Calling all STL Nissan owners

[MECPInstaller]

I'm trying to find out how many people from the St. Louis metropolitan area are on these forums and would be intrested in doing a local meet or just get together and hang out and show our cars, possibly try to start up a local nissan club or branch of nico. I know theres afew of you out there so post up on this thread. Also not sure how many of you are familiar with Gateway raceway in Granite city.. Tuesdays nights for 15 bucks you can take your car down the 1/4 mile all you want. And finally To all nissan owners in Toronto i'll be headed up your way in July or August for home audio installation training so if anybody would feel like meet up in the Richmond hill area hit me up.

Seacrest out. and Zenki Pride Worldwide

As for gateway, ive never been there, but plannin on going when i get my car back. But check out that site, there are already like me and a couple others from this forum on there...

[MECPInstaller]

Thanks for the link i had no idea there were any 240 clubs around this neck of the woods i'm about 15 minutes across the mississippi river from downtown St Louis. and from downtown Gateways only probaly another 10-15 minutes or so away. I know theres more of you guys out here.

[fast_s13]

im from hermann its about a hour and a half from downtown

[MECPInstaller]

Damn Herman got nailed with the storms for last few days hasn't it. wensday and thursday was crazy here with all the rain, hail and wind, hope your car made out alright with all the hail

[fast_s13]

yeah my car is alright it has been in my friends garage where i have been doing my rb20 swap at.. if i ever get it running i will be up your way in it

[PhaneSoul]

yea, next weekend i get my clutch fixed, we didnt get hail in ofallon (thank god i live ina trailor park) and dont have the luxury of a garage.... but a funnel cloud passed right over my work yesterday..... really did look like we were gonna get hit.... but i gotta put 1000 miles on my new clutch before i ride it hard at all.... so ima be drivin all around for a while (i put 700 miles on it in 2 weeks and i work 9 miles farther then i used to work at that time) so im sayin 1000 miles in a matter of at least a week and a half

[fast_s13]

if yall know of anyone wanting to buy a ka24 i want to sell mine it has 80,000 org miles on it and the centerforce clutch

[MECPInstaller]

i might take you up on that i need a engine to rebuild and put a turbo on its a ka24de or ka24e? And wouldn't you know my throwout bearing is going bad so the clutch woudl be useful to lol.

[PhaneSoul]

lol, im lookin for a de also, hey mecp, wanna work on our engines together.... im not gonna be able to do mine alone........

[MECPInstaller]

I've never worked on pulling a ka out and apart but i do have the service manual on my computer.what all are you looking at doing to yours and how far are you from south stl or columbia IL, if you know where thats at. I've been out and past your way afew times but don't remember the distance.

[MECPInstaller]

oh snap do any of you guys use msn, aol,or yahoo messengers [email protected], Il240sx84, vegadjco.

[PhaneSoul]

mine for all 3 messanger is PhaneSoul, and @hotmail.com i live about 40 minutes west of the stadium's....

as for engine work, i am gonna bore out mine to 2.8 for sure, ima see if itll go 3.0, im replacing EVERYTHING in the engine, and while im doing this im also goiing to replace every hose and every other detachable part and im painting the valve cover dark blue, and shining/painting everything else that can be painted/shined blue....

[MECPInstaller]

where are you going to be getting the pistons for it? i've heard bumping the displacement up .2 liters or so but .4-.6 that seems like alot would be badass to have a ka28de. Are you planning on staying N/A or eventually going turbo?

[mean green s14]

im from florissant mo.

97 green ka24de-t

[fast_s13]

my motor is a ka24e

ahhh, it depends.... prolly turbo with the de... thats what ive been planning.. but if everything goes like i dream and me rebuilding this motor and boring it out to whatever i can get it too gives me enouf hp to where i could possibly beat turbo'ed cars then ill prolly stay n/a for the sake of getting to say my n/a 240 can beat ur turbo'ed rsx any day... lol, i dunno where i would get pistons and alot of parts, thats all for me to do research when i learn more about engines...

[ATC240sxGUY]

I live in Marissa which is 30 miles south east of STL. Where is the best place to get a Sr20DET swap done around here?

[MECPInstaller]

Up in fairview heights there's rush hour motorsports. I know they can get and install them. Also over in St. Charles- St. Peters, missouri area theres Adrenaline motorsports. they have a website and seem like they know what they're doing.

[fast_s13]

lightspeed can get the motor and do the swap 314 432 5221

[ATC240sxGUY]

What type of engines do you guys have in your 240sx's and is it worth doing the SR20DET swap or going KA24DET?

[fast_s13]

i have a rb20det and i think it was well worth the money. i have about $2000 in the swap

[ATC240sxGUY]

did you do it your self or have a shop do it and what kind of HP does it produce?

[thekage]

Im not from St lou metropolitan.... but im about 2 hours away in Poplar Bluff.Very Interested in starting a chapter.. would love to do a meet sometime

[CarnivalHobo]

hey guys im new and from stl, i currrently have a 98 acura cl but it was totaled due to a ****load of hail damage.

my plan was to buy a 240 and do a sr20det swap with a few goodies... anyone have any fav shops to recomend for the install, i have neither the tools nor the space, as well as any smog suggestions... thats the only thing im worried about.

[fast_s13]

i did my swap my self it is not very hard to do. i would be willing to help anyone who would want to do it.. if not try giving light speed a call 314 432 5221

[thekage]

im saving for a rb20det swap...i plan on building it to a rb24det

[CarnivalHobo]

fast, did you have any problems passing emissions?

im most concerned about the visual inspection...

[thekage]

Mo has emissions inspections...??? Since when??

[MECPInstaller]

this is good there's more of us popping up in and around st louis. Nopi is coming to gateway infew weeks the 24th i believe. I would say we could all meet up there but i'll be in toronto. Maybe after i get back(aug11th) we could all meet over here, decent driveway and garage space, or find a weekend night and a nice big, empty parking lot and have ourselves alittle fun.
