New 240 Owner
 

Sup guys i'm and Andrew.. I'm almost 18 and just bought a 1995 240sx :) I'm super stoked to have it and will definitely have fun too. I work at Dynamic Autosports so i get hook ups on parts. Any ideas for a nice setup within a budget??

Welcome aboard. :thumbs_up:

What's you're budget, your goal, and do you want to stay Japanese?

Welcome !! This group is very fun and easy going :drink:

Welcome. Good luck with the build.

Congrats dude! Pics immediately :)

Thanks everyone :thumbs_up: My budget is around $2400 for the time being. its obviously going to grow hahaha. I figured with my cost on parts i can get a full exhaust, Apex-i EXV Coilovers, short ram, Enkei Rpf1's 18x9.5 +15 all around, and some Hankook Rs-3's for around that cost.
For now i just want to focus on handling mods so i can get some track days going. I would love an LS7 but.... thats not near possible unless i get a raise to like $230 an hour :D
Pics will be up next weekend :thumbs_up:

Welcome

Hola, $2400 would buy you a Silvia front clip with a Turbo motor electronics shipped:drink:. It's a start. That way you wont waste money on parts for a shitbox K code N/A motor that won't swap over to the new motor.

Yaa KA24 is slow but for the time i'm not looking to make a lot of power because i'm a new driver and would kill myself ahah. A lot of the guys i work with put together a turbo kit on their 13/14's that give it like an extra 90whp stock motor so if i ever need a little bit more i can do that. plus the kit costs like $600. As for now im just focusing on suspension and wheels :D

Learn to drive your car before throwing a bunch of money at it
BTW Welcome!

Believe me i plan to lol

I have to do a 5x114.3 conversion soon :/

Nice. How many miles? Any mods?

Its always better to learn how to drive a slow car fast first. Then you can handle real power. Good thinking, be safe and welcome!

No mods. Bone stock because it was driven by a grandma forever. it has 207k :suicide: so I"m going to ride this motor out until it blows and save up for a SR shortblock.

My buddy at work has a 240 with the RB20 in it, he's got a blow head gasket and low on funds though so he's been driving his Jetta Turbo...it's not as cool, so you already beat him, lol.

Haha a grandma! At least it wasn't abused... I bet that motor lasts for another 200k miles haha.... One thing you will learn is when you expect the motor to blow it seriously never will, no matter what you do... but when you are out of money and or cant spend the time on a rebuild... that is when it throws a rod and sends a piston through the cylinder head. Murphy's law dude, learn it, live it, love it.

Welcome aboard.

Hahaha yeah I've been around/ working with cars for a while now and one thing to never forget is that shit happens! It actually started missing really bad lately and its getting better. I've just replaced spark plugs, wires and now im about to change my distributor.

I did start throwing some parts on. 3" Apex-i n1 evolution exhaust, b&m short shifter, new carbon hood. Im actually jaust about to pick up some coilovers and work on my 5 lug swap. I ordered the hubs yesterday! Excited! :p

time for an LS swap :)

You have no idea how badly I want an ls7 Hahaha WAY out if my budget >.<

then get an ls1 :)
