Hello Everyone! I recently joined this forum because I am going to purchase a 240SS this weekend. I am looking at a 1996 240SX SE for $5999. The following is a list of modifcations I plan to put on it:
1. Blitz NUR SPEC Racing Exhuast
2. Injen Intake
3. Power Slotted Rotors
4. Tanabe Springs (2 inch drop)
5. Tanabe Front and Rear Sway Bar
I got the price quotes from overboost.com and plan to get the parts from a local dealer. Down the road I plan to do aSR20DEt swap but for right now this is all the mods I want. Any suggestions/comments? Am I taking the right path? What does eveyone think I should put on keeping in mind that I am not made of money. Is there any good online performance shops worth looking at? Thanks for your time!

 

those are workable mods for ur ka24, if you plan on getting an sr20det just dont touch more expensive stuff likes headers etc, that you wont be able to use on the sr20

 

I would stay away from the intake unless it can be used on your upcoming SR.

Work the chassis and suspension. You will need to compliment your engine after it is installed.

 

for ur ka24 stuff look at www.enjukuracing.com and www.digitalracer.com

for ur sr20 stuff look at www.sr20detperformance.com (owned by enjuku) as well as www.srswap.com, www.digitalracer.com, and http://www.afterdark-tuning.com/

these are just the ones i like

 

yeah don't use overboost, they charge a lot over the regular price. Enjuku is great. Also try www.pdm-racing.com But seriously check enjuku

 

Thanks a lot for all of your help. keep the suggestions comming! What should i look to spend for the sr20det swap? where can i find the proper information?
thanks a ton!

 

personally, i would have a good 5k saved for the swap. for info on the swap check www.srswap.com www.unstable-hybrids.com and www.afterdark-tuning.com again. never underestimate the forums here, www.zilvia.net , www.freshalloy.com , and www.**********

 

ill take the rotors and and exhaust if you want

 

I would try and figure what you will drive to work while this swap is being done. It could take some time to complete it.

 

I want to kno how much for a GOOD exhuast and a good intake is and what brands are the best for right now before the swap?

 

well if you are really doing the swap then you'll need big exhaust piping, I would recommend the Blitz NUR, A'pexi GT or even N1 for an exhaust.

Intake, I would hold off on this until u do the swap, because all the pieces become worthless except for the air filter. If you really want something then get the Injen Intake and extension if you want some more HP

If you are gonna keep it natural I saw in import tuner dyno pages that with the Fireball exhaust (used because of the back pressure), UR Pulleys (4 of them) and intake, close to 20 whp was found, so you never know
