I got my 240 today :)

[PGZX3]

She's a 1992 240SX SE Coupe with a S14 VLSD, Ingen Intake, H.U.D., clifford alarm, custom exhaust, high flow cat... and a blown motor. It came with a spare motor so I have to pick up a few spare parts missing for the swap and throw it all together and I'll have one hell of a fun car, no sunroof, power everything, I already have all the components to reinstall AC, all thats left is getting it all somewhere to work on it, I'm excited.

[Toahk]

Cool how much did you pay?

[nlzmo400r]

congrats on the buy man, good luck with her, and im assuming you're transfering the cai into the new motor, which im also assuming is another ka24de?, any word on how many miles are on the new motor, and, o yea auto or 5psd, congrats man!!

[PGZX3]

I paid $1200 for her, there are supposedly 100K on the new motor but he wasnt quite sure, its a KA24DE. its a 5 speed, and I havnt quite decided if I' putting the intake on yet, it was reportedly the death of the previous engine I'd definately be willing to trade for some headers since I need a header anyways...lol I'm so giddy right now

[nlzmo400r]

how would a cai kill hte other engine?i dont think i understand how that would work

hydrolock

[PGZX3]

they say thats what happened but from what I can see there is a hole in the block and a missing manifold......aaaand it comes with an intake manifold drilled for direct port, it may have indeed been killed by water, buuuut I'm thinking it could have been boost or laughing gas........

Congratulations on your new ride :rockon

I certainly can understand your euphoria. Just a year ago I bought my precious darling.

hydrolock

i can pretty much figure it out by the way it sounds, but can u pleaes elaborte for me:help

[PGZX3]

what kind of details do you need???

[nlzmo400r]

well, to tell you the truth, ive never heard of that 'killing' a car, so what exactly does that problem make happen?

[240marcuSX]

hydrolock = water inducted into the block normally via a CAI, and since water doesnt burn, the motor locks up. I dont understand why people dont just buy a bypass valve..... if you keep the CAI, please buy a bypass valve.

[nlzmo400r]

ooooOOooo, ok, nevermind, already knew about that, just didnt know thats what it was called, gotcha,and yes ,if i ever get a cai (although i dont think i would bother with a shortram) i would def get a bypass valve, as we get floods around here ALL the time

congrats on your purchase

[sr20power]

hey congrats on your new car....its been 3 months ago, since i got my 95 240sx and i still get giddy driving her sometimes..maybe becuz i have always driven ff, its just fun driving her....well i hope you have just as much

[PGZX3]

whooohoo the engine is finally out of the car after my buddy had a couple big burly bikers come and pull it out, so all thats left is waiting for my parts to come in (going to pay the guy for the mounts hopefully in the morning)....so as soon as those come in and i buy a torque wrench the reassembly shall begin
