I have only ever changed cv axels, brakes, etc. basic stuff but never went into depth with electrical, engine, transmmission. I do have a lot of questions and I from what I have read on here EVERYONE seems to hate noob questions, but it is what it is.

Welcome, type your question into Google and search for at least 30 minutes before asking in the small questions thread. If you're halfway competent enough to build a car from a shell, 99% of your questions will be answered by Google.

Hey my name is Corey, I got a 76 280z, been going to forums (including zilvia) for years but just finally signed up. Looking to do an engine swap, leaning rb20det for now; been changing my mind on what to do weekly for two years, and been simply trying to save money for the project.

Any cheep parts for the swap would be appreciated, advice too I guess.

[Mannie89]

name is Mannie and I need help, I found a 97 240sx for sale but its auto. I wanted to buy it and do a manual swap on it but most of my friends are telling not to do it because it won't feel natural. I need some one that had a manual converted to tell me their opinion.
Thanks

[Drifting Kalamari]

Hi and welcome Mannie! There is nothing unnatural about swapping to 5speed at all! Buy the car and getit done and enjoy!

[Y0SH]

Seriously Mannie, I don't know what your friends think they're talking about. It is a swap, so you'll have to collect some parts for it but it pretty strait forward and would only take someone with little experience but willing to do the work a weekend at most to have a 5speed. It's an excuse to hang out with your friends and teach them a thing or two. The chassis' aren't two different designs between auto and manual.

Hi there Community. I wanted to introduce myself here and say hello. I love motorsports, most notably not nascar... cause they just cant drive right... lol... anyway, bad pun? Umm... I love driving. I admire all sports involving challenging the skills to operate a motor vehicle. I happen to have just purchased my very first Nissan 240sx. I have driven it over a hundred miles already, it hasn't even been 24 hours since I paid the man. I love working with my hands and tinkering in the garage avoiding wife agro, lolz anway, so yea, I don't have any pics yet worthy of posting so I will wait. Hope to get to know some local enthusiasts here, maybe receive some help if I need it and ask for it, and perhaps even make a few friends. I have never drifted, owned a drifting car, but I have gone sideways plenty in my friends old van... lol

After years of lurking on this site im finally i finally signed up a few weeks ago, finally going to get a 91' 240(base coupe). located in the bay area, love the pignose and am glad to be part of this site finally. If anyone in the south bay wants a photo shoot I'd probably be down to shoot your car.

[240partsman]

Hey everyone I'm new here but have done a few swaps in past years. Couple sr's ka's 1 rb. All basic builds fun cars. Looking to buy and sell parts here and hopefully get info. My current project is a full notchback sr20det build. So far I got the head built all bc internals with bc 272 cams. I recently bought a hatch when I learn how to post pics I'll add them here. I will need a lot of parts. From time to time as well I come across parts. Thank s everyone and drive safely out there respect the roads.

[Moonride]

Hi there, Moonride here. Been lurking around for a while now and finally decided to sign up last month. I've a stock 90 hatch. Her name's Miss Piggy. Got her for free from my inlaw. That's about all I can think of for now. Drive responsibly everyone!

[Edyeezy]

Sup, Edyeezy checking in. I got a 93 hatch that likes to slide. Owned for 4 years and have gone through 4 ka24de's. Thats the story so far!

[pignose.007]

Hey guys, my name is Russ, and I'm an alcoholic. XD JK. I found this forum when searching for KA24DE swap stuff for my '89 Pignose, and became a member a little while back. Ended up buying the car from a kid who blew up the KA24E that was originally in it and purchased it with a KA24DE ready to drop in. Really looking forward to rebuilding that, and dropping it in, but have big plans for the car later on with a VG30E swap. As soon as money kicks in, there will be a build thread for sure. Just my two cents. Peace.

[Gr1mey_Norm]

hello, im Jared. I live in georgia and my 240 is a big shitbox in progress.

[gdixon94]

Hi guys, my name is Garrett and im 15. I race spec miatas and im here because i am in love with the S chassis, and I would like to learn as much as possible about these cars. I would like to try and find an s14 to build.

[StyleRipper]

Hello everyone! I'm Dean and pretty much brand new to the 240sx scene. Looking to pick one up, but don't know how much to offer. Is there any way we can price check cars here on this forum? Anyways, I currently have an Evo IX MR SE as a weekend warrior and looking to daily drive a 97-98 240sx. Hoping to learn tons about the car!

[Vladyslav7]

Well i'm Vlad, live in Illinois, have a 240 with sr20 swap, and yeah just here to learn as much as possible.

[Sooth]

Hi, everyone. I'm from Chicago and I'm here because I want to get rid of my Supra and buy a Silvia.

[Gold Coast S14]

Hey all, figured it's about that time I do an intro post and actually become a part of the community. Name's Andrew and I've been apart of Zilvia for about 3 years now, bought a small amount of stuff and learned a lot.

My car's a 1995 Nissan 240SX SE, it had a '97 JDM Kouki front end conversion with OEM Metal fenders, but the first bumper went to shit after a few street sessions... haha so I picked up a URAS rep bumper on here, refitted it and rocked ever since.

Other notable mod's include D-Max D1 Coilovers, Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood, Bride Zeta III Driver's seat with rails and Takata Harnesses. A Mazworx Harness Bar and a welded diff. D-Max LED Tail Lights in the back.

Specs bruh... 18 inch Gram Light 57S-Pro's (also from Zilvia) with Nitto NT555 Tires and Project Kics lugnuts. Serious lack of engine mod's tho, KA24DE with a AEM intake and DC Sports headers with a test pipe and a Blitz exhaust system.

That's the car, I mainly skateboard, or work and do homework... pretty much an Intro I feel.

[Vroom-vroom]

Hey guys, just wanted to pop by and say hello. I just picked up a 89' 240sx coupe from a neighbor of mine. So far it has coils, an apexi cat back, and a 5-lug swap. Still trying to find a good price on a silvia front end, and more mods to come.

Cheers

[Irohazaka]

Hey all, the name's Greg.

Browsed this forum for a while, but never joined - didn't see a need to.

Bought a '89 240SX XE two-tone (green/gray) about a week and a half ago, and remembered this forum since I've been looking for a set of OEM alloys from a '91-'95 so I can have a set of summer tires and a set of winter tires. (Apparently, I can't create a thread in the Wanting to Buy section of the forum, though...)

[Clutch-Kicks]

Hello everyone,

My name is EJ and I drive a 89 240sx hatch. Im a current auto student at El Camino. I've had my S13 for about 3 years now and decided to be a part of the Zilvia community. At the moment Im hunting down a Blitz I-Burner kit, so if you have one I'll buy it off of you!

My current mods are, Injen intake, Mishimoto radiator, Tein basic suspension, EM Usa arms, Buddy Club Spec 2 exhaust and P1 Rims and a VIS Vspeed body kit.

I am a beginner at drifting on a college student budget, any kind of helpful info to improving my car or driving would be greatly appreciated.

[S13Sr20det_1993]
