Alright i have a 1998 240sx SE with 6703 miles on it. Im not worried about how long the motor will hold up. As long as it gets to around 60k its good. I wanna spend a couple grand on bolt ons to get as much power out of it as possible. Does anyone have any suggestions on what would be the best for it?

Yeah, put it in the Smithsonian. With 6700 miles I would wait until after that F&F drift movie and sell it for a hefty chunk of change.

turbo the engine, but if you realy only have 6k miles on it, store it for a few years and sell for 3x$.

Turboing the engine would be your best bang for the buck mod. But like others said if you really only have 6k on it save it and sell it for some profit later on down the line

Oh god no.
Please sell your car and buy another kouki S14 to make into a showcar.
Low mileage 240s are so hard to find, and doing that is like shitting on a nun. That nun didn't do anything to you! Why would you do that!?

Just give me the engine. You don't need it.
I'll give you some really cool body kit for it.

Show cars are a waste of time and money. Go buy a Civic if you want a damn showcar. Don't waste a good low mileage un-molested S14.

I'm all in support of it being made into a pretty show car.
With the requirement that the crap be driven out of it in between shows. haha.

If you want maximum money, just keep it stock and low mileage and wait for the peak of the hype. Then sell it.

If you want to keep it and enjoy the car, there's a lot you can do to an S14. Probably your best bet is to keep the chassis in really good shape and spend a little time doing your research before making a decision.

turbo it. the idea of selling it after f &f isnt gonna work. with the idea of selling it 3 times more people rather buy an SR.

DON'T turn it into some show car trailor queen, it just wouldn't be natural. It's a car, it's not a collectable, it's not super rare. It doesn't have to be your dd, just build it and drive it, then also show it if you feel so inclined.

I think what all these people aren't understanding is that you want to keep the car....
that next question i would ask is do you want a (insert color here) S14 or are you ABsolutley attached to that one with that VIN number. I GAURENTEE you you could find someone with a clen S14 with under at or around 100K on it that had a nive KA-T setup that would trade you straight accorss if not pay for your 6K car. i found a gem with a 65K unmolested 98 i honestly think that the number or 240's ANY year with under 10K on them is under 50 nationwide so realize that you have and EXTREME rarity on your hands.

I would think about that, and put out offers to see before you get to wrentching out there, that car is perfect for a collector who will pay top dollor, or a fanatic nissan nut who wants it and will pay anything for pragging rights. if i diddn't just describe you seriously what i said. that pristine car could get you a nice car and the funds to do about anyhting you wanted to it.


just food for thought.
