Your friend is a moron.

the easiest way to prove your friend wrong:
1.open the hood..
2.count the spark plug cables...

4 spark plugs = 4 cylinder..

Every car has a spark plug for each cylinder, if you look at the engine bay there are four spark plug connectors. Hence the engin is a four cylinder.....I hope that made sense. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/turn.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':turn:'>

I'm sure your friend doesn't <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hmmm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hmmm:'> (j/k)

Don't take that for gospel.. or your friend would believe that 4cyl Ford Rangers are 8 cylinders, becuase they have 2 plugs and wires per cylinder.

Also... just tell your friend, "It's my fuckin car, and I think I know what's under the hood!"

Guys I had enough of this cover-up. I'm probably gonna get in trouble for telling you this cause its a big cover-up by nissan and all S14a owners but neither of you are right. Its actually a V8 in the S14a, there I said it nissan's cover has been blown, but someone needed to get it out in the open &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/turn.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':turn:'>

I had a twin plug CA20E...

The SR20DET must be a diesel, it doesn't have any plug wires <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

That must be where all those 4cyl RX-7s come from.

Isn't stupidity one of the 7 deadly sins? If so, your friend is going to burn in hell for this &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':devil:'>

tell your friend you got a v10 Viper under your hood <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[whateverjames]

the way this topic starter is talking, he doesn't even own a 240sx. but i'm just taking a guess. if you really do have one, you're as smart as he is &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[stil bil]

a few ways to show him is to

count fuel injectors.
ports on intake manifold not the same manny for a 6 unless it is a straight(OLD)
take heat sheild and show him the 4 ports on the exhaust manifold

if that fails just search the internet for a broschure(sp) for the 240 that gives all the info he will need...

[Jg240]

Whatever James is right...I do not own a 240 YET...but I'm looking at &nbsp;one/ for others. Thanks for all the posts... tomorrow I'll show him he's a dumbass!

[Itsuki]

hehe your friend is a funny man, you should have told him it was a 6cyl. and that it has the same engine as the skyline.

[Phlip]

Tell him it is a tri-turbo inline 6, with 3800 HP and 10000 lb-ft of torque, and that each one is hand built by a team of midgets in Carlos Ghosn's basement... Then slap the fire out of him.

I like his thinking...f*ing hilarious.

Bah, stop trying to be funny guys <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

It's an I-4 from the factory though a popular modification is to add two more cylinders on the side to make it an L-6 (four pumping up and down, two pumping side to side). Sure it's shaky, but that's the cost of more power. . .
