Who wants a v8 240 section on the forum - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

blu808 · 03-27-2006, 07:31 PM

Who wants a V8 240 section on this forum. Ive noticed that there is many questions regarding the v8 240s and rx7s, and this way it wouldnt clutter up the board.

**ThatGuy** · 03-27-2006, 07:38 PM

I think at least a V8 240 sticky in tech along with the CA, RB, SR, NA KA, and KA-T stickies could be done for sure.

andy31144 · 03-27-2006, 07:55 PM

I think that having a sticky would be beter than a whole section in the forum. I just don't think there is enough out there to justify an entire section.

*DJPimpFlex* · 03-27-2006, 09:16 PM

V8's are STUPID!!!!! jk. Its not a very popular swap in the S chassis yet, so i dont think its needed, but I wouldnt be opposed to the idea.

anyotherone · 03-27-2006, 11:43 PM

There are tons of people genuinely interested in swapping v8's into 240's. I think that it would set Zilvia apart in yet another way.

+1 for yes.

Angel · 03-28-2006, 07:40 AM

Yes. And more importantly I want one in an s13.

***S14DB*** · 03-28-2006, 11:38 AM

If you make a V8 FAQ I'm sure it will be stickied. No other engine has a forum. Why should V8's be so special.

'cause if god were to drive a 240 it would be powered by a heads and cam ls1.... silly goose!

aznpoopy · 03-28-2006, 05:19 PM

i think a v8 forum would be a little silly when the ka and sr don't even have their own forums.

blu808 · 03-28-2006, 08:44 PM

Well maybe we should have a:
Ka
Sr
Ca
Rb
Lsx

Areas on the forum?

**mrmephistopheles** · 03-28-2006, 08:48 PM

I'm thinking either 'V8' and/or 'Other swaps'

Ricks15 · 03-28-2006, 09:45 PM

V8 seems to like too much over kill and it might affect the balance of the 240. But hey what do I know put a section im sure that would be a popular area on this fourm anyways.

The ls1 v8 motors are 100lbs lighter than the ka.

breakindrifts · 03-28-2006, 11:42 PM

Making sections for every engine would definitly clutter shit up. Let's just sticky a "V8's and Other Engines thread."

EchoOfSilence · 03-29-2006, 12:53 AM

personally, i'm really happy that there are people who oppose this idea. sht like this reduces competition long-term.

let's keep the ls1 and other v8 swaps on the down-low so the no0bs will keep sticking to the essarr and their kayaaa's.

chaS13hatch · 03-29-2006, 12:34 PM

Yes I definitely think there should be at least some sort of sticky for that and possibly a section for VG's as well as im possibly going to make that endeavour soon

Other swaps would be more appropriate IMO. Just my .02

crazyikimasho · 03-29-2006, 01:24 PM

whoops.... double post

anyotherone · 03-29-2006, 01:33 PM

Now that I think about it, a simple faq would be enough... it's true that adding individual forums for each motor can clutter the area, however I have to admit that it's frustrating looking for RB info here on Zilvia since everything tech is just lumped in together.

*Yuri* · 03-29-2006, 03:20 PM

I find it scary that professional drifting may get to the point where a 240 will NEED a V8 to keep up with all the grossly overpowered burnout machines that are now dominating FD.

blu808 · 03-29-2006, 04:58 PM

What difference does a v8 make for keeping up? You could easily have a ka, ca, sr, or rb be competitive. The ls1 is just somthing different, reliable, and for power output very cost friendly.

*DJPimpFlex* · 03-29-2006, 06:31 PM

yea my SR with minimal mods can put up smoke and power over in 3rd gear easy. I do need more power though, but I still havent touched the boost.

Nismo180 · 03-29-2006, 06:46 PM

It's another option that should be discussed on a forum such as this. With all the arguments of which is cheaper for power KA or SR it'd be great to just throw up a link to the V8 forum and say, there is the cheapest way, good luck.

That and I do agree that we could use like an engine forum with SR, KA, V8, Etc, motors sub-forums. One thread is not nearly enough to discuss all that is involved in a V8 swap.

so when it becomes a popular swap, we'll already have a forum loaded with info for people to flock to.

andrewmp6 · 03-29-2006, 10:16 PM

i think like thatguy said maybe do a faq sticky for a v8 swap but a v8 in a rx7 is easyer then a s13/s14 theres kits for them none for nissans yet

Andrew Bohan · 03-29-2006, 10:19 PM

wrong, there's a kit

blu808 · 03-29-2006, 11:02 PM

My sponsor www.hinsonsupercars.com has a complete bolt in kit, and i also have my own kit for in shop customers.

infinitexsound · 03-30-2006, 01:44 AM

if theres more then 2 handfull of ppl i might say yes, but in this case... NO... so far theres not even one that posts on zlvia daily.... other then luke but its in a FD...

DoriftoPnoy · 03-30-2006, 04:09 AM

wow.... V8??? how did this even come up? SRs, KAs, CAs, RBs.... Doesn't seem to get any higher than 6 and we still pwn V8s

Not many would "pwn" a heads and cam ls1 swapped car. 400-450 rwhp, similiar tq with less weight and instant throttle response. Now try a blown or turbocharged one and come back and recount the glorious tale of pwnage....
