Well, I've been registered here for a while just never posted. I currently own (until the check clears) a 1996 200sx se-r. The car is completely modded. Turbo etc.. (http://www.floridasr20s.com under Matt) Anyhow I want to get a 240. I'm tired of WWD. That teamed up with the fact that I have probably one of the best 4 cyllinders Nissan ever made mated to possibly the worst tranny they ever made.

So I'm stuck between S13, or S14. I love the fact that the S14 looks more luxurious, but the S13 looks. Well you all know. Anyhow just wanted to formally introduce myself. Hope I make as many friends here as I did on the SR forum.

welcome..

judging by your sentra i'm sure your 240 won't be a disappointment when you're done with it :)

Nice sentra, at least you know your way around the SR.

We can't really say your hopping on the bandwagon, you seem to already be on it, just the wrong side :D.

Good luck on getting your 240, get an S13 :D.

BTW all those SR20s on your sight and no 240s :(, you guys need to expand your range in cars :bigok:

Yes, I'm no stranger to SR's. As far as 240's getting on our site all are welcome. We've just not had any swapped 240's ask. I have several friends in South Florida who are putting down well over 300hp to the front wheels. Traction is a myth to those cars though. I'm REALLY stuck as to which chassis to choose. I might flip a coin.. lol

As for my car. Man I love that car. I have more money into it then I care to think about. But alas, it wasn't meant to be. I can't continue to blow trannies. I'm on my 3rd now. The last one went without me even really on the gas. Everytime it's been a 3rd gear failure. I did all the wrench time on my car myself, with the exception of the swap. Good friends of mine are starting a shop and they gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. Plus my work schedule would've permit me to put as much time into the job as needed.

So who in Florida is up for helping me find a car??:D :D

As for the G20 owner. I hope he finally got that thing running correctly. He was having SERIOUS problems for a while. I believe he ended up going the JWT route. So I'm guessing you're his friend with the Silvia conversion? If so I've seen pics of your car at a gas station of some sort.

Oh and here's some more recent pics of the car. I fabbed the intercooler piping myself as well. Don't think I did that bad.

Yeah, his car was acting up for a while, even with the JWT ECU. It's been in the shop for about 4 weeks, but is finally going to be done today at 10am. And yeah, my car is in those gas station pics :D... Here's one...

Well the 200sx is sold. I recieved payment yesterday. Now I just wait until the Auto Hauler picks it up. It's going to suck watching it go. But alas time for a new project. I found a REALLY clean S13 with new paint, lowered, wheels, and stereo for $4000. The body is really nice, and that was my main concern. That and all the A/C stuff was just replaced. I have $5000 to spend, and I figured I'd take the extra $1000 and put it towards the SR. What do you all think?

Going to pick up your car in time?

Be happy to see you there. I am leaving here at 1PM..(2.2 hr drive)

Looks like I'll be riding in a friends boosted B13 se-r. I don't want to risk breaking my car. Or rather the new owner's car.

Good idea!

Are you going to bring any food? I did not know if we should or not so I did grill up some things...just in case and even though they will be at room temp, quite edible, nevertheless.

See ya there!
