I'm now officially a member of the community. Thanks to all the great research here, I was able to select and buy a great S14. Its a 95 240 SX with a SR20DET blacktop, and the cooldest AC ever. Lowered 1" on Eibachs W/ 17" OZ racing wheels. It has an FMIC installed but is still running on the stock side mount until I get the new piping. First job is to hook up the speedo, odo, cruise control, and get a turbo timer. It may be missing the speed sensor. Any info or links on how to hook this up would help me to get started on a parts order. I don't have time to search or fill out my profile yet, but I just wanted to share the great news. The car loves to go fast, and is very reliable. I drove it back 700 mi from Miami W/O any problems. It has the worst blue paintjob ever on top of red paint, so it will need a complete makeover. I plan on doing a kouki front conversion W/ Vertex silvia body kit (the one they show on a yellow car W/O a wing). I was thinking about S14.5, but it costs more and doesn't actually resemble a true silvia.

Cool Man! I am up your way a few times a year...my Folks live there.

Glad you love your car...take care of her, she can get p i s s e d off and bite....Plus, their are alot of lame drivers in your area..and cops that will wear you a new one for a few MPH over.

Like to greet and meet sometime...get some other 240's together and the night-town parking lot is good during the day..(is it still there?)

Night town is still the spot here for the youngsters. Shoot me an email next time you are up here. I'm sooooo lucky I didn't get a ticket on my trip back. No speedo, no V1, no tag. I don't know how fast I went, but followed a Z32 for a while at 4K RPM with 2PSI, so it may have been close to 100MPH. The seller said the engine was from a 96, "the one that looks like its on steroids". It has a big buldge in back. That makes it an S14 right? I don't have a camera, so I'm not planning on posting pics until the conversion is done. Its a pretty big project, but the driveline is done, except for the things I mentioned.
