hey all just I just picked up a 95 240 Sx my previous car was a 99 Type R but it was stolen in sept i loved the R alot but owning one in toronto
is not worth the hassle sooner or later its gona get stolen I guess i was lucky enough to own the car for almost 3 yrs
so i decided to switch to something different i actually never thougt Iād go nissan lol i was always a hardcore honda guy my previous cars was a 94 GSR with a JRSC super chargerā¦ other cars i was considering were a ITR swap eg hatch, h22 eg hatch, and a few modded 240ās with with sr20 swaps but after some thinking I thought I just get an unmolested 240 and take it from there
in comparison with the ITR and a stock 240 auto btw for now ā¦
the itr in stock form i feel outhandles the 240 my R felt also lighter,more nimble, and steering response is alot smother on the R its alot easier to drive a Fwd carā¦ but just getting to learn rwd it seems alot more fun! i can take turns alot sharper over all tho i think the 240 is a great car with lots of potential canāt wait to star modding this bithch :lol:
Iāll post some pics of the old car and the new car tomorrow
Theres a wicked Best Motoring video with some touge battles, theres one with a modded ITR against a modded S14 silviaā¦ close race, both cars were at the same level although the S14 won both the uphill and downhill.
the ITR is the ONLY FF car Iāve ever liked and would ever want to own.
Good luck with your 240, hit me up if you need somewhere to work on it.
yeah heheh I saw that video not too long ago, it was actually an S15 i though ? not an S14 nways not sure what the difference would be HP wise between an S14 and an S15ā¦
but yeah the itr did pretty good against a more powerful car and they both had similar lap times i forget at wich track they commentedā¦
Im looking forward to the 240 scene first thing im gona learn how to drive the car in stock form and then start the from there
the car is auto right know so a motor swap would be my first priority
spilner do you own a shop? or work at a shop ?
Itās good to hear that you are happy with the purchase.
Whether youāll do an engine swap or get a 5spd. swap and go turbo with the KA engine, youāll need the driveshaft for the S14 (and also the pedals, but the S13 clutch pedal works as well). The S13 driveshaft doesnāt work. Also, you gotta see if yours has ABS or no ABS.
They are a bit hard to findā¦ but you can always get a one piece aluminum one madeā¦ but thatās a bit on the pricey side, just for a drive shaftā¦
In any case, youāll find most of that stuff around here anyways, just ask people around or post in the WTB section
My buddy had his Type R stolen last year, it was never recoverd .
Good luck with your purchase man, Im sure you will have a lot more fun with your 240sx.
I like both your cars lolā¦ the ITR was nice and tasteful, hopefully your S14 will be the same.
If you want to convert to 5 speed I currently have most of the necessary parts at MSSC, let me know if your interested.
and the best motoring vid WAS an S14, a yellow oneā¦ the race after that one was an S15 against an MR-Sā¦
The S14 and ITR had similar power but the FR setup gave the S14 the advantage in the turns.
congrats!
i just got my s14 as well (previous owner in on son240)
got a question, those fogs are stock right?
i wonder why mine didnāt come with those fogsā¦ even though itās an LE model
anyone care to enlighten me? or maybe where to get them?

BTW: if you need parts you migh want to check out www.neo240sx.ca as well.
Oh jstn, do you have the fog switch in you car, should on the same arm/lever (w/e) as the headlight switch. If it does, the previous owner probably broke them or for whatever reason took them out.
congratz man i just got me a s14 too and im in love with it take it easy at first i still am lol if i didnt get an s14 i would wnat a type r they are hott.
i loved the R alot but owning one in toronto
But w/e, hopefully doing a swap soon. Welcome to SON, and like Bog (Lith) and Phil (s14_2Nv) said, any info or parts you need you should be able to find on here. Good luck!
