Hey guys, i just bought a 1992 nissan 240 sx, hit in the front, its gonna be a few weeks till its on the road, i'm 21 and currently drive a 89 CRX, what i'm wondering is if fenders and hood off a 91sx will fit a 92sx, thanks.

91-94 front ends are all the same. So yes, it will fit.

Welcome. ;)

And just to be pre-emptive, there are more ways to go than the JDM tyte Ess Arr.

i would not get the JDM sr20det, the engine i have is good enough, i plan to pick up another one and rebuild it to run 10psi, i've turboed a honda before, so this wont be so different.

picking up a haynes manual tomorrow and going to do some reading, i'm completly new to nissans so there is alot to learn

That's why. Not that the SR is a bad choice at all, I was a phone call away from one a week ago.

everyone here wants to be down with the JDM Tyteness and they have no knowledge of anything, nothing, having to do with nissan and sometimes cars at all. I like someone who isn't just jumping on a trend (not that i dont love the sr)

I think the SR is a great engine, but being on a budget and not having alot of money i know i would not be able to afford one, not to mention the parts for one incase something goes wrong.

my main focus right now is getting the frame straightened, its about an inch off, and only then can i start dreaming about swaps and turbos.

Take a trip on over the to Turbo KA forum here and be prepared to search and learn ridiculous amounts. Then buy WDRacing's kit when he releases it, seeing as you're on a budget. :)

do'h, bashed cars suck, they make baby james cry:(

on the plus side, you're fixing one, good luck with it and I hope it drives in a straight line with no funny sounds for you:)

oh, and we'll probably have the topic of this thread changed in a few more posts.

and I was the greatest new member at one point damnit! (well, in my head I always will be:D)

Its not bashed that hard to be honest, both lower frame rails are straight, the upper ones need some straightening and the rad support needs to be replaced, other then that the car is fine.

I better get my Ka24de before the bandwagon gets rolling and prices go way up, its this cool USDM engine!

actually the more i think about it the more i can't deny the value of doing a rebuilt KA-T. I see it as the single longest lasting solution for about 300hp. Buy turbo manifold injectors and stuff once and brand new, and care for that fresh KA block. Then drive it for another 10 years.
