Hatch SE with 109k miles on both body and engine. Great grandmother bought it new with 17 miles on the clock in 1989.

Plans are for a SR Redtop build and Type-X aero. Nothing outlandish, just building the car in remembrance of her.

Hey, I'm new here but not new to 240's. I have had 7 or 8 of them through my garage. I drive my cars on the track at Drift events on a regular basis. I know probably any and every part on my car. I have built 3 track cars from empty shells into FD prepped Pro Am cars. I have driven in Pro Am events from N.C. to Florida, including the Pro Am events at Road Atlanta. Most recently the XDC ( now W drift ) series where I qualified 6th.

I also have helped run Drift events since 2005 and have run my own events here in the Atlanta area. Yes it was me fighting city hall to save drifting in Altlanta last year.

I'm not blowing my own horn, just don't want to get flamed as a newb. I bring 10 years of S chassis knowledge to the table and I am a good source for trouble shooting, especially the dreaded wiring problems.

Need help, give me a shout. - Howard

Hello Zilvia my name is Pete. I'm a Radar Tech. in the military and currently deployed to the middle east. I joined Zilvia to learn more about Nissans and talk about car stuff. I'm not a noob to forums or wrenching on cars. I've spent 3 years in Japan and got hooked on cars the moment I drove a rhd mk4 supra. While I was there, I owned a MK4 Supra and a Nissan C34 Laurel. I loved driving both cars, but enjoyed getting sideways with my laurel more. I sure do miss that car a lot. I worked on many different cars while there, from s13's/r32 gtr's /and fd's. I was on a local car forum there as well and meet a great amount of awesome people. I hope it's the same here on Zilvia. I've browsed Zilvia may times in the past, and just didn't get around to joining till now. I brought so many parts back from Japan and I'm looking forward to building a s14 when I return stateside. I drive a old Chevy 4x4 pickup.
I will be buying a 240sx with in a couple of months from now, either on Zilvia or local to me, whatever catches my eye first.

Hello, joined the site to learn about the 240sx in all its models. I just graduated college and started my career, so over the next year I will be stashing away cash to buy a (hopefully) virgin 240 coupe to start autocross racing and open track racing with.

I live in San Antonio, Tx... my daily beater is a '13 VW GLI, i left it stock because its the family car.

Hello all,

I am Zack, I am currently serving in the USAF stationed in Japan. I have always liked the 240s since a guy at one of my previous duty stations had a nice looking S14 in black. I offered to buy his car when he mentioned selling it but I was to late. A long time later I now find myself stationed in Japan and I just recently picked up a pearl white 99 S15 Spec R (non aero model). It is just as I dreamed it would feel to drive! Its so shocking to me to finally be in Japan and see how cheap these cars and parts go for, not just Silvias but everything. I recently saw a 99 FD type R go for 6k, needless to say I was floored. I am currently in search of all the drift guys and car lovers in hopes to find parts suppliers. I am entitled to bring 9k lbs of household goods back whenever this dream trip ends and I plan to have car parts filling up every last pound of that.

I have a 77 Trans Am I was restoring in a storage unit in CA, and we have our family car in LA a 06 Charger Daytona Hemi LOL. I have always wanted to get back into the import scene but was hesitant after my USDM Integra Type R was stolen. I hope to learn as much as I can from everyone here, and to make lots of friends and contacts all over the car scene.

s14 New to ZILVIA

The name is Tom and I love Nissans. I've owned a few in my lifetime. 1991 240sx Coupe, 1995 Nissan Maxima (Cringe), 2003 Nissan 350z Touring, and now I have picked up a 1995 240sx SE. While stationed in Japan I got to own a 1998 Nissan Cube, 1998 Nissan Bluebird, and 1998 Nissan Laurel (by far my favorite to this day). So not a whole lot like some of you guys on here. But enough to know I love Nissans. I'm semi-new to forums, I read a lot on these things but, don't really post a lot. However, with this new 240...I can tell you right now...I'll be posting a bit more.
