If you had $8,000......

[New Guy]

......what would you do? I myself am thinking of converting my 96' 240sx into a daily driver silvia. My 240sx is completely stock (I purchased it only a week ago) and I have a couple goals for the car. First I want to make it a silvia (which sounds like it will take up my $8,000), second I want to make it have low 12's high elevens on street tires, third I want this car to be able to perform well on the local track. I was wondering if after I do a silvia front end conversion and engine swap where to go from there. Seeing my goals of making my car a fast silvia but also a daily driver, I want to know if that's even possible to pull off the 1/4 times i want if i had $5,000 more? OR if I should stick with the ka24de and make it turbo? or would the sr20det be better for the track and the same for the 1/4? Thanks <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[AceInHole]

damn.... i could spend $8000 on suspension alone....

one question... how exactly would you convert it to a silvia front end besides just swapping the front grill, and possibly the bumper (unless you wanna go all out and get the german headlights too).
anyways, it's your car... you'll get whatever balance out of it you want, with performance aspects and visual aspects....

[guidot]

Pay it off... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

[TwinTurbo]

I would ditch my R6 and grab a nice new R1.!.!.!.!.!

[s15dude]

TURBO KA all the way!!!!!!!!
Well you could use the best quality componets for a custom turbo setup(which I found you could easily spend 10k on), or like ace said spend it all on suspension. &nbsp;But if you want a nice balance of both, get a turbo kit(or build your own kit) and some nice coilovers, sway bars, strut bars, and nice wide tires. &nbsp;Between me and ace, we could easily pour 20k into a car. But hell, wait for a 350Z or G35 coupe if you've got that kind of money.

either setup will let you achieve your goals with the right amount of time and money spent. Do what you truly want, dont let others opinions be the basis of what you want to do.

The swap or turbo kit alone, you should set aside a good $8000 for that, and possibly the other $5000 for suspension.

But in the end, make the car what you want it to be, not what others want it to be.

[Arcane]

if you had $5000, i would turbo the ka...although you could get the sr swap for that much...eh...it's all up to you...

[Yoshi]

I'd torch my crappy 240 and find a MAAAAAD Tyte Civic hatch back Si...

I came to realize that RWD sux y0. It's ALLLLLLLL about the Vtec, know what I'm sayin?

damn, hondaz are like hella phat! gonna roll me some 20's and all u Nissan luvahz bettah recognize! They'll put my ride in TFATF2 yo!

Seriously! And then I'll slit my wrists <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

HAHHAHAHAHAHHA!
Let the flames fly <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[FastbackBoi]

Sil-.....40?
yes indeed, Sil-40!

what i'd really like to do would be to get a nice looking silvia front end conversion, im not sure which one it is, but the one with the hella mean looking headlights. i think that would look very nice on a 91 fastback. Not that i dont enjoy the imprint of a trailor hitch that currently &nbsp;decorates my hood <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':rolleyes:'>

aside from that, all my other ideas would all be performance mods, i think i would like to see what interesting results i could get out of turbo-ing the KA ><img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> . but alas its a long long road to travel before i have enough experience to even attempt that lol. &nbsp;

i kind of want a sleeper car, so visual mods arent high on my list. that silvia front end is just an interesting idea i'd like to try some day. what i want out of my car is a nice, stock looking 240 that will get people cocky thinking they could smoke me no prob, only to turn around and get blasted by the big, beefy powerhouse hidden under my hood (muahahahaah)

so i guess in short, that $8000 would go towards either a turbo, using the left overs to replace whatever other parts that would give me better performance, or going all out replacing damn near everything i can with performance parts. (for exhaust i would probably get an Apexi N1 Dual to keep a somewhat stock look <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> )

[misnomer]

VG30DETT and new floormats.

[KEIVmx]

I would fly to Japan, buy a CA18DET powered 180Sx, and just live there until the day I die.

[adey]

a stock SR swap and suspension... I think I'd have enough left after the SR to do coilovers... or so I like to think. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Cusco coilovers, Whiteline anti-sway bars, and some cusco STBs. maybe some of those fancy Do-Luck braces if I had anything left after that!

[Yoshi]

Awww, not one flame for my rice post? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> hehehee

[BadMoJo]

I would get some Tein HA's and some Cams. That would make the car alot more fun to drive. Then save the rest. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>

[nrcooled]

Dude
SR w/ basic upgrades (fmic,intake,exahust,downpipe,boost controller,550cc injectors,high flow pump) 235-245hp
total: $6000
then its all about suspension; coilovers, sway bars.

That my friend is a formidible street machine! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

It may not run those 12s your looking for but it will shock you just how fast that mofo is. Right now I am on the suspension portion. (Waiting for the UPS dude to bring me my damn 3in dp and intake as we speak) <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Or pay off those damn credit cards that you put all the upgrades to the KA on <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

[DrDubbleB]

Oh man...that would save me....hooorrayyy...oh wait...im not really getting $8K. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> &nbsp; If I did though, I would get the SR swap, then start working on the suspension (still hoping to get coilovers soon, so I'll start after that), tension rods, bushings, swaybars, and rear strut bar (I already have the front). &nbsp;Then I'd get rims and tires, and then lay off the mods for a bit and save the rest of the dough. &nbsp;That'd bring it damn near $8K though...

[whoizrob]

uhm 8K? Bwhahahahah &nbsp;cough cough.

Yeah, I want s uper fast, super fly, awesome handling car for cheap, what should I do?

I hate to sounds like an ass but it just chaps my hide when people ask questions like that. Priorities guy, priorities. Cars ARE NOT CHEAP and you can't have it all. Either you spend mad cash (8K is not "mad cash" BTW) or you go cheap and sacrifice. What do you really want?

A show car? You can drop 8K in a heartbeat. All that neon and stickers gets pricey yo <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

A Drag car, a built engine will run you more than half your budget and there's no turbo on it yet.

A track car, ever hear about penske shocks? You wanna drop the other half of you budget on struts alone, no coil overs or sways or anything else?

The best lesson I ever learned about cars is that it's all about compromise. A good drag car IS NOT by definition a good track car. Nor can it be a good show car. Shit brakes, suspension setup are all different AND BEYOND ALL OF THAT, you need to be pretty damn smart to figure out what makes the car go.

Asking "I want it all, how do I do it" won't get you far, wont get you any respect, and definately won't get you what you want. Surf the board and see if what you want is reasonable, write a list of whats important to you then do some more research, you'll be way better off in the long run.

Rob

[DrDubbleB]

Ease up there, Rob. &nbsp;He was askin what WE would do with $8K so he could get his bearings on what he should/could/would do with $8K. &nbsp;There's no harm in that is there? &nbsp;Not everyone is a car guy, and everyone has to start somewhere...so just...ease up!

[camppain]

what the hell you talkin about a 91 front lights when you originally said you have a s14? do you know what your talking about first of all? s14s are the same in japan as in the us ace already mentioned the minor things needed.

i persoally would go all suspension

get every product from do-luck the rear ladder bar cross bar side bar front ladder bar floor bar the mini roll cage tension bar.

then if anymoney is left over from going "jdm" (but that is a good "jdm") <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> &nbsp;i would go with cusco stb's front and rear rear upper control arms, triangle bar zeal b6 coilovers (i think 8k wouldn't have lasted this long though) some nice light weight rims with nice track tires (kosie's with some azenas)

and then i'd have one of the best handling 89 coupes with my limping on one leg sohc ka &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

yeah baby!

[drifterX87]

Hmmm, I would go 1 of two ways.
First way: &nbsp;
1)Get the SR20 and sell the crappy truck engine to a dump. &nbsp;
2)Blitz Nurspec R Exhaust
3)Blitz Active Clutch (Twin Disc)
4)Blitz Downpipe
5)Blitz 550cc Injectors
6)Blitz Intercooler & Piping
7)Denso Iridium Plugs
8)Intake
9)Sparco Corsa Racing Seats(2)
10)Nismo 4 Point Racing Harness(2)
11)Nismo (or if Blitz makes one, Not sure) Lightened Flywheel
That right there without shipping is a mere 6000 dollars rounded up. &nbsp;With just that, youve got yourself a pretty nice engine. &nbsp;Im pretty sure that shipping is not included.

For the electronics for the above, Id get this
1)Blitz SBC-ID
2)Blitz Power Meter ID
That would run you about 1200 bucks right there.

The second way:
1)Zeal Coilovers and Shocks
2)Endless Brakes
3)Advan SA3R rims
4)Advan Modle 6 AVS
5)SSR Mesh
6)Yokohama Tires
7)Other interior goodies

If I had $8000 extra, I would put 2,000 in a 3-5 year CD, and take the other 6,000, and invest it in stocks. Buy pretty much any book written by the guys at the motley fool, and your ready to go. In 10 years you'll have 20k to blow on whatever you want. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

OR.. As one of those, "man it would be cool to have projects.." I'd get an s14, and slap S13 front end on it. ooohhh yyeah <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;

How much could someone get for selling the KA, like ballpark figure

damn if I had 8K I would have my S13 w/ SR and basic mods, then I can spend the money I am saving right now for cwest kit, 5Zigen typhoons and a new paint job, but I am not gonna be stumbling on 8K anytime soon

I'm using it to help me get in to a house. &nbsp;If I can score on a good program that will cost me little to no down payment, I'm using my 9g to buy:

A 16:9 big screen :whackit:
cams, cam gears, N1 Dual, Header, short shifter, ecu, and dyno tuning
depending on what's left, I'm going to get 4 17" 5zigen Fireball Typhoons with some quality rubber.

LOL ok dont ask me where that came from
anyway man, depending on how many miles you got on the current engine, i'd get the SR20 man...,drop and a kit...

But You say you want it to be a Silvia so why are we even having this convo, Get the front end convert done, then throw the rest into suspension... adn you'll be coool daddyo
one thing about doing the S15 front end convert man, i'd need rims, that front end is jus to damn hot to be rolling on stocks.. so think about that too

Also if you go for the engine, which would be cool... remember that engine isn't easy to come by here in the states.. so if there a problem your gonna need mega help fixing it.. so get you ties and your info down pat first....
Yo man have fun with your car and choose a good one, you can't go wrong... unless you like invest all the money into parts for a sentra by mistake <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cry.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cry:'>

really i guess since ive been working at nissan as a tech and been involved with nissans before that i wouldnt know that

thank you so much!

and what about the stanza? because an engine ie put in a certain chassy wether it be a truck or a car does not designate what kind of an engine it is. do some research before posting somethng as stupid as your comment cause most of the people here will turbo that stupid truck block and still whoop your sr20det ass <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sneaky.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':pissed:'>

ohh so that means the bluebird in japan has a truck engine in it too? wowwwwwwwwwwww

so this means that the new maximas new altimas 3.5 and new 350 z along with the g35 and possibly the gtr will have a stupid truck engine in it?

since the pathfinder was the first one with a 3.5 liter?!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! I will end up blowing over $20K on my car but w/ the 1st $8000 I would get an rb20det swapped in, and have a upgraded turbo and huge intercooler setup. &nbsp;But this is only b/c the car that I am putting it in will probobly not be drivable before the swap! &nbsp;Or if it is capable of driving then it will get full suspension.

[junia]

Wow, I can't believe that people are bashing an engine just because its used in a certain type of car. &nbsp;I guess the RB26DETT is a POS too now since its in a station wagon. &nbsp;I have a stupid question though, why is a truck engine a POS engine?? &nbsp;Can someone tell my why??

I am still trying to figure out why people (aka: morons) think that. An engine is an engine.

What does it matter what I think? If I think that the moon is really blue, then why would you care? I really dont think that the KA is a truck engine. I think that the KA is a fine engine for the 240. Some people on the board need to calm down and let some things slide. What would age have to do with this? If people have never had a 240 and they are 20 what difference would it make if I am 14? How do you not know that I know more about cars than they do?

well, if you knew more about cars than me then you wouldn't "think" that the ka is a truck motor.. &nbsp;we have had this topic before, and ive done some research on it. &nbsp;there is differences in the KA motors... KA24DE is a code telling info about the engine... just because KA24DE comes in a few trucks doesn't make it a truck engine.. &nbsp;Just because you think your smart because you made some comment about the moon doesn't mean your right and im wrong. &nbsp;I don't "think" nothing i know. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

I never said I thought I was smart. &nbsp;I realize the differneces in the KA.

more paper clips pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

obviously age came into play when you made the comment about it being a truck engine, thats something a less expeirienced person would say. it seems as though your one to jump on the "jdm" bandwagon

but with your recent rplies seems you did more research or just dont want no more flames &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/satisfied.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':satisfied:'>

NO stop bashing him. it is a truck engine.... say it's not all you want but it is. I don't think that's a bad thing so I don't care; but don't try to bash on him for saying that because he's right.

uhh whats wrong with a sentra?

i'd easily drop 8 in a b13 classic se-r. those things are the shit. i have a b14 se which has the sr20de in it and it can beat my 240, my friends with b13 se-r's kick my ass also in my 240. stock vs stock.

so i guess that would be one of the best mistakes ever made &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/dozingoff.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':zzz:'>

[sykikchimp]

as it's been said before there are lots of sports cars with truck engines. &nbsp;ex. &nbsp;the Dodge Viper.

Anyway.. &nbsp;why don't you just say.. &nbsp;"damn Car engine in a truck!!" &nbsp;why'd they do somethin stupid like that?!@!?

It really isn't a big deal EITHER WAY.. &nbsp;A MOTOR IS A MOTOR.

The fact that people refer to it as a truck motor doesn't bother me.. &nbsp;It's when the say "Throw out the Crappy ass Truck motor" that pisses me off.

[Aze85]

Get a S14 SR20DET swap and all the essentials like exhaust, intakte, electronics, gauges, IC, and suff. That would cost your exactly $8,000
you'd do the 0-60 in the mid to low sixes and the quarter in the 14's depenging on your dring ability.

[drifterX87]

Also, I was talking about the car I want to get. &nbsp;So the engine IS crappy. &nbsp;Needs new clutch, no, just new motor. &nbsp;I have the link right here. &nbsp;Pics of it here (http://mywebpages.comcast.net/emilb/) &nbsp;The car is a 90 fastback and is in not so great shape. &nbsp;THAT engine is most likely crappy, seeing that the rest of the car is. &nbsp;I am not going to respond to any more shit on this post, I am outa here.

ok thats its... &nbsp;if you can't understand why its not a "truck" engine then stfu.. &nbsp;if you don't understand all of my last post and can't research it... then you are a dumbass.. &nbsp;YES THE ENGINE CODE IS THE SAME.... &nbsp;im not even getting into this.... again...

west do us all a favor

soo.... does this mean the SR is a...
tiny weak little truck engine?? Used in a RAV4 or Geo Tracker like vehicle??? &nbsp;Wow... i'm so amazed....
(The SR20VET was used in the X-trail) (http://www.nissan.ru/models/x-trial/)

that means the KA is better than the SR, because the trucks it was used in are more sporty and tougher than the little chick truck the SR was used in.....

interesting indeed.

edit: I'm slow with my posting

Anyway, with 8 grand, I'd buy JE 11.5 to 1 pistons, JE rings, cams, DC Sports JDM 4-1 header with 2.5" collector. Apex'i N1 exhaust, JUN flywheel, adjustable cam gears, power pulley kit, V-AFC, auto meter guages, SPA tach, and new Toyo Proxes or Falken Azenis.
