Im going though withdraw

[Onizuka]

man i havent driven my 240 in 2 weeks now, im going friggin crazy!:hiding: :toilet :oblivion:

anybody wanna let me borrow their 240 for like the rest of the summer? i swear i'll treat it right!

[JJ240]

I hear that...Ive been driving my bronco II for almost 6 months now because my 240 has been non-functional. Finally got the thing rebuilt a month ago and crap has been breaking ever since. Probably only got to put 20 miles on it till it was broken enough its down for awhile. First after rebuild the ignitor chip burnt out. Made an ignitor and realized the #3 injector was dead too. Found a new injector from the junkyard. Car still ran crappy, but lasted for a couple days till the lower timing chain snapped. I dont want to pull the engine to get the oil pan off to get the oil sump off to take off hte front cover to replace the chain. And I really dont want to pull the head again to see if it bent valves. So bronco II it is :-(

you can borrow my 240 for 3000:) , you can even keep it if you want...whats wrong with your 240?

[JJ240]

I guess I could say on the plus side I now know how to make an Ignitor chip for KA24DE. Im currently looking into making them for SR20DET. But if someone needs one for KA24DE gimme an email. The external ignitor from S13s anyway.

I would go through withdrawal too if I couldn't drive my 240. I have moments where I just have to go out and drive somewhere. I love my 240 and will love it even more after I get it turbocharged....woohoo for turbo's. :-D

thanks, but i dont have any money (i bought a SR20)

thats whats wrong with it to, im taking the motor out.

[WingsNThangs]

Haven't seen mine in 3 weeks and counting. Doubt I will until mid-June.

[Cyberkreig]

pff, I went 8 months. It was kinda like not owning the car. And its not-driveable again and hasnt been for a week or so.

[JJ240]

mines sitting in the driveway next to the bronco so I have to look longingly at it every time I leave the house

[bp2ooo]

Havn't driven my 240 since Nov. It is so hard and so sad. But that should all change next week. My swap is done, i just have random electronics that need to be installed. The big hold up on my swap is i need the clutch pedal assembly, the jdm one off the clip doesn't work. Hopefully i find one soon, nissan wants 350 for a new one. THATS rediculous.

[team23rulz]

i haven't driven my 240 since I've owned it...its almost 7 months now

[LaureltheQueen]

I havent ever driven a 240.

[MasterMan]

mine has been down for... umm.. 2 or 3 weeks.. ive been driving my moms boat of a lexus.. tho i can beat honduhs with it.. 195k miles on it tho... gotta take it easy..heh

[chrispy]

yeh never really driven mine , except from parking spot to the lift about 12ft away

[Bud]

I wouldn't call it withdraw exactly....more like spending time with a friend who's terminally ill. BTW, guys in Philly area, check out my sig.

[Repo Man]

Cry me a river, J-Spec! You have a sweet s13 coupe and an SR20 to go in it. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

;-)

[Bussman240sx]

i drive my 240 every day and i love it

[Demonic240]

i kind of know the feeling, bought a S14 2 weeks ago (My First 240) ... and haven't even driven it .. it's in the shop for a new clutch and other minor fixes.

[cnichols]

I bought mine last January (in 2002) and have never driven it when it ran right.

#3 cylinder was out from detonation (KA-T) and I'm still screwing with it....swapped motors and too much other crap to list.

I think I win.....hands down.

But I do have my "beater" 95 S14 to drive every day (automatic though )

[Onizuka]

Cry me a river, J-Spec! You have a sweet s13 coupe and an SR20 to go in it. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

;-)

correction, i have a s13 coupe in 1500 peices in my garage and no SR because Dauntt is taking his good ol' time in getting it to me....

[RefriedNismo240]

im feelin yah, i havent driven mine since february and have been doin the daily grind in the family mini van. let me tell yah vans suck.

[UncleBen]

i wish my car was down for a while because of a new motor. but, no. soon my car will be down because of a transmission swap though! sooner before later i hope. heh. good luck with yer swap j-spec.

[nlzmo400r]

yes, j-spec, good luck buddy, and ive (sadly to say) heard quite a few complaints about daunt's engine delivery, did he give you an approximate wait time??, and also, TEAM23RULZ, ive seen you around on NICO lately, and was wondering where u usually have meets and such, or if you've found a track around here, and ANOTHER question, ive never heard of team23 motorsports, where is it at, a specialty shop, o, and just incase you havent noticed, im from roun here too

[Meantime]

I'm about to join your sad little koffeeklatsch, seeing as how my timing chain decided to do its best imitation of Indiana Jones' whip this morning. I am dejected. I suppose I should look on the on the bright side, it may provide me with the impetus to finally invest in an SR swap.

nice description. i hope it didn't bend any valves thats how i got my z24 for $200.

[Meantime]

I hope so too, but I'm not optomistic.

I don't think the chain broke, but whatever was going on under that front cover was nasty-sounding. *sigh* and I was just telling my friends how great mine was running, too...

[chrispy]

but you have a nice beater , '01 Camaro Z28 (the beater)I know the 240 is a sweet car and everything but if i owned a 01 z28 and a 240 i would be working on the z28 and using the 240 as the beater.

[silviaNE]

sucks!! Good old murphy shows up every time you dont want him to.

[nlzmo400r]

well as once said earlier, u mite actually consider investing in a CA or SR or RB!!!!!!!!! swap

[Meantime]

Update: got home from work, nice and warm out (78 degrees). Was in the low 50's this morning when I tried to start the car and heard the mechanical thrashing.

Debating my options...pacing...my wife walks in, I tell her what happened. She grabs the keys, starts the 240 up...

and...no sound at all. runs perfect.

WTF?

I drive it around for 25-30 miles, no problems. Runs like it did before. No timing chain noise, no nothing. Who freakin' knows...I must have some voodoo curse or something placed on me in a previous life. Either that, or I just didn't have enough coffee.

It seems like the more I drive the 240, the less problems it has...maybe I should alter my (beater) designation after all, eh?
