Hello! I'm a newbie!

[P4rD0nM3]

Hi other 240SX owners! I got my 1990 240SX last year and I live in CO. I hope i'm welcomed here! SR20DET is comin' soon. I'm not that rich and I still have a lot of years in college. My car may not be the greatest/fastest/sexiest car out there. I'm also a newbie at cars. I'd like to know more about my car and hopefully I don't get flamed by asking dumb questions. Because seriously, I don't have any knowledge about this car. It's going to be a daily driver car. I don't want it to be that fast or a show stopper. I want it to look like as OEM as possible. I'll probably start asking questions as soon as i'm done lookin' at some important threads here! Again, I thank you for this site! Kudos!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Welcome..! Be sure to search first with any questions you have.. once you finished searching, search again using different key words... after that, search on google, after that.. search on Fresh Alloy, after that.. look through your FSM,.. and then post your question here if all those have failed.

:werd: and welcome to zilvia

[TheSnail]

Or you can post with out searching, but make sure you put "I searched every where ! And could'nt find anything!" Before your question.

Its a loop hole in the rules that some clever newbies have found.

[infinitexsound]

[speeddreamz]

Welcome, remember that you should use the search button, and you can specify which section to search under to help narrow your searches. If you ask a question and get lots of angry questions, its natural zilvia loves to "flame" people. So don't be discouraged, just search first.

[chlatboy]

SR20DET is comin' soon.

I don't want it to be that fast...

Keep the KA if you dont want it to be fast. Nothin wrong with a KA no matter what the SR guys say!!! Oh yea and SEARCH!

Also, your Name for the forums is very...um...damn its hard to get the word...Ill choose ricey.

[Mervyn]

Welcome to the Zilvia forums! ^_^

[P4rD0nM3]

Nothing's wrong with KA but...it has over 100k miles on it already. And i'm thinkin' if ever cops pulled me over...hehehe. My name is PardonMe. P4rD0nM3 is my IRC nickanme in Undernet.Org.

[ThatGuy]

I don't understand. If cops ever pull you over, then it would be worse to have the SR. In case you didn't realize it, it's illegal.

[infinitexsound]

blah 200k KA24de still runs like a champ...

[TheSnail]

I did not know what your name was, I though irt looked like it said "Prefer Dome" , but pardonme is cool to I guess. PS: 100k on a ka is when the motor has finished breaking in. The damn things just wont die.

[P4rD0nM3]

I don't understand. If cops ever pull you over, then it would be worse to have the SR. In case you didn't realize it, it's illegal.

Oh you misunderstood my post. I said i'm having second thoughts about the SR too. However, my KA is making some noises when I start the car. Kinda like a belt or something inside hitting something. Anyone in Co? Hehehe.

That's so nice to say about KA. I'm being molested in another car forum by having a KA24DE. They keep sayin' that it's gay coz it's a truck engine. :(

PS: They love hondas.

[yudalicious]

the infamous KA ticking noise, there's probably millions of pages written on it, a simple search would turn up enough reaidng for several nights.



tell them the viper engine is also a truck engine, hehe

[ThatGuy]

^So is the VQ35, see if they still like the 350Z. Oh, and since they're Hon-Duh guys, the B20 is a truck engine as well. "Truck Engine" is a term used by the weak minded who believe everything written by Primedia. :hammer: The KA is a perfectly good engine, capable of achieving the same streetable horsepower numbers as any other engine out there.

[Project D]

Welcome to the zilv. Im also from CO. Whereabouts are you from in CO?

[P4rD0nM3]

Grand Junction man, then sometimes i'm at Denver. Freakin' Hon-duhs (Hehehe, thanks). Well, they love drag racing, I guess I should stop posting there. May I know if Nissan's are also good drag cars?

EDIT: I only saw two silvia's/240's in Grand Junction. One was like it should be save by me or another nissan guy and the other one's the blue silvia that I always see parked near Mesa Mall.

No, I'm not steven, but I know him. My name is RJ. You might have seen my daily driver around town, it's a black cavalier with a c/f hood and gunmetal wheels. I've been driving it because the 240 is in the rebuilding stage and the interior isgutted up right now, including the seats. Soon to have all new interior (carpet, seats, seatbelts, steering wheel, quick release hub, etc..).

[makav3li]

[Project D]

Nice. When I had my DSM, it was getting repaired so I swapped it out for my grandma's new STS. Ill bet watching her drive around that car was interesting....................

[TheSnail]

^^^ Did you have an auto Eclipes rs?

[Project D]

^^^Hahahaha. No, I had a 1997 GS-T Auto, but had a lot of problems with it, (namely crank walk) and insurance was rough too. The 240 will be faster when its finished and still be a cheapy on insurance.

[Pank]

KA's are nice until i drove an sr


THATS RIGHT IT IS THE BEST ENGINE EVER AND YOU CANT DO ANYTHING TO A KA, THE SR IS THE BEST ENGINE, THEY USED IT IN THE SPACE SHUTTLE
