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

[PapaSmurf2k3]

A friend has a used s13 redtop sr20det for sale and I currently own an s14. Seeing that the ka24de has been in 240sx's for a while now I'm guessing the s13 redtop will fit in my s14. Just I haven't seen this done before, just any advice would help.

That isn't really a newb questions... check the SR forum.

how much power shoul a CA18DET with these mods be making?

TurboXS equal length turbo manifoldGTiR T28 (has very slight shaft play)Greedy FMIC, cold side piping, turbo timer, RS BOVTrust Downpipe444cc GTR injectorsSAFC IIKA24E MAFFriction type LSDSSA Catback

and what kind of posible gas mileage?

Limiting factor is probably your MAF... look for about 250 at the wheels.Gas mileage... depends on how you drive it. Max about 30ish.

I just got done installing a fmic on my 1993 240 sr with a silvia front , I cut the bottom off of the metal bumper so I could slide the intercooler as far up as possible so it's still somewhat legal. I hacked alot out of the silvia bumper but still cannot get the damn thing to fit...I need some further direction.

So you installed it... but it doesn't fit?

[s13KACoupe]

So you installed it... but it doesn't fit?

The fmic is installed but cannot seem to get the bumper to fit over the intercooler..basically just want to see how others have mounted them with the silvia conversion. The bumper cover is the one that has the scoop for the stock smic.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Cut it til it fits... its just plastic right?

[tramp_drift240]

wow. thanks man. Is it even a short throw shifter or just a shorter shifter? didnt even seem like a short throw shifter to me. were you even able to seperate yours?

honestly? im not sure.

go onto ebay and find any generic looking "short shifter" for sale. thats most likely what youve got.

its not really that much shorter of a shift, and you may or may not have a loud tapping around like...4 or 5k rpms, iirc

i hated that shifter

get the shiftknob and boot and section-of-shifter separated though?

[thatguybryan]

hey guys, i have a question

im tryin to get HID bulbs, just wondering wht the bulb size is

i keep seeing 9004, 9005, and 9006 .. so i have no idea .. help mee pleaseee

thanks

Assuming you have a Zenki based on your profile pic, your lowbeam is 9003/HB2 and your highbeam is 9005.

[thatguybryan]

Okay now my turn for a question haha. I've searched and searched and done everything short of calling the company (which I'm skeptical of doing because they may not know for sure), and I can't find out whether the brake pads are the same for all year 240sx's or whether they're indeed different sizes for ABS/NON-ABS and 89-94 and 95-98.

If they are different from year, are the ABS/ABS pads from year to year the same size and the NON-ABS pads from year to year the same size as well? Thanks for any input.

It wiggles around a bit more violently than usual sticks, never noticed the 4-5k noise i dont take my 200k plus sohc ka up there often. I did get the boot off but never got the knob off the shifter so i just put it back in the car. Ill fix that when i get a real short shifter 1 day.

[RBnMY240]

ok add another question to the list lolmight be smart or dumb but kinda need to know.anyways will the rear end and front suspension off of a 95 300zx fit into a 92 240sx?

[jayshadows413]

well ive been into cars since i can remember but NEVER had a nissan till NOW im lookin to buy a 90' 240sx hatch shell....gonna do swap to sr whats a shell worth no frame rail rust and it has no interior whats that worth?

[PapaSmurf2k3]

rust free shell with good glass and good doors is worth about $600. Good paint... maybe $800.

[dahveed]

so i switched my s14 seat into my s13, but i can't remember if the front bolts go in, then the back! or is it the other way around lol! i did it once already, but it was a long time ago haha. now i cant even get the holes to line up

[PapaSmurf2k3]

It shouldn't really matter what order it goes in... they should lign up no problem... how far out are they?

[dahveed]

the only one that doesnt line up is the back left bolt hole, and its only like a few millimeters to the side

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Drill/slot the seat bracket? If its only a few millis, you can make it work.

[dahveed]

good deal then

also, how do i go about removing the backseats in my hatch? i looked at the tech page on the main site, but all the pics were down! sorry, but i like looking at pics, it makes everything easier!

[jakums]

ok so here it is none of the threads really was on build a sohc ka to make good horse power heres my plans

cp forged pistons 9.0:1master power to4e t64intercooler 24x11x3and comes with piping 550cc injectos a new oil pump greddy rs bov ka24e turbo manifoldcyberdyn blue oil pressure gaugecrberdyn blue ise boost gauge greddy profec b spec IIapexi turbo timer safc2

what else do i need and wear do i find a maf?also what kinda hp could i make with that

[ztunelover]

instead of safc use nistune, gives you better control over the tuning spectrum.

use a big exhaust and downpipe. the stock choke pipe is gonna be hard on the headgasket and rob you of major power.

and the longer rods can bend due to stress and age so i would recommend something about that, if you cant find cheaper alternatives, nismo makes a nice set, that wont blow your bank.

with this you can max your stock maf to i believe 240whp, and if you use the z32, dont hold me to it but 350whp. maybe more but im giving you safe conservative estimates, i dont know how well the head and the intake manifold flows so i cant give you a good estimate, but 230+ seems pretty easily plausible.

[jayshadows413]

sweet im ghlad its worth that much cuz i got a DEAL! now i decided to go KA-T found a turbo set from greddy for CHEAP! so ima just stay traditional and stay true to the KA24DE!

I am new to NICO and I bought a 1992 240sx hatch about 4 months ago. I bought this car thinking that I would do the SR swap but i'm wondering if I should buy another car and then do it. It looks like there is some damage, not rust, on the frame rail and I'm wondering if this is damage or it's supposed to have metal sticking out. It looks like it is all bent up, is it like this on everyones car?

[slim_240]

i bought a 92 240sx hatch with SUPER HICAS. i was looking at a set of KYB AGX shocks but it says that it won't work with the super hicas suspension. what would i have to do to make it fit or is there a special set i can purchase?

thanks!

Yeah, I have that on my car too... it's normal.

[samxini]

Ok I have searched but I'm still confused.

I have a '95 s14 with an auto There's a guy on craigslist selling a complete 5-speed swap for an S13.

If I buy this what EXACTLY needs to be done to make it work on my s14.

I know the speed sensor is different but can I just switch it with an s14 one or do I need to swap bell housings?

What else do I have to do.Thanks in advance.

I just got my first 240sx its a 89 coupe and i love it. But im having some trouble with it and i have a few questions. First off my battery is dead the day after i bring it home no problem right? so i pull the battery from our modified race car its an optima battery and it drained that also. But im not so sure that its the alternator. because that battery runs on the race car with no alternator. Also my right brake light suddenly stopped working. I got a new bulb and nothing the blinker works the tail light works everything works but the brake light. There is no corrosion or anything. Could it possibly be a short? or a fuse? Im going to pull the alternator out tomorrow after i finish up at school. But i was wondering if anyone can bring any insight to my problem. The guy at the parts store told me it could be a "parasitic wire" or that something may be staying on when i shut off the car. The kid i bought the car from did the mod with the lights so you can make them sleepy eyed, could that maybe be part of my problem if he wired it wrong? He had no problems with the car but it had been sitting for 3 months and it had no problems when i bought it. The shell has 125k miles and the engine is a swapped ka24d from an automatic and has about 52k on it the car is very clean. Thanks for any help you can provide

New here, but dont have a question. Wassup everyone

[alfsnissan]

Welcome to NICO! You've come to the right place when you do have some questions. Got pics of the ride?

[MajorHadron]

ok I have a question, searched a little bit, then got sidetracked so i didnt go through 3 pages of searching..ok. I need a driver side front window for a coupe. im wondering, is there a different in a hatches window? cause it seems like junkyards here only have hatches. And is there a difference in the power and manual windows?

[dahveed]

so, i decided to go ghetto and cut the brown wire for my popups! the only thing is, the headlights dont pop up at all anymore! haha. i press the button and turn on the lights, but they wont go up! D: i really should just solder it back together lol.

[mastermindspr04]

Hello everyone I been having some issues with my 1990 240 ka24e. Sometime on start up the car will idle about a 1000rpm and try to die unless I give it some gas. Also the car jump in idles sometimes it goes to around 1200rpm ,1500rpm and idles back down to 1000rpm or around 750. The 240 has a custom short ram intake with a z32 maf. I also believe I have a z32 diff not to sure but my anti skid cable is cut on the diff and if I'm correct stock 240's don't have an anti skid cable. Also the gov been bypassed as well. New to 240s still lol.

I took the car to test and tune yesterday to it an idea of how it runs and get stock spec on 1/4mile. my time range around 17.5 with a .59 raction time. and I would almost redline in 3rd at 76mph. just feels like it not getting power. I used to own a 90 accord with 245000 mile on the f22 and I'd get better 1/4 time with worst reaction times.

I was wondering could we an issues with the maf or vaccum leaks. I just had the clutch and flywheel replaced and put over 800miles on with before I took it to the track.

The ka24e has roughly around 170,000 mile on the engine.

[ztunelover]

have you tested the compression?
