I've learned some interesting things in the last 1 1/2yrs I've owned my 240sx.

General discussion forum about the 240sx, and a great place to introduce yourself to the board!

The guy who originally did the ka to sr swap converted the car from an automatic to manual. He also went so far as to install the hardlines and clutch damper. Yet, pulled all of the AC components to include the evaporator and has a SR 6wire TPS from an auto.

Yet even though the went so far as to install the clutch damper he had wired in a relay that had to be switched on and off to disable the fuel pump. Even though all it needed was to be grounded out. It doesn't turn off after 5 sec. like its supposed to, but oh well at least it no longer drains the battery.

You adjust your stance coilover's by loosening the lower locking nut and unscrewing the body. Not by compressing the crap out of the springs and adding a ton of preload.... Me and the previous owner were guilty of that one. However, it didn't take too long before this monkey realized he had screwed that up.

A failing alternator can make the car run like crap and give symptoms that will lead you to think bad plugs and/or bad battery.

After market pre-molded carpet fits like crap. Took forever to find some decent factory carpet.

Hahaha, my last unit was 10th MTN at Polk, but I hated every minute there. So, I only lay claim the 101st.

I ebayed the carpet for both. I ended up paying 150 for the used OEM. Took me like 3 mo. or so to find some that looked decent.
