No you can't, but apparantly it can be pwned. Who knew?

Sean1978 · 03-30-2006, 01:57 PM

why not? "V8's are dumb" is a pretty close-minded statement to me. If a D-1 S13 with a LT1 and a big name Japanese driver came on to the scene tommorow I'll bet a lot of people would change there tune. Also I'm sure if JCI laws and availability where different in Japan the Japanese wouldn't be opposed to it either..

drew935 · 03-30-2006, 02:23 PM

I say why not. KA and SR don't need their own forums as they are the natural platforms of engines for our car. We should be look at the next wave of technology and invention of swaps for whatever can be done to our S.

240Driver39 · 03-30-2006, 03:46 PM

i dont see the point of it.

drew935 · 03-30-2006, 03:56 PM

You might not see the point of it if you aren't looking to do that type of swap. Same goes for not caring about an SR forum when you're happy with the KA...

anthony240 · 03-31-2006, 01:53 AM

I voted NO
not because V8's are stupid, but that the topic doesn't require a full section of the forum.

I dont have a problem with that. but just wait 1.5 years, and you will see why i posted this.

**mrmephistopheles** · 03-31-2006, 03:52 AM

I still agree that it should be a stuck FAQ thread, vice a complete subforum

ranisron · 03-31-2006, 11:04 AM

I think V8 will get more popular (and as zilvia members are getting richer

)... I really like the KA in my car right now, but I wish for more power and no oil leak, there goes the V8, and nothing beats reliability + power.

It would be awesome to have a subforum for the V8 s13/14.

g6civcx · 03-31-2006, 02:06 PM

For those who voted no, just think about this for a moment.

There are going to be people who will talk about V8s (myself included). It's just a fact. Accept it. Now whether we do it in the general forum, or in a dedicated forum is up for debate. If you hate V8 talk that much, wouldn't you want it out of the general forum so you don't have to look at it? Wouldn't it make sense to tuck the V8 folks away so they don't mix with the general discussion?

So given that, why would anybody vote no?

Tech Talk is really jumbled right now. It would be great if it were categorised a little better, but I'm sure the powers that be have plenty of things to do as it is.

Those who don't want people to do V8 swaps, why not? It's way easier to find parts for an engine that came from the factory in a car that was sold in the US. SR20DET and RB parts are easy to get, but you can't walk down to your local parts store and pick up parts like you can with a KA or LSx. I use whatever FWD SR parts I can, but there are some parts that take so ******* long to ship. Sometimes I can't afford the downtime. Those who still daily their car or want to stock up on spares know what I'm talking about.

This is why I'm pushing so hard for more V8 support.

blu808 · 04-02-2006, 03:35 AM

Cheese makes your poo stay in.

Andrew Bohan · 04-02-2006, 03:43 AM

custom mounting kits make your V8's stay in.

blu808 · 04-02-2006, 03:54 AM

Custom cross members make your formula d season go away.

blu808 · 04-02-2006, 04:40 AM

Ok who gave me negative feedback? For posting about "v8's threads should get locked?"

Wtf step up to my face. if you have a problem say so. I could give a shit less about fags that think their the shit because they have some meshies on their s13. and think ls1's are 1000000 pounds. i was just opening up a new idea.

even if you hate the v8 it would be awsome to have at least a sticky. because then your boards wont get clogged up.

Shock BS. I just checked your rep. It was about that OT thing you and Andrew did not about the thread. The exact quote from the Rep is "Cheese makes your thread get locked" out of your 81 rep's there is no mention of v8's.

Going OT in you thread is a good way to get it locked. If you want people to take you seriously. I wouldn't do it. Shock Only Warning.

CaoBoY · 04-02-2006, 01:13 PM

i say de-clutter up the forum with a ka/sr, rb, and v8's/other. if/when luke does the 240 w/ls1, you KNOW you are going to get newbs asking a bunch of questions about doing it, and doing the swap. so why not get those stupid threads outta the way?

OJmobileII · 04-02-2006, 04:11 PM

vote yes on v8 section, as well as, yes on other motor specific sections.
sr, ka, ca, rb, and v8
the respective stickies can be moved to those sections.

blu808 · 04-03-2006, 02:18 AM

heres the sticky

I still think there should be forums for each engine.

s14slide · 04-12-2006, 04:43 AM

I think it's viable. If I do go the V8 route when I get back to the states, it'll be great to not have to switch to another forum and I can stay a devout Zilvian.

Silverbullet · 07-06-2006, 09:09 AM

to the ricers who are against V8s just because they have their head up their asses when it comes to import vs domestic: Go back to driving your Hondas and getting ur ass whooped on by the cars you talk shit about. Its pretty apparent that LS1 is a good alternative to the RB. It will def become much more popular with in next year or so but having its own sub forum... but i dont know. There isn't even a subforum for the RB. I think its fine by just having a stickied thread and ppl keep adding info onto it. If there was a subforum for every different motor swap, it would be annoying to browse (NICO,240sxforums).

CaoBoY · 07-06-2006, 02:06 PM

why did you bump this thread...they already decided to put a v8 section in.

mmdb · 07-14-2006, 10:45 PM

I'd like to see someone put an "affordable" kit for the v8 -> 240. Oh yeah, and YES! V8 Section!

evo_dadi · 07-15-2006, 07:47 AM

a separate section would be nice but i guess a sticky would work for now.

deep in silvia · 08-28-2006, 11:13 PM

a v8 in a 240sx is like big fake boobs on a asian girl.......

fun for everyone........

i would love to learn more about it.

i wish i could have did a v8/lsx instead of my rb swap. my parts are too expensive

ryangreg · 08-28-2006, 11:27 PM

cant beat the power + reliability.......and the 14mpg tops it will get on the open road cruising

and with gas so cheap these days, why nooot?

blu808 · 08-28-2006, 11:44 PM

A good running ls1 even with parts, and a mild cam will still get around 27mpg on the freeway.

ranger2339 · 08-29-2006, 03:42 AM

Luke WTF happened to your car?? Did the hinson crossmember fail ya??
I want to know because im sending my crossmember out to brian soon...

Could you send me a PM so we could discuss some sheyat about the LS13??

No the Hinson Crossmember is super beefy. It has taken unrelentless abuse, and even has withstood when conrad crashed my car.
My car was handling weird because the frame is still bent from when conrad wrecked my car.

ranger2339 · 08-29-2006, 04:07 AM

Ohhh sweet...Sounds good bro........So no FD this year for you!!
