new member - many ?'s
 

hi i am Stephen i do not currently own a 240 but am desperately looking for a cheap one so my buddy and i can drift around (he has a black 91 i believe that he is currently building for a turbo and he got the car for $300) i hope to find something from $300-$700 but i got to save.

OK ?'s now: how do you know which engine your car has and which is best?
and if necessary how hard is it and how expensive is it to do a auto to manual swap?

before i answer any of that, i will allow you to search. if you are not use to it, its a good skill to gain.

the forums are labeled so that you can sorta guess what is where.

ok thanks i am used to the forums for my current car where the search button is bright blue and this one is kinda blended in with everything else

The motors have serial numbers but they all look different so its easy to tell then apart.

89-90ish sohc

91-mid 95 obdI Ka24de

late 95-98 obdII ka24de

only difference was the electronics. Any DE ka could go into any 240 with the proper electronics.


edit... Smoke did it for ya lol. good stuff smoke

yeah i currently drive a 95 Volkswagen Jetta that is on its last leg of life (leaks coolant, burns oil, leaks a miniscule amount of fuel, broken front right spring, blown front strut bearing, a random occuring metal on metal screeching sound that happened last night) so i visit the forums for vw's to ask questions, etc.

wow wth.......... did you co drive that with a female or something?

Haha. Dude.... What the frig. Drive it off a cliff and collect the insurance on it to do an SR20 swap in a 240

ohh i am wishing that someone will rearend me or something and i will get a big insurance check to buy me a 240sx

How did so much go wrong with your car without you fixing any of it?...

ok when i got it it was leaking coolant i have the radiator to do it but not nice weather. it was also burning oil. due to lazy dpw workers my girl's street had a massive stretch of ice with 4 inch deep and 1 foot long potholes that i didnt know about so i am doing 30 mph and i hit it (bent a lip of my rim, got new rim, bent my spindle, already replaced that, and broke my spring, which still isnt fixed) it is amazing that this car is still alive and i beat the crap out of it
