Ok...so I bought a 1990 240sx last week. It has some front end damage so I'm looking for a front end...fenders, bumper, hood...how much do they go for...also where would i get a new front frame and new frame rails under the floor pans?
I was trying to get the engine running smoothly... and it seems like the car has the wrong airbox...so I was messing with it and the maf. Which direction is the maf suppossed to be facing? I have the wiring facing up and the car seems to run smooth.
Have people been getting much gains from porting and polishing the heads and port matching the intake? just wondering if its worth my time...
Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can offer.

You can get some good deals in the "Parts/Equipment for sale" section. If you wanted to spend the money you can even find the front end from this car over seas. Called the silvia front end conversion.
My maf has an arrow on it showing which way the air is supposed to be getting in. But if you don't have one, just look into it. You should see the hot wire sensor on the side the air gets in.
Performance gains on small liter engines is not the same as on big v8s and such. The most notable gains you will get is from forced induction. Be it n02, turbocharged, or supercharged... that's where the performance per dollar is really at. I could go on for pages.. but just trust me on this. Forced induction is where it's at.
I'd just start searching around.. there is a wealth of knowledge on this forum about how and what can be done.

Congratulations, you are now a 240 owner. I think you will be very happy with your car, its just knowing what to do to it like the forced induction that was mentioned. And oh yeah as far as hooking up the MAF sensor, the small wire inside goes on the side of the airbox and the connector stays up on top and on the side closet to the engine. To sum this up, the bolt holes on the sensor can only mount to the airbox. Good Luck!
