You and your 3 240’s remind me of only one other guy who pretty much buys them in bulk, and thats one of Govel’s Welding’s sons, he had 3 last I remember, unless that is you.
hey man can you post my car on Club nico forums for me? I would really appreciate it. I am the other guy on the board that has a 240 but my car hates me and I am switching to another ride. Send me an email at damonspeeds@yahoo.com if you could. I have a bunch of extra parts if you want to sell some stuff on there for yourself too
eh, 1.8 im not a fan of only like 175hp stock, i got full 3" exhaust and new headers,along with a aem intake that it comes with…so like 179hp after that?lol but theirs a rod knock coming from the ka24E and i got the car for 300 some what nice body, got the motorset and all for 600.(i drove the car it was in, works great) 127K just gunna fix that up a little swap motor and bam instant Daily driver. The red hatch im going for show. motors gunna stay the way it is til my repo jobs starts (part time for cars in albany and schenectady county)(pay your car!) then ill finally be able to spend money on this stupid addiction
lol @ sean ^… well this “caused me” to buy the following ( even tho i only broke the right rear control arm) :idiots
-Cusco 18mm Sway Bar
-New control arms
and the total of all above $70 including labor and alignment!!! because family friends w/ garages are the best!!! :mwahaha :mwahaha,
update for the 89’ i got the motorset today, came with everything, uncut wiring, mines ecu. and a couple other goodies… now if it wasnt going to snow 2FT tommrow i’d start on it tonight…
P.S i hate idiot honda kids trying to drift with FWD. 6 of them almost hit my car. the other night.
lol vlad, well im in rotterdam, here you’ll find civics from the 80’s drifting into polls, signs and what not. and there was a brand new SI drifting too that hit a parked car. lol when i went out last night on my sled, i drove threw rotterdam and raced a rotterdam police suv down curry road. he laughed and said 4wd in half of the trucks dont even work. lol
update… well not a update just a quick point less post, this happened 5 minutes ago…lol i went to move my grey 240 into my drive way from my front lawn. Got about 3 inches on the road and a cop comes flying out of no where. He gets on his mega phone saying, DO NOT MOVE!, mean while all my neighboors are coming out to watch the event. 20minutes later after convicing him thats he ridculious, he said “you wanna be ridicious?”, this is ridicous." :angry2 Tried to get me a ticket for :
-Uninspected vechicle
-No registration
-Reckless driving -> trying to get extra$$ for christmas i guess
-Failure to yeild -> To what? snowflakes???
-None visible licence plates. -> DUH its not on the road idoit!!
And then a state trooper stopped and asked whats worng, he laughed and said to the local cop. ont waist your time, the judge will shoot you down for this one.
This is why shcenectady cops should not be allowed in rotterdam.!! period! :headbang
dude that is to ironic because when I first put my 240 on the road I got no insp, no registration, switched plates, no lights and loud exhaust. Get a lawyer a quick 250$ can save you points and drop a couple tickets. You are lucky they did not try to bring you to the station. and tow your car to impound because they did that to me. It was premeditated :angry2 if they appeared out of no were someone isn’t feeling you. :angry2
maybe bacause my grey 240 has a exhaust leak, and loud rod knock, ( i run it 4 times a week). and my red 240 has a 3" full exhaust going to a 4.5 in can. and possibly b/c i have all three on my front lawn, only 1 is on the road, one is under a carcover and the grey on is just chillen there
I forgot to mention, the ca18det is the 180sx (240sx in europe)
Quick Nissan Lesson:
Japan sr20det 2.0L Turbo
Europe CA18det 1.8L Turbo
USA KA24de 2.4L (Should have made them turbo)
But back to the question, the CA is easy to swap if it comes with the harness, just about the same work to install a SR. If you dont have the harness, GOOD LUCK! lol. but i just got the motor in my basement today, just cleaning and inspecting for now. O! and btw, the Ka24E, is running great, after i got bored yesterday, i pulled it in the garage, did a motor flush, and replaced vavle cover gasket, and it runs great, the oil was nasty, lol it looked like Mrs. Butterworth was all up in my motor!
