Been a long time since I came to 240sx.org.....glad to see it's still here and better than ever. Kudos to Shawn and the crew.

Been here a bit I guess, but finally got back into an S13.

My 1st car was a U11 Bluebird SSS CA18ET (1995-1995 transmission blew)

2nd car was a S13 Silvia Q's (1995-1997 Wrecked)

3rd car S13 Silvia Q's (1997-1999 SOLD)

http://www.240sx.org/links/clu...k.jpg

later swapped her engine and mission to a CA18DET

Then I got a 1988 Nissan Cefiro (RB20DET powered 4 door, that is basically a 4 door S13 Sold then wrecked by new owner before it was paid for)

http://www.geocities.com/a31cefiro_2001/

Now....I have a 94 180SX. And I feel like I have returned home.

Incase you haven't guessed I'm over here in Japan....

I am new to the SR20DET and quite impressed with it. The CA18DET will always hold a special place for me...BUT what a difference in the two.

Anywho....I'm back. Hope to be of any assitance...but I can't ship stuff :)

Greetings, I am Unregistered, and I am the new and unwelcome face around here. I'm that annoying kid that REALLY wants a 1993 240SX but is about 1 year too young to own one.

Wait, wasn't yours an automatic in bad condition? I don't want to pay too much more than $3,000 for a 93 240SX.

::Laughs;: no, mines a manual in bad condition. : ) Actually, its not that bad especially now that I'm fixing everything, also, if I happen to pick up this other one and I like it better, you can have it for 2,000, thats the same deal I offered Tino, don't you feel special? : )

Daunt, what year is it, is it a SOHC or a DOHC? Also, if you get the other one, i'll buy it off of you for $4,500 if you give me the front-end S15 conversion kit! :icon18

Nice stable you have had. Like someone asked, is the red 180sx in your sig your current car, and if so, what mods have been done to it.

Daunttless you bastard! I didn't know you had a car for sale? Remember those pics and description of the black 96 base model I emailed you? Now I'm starting to reconsider.

Hey Redstage, can you ship magazines and tapes/dvds? I know you said you cant ship stuff but you didnt say if mags and tapes/dvds were included.

:nopity

MAXIMUS Nismo drives a civic? something ain't right here?!? Why don't you trade in that soap box racer to a used dealership, they can usually sell civics for more than 240's, at least around here

just a suggestion

welcome back red, nice ride!!!

long story ma boy , long story. I have no patience so when I couldn't find a 240, I live in MD, I got a civic. Iknow Iknow, i made a wrong move. I'm currently trying to sell my roachmobile (thses cars breed like roaches............they're EVERYWHERE) so I can buy ma 240. There is a guy who's willing to sell me one if I can just -unload-this-peice-o-s*** i have now.

Don;lt get me wrong, it's a nice car though, just not the car I want................

hey, I'm not knocking the Civic at all, they are great for picking up the kids at daycare, dropping off grannie so she can get her perscription and doing the groceries, but not yours or my style at all. I also hate the fact that 1 out of every 4 cars is gonna be a civic, and the mark up on them, retarded!!! But you didn't comment on my suggestion, locating a 240 at a dealer and doing a straight up swap?

at least you're on the right track now, all I gotta do is make sure its an s14!!!

good luck

hey dauntt, keep the car and dump the RB in already!!! When do you expect the motor anyway?

Preferances on CA and SR? Power is in the SR and I perfer the "Already there" power to the CA "need to add power". However the CA feels tighter and would still beat the **** out of Honda Type R's :)

Alot of difference between 175ps and 205ps.

The car in the pic is almost identical to mine. I'm too cheap to get a webpage that allows you to link to a pic, so I borrowed that one. You can see mine at:

http://www.geocities.com/veloc...t.htm

Old screen name.....god, can't remember....

Can I ship magazines and stuff of the like.....yes, that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Only thing would be work and the fact that I am working 7 days a week lately :(

Mods...actually you'll all hate me even more. I picked the car up at a junkyard for $1700. Needed a new water pump and a clutch (clutch went a week after I got her) and a little bit of body work.

Said and done I have $4500 into her and that includes registration, water pump, NISMO clutch and the body work. Pretty much came with the works. All I did was put in the HKS DD intake, my stereo, front tower strut bar, a new steering wheel, Clutch and put the rims off of my previous two cars on it.

She's a 1994 Type R 180SX. Got JIC Flt II suspension (full adjustable coilovers), Full LSD (not sure what make/type but definately not VLSD), 4 point roll cage, Oomori oil temp/oil pressure/water temp Guages, Nismo boost gauge, Full aero kit (had to replace the front but original was similar) front is just a knock off of the 97 Type X bumper, sides are Veilside C3's, and there are some rear bumper pieces.

She's a black top S13 SR20DET with 45,000 kilometers on the odometer. Stock boost so I am pretty sure she is normal on the inside.

I raced her once so far (prior to the clutch going) and beat the hell out of my buddies S15 Spec R. Both about the same tuning (stock except for exhaust). I think I got the hole shot, diff helped out, and I took her to red line pretty much where he tends to wus out a little lower.

Been waiting a long time for a car like this to fall into my lap....long time.
