just had an idea for a thread that i thought might be cool.

what are your plans for your 240SX?

list the car you own/want to own, any mods you plan to make (don't have to be precise if you don't know exact specs) and what you plan to use it for.

as for me...

my plans:
car: 1989-1993 240SX hatchback
Suspension: Tein HA's or JIC FLT-A2's, other suspension pieces from various companies.
Wheels: SSR Formula Mesh, or Reverse Mesh, or RS Watanabe, or Longchamp XR-4, although i'll probably own alot of different sets.
Exterior:Wangan wing.
S13 front end with stock K's bumper, or Aero if i can find one for cheap enough. oh, and no grille. i love S13's with nothing in between the headlights...180SX windows and 180SX centre panel on rear lights. carbon hood, possibly FRP front fenders, possibly a G-Corporation Flash S13 front bumper...but i'd take it off to drift, as i wouldn't want to wreck it.
Engine: S14 SR20DET
Exhaust: Trust DD exhaust
Interior: Bride driver's seat, Zenitani carbon rear seats, Nardi old skool steering wheel, Nismo or OEM S15 shift knob, roll cage.
Engine Mods: engine parts will come as i decide to buy them...there's so many options, that i haven't decided on anything concrete yet. but the engine will be receiving ALOT of new parts...aiming for 300-350hp, so think pretty much everything. FMIC, BOV, Pistons, Fuel Pump, crank and cam shafts, valve, valve springs etc., EVERYTHING!!
Paint: some sort of blue, something like the color of that S14.5 in the other thread.
Brakes: Endless Calipers and Rotors, Project Mu pads, braided steel lines, new master cylinder.
drivetrain: Kaaz 2-way, carbon driveshaft, c' short shifter
and NO STEREO EQUIPMENT!! all that shit does is add weight.

if there's anything i missed, i'll add it later.

SO! let's hear your plans...:)

Hey Brian... i just recently brought a chinese Magazine in HK... very similar to OPTION. They tested alot of suspension including the TEIN one. But at the end, they said that ZEAL Suspensions were better..... what are the reasons why?

and sorry... i will post up my list later... :)

seriously, im completely done with my car.

if i still keep it next year which i prolly will, im getting a catback exhaust and new hi flow cat.

if i wanted to keep this car and put more money into it i would put in an lsd, bigger injectors and ecu upgrade. but if i do come across a REALLY REALLY good deal for either or i will pick them up.


im meticulously trying to throw tons of money into my savings to get that 240 that runs 9's. if i cant get it for some reason i'm buying a 12.0 sec car or faster... i dont care what it is....

Depends how much it's going to cost me to source one from the UK- but either way- it'll be an S14 200SX


Engine: The SR20DET it came with

Engine mods- They'll be hard to source- so I haven't though about those yet either- but 350-375 is my desired bhp- but I think a Blitz front-mount intercooler is pretty much confirmed a place on my 200SX also Nismo fuel pumps are the way to go as well- or so I hear- but somnethings that also well see attention are BOV, Camshafts, Exhaust,
Engine management, Turbo Timer, Intake, Pistons & con-rods, Air Filter, Injectors (Sard 550cc's probably), muffler, extractors, oil cooler, fuel pump etc etc.

Drivetrain: Nismo 2-way Mechanical LSD, Heavy duty clutch

Suspension: Coil-overs- rear toe control arm, front and rear stabiliser bars all get attention- of course there will be much more than that-
Suspension is an important part of any drift car:wink:- I just haven't thought about it enough

Interior: Keeping it RHD, stock steering wheel (Airbag issues :frown: )
Racepro drilled pedals, Gagues (Water temp, oil temp, exhaust temp, oil pressure and boost) , boost controller, Recaro seats Retrimmed in Red and Black leather, Aluminium panelling in the dash, MOMO gear knob (Because I can get them cheap through a friend), Roll cage

Brakes: Not too sure on brakes yet- but Calipers and Rotors will be upgraded hopefully- Project U Pads are pretty much confirmed though

Exterior: maybe a CF hood (Because I like them so much) and front bumper- and aluminium wing, painted in a similar gold to the Top Secret R34, other wise stock.

Rolling Stock: 17 inch OZ Racing Superturismo's with Goodyear Eagle's.

ICE: stock or none.


The project will start maybe late this year to early next year

but it's meant to be DRIVEN! you don't buy a Nissan S13 Silvia and take it to car shows. you drive it!

if i bougt that car, i'd sell all the show-related crap on it, and use it for what it was made for: track terrorizing.

I don't think I'll be getting a 240 until I get out of college. My dad hates RWD cars and since we get a lot of snow in the winter, he probably wont be too happy with me buying one. I'm only in high school now, so its prolly gonna be a while. But hey if I do get one while i am in high school, its my money, and if hes such a hitler about driving it in the winter i'll just take the bus...or take his ol' mercury sable wagon :cool:.

I also have no where to drift here on the east coast. All I would have to resort too are the long windy, woodsy roads, which isn't too bad until I hit a tree :tongue:.

but hey, it's his car. doesn't matter if i like it or not.

btw, driftin_SX. they're not "Type X" taillights. on the later model (Kouki) 180SX, there were many different trim levels (Type G, Type X etc.), but ALL of them had the exact same tail-lights, so they're just KOUKI tail-lights, not Type X. sorry to be picky, just something that bothers me. as for the spoiler, i'm not sure if the Type X was the only one to get it or not.
