What's up!?! I've been lurking around for a while since I've been looking and researching 240s. I finally found a deal I couldn't pass up! It's an auto, but only 104K miles, and for $2500 it was a steal. Don't get me wrong, it's in need of some TLC, but I love projects. I was really surprised at the power the KA has. It's faster than my girlfriend's V6 firebird.

Anyway, love the site, and don't worry I know how to search.

welcome and good find, s14 for that cheap is pretty good, just find yourself a 5 speed and dump the slushbox.

Yeah it's tempting to convert, but I'll have the money for an SR swap next year, and the plan is to do it then.

Do the suspension first IMHO. It's very easy to overpower the stock setup.

I love the SilEighties. Hell, I'd LOVE to have a Datsun 510 to be a sleeper, but I needed a car that I could depend on to get me back and forth to school. Maybe one day as a project!

ST sway bars and Flex's are the best set up IMHO. I would also add rear upper arms and check your T/C rods.

Flex's are great for the street. Very light spring rates.

Whiteline sway bars are much more adaptable to changes in your setup since they are adjustable. ST's work well though, and are cheaper.
