dude def my hero.....

[JDM-Silvia]

I have a car that I'm taking the sunroof foward out of. It's RHD. I'm just wondering if it's at all possible to drop the sub-frame out of my other car and still be able to put the front clip on and still get it aligned right.

wait.. what... huh?

[redtop91]

LOL. I'm on my eighth read and I still can't make any sense of it. Care to clarify?

[JDM-Silvia]

Let's try this.. I have 2 240sx's.. 1 LHD and 1 RHD. but the RHD is damaged beyond repair.. I want to put the RHD front clip into the LHD shell.. But heres my question.. I want to redo the whole suspension like the subframe bushings and crap like that.. Is it possible to get the two parts to line up right without a sub-frame in either?

Follow me?

ryon i like your sig lmao

ok... heres what I take from it, you wanna cut RHD clip and weld it to your LHD clip?

thats a big no no... not safe at all...

just do a motorswap, and find someone to do the RHD conversion for you. You'll have to make holes in the firewall.. everything else like the column and dash is swapped from the RHD shell..

as far as suspension goes, its all interchangeable

No I still don't I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and ignore the fact that you might be talking about welding 2 cars together... The subframe and what not is the same between the USDM chassis and the JDM RHD one. Why do you want you swap them? That makes absolutely no sense. But it's your car. Go for it. That or you again need to better clarify what you are asking.

[Frostfang]

What are all the parts I would need to do a 5 lug swap on my s14? Also about how much would it cost?

[PapaSmurf2k3]

IIRC you need new hubs/wheel bearings all around. Depending on if you can find a deal or not, look to spend about $500 for all new parts.

Does anybody know how much I would typically pay to get a Radiator Support switched out?

Before you say anything I am not swapping in a S15 Rad. Support. The car I have had some front end damage and the radiator support was bent back a bit, but I picked up another car that the front end is good, but the rest of the body is bad.

So how much would you expect me to see when I take it to a shop?

Here is the picture of the front:

[gordonliu]

to put an s15 hlsd into a USDM 90 240sx diff I need:

diff itself, s15 output shafts, and...

some of the info I have read says that you need new shims. I have also read recommendations for new seals (dont know which kind). I have also read that you will want to change over the pinion gear (i think) because the s15 gear gives a different final drive.

I pretty much need to know what I need to buy, other than the diff/output shafts that are often sold on ebay.

any help is appreciated

I don't really know off the top of my head, but you could just call them up and ask them. You also might be able to do it yourself.

dos anyone knoow how much hp does a KA24 engine come wiith?

[TBarry]

yesterday my friend i went to a car lot with some 240sx and a 300zx, he is tying to get a nissan, and i think thats a great idea. so anyways i started talking to the sales guy and he told me that his mechanic ordered s14 zenn 1.75" drop springs but they needs springs for a s13, so he has these springs just sitting in the shop and offered them to me for $50, im just wondering how good zenn springs are and if its good deal?

thanks

Zenn is pretty new to the field of lowering springs from what I know, and I had no idea they even made springs for a 240 They base most of their springs off Tein's and allegedly Tein is has even been seen calling them out as cheap a knock-off manufacturer. I'd say based on the 4 or 5 bad reveiws a quick google searched up, and the general skeptisicm in the market of the brand, go with something else. Eibachs aren't pricey if all you're looking for are some springs and you can order them new and from trusty-worthy dealers. Also you really don't want to get new springs without at least getting some new shocks. Shorter springs on stock shocks = blown stock shocks soon.

[moptop24]

hey thanks man. yeah it turned out that it was a dead injector.

also guys i was looking around at the interior of my car and i noticed right next to my a/c switch there is a spot for a switch but no switch. out of curiousity what would that go to?

[gordonliu]

I guess I was not clear. that link, which I have read a few times, does not describe the actual process. As it says in the link, it is just clarifying a few points that the author had to figure out himself. He even says that there are plenty of walkthroughs available.

that wasnt really my question anyway. my question was: what parts do I need, aside from the diff itself, and the output shafts.

what seals, what parts do I need to use from my stock open diff, what shims? what do I need to buy other than the diff and output shafts?

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Sorry about that, I didn't really read the whole thing. Anyway, I did some searching, and from what I've read, it looks as though you can use the entire S15 pumpkin, but have to swap in your S13 output shafts, and maybe change your pinion gear, if you want a different gear ratio. Other than that, I haven't read anything about shims. It does say to install new seals, which are probably the same seals as for an S13 diff. I've also read that you might have to swap the diff cover off the S13 diff, in order for it to match up to your subframe.

I also just read that the S15 insides will fit inside an R200 diff, and uses the S13 output shafts.zerothread?id=232323

1) an s15 fits into a stock r200 punkin and can use the s13 half shafts. I know because that is exactly what I am using now....6) You can keep the same bolts to attach the helical differential to the r200 ring gear. The bolts of hubcentric.

Its funny, there is kinda a lot of conflicting information about S15 helicals. If it really comes down to it, ask AZHitman what he did, I'm pretty sure he has an S15 diff in his vert.

[Pyrokid]

ZOMG, buy the car, and then replace those asap. Then make sure you sell them to me, ill put them where they need to be!

Well that answers my question

[S13fury]

hey people is a magen exhaust pretty good. if it is how much would you pay for it cause this one its pretty nice looking. O yeah its the whole catback.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

well, if you mean "megan", just check out some vids of it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AELJkDwoVh8if you like the sound... go for it!

[Patarach]

Yes they are good, they are also one of the less $$$ good name brands, I think they are around $350 for the 2.5 and $450 for the 3 new? the 3" used to be $300 but ya good things don't last forever. also the 2.5 inch i would say would be better and cheaper if your car is not turbo. megan

Im new and i have a question ..Im probably going to buy a 1989 240sx>>>and the owner states that the vehicle has a sports package What does the sports package consist of on a 1989 240sx??

1 more questionare antilock breaks important to have on a performance car or is it better to stray away from the se. and get a 240 that does not have anti locks..

1 comment...

I consider myself to be a great driver due to my auto X experience and of coarse lime creek

thx

[PapaSmurf2k3]

The owner is full of ****, there has never been a 240sx sport package.

Anti-lock brakes are pretty much just a preferance. I myself don't want them on my project car, it makes it easier to modify stuff without them. In addition to that, humans can often brake better without anti-lock (although anti-lock makes it more consistant).What cars have you auto-Xed?

[Rabertbabby]

I have a 90' 240sx with a KA24DE. Minor mods. Intake, coils... nothing too special. My problem is it seems that whenever I drive in dry conditions my car pulls significantly harder than when in wet conditions. It seems like the KA is lacking upper RPM power while its raining. Could something under the car be getting wet and robbing my power? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated... I want to go fast no matter the weather!

[954rr]

the sports package from 1991 and up consisted of a lsd diff but i was wondering what the sports package on the 1989 consisted of

thx

I can keep going if you want....

in 91 and up, you got an LSD in a package with ABS. Sometimes this package (on S13s) also had "Super HICAS", which is nissan's version of 4 wheel steering. There is NO name for these packages. The cars came in trim levels, XE, LE, SE, but they really didn't have much bearing on what options the car got. Example: my car is a 91 240sx SE. It has crank windows, manual locks, came with an open diff, no ABS, but it had the SE rims. So basically, all the SE package got for my car was the SE rims (and possibly a larger sway bar or something? I don't know about that).

NO sport package... EVER! If you are looking for LSD, look for an orange sticker on your rear differential. You could also jack up the rear end, and put the car in neutral. If you spin one wheel, the other should spin in the SAME direction. If it doesn't... you do not have LSD.

In 1989, the 240sx came in 2 trim levels, the XE- which was a Coupe, and the SE- which was the hatchback.

Is that clear? Once again... NO SUCH THING AS SPORT PACKAGE.
