Fuck all the tips you just received this is what you should do. Drive the car bone stock for a while about a year or more, learn the car and it's limits before you drop a turbo in there and you end up crashing your car in the wall. When you have had the car for a while you will know if the 240 life is for you or you want to sell your car and get something newer or more reliable I have seen many people come and go they get their car start dropping loads of money into it and abandoning the project halfway selling the car and cutting their losses. For most people it is just a phase. Take it from me. I got my first 240 2 years ago and haven't done anything to it I now feel comfortable enough and sure that I want to drop some money into my car even though I could sell it and buy something newer.

What you really should do is put it in a box and send it to me. Or send it via PayPal.

Seriously though I debated on forever what I wanted to do with mine...it's really in what you want to do with the car. I finally decided to go with the 26, because I want a reliable 500hp. Why? I wanna go fast in a straight line, consider this I've spent 4 grand and all I have is a r33 rb26 and all its doing is sitting on an engine stand... a lot of work will go into a 26 swap.

Keep the KA, it's reliable. Drive the hell out of your car and when it goes boom get an LSX. I've gone through two SRs and it's just not worth it.

If you have never built a car before (which is obvious you haven't else you wouldn't have made this dumb fucking post) just drive it stock and figure out what you want to improve.

If you wanna be a scene stance bro, make it look cool, no one cares about a swap besides the fact that it sounds good.

If you want to be fast. Plan to spend double your modding budget.

I 2nd the suggestion of selling the 240 and taking the cash and buying a well-sorted low-miles 350Z. If you want a project to drain all your money away for years, import a Skyline GTS-T or GTR.

Coilovers. Diff. Seat. Wheel. Shift knob (this one is pretty subjective). Z32 brakes or whatever. Cool wheels. Cool wheels. Make sure you keep the car really clean and nice. Keep the stock KA while you're still learning. This is the formula to being happy happy happy with your car.

SRs are super cool and fun as fuck but sometimes I feel like I'd rather have a really reliable KA and a nicer car than a somewhat reliable SR like my car has right now. But don't even open the hood aside from oil changes until you have lots of experience. A healthy KA has more than enough power to drift.

+1 what Reece said.

OP, just please don't pull ISIS on that bitch (the KA) like the ancient cryptic lost language speaking homeboy that just joined...
