I need a 240SX

[AznRide]

I'm looking for one. I'm in the U.S, in minneosta, yes, that cold place.

[bilt4spd]

I don't know how much you are wanting to spend but I have a buddy that is selling his right now. It is a 1991 240sx se with a s13 sr20det in it already. The only issue might be that we live near Cincinnati Ohio. Here is the link:http://autotrader.com/findacar...=1991 Hope that works, if not go search autotrader.com. Regards

[red240ne]

what was he thinkin with those wheels? no offense, but they're disgusting.

Wow, he has an SR20, DET and an inner-cooler. Yeah, this guy doesn't deserve that car. And no way will he get 10K unless hes got some serious tricks under that hood.

[S13240]

I actually like his car....looks very nice...the rims do show out too much, but I can live with it.

[AznRide]

SICK. That car is sick, and it's not a compliment. Plus, it's a 91 and he will not get 10K for it no matter what. I'm looking for an 5 grandish 240sx, so I can throw in a sr20det in.

[slociv]

You all are shmucks, you have to realize that is and autotrader picture. that photo is crap. How can you sit there and rip on this dudes car, 10k is a stellar deal. blue book + wheels + HPI intercooler + sr20det + stage 2 clutch + labor - you ignorace = well over 10k plus he has a bunch of other mods too. His bad for not putting a huge wing on it, buying the lame hatch back version and have some actual style. Lets see what you all have..

BuudWeizErr --- your a moron.... an absolute idiot... have you ever registered something with auto trader and seen that everything you write is totally different from what they write. for you info. he does deserve that car, he's 18 paying for the thing on his own not some rookie biatch having his parents pay for everything.

By the way, he get calls everyday from people in texas, cali, ill, ohio, and everywhere else.... people are more than willing to pay the 10k to avoid all the hassel that goes into it... give props where props are due.

i always do...just havent seen where they are due yet

[I H8 UR DSM]

btw, that car on autotrader is worth about 4-6k at the most

[AznRide]

all you guys have the sr20det swaps huh? That's tight. I really want a newer version of 240sx...95 up. I would never pay 10K for the car on autotrader anyways....such a rip off. And it's OLD.

[slociv]

He's only had it in the trader for like a week or so, it'll sell for the 10k to some one not willing to do the work themselves. I'm not lying either, i have no reason to lie. i'm to smart to pay 10k i know what went into it, how much everything was, theres some of my elbow grease in it. I've seen two be built from the ground up, 10k will buy someone who knows a thing or two a 95'n up the motor, cooler, tune up, shipping for everything, new ecu, new harness, odds n ends, and gauges (oil, air fuel, boost, turbo timer), plus cover labor.

I H8 UR DSM - list it, i promise you with in the first week you will be swarmed with calls, and it will sell for atleast 10k. you guys don't realize how idiotic people are out there. Oh, no longer own a 240, totaled it, i have a civic hatch now, it is in its rebirth stage. And don't worry i won't post in other areas cause a friend told me people were on here flaming this dudes car, i don't even know what site i'm on cause i used a link...

I'm not that stupid to actually think that someone is going to buy the car for the actual cost including mods. I know it doesn't work like that i've sold a fixed up car before.

You all can just rock on with your badass cars, running 10sec... all you had to say is it wasnt your bag, instead you have to sit there an roast on some guys car... :ylsuper

[BuudWeizErr]

Slociv, shut your mouth, right now. Your name says it all.

You all are shmucks, you have to realize that is and autotrader picture. that photo is crap.Jee, when I want to sell cars, I work as hard as I can to make the car look awesome in the picture, no matter what. That car looks like Sh1t in that picture.

How can you sit there and rip on this dudes car, 10k is a stellar deal.By whos standards? Maybe one of the Honda boys who came to the Nissan camp because of SCC or whatever mag that was.

blue book + wheels + HPI intercooler + sr20det + stage 2 clutch + labor - you ignorace = well over 10k plus he has a bunch of other mods too.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA, how much can I get an "inner-cooler" for?

His bad for not putting a huge wing on it, buying the lame hatch back version and have some actual style. Lets see what you all have..What do I have? My sig says it all. And the fact that he doesn't have a wing is not a positive thing. It should be a standard.

BuudWeizErr --- your a moron.... an absolute idiot...Thank you, you're not the first riceboy I've heard that from. That's ok, I'll buy you some windshield washer lights if you'd like to make up for it.

have you ever registered something with auto trader and seen that everything you write is totally different from what they write. for you info.Actually, they do, however, they don't add commas in random places, and they don't mistake spelling and add dashes, it's an intercooler, not an inner-cooler

he does deserve that car, he's 18 paying for the thing on his own not some rookie biatch having his parents pay for everything.What are you trying to say dipsh1t? My parents didn't pay for a cent of my car, in fact my dad still doesn't like the fact that I'm putting all this money into my car.

By the way, he get calls everyday from people in texas, cali, ill, ohio, and everywhere else.... people are more than willing to pay the 10k to avoid all the hassel that goes into it...And this is why Nissan people are cringing at all the ricers coming to Nissan, because none of them want to work for their sh1t, they just want to buy it. The kids that are sponsored by mommy and daddy racing.

give props where props are due. Sounds good, but your homie doesn't deserve any, so I'm gonna go throw some respect at other people, such as I H8 UR DSM, his car is tight.

EDIT: and for the record, I'm no "rookie biatch" I started doing research on the SR20 back when I was in High School, and I'm 20 now, so almost 3 years ago. Just that I can finally afford it now. And if that Auto Trader ad is a web based one, then he typed it in exactly how they printed it, further showing his stupidity.

[slociv]

so because i have a honda, it automatically makes me a riceboy, good... i like that.... so if your 240 ever comes alive you can put you money where your mouth is, its idiots like you that give the scene a bad name...

what is he sapposed to do about the picture, they took it.

yeah nice comment on the SCC to bad it was built before that issue hit the stands...

"blue book + wheels + HPI intercooler + sr20det + stage 2 clutch + labor - you ignorace = well over 10k plus he has a bunch of other mods too.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA, how much can I get an "inner-cooler" for?"i don't understand this comment, hpi was 755 shipping from the mother land

Actually having a wing would be a positive thing, with in reason of course. the factory one ain't worth s***.

didn't say your parents peyed for anything, i really don't care. it was a general statement. I have no respect for people sponserd by "mommy and daddy's racing", but if they bring the money i'm willing to make the profit

Nice i like how you through out respect to people, yeah I H8... 's car is very nice and he could get well over 10k for it. You should just not talk until your car is done, just take your accord home and sit there till your done with the 240....

edit: it wasn't the web based one, he turned it in at the local office... they miss type stuff all the time

[AznRide]

so because i have a honda, it automatically makes me a riceboy, good... i like that.... so if your 240 ever comes alive you can put you money where your mouth is, its idiots like you that give the scene a bad name...

He's right, just because he has a honda, doesn't mean he's a rice boy, but in this case, he sounds like one.

what is he sapposed to do about the picture, they took it.supposed*. Anyways, who's they? he let people to take the picture of his car? So they might added the "NICE" rims on there and he can't do anything?

yeah nice comment on the SCC to bad it was built before that issue hit the stands...and it's a bad thing because???

"blue book + wheels + HPI intercooler + sr20det + stage 2 clutch + labor - you ignorace = well over 10k plus he has a bunch of other mods too.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA, how much can I get an "inner-cooler" for?"i don't understand this comment, hpi was 755 shipping from the mother landI was lost after he said blue book..hahah

Actually having a wing would be a positive thing, with in reason of course. the factory one ain't worth s***.you know people added wings just for look? Do you know what a wing does? It's true that those FWD cars have some big wings..., you might ask, why? What's the purpose? It's down force...which is usefull in nascar...maybe some RWD car also for better traction, because the air is pushing the rear down a little to improve traction...get it? Some wings are nice, like the factory ones, just for look, but changing your FWD car to like double deck alluminum wings or GTR or whatever...it's pointless, which we might say, RICE.

didn't say your parents peyed for anything, i really don't care. it was a general statement. I have no respect for people sponserd by "mommy and daddy's racing", but if they bring the money i'm willing to make the profitnice way to edit your statement...what i call, a slociv hubris.

Nice i like how you through out respect to people, yeah I H8... 's car is very nice and he could get well over 10k for it. You should just not talk until your car is done, just take your accord home and sit there till your done with the 240....um...most of the 240sx people here have their car done. It's not like they paid people to do their ****, like you paid people to install your intake.

edit: it wasn't the web based one, he turned it in at the local office... they miss type stuff all the time

sure pal...whatever you say. what are you, his pet now?

[I H8 UR DSM]

:fight :slap :boxing

think its just about time to stop, or try to get back on topic, or lock the thread...

jesse

[slociv]

Actually i charge the idiots to put on their intakes, header, exhaust, install motors, wheels, brakes, short shifters, and just about anything else you can think of, but i don't really do internals i have a friend do that. and i know the purpose of a wing thats why my car doesn't have one.

I'm not the kids "pet", i'm actually his neighbor/friend/mechanic.

its cool call me riceboy i love to hear it, just bring it, thats all i ask if you can't back it then shut your mouth.

i'm not real concerned with spelling i didn't get a scholarship for my english.

[AznRide]

what car do you drive slociv? Let me guess, a slow civic. Right?

[I H8 UR DSM]

guys really.....take the flame wars somewhere else

[slociv]

Yeah your quick there pal..... its real slow:)

well this site is real neat, ya'll take care now. if your ever in the area look me and very slow civic with hood lights, a big wing and an afterburner tip up. we can race from 0 to 15mph that usually takes about 10-15min.

props to I H8 UR DSM nice car... really you can get well over 10 for it, people will pay.

[Justice]

lol ok guys. you know how i learned about Sr20det's? that issue of SCC.

i love that article. because a week later i met a guy who actualy had a full silvia conversion on a 240. he took me drifting and i was hooked. now since i wasnt magicly informed before that issue this makes me rice? stupid? not a true fan of the engine? not a true fan of what the car can truely do?

-peace.

-justice

[ItzGenX]

Guys, information is information -- END OF STORY!!! It doesnt matter where you learn from as long as you learn(better then being stupid). Stop calling each other names and put some mouthwash in your mouths to get rid of those flames.

[Onizuka]

can't we all just get along???

[silviamirage]

As long as you have love, that's all you need.

Anyway, on the matter of inflated prices on 240's- look at these-

1)http://autotrader.com/findacar...=1993

2)http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...89769

[Onizuka]

a saw a s-14 silvia going for $26,000 but thats because it made front cover of turbo magazine. And it had 410hp. And looked sweet. And had a titanium exaust. Etc.....

[silviamirage]

hmmm...how much could I do to an s13 with 10k...

1) s13 that, well, runs...around 1200 usd2) sr20det from afterdark.com...2200 usd3) downpipe, greddy...around 200 usd4) catback, greddy, apexi, etc...around 500usd5) cold air intake...around 200usd6) silvia conversion (parts only) Afterdark.com...1000usd7) front under kit, bomex (*****in', I would say)...190usd8) side skirt kit, bomex...345usd9) wing, bomex...390usd10) stage 2 clutch, clutch masters...around 350usd11) tires, yokos, pick your choice...600 12) wheels, konig blatants...600usdtotal:7775usd

ok, I know that lacks the prices for the installation, but most of those can be easily done by most tuners, and probably a few things like blow off valves, etc..., but this is just to make a point. Why would anyone pay 10k for a 240 with an sr20 that has 66kmiles when they could pay the same amount or less for one with a silvia conversion and some aero parts from bomex?

[SRJesse]

Enough arguing! You have to realize your not going to get your money back out of a car you spend alot of money/time on. I have realize that with my 1990 240 that I have invested over 10k in. There is no way in the world I will get 10k for it when someone can go buy a brand new, or newer used car that is in much better condition for that kind of money or a bit more. And another thing I dont understand with you people. Why would you want to sell the car after all the time/money invested?!? Have fun with it and enjoy it. If you can't afford it then I guess you should have thought of that before you decided to do the SR swap. The SR is such a powerful motor and is such a blast to drive. I dont know why you would ever invest all that time and then just sell a car. You will never get performace out of a car for as little as 10k into a 240. Keep it and live with it, at least that is what I have told myself!!!

[fenrisx]

:'( make love not flame wars..im afraid to post anything

but after reading all these posts..it was brought to my attention about the gt wing...good point :\ never thought about the cars being FWD's..bye now..

great so for your 8500k (didnt see many shipping cost involved in that price so i added them...), you just got yourself a car you cant drive since it has no suspension, traction, or tuning, engine or fuel management...have fun blowing that piece up

i love how everyone makes these estimates on cars, its almost comical...come speak to us when your done, and let us know what you ended up paying : )

and why would anyone want to put konig blatants on their ride? lol....

anyway, here is a good formula from sr20hybrids...i think its a good jumping off point for people researching, planning swaps....

"There are many different routes you can take when modifying your S13/14, and although there is no one "right" path to follow, it wouldn't hurt to take a gander at the following formula and use it as a guideline to help you build up your own car. The information presented here is by no means meant to be considered gospel, as most of it is based on my own personal opinion (with my personal favorite brand names for specific items appearing in the parentheses), but it can act as a guide to help you make your S13/14 look, ride, drive, handle, and run better. (The engine and drivetrain portions are SR20DET-specific, but the other sections can be applied to any S13/14.)

ENGINEThe Basics: If you're ready to swap out your old, tired KA24 for an SR20DET, then you'll be taking the first step towards building a formula S13/14. And unless you have a whole front cut that includes all the factory OEM Silvia components, your SR20 swap will also end up necessitating an aftermarket air filter, downpipe, and in most cases, an upgraded intercooler with piping. So right off the bat, you will be pushing out a good deal more hp than the stock Silvia. A high-quality blow off valve should be your next mod. Add a high-flow catalytic converter or test pipe (your stock cat will most likely start sludging up soon after your swap) and a well-built cat-back exhaust to make sure you aren't choking the SR20DET off with the stock exhaust system. Throw into the mix a simple boost controller to turn the boost level up a tad to about 10psi for daily driving, and 14psi overboost for those occassions when a little more juice is needed, and you will be looking at anywhere from 220-240hp+ at the wheels. To be able to safely sustain these power levels, you will HAVE to upgrade your fuel pump. People will tell you that it's safe to run lower boost levels on your stock fuel pump, and although that is true, the risk involved is not worth it. Your stock pump will be old and tired, the original filter will be clogged up, and the pump install won't take any more than one hour to complete. If you perform an SR20DET swap and don't upgrade your fuel pump, then you are just asking for trouble.

The Breakdown: Perform a basic SR20DET swap utilizing an aftermarket air filter, intercooler kit with piping (Greddy, Blitz, etc.), and downpipe (Greddy, etc.). Don't forget the blow off valve (Greddy, HKS, Tial, etc.) to protect the turbo from compressor surge. Replace the stock cat with a high-flow aftermarket unit or a test pipe, and throw the stock, anemic exhaust out in favor of a high-quality 3" or larger cat-back exhaust system (APEXi, Greddy, HKS, etc.). Get a boost controller of some sort (Greddy, HKS, Blitz, etc.) to up the boost a bit. A new upgraded fuel pump (Walbro, etc.) is also a must-have.

The Cost: about $4800-5200 for everything, assuming you perform your own labor DRIVETRAINThe Basics: In most cases, the stock clutch that comes with your SR20DET swap should be in decent enough condition to be reused for a period of no more than several months to a year. If the stock pressure plate and clutch disc on your SR20DET look to be in good condition, then it is ok to retain them if you're in a financial pinch. But if you do have the extra money to cover the cost of a new clutch assembly, then now would be the best time to get get it, before the motor goes in. The only other part of the drivetrain that should be upgraded in a formula S13/14 would be the rear end. Factory VLSDs were a pretty rare option on these cars, so if you can find a direct replacement VLSD or a Z32 or J30 VLSD to swap in, that would be the cheapest and simplest route to take. But if you're willing to spend a little more, there are a number of aftermarket units that will work very well. An LSD isn't a necessity in a formula build up though, unless you will be driving the car in high-performance situations often (mountain racing, drifting, drag racing, road racing, autocrossing, etc.). The Breakdown: If the stock clutch is good, reuse it. But if it looks bad, or you have the money, get a new clutch assembly (ACT, etc.). An LSD rear end (OEM Nissan, Cusco, Kaaz, Quaife, etc.) isn't a real must-have, but would be a good item to add eventually.

The Cost: about $320-350 for a new clutch assembly; anywhere from $200-900 for an LSD rear end BODYWORKThe Basics: There are just too many options available to list as far as the bodywork is concerned. A lot of this relies heavily on your personal preference also; those who want to show off their car a bit more might want to go with a full aftermarket body kit, while those who prefer a more understated look might opt for just a simple lip spoiler. Another option for S13 folks is the JDM Silvia front end conversion. This will bolt right on, and will add a new dimension to your car without having to rely on aftermarket body components. The sky's the limit in this category. The Breakdown: Go with whatever you think will look best on your car.

The Cost: only you can determine how much your preferences will cost you SUSPENSIONThe Basics: S13/14 owners are blessed with strong aftermarket support, especially in the suspension department. Unfortunately, not all those options are available in the United States. A formula suspension build up would call for replacing the struts and springs and sway bars. For the struts, you can either go with a simple replacement unit with a separate aftermarket lowering spring, or you can run a fully-integrated coilover suspension setup. Money and the proposed use of your vehicle should determine which of the two choices you decide on. A full coilover suspension will definitely cost you a bit more money, but it will also outperform a "spring and shock" setup. If your car will seldom see much track time, and will be driven on the street a great deal, then the latter might be your best bet as it will save you money, yet provide you with more than adequate performance. But if you plan on driving your car very hard, and will take it to the track or strip every so often, then it will be worth saving up for the coilovers. The Breakdown: Decide whether you want to go with "springs (Ground Control, GREX, Eibach, etc.) and shocks (KYB AGX, Tokico HTS, etc.)" or with full coilovers (Ohlins, Zeal, Cusco, Tein, etc.). Sway bars (Suspension Techniques, Whiteline, etc.) can then be added if you feel that the car still has too much roll in the corners.

The Cost: about $680-700 for springs and shocks, or $1000-2500 for coilovers depending on what level of coilovers you get; sway bars can be had for no more than $300-340 front and rear BRAKESThe Basics: The brake upgrade for the formula S13/14 would be the Z32 brake conversion. This consists of swapping the Z32 300ZX front brake calipers and rotors on to the S13/14 chassis. It's a bolt-on affair, and for the price, will provide a huge gain in braking performance. To make sure the rest of the brake system is up to par, it is recommended that you change in new rotors and pads at all four corners, and bleed your brake fluid throughout the whole system. Not only will all this increase your braking potential tenfold, but it's also considered good general maintenance. The Breakdown: Z32 front brake swap (OEM Nissan) with resurfaced original (OEM Nissan), or new aftermarket brake rotors (Brembo, Powerstop, etc.). Add the necessary stainless brake lines (PDM Racing, Goodridge, etc.) front and rear. Resurface or run new rotors in the rear also (same as front rotors), and then replace all your brake pads with new units (OEM Nissan, Axxis, EBC, etc.). Flush your dirty old brake fluid and add in new DOT4 fluid (Motul, Ford, etc.).

The Cost: about $800-900 at most for everything front to rear WHEELSThe Basics: This is also another area that's subject to the individual's personal taste much like the bodywork. I would recommend getting a wheel that you would consider nice. Do not settle for something that's only second best. If need be, just drive around with stock alloys (to clear the Z32 brake conversion) until you can afford wheels that you can truly be proud of. You do not want to buy wheels that you don't really like, because you will have to look at them every time you view your car. And the wheels will be the first thing people notice when they see your car; keep that in mind. This is where you might also want to consider performing a 5-lug swap on an S13. The only real advantage to the 5-lug conversion is to allow you a greater number of wide, performance-oriented wheels to choose from. But if the wheel you want is available in 4 lugs, there is no use for the 5-lug swap at all. The Breakdown: Get some wheels (Work, Stern, Volk Racing, SSR, Fikse, etc.), mount some tires on them (Bridgestone, Pirelli, Yokohama, Michellin, Dunlop, etc.), and bolt them in place! If a 5-lug conversion is needed, then you will have to acquire all the parts for that.

The Cost: wheels can run anywhere from $0 to $4000+ with tires; 5-lug conversion is about another $400-500, not including labor INTERIORThe Basics: If your interior is in good condition and has served you well, there's no real need to do much to it for a formula buildup. A boost gauge to complement the SR20DET would be a definite must-have. Any other upgrade to the interior is up to your discretion, and budget. Other interior items you might want to consider changing are the steering wheel, seats, and stereo system. This is where you'll spend your time when driving the car, so build it up to suit you needs and tastes. The Breakdown: Don't forget the boost gauge (Defi, Greddy, HKS, APEXi, etc.) to keep tabs on your SR20DET. Steering wheel (MOMO, Sparco, Nardi, etc.), seats (MOMO, Sparco, Corbeau, etc.), and stereo upgrades would be nice too.

The Cost: a high-quality boost gauge can run you anywhere from $60-200; steering wheels and seats will set you back about $120-220 and $300-1000/pair, respectively "
