thanks for the compliment anyways tho... i know how hard it was for you to say that a 240sx is a nice ride...
I appreciate it...

hey bob, I was only yankin your tail........
I remember a while ago, someone joined son, using the username freak, and said he was in the market for a 240sx. Perhaps I confused you for someone else? I dunno, but anyone can rip a pic of a 240 off a website and post it (autotrader.ca).
How about you come to the next meet, big guy? Like I said before, I'll even offer you a ride, if yours is out of commision.
I believe you bob, no worries. All this smack talk of who's ride owns who's, that still needs to be settled!!!
drifting, although fun, is NOT a faster way around the track. Contact driving, bob, contact! And we don't need any infinity input here, we are happy with our high school parking lot rides (take that over a wheel chair holder anyday!).
peace in the middle east! <<<< HEAR THAT YANKEE'S?

Yea man... but there is no denying the fun that drifting brings... when you see some of the vids i have when two cars are drifting .. trust me there is plenty of contact... i guess once i have fully adjustable Teins,, i can set it up for drift and hard cornering... depending on my mood gotta love adjustbility...

nice train of though repo :rolleyes
whatever, I ain't politican with you guys, religion and politics are 2 topics to avoid on this forum, or any for that matter.
balls, for once, I agree with your turd of a brain. the s13 does kinda resemble a probe, although I was thinking more of a 90 rx-7 was a closer imitation! Well, since the rx-7 chasis hit the Americas prior to the 240, I'd have to say the 240 is a rip off of the rx-7 (ahhh, I hate saying that crap, but its somewhat true).
oh, yours is very clean, I like seeing that you take care of your girl well. First mod gonna be coil overs? Drifting is fun, but you need some serious HP to do it correctly, otherwise, its just oversteering!

uh, first of all it's infiniti, with an I at the end. high school parking lot rides? i bought my Q45 senior year in high school, with my own money, not my parents. wheel chair holder? you must mean walker holder. if i had me a wheel chair i'd have a full size van.

excuse me, sir InfinitI, a walker/cane holder, not a wheelchair holder.
sometimes high school kids wanna give the impression that they are older than they appear, so they grow a beard, goatie, wear nice expensive clothes, and drive cars even their daddy would envy! I know my pops would envy a 92+ Q45.
you bought one in high school, good for you! You might have got more chicks if you had a 240, but at least the backseat in the Q gives you alot more room to manuvre. I, personally, like the flexible girls!
sultan of what.............?????

Yea well,
Deese hopefully with any luck it will not look like that probe or any other probe for that matter, when its done...
First mod will be exhaust, because the one the owner put on before me was actually below OEM standards (Ill get pics if you would like).....
N1 Dual here i come....
After that I think i want to work on my suspension...
The engine im going to do all at once after saving up all my summer pay....
Turbo KA here i come....

Sultan of Brunei, LOL, that dude is loaded up the arse man!!! I'd take being called a sultan as a compliment anyday!! How old are you dude?
Bob, how many K's you have on the motor? A rebuild is serious funds, not to mention a KA turbo kit. May be more cost effective for a CA or SR swap (I'd personally do CA, but really depends on what you are building for). Do suspension and brakes before any serious HP gain, you won't regret it! I love my suspension, and I have alot more work to do yet!
Exhaust won't net you big gains, spend your money wisely young grasshopper! Custom piping, instead of a cat back unit? Get a rip off apexi muffler, you pay big funds for the name (to each, their own). Still scouring the country for a smashed ZX, I need those front calipers!!!
peace

You might be right about the turbo kit... but i can basically do a rebuild in my school shop... My car has 270, 000 clicks... I dunno about the Sr swap man... it seems to me like a 2.4 liter engine would have more potential... the rebuild wouldn't be as bad as you think... seeing as i'll prolly do it myself... I will be getting an n1 dual... there is no turning me away from that...
I was wondering... say i bought new pistons to run while i was running NA, but then i bought my turbo... would i have to buy new pistons and rods or could i somehow make an adjustment...
how much would the sr set me back for new transmission, engine, install?

there is alot of work in prepping your car for turbo. If you are going to do the rebuild yourself, go for it! A local guy paid I believe 6g's for the fmax turbo kit, thats alot more than a sr swap. Dan said he paid 5 grand to lucky star for motor + labour, s13 black top. The choice is yours, I'm not knocking the KA motor at all, I do have alot of respect for it, jsut seems like a pricey turbo route, not to mention not very reliable. Why don't you source a used KA, and work on the rebuild yourself on your spare time. Then fabricate a turbo (talk to Adam) and add piece by piece as you go along?
whats the price of the N1 exhaust? Too much, I bet! What wil lyou gain, 2 HP? I: take it you're doing it for rice boy reasons, huh? No worries, we all like our looks!!
I think you'll have to get new pistons and rods for a turbo set up, why not just upgrade right off the bat, instead of having to dish out coin for a second upgrade? Also depends on how much boost you want, the stock KA can handle a small amount of boost on stock internals, I believe.
A n/a motor from the factory was supposed to be n/a, other wise it would have been force induced off the line.

The N1 dual is between $475 and $550. It IS NOT an exhaust for looks, as a matter of fact it looks more like stock than most other options. The thing is ALL business. I will attest to the fact that it nets better than 2 HP for sure! As for the suggestion to get a knock off Apexi and do the custom pipes:
1. RUST!! you will be driving around with rotting pipes and a rusted muffler YEARS before the Apexi stainless muffler and coated pipes wear out. If you get aluminized pipes from a muffler shop, then you will spend more than you would with the Apexi.
2. The extra cash you invest in the Apexi cat-back goes to it's superior design, and the ability to bolt it right on in an hour. Once you pay for a cheap knock-off muffler and then pay a shop to bend pipes and weld it all together, you'll be within $100 of the price of the entire Apexi unit...
In the end, you get what you pay for, I spent about $100 more than I would have, had I gone the route you suggest, and that gives me a hell of a lot of advantages for a hundred beans. Money well spent in my mind.
Thankyou Maine i honestly could not have said it better myself....
Paul... i think that i may steal your idea to buy a Ka motor and do all the work on a stand while my normal engine is still usable...
Such a smart boy...
I am going Adams route.. but mine is going to be faster than his... YOU HEAR THAT ADAM...
well maybe not.. i think i'd have to do alot of research before i can touch adams knowledge...
As for the fact that NA motors are meant to be NA... well paul.. i guess i'll just have to build to make it accept massive turbo applications... i'll over build it for long lasting life
hey if i can get an sr for cheap... nothing saying i cant buy it...
But I kinda like the ka.. cant wait to hear the blowoff valve sound when im shifting

I'll take your lowest quote of $475 maine. Thats about $750 Canadian, plus shipping and install costs. Close to a grand. My bruellen muffler cost $200 Can, stainless steel tips, custom piping, $145, total of $345, almost a third of the price of the apex unit. I'm not knocking the unit, but since I plan (as well as Bob) to go turbo, the exhaust will be scrap when I re-do my turbo exhaust. I can EASILY get $200 for my ghetto cat back muffler when I rip it off and sell it, more than half of what it initially cost me. Then I can spend the big bucks on a nice, turbo exhaust system which WILL net big gains. Oh, I did notice a power gain when I slapped on the free flow muffler, and it sounds very nice sultan, at least thats what everyone tells me, although the look is debateable (DTM style tips). Bruellen makes some really good quality pieces, and the finish is terific!
Bob, you can score a half decent KA motor for under $500 (Quincy has one with plenty of internal work done). He's a good bud of mine, and is currently swapping a SR as we speak, so if you have some funds, I'll work out a good price for you. Dan also has a spare KA lying around. Thats your best route IMO, at least you'll be able to drive your baby, and work on your beast at the same time!
You'll need alot more than boost to catch Adam. A couple years of driving school might help you, but his 240 is fully race prepped, he just put it on the streets this year for the first time in 3 years!!!
I stand by my statement that a n/a motor turned turbo won't be as reliable as an OE turbo motor (KA-T vs. SR) unless you spend a large lump sum of money into bullet proofing the motor, in which case, I would spend that money on a RB26 and get it installed properly. That motor will be very hard to touch, although balancing the car afterward would be a real PITA!!!!
I honestly want to see the KA spank the crap outta a SR, just so we can rub it in Japan's face for not giving us a SR. But the reliability issue, as well as the amount of money needed to invest in the motor, really doesn't equal out in my mind. I don't have a shop, and I'm not very knowledgeable with motor internals, so I'm reluctant to do the work myself. And every KAT has blown up from what I've read (Adam's included). SR has its issues, but a very limited amount of work is needed to bullet prooof the motor.

Fair enough....But YOU brought it up.
Secondly, a Probe looks nothing like an S13. When you're referring to an S13, you're talking about the straight-back coupe not the fastback.

are you retarded buddy? Ah, balls said the s13 looks like a probe, NOT ME! It says right above, in the portion of my statement that you quoted, that I said the s13 hatchback looks like a 90 rx-7, not a probe, supadumb!
Damn, if you wanna knock me, then at least quote me properly, dung for brains!!! Crap, everyone wants to battle me from all angles, sheeeez, just when I retired too, this reject jumps in our debate and throws in his two liras. Get the F outta here supastupid, and no, I didn't bring it up, JEEZ!!!!!
