[frenchy]

[Darkvillin]

i should be there...count me in. although my car is banged up in the front and in the process of getting a kouki face lift. it'll either be almost done, completely not done at all, or ill drive the z31. lol thanks for the invite guys.

[Darkvillin]

Just wanted to say that I posted details of the event on my blog. Hopefully more people will be aware of the meet up when they read it. I dont get any money for having my blog, but if you want to check it out, here it is... Natural Selection Drift/Car Club: 240sx Owner's Meet and Greet (http://arnaturalselection.blogspot.com/2011/01/240sx-owners-meet-and-greet.html)

I'm just trying to bring attention to and cover the arkansas area car scene. It's kind of hard when you don't know a whole lot of people in your area that are into import cars. Any way, i hope you don't mind me posting it up on my blog.

I am in no way trying to steal credit for setting this up. just wanted to share the good news on my blog.

[DriftVader]

thanks for posting that up man. if you need any help with the kouki conversion then just let me know (wesamiss)

[sr20det-s14]

I'll try to make it but ill be driving my beat up 3 series lol. I used to own a 240 but sold it cause I couldn't get er running

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

looks like i won't be making it to this. oh well, the arkansas economy sucks, so it's not my fault.

[WESamiss]

So you will not come and meet up with everyone cause you dont have money?

You dont have to go to playtime pizza... its just a little thing some of my friends and i thought would be fun.

[WESamiss]

Weather is causing us to move the date 2 weeks from tomorrow.

18th of Feb? anything important going on then?

[frenchy]

sounds good to me because i have national guard drill this weekend. so now i can come!

[Darkvillin]

so i didn't miss it? it's going to be feb 18th @ 1pm (1300 for you military guys) lol. my back has been making it difficult to walk. hopefully i will be upright by that date! anyone have a decent kouki front bumper for sales?????!!?!?!?!?! lol

[WESamiss]

is there anything going on for the 18th? cause if not then that seems like a better date.

[Darkvillin]

[ryanw501]

[ziptiemechanic]

Defiantley interested in a meet

[ryanw501]

Got 2 anyone else

[ziptiemechanic]

seems like no one wants to meet up

[ryanw501]

U running a s13 or 14 where u stay

[ziptiemechanic]

s14 and im out in jacksonville

[ryanw501]

Hopefully I'll. Have my s14 running this week just gotta get a clutch flywheel and radiator fan

[ziptiemechanic]

I'm trying to gather the rest of the parts I need before I do my sr/manual swap. Just got set back with a snapped intake camshaft.

[ryanw501]

I just ordered some 18x10.5 rims for rear and 18x9.5 rims for front need coilovers and radiator fan if u know anyone

[ziptiemechanic]

I got some 18x10's in the rear and some 18x9's for the front. Haven't put the fronts on because I'm still in the process of refinishing them. Theres a guy parting out a s14 on craigslist.

[ryanw501]

You know anyone that would have a clutch flywheel or starter

[ziptiemechanic]

Not off hand

[ziptiemechanic]

Have you tried arrides.com nwaimports.com, there might be someone on either one that just might have one. Pick and Pull is showing one s14/ 5 s13 at there Cabot yard and 2 over at Little Rock.

[ryanw501]

Got my rims in yesterday.... Found a clutch too.... woohoo

[ziptiemechanic]

I'm almost done working on a gauge setup for the driver side door vent. I'll post some pics up.

Almost done. Just gotta fix some imperfections, reprimer, paint and then install.

[ryanw501]

Looking good

[ziptiemechanic]

Thanks man. Should be putting the finishing touches on it today. I'll post some pics of the final install. Here's some pics of the vent with a gauge temp installed.

[lucky_brett]

Do you guys go to the meets on Friday and Saturday night in NLR. Haven't seen many s14's there, i have two s13's.

[ryanw501]

Hey lucky u know any one with a clutch or flywheel that is for sale. My guy flaked out on me.

[ryanw501]

Anyone in the little rock area want to help me at pick n pull

[ziptiemechanic]

Do you guys go to the meets on Friday and Saturday night in NLR. Haven't seen many s14's there, i have two s13's.

I don't even know where people meet up at around here. I just moved here back in July. However most of the 240's i've seen have been out in Cabot.

[ryanw501]

My s14 isn't functional right now.

[lucky_brett]

yeah a lot of guys are from cabot due to the air force base, i actually just bought another s13 from one of the guys. the meets our on friday and saturday at bed, bath, and beyond parking lot around 10:30. its right there by hooters. I don't know anyone at the top of my head that has a clutch and flywheel, and can't go to you-pull it since i work both my jobs today.

[ziptiemechanic]

You didn't by chance buy a yellow s13?

[ryanw501]

I ended up with an extra pressure plate and flywheel if anyone needs one

[ziptiemechanic]

New pics of the door gauge setup. Still need to fix some imperfections.

[ryanw501]

Looks good

[ziptiemechanic]

Do you know if those S14's over at pick and pull had the driver side door vents still? Thinking about picking them up.

[ryanw501]

I dont recall but I'm going back today or tomorrow

[ziptiemechanic]

Could you let me know. Also all the 240's at the Cabot pick-n-pull are auto.

[ryanw501]

Thats the one I went to lol

[ziptiemechanic]

Did you ever go to the one in Little Rock?

[ryanw501]

Come to find out neither flywheel I ended up with will work. So back to square one

[ziptiemechanic]

Did you pick one up from a auto? The auto one's shouldn't work for a manual, but the ka24de and ka24e flywheel should be interchangeable.

[ryanw501]

I was told today by several people that mine won't work. Its off a s13 I think an 89

[ziptiemechanic]

So your trying to put a s13 flywheel on a s14? It should work as long they are both manual flywheels. They are interchangeable.

[ryanw501]

Is there not a sensor in the s14 flywheel?? There is a pickip sensor of some type ok the trans I'm new to these 240 issues

[ziptiemechanic]

There is a crankshaft position sensor on the s14 tranny, not on the flywheel itself. You'll just get a CEL only because you don't have the s14 flywheel. It has magnets or a notch of some sort to trigger the sensor, but the s13 flywheel will work.

[ryanw501]

Do u know how it works. Does it calculate crank position by counting teeth?

[ziptiemechanic]

Here's some links to other threads about compatibility.

[ryanw501]

Hey man I really appreciate that info. Thanks do you know where to get a flywheel resurfaced.

[ziptiemechanic]

I'll have to look on arrides.com. I know the guys on there recommended some machine shops a while back.

[ziptiemechanic]

Apparently Motor Pro here in Jacksonville is the place to go for any machine work

[ziptiemechanic]

theres got to be more 240 owners on here. Got to get a meet set up

[frenchy]

Hey it would be nice to get a meet set up sometime soon. I'll drive down from Fayetteville to come if we get one set up. I'll be at the one tm at clinton library also.

[ryanw501]

I can't be there tomorrow... Got to finish paint on engine bay and drop in engine... But I will be say the next

[sr20det-s14]

man i need another 240. i miss mine but oh well anyone have a stock one for sale on the cheap

[freeagent3117]

I can meet up if my car gets finished!!!!! Motor is in, just have to mount intercooler and piping, attach harness to eng, lower harness and add fluids. The lower harness is intimidating me tho :dead: oh and attach exhaust.

[bj180sx]

Any of you guys have a good ka24e block??
