god id love to see this car finished... its been one of my favorites:)

Thank you Dr. Rich, thats it, and even though its been almost 3 years since original post, it still helps becasue i dont have a wheel....haha thanks alot man

Ok, this thing is seriously for sale. 1992 Nissan 240sx SE Coupe. Power Windows, Non ABS, Power Locks, Power Breaks, Ac that blows cold, Manual Five Speed, Power Sunroof Redtop SR20DET 5speed Greddy vspl intercooler HKS SSQV BOV HKS Iridium Spark Plugs Heavy Throttle Hotpipe Topspeed Downpipe Walbro Fuel Pump 255 Koyo Radiator HBC Manual Boost Controller BlitZ Nur-Spec Exhaust KYB AGX Shocks/Struts Eibach Prokit Springs S14 seats 98' Cobra Wheels 17x8 + 30 5 Lug Conversion 300zx 4Pot 30mm Front brakes Brembo Cross-drilled/Slotted Rotors Autometer Fuel Gauge Stainless Steel Brake Lines JGY Friction Tpye Lsd Honda s2000 Grand Prix White S13 Silvia front end Brand new Courtesy Nissan Shift and E-brake boots Momo Seering wheel Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil New VA Inspection Black ACC Carpet JDM Power Fold Mirrors Nismo tie rod bushings Car is in good shape, everything works, cold AC, interior could use a little work, their will be no stereo, however i will give an alpine double din deck if you want, pretty old deck but still cool, This thing runs very very good, stops on a dime, handles like a dream, and satisfies every whim of performance to me. Car was professionally painted in blowtherm spray booth at the Greensboro Auto Auction, one of the biggest in the nation, the wiring was done by my father, who wires installs paintbooths for a living, he did a very clean factory like job. I autocrossed the car a few times, doing very well in most cases. it has a patch in the paint where someone backed into me, but that is going to be fixed next week. body work is already done on it, just needs paint. interior once again needs some work, has s14 se cloth front seats, could use new door panels, i put a new dash in that only has one small knick on a lower portion about the size of a crumb, no cracks, was a hud car but removed hud, and got a new windsheild. has relativly new BFG Gforce KDW 225/45/17 inch tires. I love my car, but i want something a little nicer and N/A. This thing needs to go so i can get a BMW Z3, it will be missed though. Located in Narrows, Virginia, near Roanoke, Virginia Tech. email me at brianglawson@hotmail.com $7000obo Thanks Brian

if properly tuned a high compression turbo motor is ultra responsive and makes good power....its all in the ignition/fuel tuning...im an sr person in the sx wrld and there are a bunch of people runing 9.5:1 compression on turbo sr's

cool to bad im not a member......someone copy and paste the full article please...

id buy ZG flares, taillight panel, dash, console, doorpanels

yeah i hvae drivn a TT VG, it was nice, but the rb26 is a shop's asking price for the rb's they get in:) plus they are local so i could inspect:)

i think Gullwings would look good on a 240z, be very remincent ofa mercedes gullwing

im a turbo person, but i also dont drag:) but i also have seen an sr20 full spool at 2500rmp making 350rwhp! with proper fuel tuning, but guess what else i saw last night and the shop is local, rb26dett, with rb25 tranny for 4200$!!!!!!!

but i like the aspect of the rb20's short stoke design, plus its price

its all in the A/F mixutre, proper tuning is the key to succesi was under the impression rb20's cam with a t25 stock, if not what did they come with?

Now ive been doing alot of reading on higher compression turbo motors, and im really liking the idea of it, i posted this on www.zilvia.net too, but i wanted to get some opinions here as well im looking to put an rb 20-25- or even 26 in it, but what i want is the ultimate response maching i know on sr20's its possible to put the natural aspirated pistons to up the compression a little, yielding better response Option:1 RB20DET N/A SR20DE Pistons (giving 9.5-1 compression) Equal length tubular manifold 3 inch elbow full 3inch catless exhaust custom intake plenum, maybe ITB's if feasable Light Flywheel Aluminum driveshaft 4.11 gear r200 electric fans s15 t28 bb turbo at about 16 psi spearco intercooler recirculated BOV now this is assuming the piston interchangability option 2 will forthcome if 1 is shut down whats everyones opinion on this? i can get rb20's for 1500$ all day long. So this might be a good way to make 350whp or so decently cheap plus then i would have 2 2.0 240's

i like the idea of getting a real one, if i could find one cheap... but i already have a 72, and it would be just stepping backwards..

im really still wanting to do this im just having a hardt ime figuring out what to do:(

wow ed, thanks for the lookout, thats kinda close to me too:)

its a 72, in otherwords antique, so its exempt from it, and technically, i dunno if they could really do anyhting about it, on a newer car...

abas, thank you for such detailed info, i do have nice little lincoln welder:), know of any good write ups online about this, be it form the uk or whatever? the wiring harness will be changed alot anyway, and im planning on trying to use a r32 skyline ac/heat controller, so some wiring will be different, i suppose the heater box thing wouldnt be so bad:), but yeah if you know of a good writeup please do share:) bambikiller: this is a technical question, about the procedure of converting to right hand drive, i suppose it could belong in both though, but i saw more fit in tech

I know im gonna get kind of flamed for this, but, i wanna convert the 72 to RHD, i have always wanted a rhd, and well when my sr blows in the 240sx,(hopefully not soon) im gonna make rhd too:), i love rhd cars, for the sheer wow factor, the ease of shifting, and being on the outside line of the car, instead of on the inside line(safety!!!) things i would need? * firewall from rhd z * steering rack * steering coumn???(dunno about that one * dash * console * i suppose misc pedal mounts, and such? the car is getting an rb20det, leaving it pretty much stock bodied, though, short of zg flares and euro bumpers. what else would i need? keep adding on to my list, im seriously thinking of doing this...any input on process, and other things, please share? good day brian

thanks kmack for the explanation

that would be great, other than synchronizing(sp?) them but sound i would imagine would be great, oh and response i could see improving too:)

the only one i would consider, and am going to do is a 240k tailght conversion:) but not on this z

very well sayed, and from a 16 year old, as far as getting whipped, or smacked or whatever, to teach respect, that isnt needed to teach respect, respect is something that comes naturally in someone, ive seen alot of friends, hardly ever talk to their parents, becasue of how strict they are, once they were 18, moved out, and hardly ever come back, they were whipped as kids, they dont respect their parents. they come for holidays, thats it! But every once in a while the strik of fear is always good, but nothing like smacking/whipping them sensless, maybe one pop with your hand or something, but as alfadog said "But no one ever said parenting was easy :classic: "

no need for thanks...haha but now you can thank me a lil more there are importers you can order form on alot fo things, such as here www.jspec.com i think sam will special order things, and get them from japan for you, there are many other places like this too www.raretrick.com he doestn list wats, but he imports very rare japanese stuff, and he might be able to give you a hand too go to www.zilvia.net im on that forum, but so many of them have rare wheels, and such, and know many people that can do things like this, just go there register, and post it in the off topic
