Ok guys what's good in the 240 world? So here's the thing my friend from work showed me how to clutch kick drift n today at work I was practicing slow at the shop these days anyways I have a 89 240 its beautiful so I'm tryin to make a daily driver drifter I already kno which way I'm goin to go with the motor but I need some pointers on suspension brakes and LSD I was trying to go straight JDM on this b**** so I would like to ask what sites sell JDM parts that are legit and don't just say we JDM lieing a** sites an should I keep the suspension the way it is or do coil over conversion thanks an anyone living in the bay area hit me I stay in Livermore n work in Pleasanton I'm new to actually making my car sideways so could use some pointers maybe I'll throw a BBQ n we can drift in a parking lot f*** it thanks for the help n yea laterz

wow... not a single period or comma in that entire thing. Oh boy..

Well if you want to go straight jdm tyte on this beotch, then SR20 is what you want. Whatever you do, just dont ebay any part that has a function because it will break. You need lots of time and money and there are plenty of options out there, it depends on what you want to do first, my recommendations is to learn to drive first before you wreck on the street. There are plenty of vendors to on this site on the right hand side

all I heard was "I have a beautiful 240 and I want to crash and dismember it"
there are a few drift event around but they are usually a bit expensive. Especially counting tires, gas, food, etc. If your going to drift first thing id suggest is getting your car running perfect. Then welded diff or lsd if you have the money. then just go practice with that. If you want to spend even more money, coilovers would probably be your next purchase. I live in modesto, about an hours drive I think. Anyways good luck on your car

And requoting this because this is exactly the face I just gave. Cmon guy dont make Nissan owners look bad. You cant do 180'z in a civic and expect a rwd car to act in the same way. Practicing on ONE corner at 25mph is not practice. I mean go in a giant abandoned parking lot and set up cones or enter in a drift practice event or something. All you have asked for is where can you find jdm parts with no idea what parts you are planning on getting first. Come up with an idea and plan on what you want if you really want to try it, perhaps even a price range you are looking to spend. Please ask for advice in a civilized manor with commas and periods for the love of christ, and without me picturing you throwin yo hands up wen u be talkin y0, and we would be happy to point you in the right direction. Ive already told you to look around the forum so you know what your getting into. Do your part so we can help you.

Look bro with your jakie chan face it's not that difficult to do 180s in a civic n I kno that rwd dose act different than fwd I kno what I'm gunna build sr20det from ground up getting tein coil overs 12xxx from password JDM well that's their price new sway bars palyurthane top hats to help with stiffness LSD rear end s*** like that I just wanted to get advice is password JDM legit or what and as far as 25mph ur tripping I go from 4-3 gear the corner is hella wide with a nice straight away to get sum speed

Why are you so set on "JDM" parts? This just shows your lack of knowledge...

Why buy a used "JDM" piece when you can buy a equal or better quality NEW part in America for equal or less cost?

It seems like you have the right intentions, but it seems like you are just to eager and arent willing to take this time to research and learn the basics.

I know your so pumped up to build your car "from the ground up"... but you will fail if you dont put in the proper research...

Or just drop the car off and pay someone who knows what the hell their doing to build it for you...

[Fenris]

His "grammar" and "writing" hurt my head...

Please try and use some proper English so we can understand what you are trying to say.

To be a "mad tyte dorifro"

1. Maintain the car, repair anything broken.
2. Get a helmet.
3. VLSD/Welded Diff
4. Cheapo coils
5. Seat time at a proper, organized, insured event.

Please dont street drift.

PLEASE dont street drift.

Yo dog! I heard u liek street drifts! But i kno that shiz is lame and all, would rather bang a grenade then bust up a whip actin a fool and side swipe some milf in a minivan amirite?

For serious, you make us all look bad when you pull that crap and it causes increased police attention on all of us.

LMFAO! I just fell from my seat laughing, damn you.

As for the OP, are you joking? Before you become a D1 street champ, get an MLA guide. Your writing is atrocious.

DO NOT drift on the streets! I am in the same boat as you, believe it or not. The guideline I have so far for my 240 is ZERO street action. It's my DD and hopefully I'll become a proficient drifter in it one day, but we have no right risking others for our own goals.

This.

Sorry for the flame but seriously you need a halfway decent plan on parts and needs. You cant just throw something together in a weekend and be a D1 master. And the fact is that if you drift, you WILL wreck. Dont question it. You might feel like your high and mighty but spinning out happens very quick and is uncontrollable. And dont tell me you drift and do donuts in a honda, cmon. Stop.

Anyways, drift coils and a LSD is a good start for practice (in a closed area). Also I recommend getting drifting tie rods so you can get a wider steer angle quicker. A clutch wouldnt hurt either if you have the money. Once you learn the car alittle and learn how to throw it in a corner, you could add power to go a bit faster. But, I agree with the quote I quoted, it doesnt have to be pure JDM to be cool. JDM parts are expensive, not to mention drifting breaks those expensive parts. But that doesnt mean ebay it up because ebay parts are very cheap and break just looking at them.

I just wanna point out ebay is not a junk site for parts you just have to watch what you get off of it like there cast manifolds are great, and flywheels are great, clutch aem, fpr tomei, etc theres good prices and its convienent if u already use ebay just make sure you ask us on here if the brand of part ur getting is junk or the real thing good luck

I agree i drift every now and then in first gear and im pretty good at it, but you can not say you will never wreck, every road is different and handles different, if you plan on drifting a lot ur car will get bumped around if not the back end clip a corner, anyhow as for jdm use good parts, jdm is good for some parts but other brands are better for other things, and i have to disagree on the lsd for drifting because if your taking corners at 30mph with an lsd and u say your drifing your really sliding because theres no way both tires are spinning at even close to the same speed, as for true drifing get a welded rear or a spool, if u use a locked rear expect to wear tires every couple months if you drive a lot, and if your using it as a dd, get a spool so you dont have to worry bout a weld cracking and locking up the rear going down the highway. So yea sounds like a good plan, give a parts list or a build plan so we can help tell you what brand is best for that part.
