Hey all.. New member here..Am from Colorado. Was just wondering about a few things..
Im currently looking for a 240sx to buy.. One i am looking at is 1993 240sx SE Can u tell me about them.. Whats a good motor swap to do.. Im looking For a Turbo motor to get great power on a nice budget.. Another thing is.. I know they make GREAT drift cars. Does anyone Race them.. At the Track.. or on the street.. And also Any of you guys have any Pictures with a 1993 all hooked up.. body kit stuff like that.. and is there light conversions for them to change from flip lights to the lights that are on the 1995's+ So let me know ..

welcome and why not just buy a 95+. my first 240 was a turbo ka, but now i have an sr20. it doesnt feel the same torque wise. i dunno i cant complain for the price i paid though.

infinitexsound · 07-09-2005, 06:23 PM

ummmmmmmmmmmmm so look in the picture gallery, and search s13 ka-t, s13 sr20det, s13 ca18det.....

ano no BOY no one makes conversion for s13.4

Siccmade · 07-09-2005, 06:39 PM

well thanks for the replys.. was just wondering.. this 93 se has about 120 k miles.. and there are no 95's for sale round here..

Dan

infinitexsound · 07-09-2005, 06:50 PM

and how much?

makav3li · 07-09-2005, 06:50 PM

you could always go with the jdm front with the square headlights. that looks much better

infinitexsound · 07-09-2005, 07:34 PM

keep the pop up when u crash switch to silvia....

makav3li · 07-09-2005, 08:20 PM

what if he doesnt crash?

*AceInHole* · 07-09-2005, 08:46 PM

if you read the original post, you tend to think a crash is inevitable

Siccmade · 07-09-2005, 11:14 PM

the whole point is not to crash.. no one likes to crash. Duh.. what makes it inevitable..

Another thing is.. I know they make GREAT drift cars. Does anyone Race them.. At the Track.. or on the street..

That might imply it...

Oh and I think this should be sticked for "Bandwagon Jumper" example. Someone eMail a moderator.

SochBAT · 07-09-2005, 11:33 PM

regardless of how good you are, you are still bound to crash. Its an Unwritten Rule of buying a S-Chassis.

Drifting = The destruction and mutilation of the S-chassis'

I doubt you'll be able to find one readily available.

TheSnail · 07-09-2005, 11:33 PM

While on front end conversions, does anyone know of a place that sells the 240/280z frontend for the s13. I have searched but Im thinking the manufacture has not existed in the past 5+years. Does someone still make it?

Try autotrader.com to look for some cars.

Siccmade · 07-09-2005, 11:49 PM

im not trying to make it a drift car.. i just ment that they have the reputation as great drift cars.. so ye.. im asking do they make good TRACK CARS.. for ya know a 1/4 mile track..

SochBAT · 07-10-2005, 12:09 AM

in NFSU2 they do.

I'd personally think it wouldnt make a good drag car because of its weight ratio. Shouldn't drag cars be weighed more in the rear?

Irukandji · 07-10-2005, 12:12 AM

and the band wagon just got heavier

OptionZero · 07-10-2005, 12:23 AM

the 240 doesn't belong at a "track" that's a straight line for 1/4 mile.

TheSnail · 07-10-2005, 12:35 AM

Its only good in the twisties while it's raining heavily. No other car can hold G's in the rain like a 240. So take advantage of it when you get one. You will have a Silvia frontend in no time, or how the newbies say it; S13 frontend.

infinitexsound · 07-10-2005, 01:47 AM

word find me a s13.4 available this second.. and i will be proven wrong.... but in any case.... it doesnt look good on a s13 chassis anyhow.......

well crashing doesnt always have to be involved with just racing... daily driving and a collision can come from anywhere... so.....

back on topic: i prefer pop ups.....

SochBAT · 07-10-2005, 02:36 AM

popups! they look sweet, and are alot more attractive than Silvia headlights. And have you noticed how NO ONE can get them to match up correctly? Don't gotta worry about that with popups!

And when you crash, you won't be crying as much.

he never asked if anybody has them in stock and ready to buy. he only asked if anybody makes a kit to do the conversion and there is.
