[My240NeedsHelp]

Hello... I am brand spanking new to this forum. I've inherited a 1996 black Nissan 240. We've had it in the family since 2002. long story short: hubby purchased the car with intent to drift, got pregnant, it sat idled, brother borrowed it mean while, now I'm driving it daily.

133,000 miles later, the 240 needs help and I don't know who I can take it to. I took it to two local mechanics and I think they made the car worst. I want to take it to someone that appreciate the car and understand it's capability.

Where can I take the car? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hey whats up. Joined zilvia awhile ago lurking around for some cars. Ended up getting a Z32 Turbo. I love the car and needs some work.(What do you expect for $2900) Ill be building it as a drift Z32/Grocery Getter. I will have a build thread up as soon as i get new parts for it.

Whats going on everyone. I'm not exactly new to the site since I came here when I was shopping for my baby (s14). Been a big fan of Silvias for a while now. First became addicted when I saw a bad ass sil-eighty and after that I had my eyes set on a s13. Until one day my boy came around with his s14 (RB20 swapped in) and I decide that I had to have one. Worked my ass off to buy my zenki last September and I'd rather sleep in it than my bed lmao. Right now I'm just saving up while seeing what I can upgrade until I can drop a SR20 in, but at the moment she just has a few small things done:

Car: 96 240sx SE model - 98k on odi, 86k on the KA
- Hot shot headers
- Apexi N1 Duals exhaust (3 inch pipe)
- Intake

Looking to add a few stuff in preparation for the SR20, not exactly sure where to start so I will be browsing the forums a lot to get a sense of what I should do. I'd appreciate any help and information from more experienced owners.

Hey I'm new I the forums! Just got my 95 se zenki 3 days ago!

[Mr.Clerc]

Whats going on, my name is Stephen. I just bought a 1992 240sx. I know a semi decent amount about cars in general but never worked with Nissan motors before. My goal is to do an RB25DET build in my coupe and just had a few questions as to where i should start, other than saving money lol. Hopefully I will be starting a build thread soon with some pics but some advice on what to expect would be appreciated. Thanks, I'm new to this forum as well

[TinMan09]

Whats up? I'm from Georgia, Stationed in El Paso and i drive a white 1994 Mazda RX7. I love Kouki's and i'm trying to find a clean white low mileage kouki which is what brought me here. Gotta sell the FD eventually though.

[Traditional]

My Names Callum, 18 from Brisbane, I drive a 2000 Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-S. Work in IT, love cars, lifes chill, that is all. Want to go fully stock look with an oem body kit, get 18s to replace my 17s, drop it a little more..

[JBrock78]

Hey, I'm Jake. I have a '89 coupe which you can see in the pics thread. I plan on doing a full restore and rebuild on her... so it's gonna take a while.

[TAP240]

I'm Ted, I've had two 240's this year so far, so figured it was time to post up. Both were '96 zenki's converted to kouki's, each with SR swaps. I currently drive a black "kouki", 101k original miles on the chassis, 85k on the motor, gold rota wheels, dropped on springs, HKS hi power exhaust, t28 turbo, tuned, etc etc. Looking forward to getting more involved guys!

[gc_S14]

Hi, new here live in southwest KS owned a total of four 240 plan on geting another one soon

[TheMidnight1]

New from Nashville TN. I came here so I could purchase a kouki lip from CrimsonRockett, which I have already done. I think I will stick around though... I have 1 almost complete 240sx and 1 M30 in need of serious work to save. For my day job I am a mechanic and currently I work at a restoration shop for classic British cars. That's my story for now anyway.

[TheZ31Guy]

Hey there everyone!
I'm new to Zilvia, but I've been visiting the for sale and WTB sub-forums for quite some time

I own a 1984 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 N/A unfortunately but she's quite the beast in some cases


I hope to gain some more data about drifting and what not. I've been drifting for a while, just not real seat time at a track or real layout

[illest__s13]

Yo!
My name is Greg. I'm USAF stationed in Germany. Just purchased a 200sx S13 with a CA18det. Right now I have large FMIC and complete 3" exhaust with a Blitz stage 1 chip tune. Looking to do some upgrading. First step is finding a Nistune type 1 board. So... if anyone has any leads please let me know! Glad to be a part of Zilvia. Already learned a lot from researching the threads.

[G_RB20]

Hello, my names Gianni and I'm from so cal. I'm new to any type of forum regarding the automotive field. I've been messing with 240s since I was 14. My first one was a 1990 s13 that was beat up but I ended up getting in a bad accident with it when I turned 16 and didn't have a car all through high school. Around senior year I found an ad for a 89 base model hatch and I bought it and slowly put it together the way I always wanted. It went from a shell to a silver hatchback with a Silvia ks front end with coilovers, 5zigens and an rb20det under the hood. I also have a 92 hatch thats gutted with a 6 point roll cage and full suspension, now its just waiting on a motor (hopefully ka-t).I do all the work myself and pride myself in doing things right when it comes to wrenching on my car or any of my friends cars. I thought Id join this forum mainly for buying and selling, and hopefully meet some s and z drivers that love nissans as much as I do.

Hi My name is matt, I bought a white s13 coupe with a blown engine in it, bought an engine from a member on here, pulled it with a friend, swapped the used engine in with a friend, painted my tires and now its running, saving up money for rims and a trip to a shop to get it running healthier. Planning on selling it, or trading for an s14 and going rb in it.

[Altezza02]

hi im new here, i drive a silver 5 speed is300, i already have a 2jz-gte thats going to go in the is300 after i upgrade it a bit. i love 240s and am thinking about getting one. my buddy nickisazero referred me here.

[swervo]

My name is Dewayne and just recently stationed in Okinawa, Japan. I'm coming from mustangs, but since I'm in Japan I want to try to find a 180sx or Silvia to play with. It's the reason I joined this site, to learn more about these cars. Thanks.

[cristss13]

My names Chris and ive been into cars since i was a little kid. Coming from a family of muscle car owners they find it funny that im building a car with a "tiny 4 cylinder". I've always wanted a 240sx but people that sell them around me want about 4X more then the car is worth, so i just waited. Then one day when i was in class about to fall asleep, i get a call from a friend and i pick up and tell him quietly i can't talk and i'm in class. He tells me to step outside that it is important. He tells me he met somebody that wants to get rid of a shell for 400 bucks because hes moved on and bought a new car or w.e So i check it out and its got a swiped quarter panel, and a 6 inch or so rust spot on the passenger floorpan. Other then that it was in overall good condition. No cracked dash, nx1600 digi cluster, etc. Its paint is pretty much done but im not entirely concerned with that.. the Drivers quarter panel is side swiped. I managed to beat some of it out, but im tossing overfenders on it anyway. I picked up a redtop about 2 months ago from jdmengineworld in queens NY. the turbo was seized. I put oil into it and it managed to spin but not freely enough to consider good. So ive been collecting parts to finally put it into the 240 which i should have mentioned is a black 93 hatch. I'm tossing on a few upgraded parts while im at it. A Isis intake mani and front mount kit, mishimoto rad with 2 efan pullers, aluminum 1 piece driveshaft, tubular exhaust mani and full 3 inch exhaust, SS turbo lines with a s14 water neck so i dont have to feed the return behind the motor. And a few other random parts. Its going to be rough around the edges for a while but i wanted to get it running so i can atleast enjoy it a little bit while i get bigger and better parts for it.
