well, depends on what level of trim 240sx you have. If you had a 89 coupe base model (lightest of the 240sx's), no AC, no power, it would be fairly easy. power to weight ratio. best way to get into the 14's would be to get some sticky tires, lightweight rims, a nice I/H/E/computer set up and strip out your AC, get manual windows, manual mirriors, empty out the trunk, and one more thing, get an LSD. Hey, if there is some guy on here running 15.5's stock on a KA24E, you should see 14's on a KA24DE lighlty warmed over, stripped with some gooey tires and a nice LSD.

get an altima. :) seriously though, (actually i was...) the exhaust cam in an altima is more aggressive than the same cam in your 240 ka. different pistons and all the bolts ons PLUS a lightened flywheel ought to get your "friend" pretty close to his goal.

Read around in some of my posts. Ive been thinking of going N/A myself. i keep bouncing back between KA, and KAT, I believe that anything a honda can do, a nissan can do better, and with more style ;)

I was goin to go all motor, but when you do the math itll cost you the same to have a nice Ka-t setup an youll have so much more potential.
