I'm New Here And I have A Simple Question Thread, (No Flaming Allowed)

[beachsidefl321]

alfsnissan they make maf cleaner, which does what in implies, it is used for cleaning the mass air flow.

sherekan that is a clean looking s13, good job.

I just bought some of that the other day...I really need to clean mine. I'm afraid I will mess up my maf cleaning it... does anyone have any suggestions?

[Warped161]

as long as you only use maf cleaner and nothing else, you will be fine.

[nismor240sx]

this isn't much of a Tech question.......But...... Can somebody please make a thread with a Sileighty "check in". I have seen the s13 Chucki check in, and even posted my pics their, ive seen Zenki check in, but no Sileighty check in. I just bought a conversion from a guy, but im deployed to iraq, and i cant find some decent pictures of some sileightys that arnt all done up with stickers and stuff or out of gt4...... i want to see more DD Sileightys, lol so if anyone out here has some please make a thread, and send me the link.lol Thanks Nico sorry if this is a waste of time....

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Why don't you just make the thread yourself? If you don't want to make a "check in" thread, just make a new thread asking for good pictures of sileightys.

so this is just a shot in the dark n something i didnt really think through so thats why its goin in then stupid questions thread.

so as i come out of work yesterday, i see an evo 8 or 9, idk, drive by and hear it and it sounded phenominal. so i was wondering 2 things. A, is it just the exhaust that gives a car its unique sound or does the engine effect the noise?B, the stupid question, could i put an evo exhaust on my 240 and would it sound the same?

I sorted it out rather than call me he assumed they were main studs and not head studs. thanks for the response.

[ny240gtr]

A- The engine effects the noise tremendously. There is no way you will get the sound of a V8 mustang out of a 240 unless you have a mustang's V8 under the hood.B- No

can 350z rotors be use instead of 300zx rotors when you doing a 300zx brake upgrade on a 240sx

I'm almost 100% sure they can not, unless you get some weird funky bracketry to work with the calipers.

any exhausts for the 240 that sounds equivalent?i want something with a nice hum like the evo, not an annoying fart cannon.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Well, I've always been fond of Borla exhaust systems. You should check out the exhaust clip thread in the 240 gen section and see if there is anything you hear that you like. If so, ask the poster what his setup is.

[240sx_skyline]

hey everyone i've been looking at buying a 240sx an found a 1996 with 140k miles on it auto se with skyline front end an skyline tail lights ...the bad it has a ***** paint job an needs brakes all the away around an needs front bumper is $3400 to much for this car? clean title always been in az i pulled the car fax on it

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Post pictures. Sounds like you have some de-ricing to do. How does it run?

[240sx_skyline]

the runs great everything is stock it just has a skyline front end an skyline tail light the guy that is selling it is in the army an he is leaving in two weeks i will try to get pic's soon

[alfsnissan]

Hey smurf! What MAFS can be used otherthan the stock one? Like lets say I wanted to use one off a sr20de or from a 300zx, would the car run correctly? I have found alot but not many for the stock 1995 ka24de that I have. Again ! Thanks, oh ... how do I get a picture posted of my car?? I tried the other day and it didn't work. Thanks again.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

well, any S14 MAF should work (and I'm pretty sure DOHC S13 MAFs will work as well), so it doesn't HAVE to be from a 95. If you were to use a 300zx or SR20 MAF, you would need something to control it, such as an SAFC or an Emanage.

To post a picture: first you need to host it on photobucket or another picture hosting site. Then, to post it in a thread, you click the little picture icon (above the text box during a post, to the right of bold, italics, and underline). You can also manually enter in the code ([im g]blah[/im g] but NO SPACES),When you have that, you are going to want to copy the image location from your picture (right click, copy image location, or right click, properties, and highlight and copy the image location).Paste it directly in between the IMG thingies, making sure there are NO spaces. You can practice in the test forum if you would like.

[240sx_skyline]

I wouldn't buy it... but that is just me.

I'm pretty sure they will. You might want to double check in the wheels and tires forum though.

[240sx_skyline]

i have been searching for like 3 months now an here in az. there is maga drift tax on 240sx here so $3k for a 1996 is cheap there is like only 2 in the auto trader an there like $4500 for a 95 an a 97 with a sr20det for $7k but no a/c an p/s i have about $8k so i guess i'll keep looking thx for the help o i really want do a rb25det swap so how much $$$ should leave for the swap. is $4k good thx smurf

[PapaSmurf2k3]

I think you would be best off picking up that 97. Talk them down to 6500 and go pay a shop like $1000 to hook up the PS and AC if you don't know how. And if you don't know how to do that, don't even THINK about attempting to swap in an RB25.

If you are going to swap the motor, swap it for a built KA, an SR, or a CA (if that is your thing). If you want to swap for a motor that wasn't in the car somewhere in the world, swap in an LS1 or something. Why do you "really" want to swap in an RB anyway?

[240sx_skyline]

every one in there brother that has a 240sx in az has a sr20det what's so bad about the rb25det? i do most of my own work

[PapaSmurf2k3]

well, first of all I'm not 100% educated on the RB25 swap. Even if I was, there is too much to it to post here, so you should take a large dose of research on that one. Visit the RB forum.

Why is it that everyone wants to be different? Different is more expensive, and usually causes more headaches, and takes a lot longer. Who the hell cares what you have under the hood as long as it hauls *** and is semi-reliable. If I could go back and do it all again, I'd probably buy a turbo kit, or at least build one somewhat like one that had been done before. Screw all this custom made crap. Running subaru flanged turbos isn't worth the ammount of time and money and headaches that went into my turbo system.

Shoot me a link to that 97 you were talking about.

[hockeyhelmet0727]

im a new 240 owner and im in college with almost no money but the money i do have i would like to spend on my car any suggestions on ANY cheap mods to my car would be much appreciated by the way its a 94 stock s14 se

[PapaSmurf2k3]

First of all, if its a 94, then it isn't an S14. If it is a 94, then it is an S13 convertible.

Because you have barely any money, you should focus on things that would increase or retain the reliability of the car. Replace anything that might be wrong with it. Start with general maintenance items (how old are the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc). After that, take a look at your engine grounds. If they look like crap, you should think about replacing them. Replace the fuel filter with a unit from a 300zx.

After that, the only horsepower mods that are worth doing are generally pretty expensive (turbo, suspension which isn't power but still worth doing).

Hello, I am indeed a complete newb on NICO and although I've done a little looking around I've never really posted about anything. I'm in the right thread for noobs, so for kicks and giggles what would be the best sounding aftermarket exhaust for a stock s13 ka maybe with a cold air intake

BRM. look it up

[240sx_skyline]

ok i was wrong it's a 95 his been posting it for sale for like 3 months http://phoenix.craigslist.org/....html or here is a rb25det for $8k http://phoenix.craigslist.org/....html

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Stay away from the 95. The welded rear diff will make it pretty much un streetable. The S13 is overpriced. I wouldn't pay a penny more than 6 G's if that S13 was damn near perfect.

[megaderk]

whats the difference between the KA24DE, KA24E, and KADET engines?

[qat727]

whats the difference between the KA24DE, KA24E, and KADET engines?

KA24E is a single overhead cam 2.4 liter iron block NAKA24DE is a dual overhead cam 2.4 liter iron block NAKAET or KADET would be the addition of a turbo charger to either of the above. They never had a turbo from the factory, so it is an aftermarket modification using factory engine designation. (i.e. SR20DE, SR20DET)

If you're looking for specific differences between each, then they varied with equipment between chassis and years, so there are a LOT of little differences.
