two 40's are better than one

[TiMoN]

This is my 90 Nissan 240sx coupe. ...when it slid a bit too far while drifting.

Damn man , well at least you didn't roll her like I did my first integra. So what all got fucked up?

[TiMoN]

I didn't get a scratch from that incident. my frame didn't even touch, i just got stuck. my friends with there 275+hp subarus wouldn't pull me out cause one blew a vac line and the other just "didnt want to" for some reason even though we had a tow line... so i waited like 45 mins for a random truck to pull me out. If you ever want some sweet touge style roads to run on, look up the bull run that goes up and down the sandy river valley... wicked fun. just make sure its dry out, or you will find it hard to brake into/power out of a turn.

lol....where is the picture of the animal crackers?

[TiMoN]

the box of animal crackers is hanging from my rear tow hook in the pic.

haha thats awesome. thats a hella sick drift charm. i have some rope hangning on mine. it came when i bought my mazada. i call it dyno string. haha.

anyways welcome to the site and that looks lilke a clean 40. even for sitting half way in the ditch. good thing there wasnt any damage to it!

[TiMoN]

My 240 is very clean. It's one of very few that have not been destroyed yet. the cookie box is gone now... i'm looking into getting a little timon key chain for it.. just worried kids will steal it.

Where did you find it? Find it on craigslist?

[TiMoN]

yup.. i looked for months.. wanted the coupe cause they are lighter and more rigid.. an i wanted one that wasn't modded. i dont like being surprised by problems. i lowballed for a very long time and i finally got this one for 1850$.

[justin]

nice. ya the same goes for me. all the 240s ive seen around up here in washington have been destroyed for the most part.

[TiMoN]

it's pretty much (own a 240, drive it side ways every chance you get)

[Jen_ForesterSTi]

I told you take it from the good side... guess the dent just gives it character. COILOVERS FTW... but they are spendy. I see Timon is being hung.....

[JDM As FUCK EK]

defenetly needs to be lower :smile:

[ThEdRuNkSwIfEy]

defenetly needs to be lower :smile:

It would still be ready for 4 wheeling if I didn't buy him the springs for his birthday... My fault that I cant afford to spend a grand on him.

[Jen_ForesterSTi]

nothing wrong with 4x4

4x4 and Nissan 240 doesn't mix haha.

he did fine with it? LOL

[Ayu4ever]

Very nice coupe , same year as mine , what's next for her?

[TiMoN]

i just lowered it but it's not low enough.
I kinda want to get a ka24de and build it in my garage and go turbo with it. i know everyone will hate cause its not an SR20 but ka's are easy to find and cheap, plus the iron block high TQ numbers that they make..
I'll probably do strut bars, cpillar bar, sway bars, and all of the suspensions arms/rods before i do an engine swap though.

[Milanored92hatch]

i like your 240!!!!

[terrell]

4x4 and Nissan 240 doesn't mix haha.

ya... i know that reality all too well... *sniff* what i wouldn't give for some coilovers right now:(

[Charles Manson]

What springs did she end up raising your 4 x 4 with? Atleast your headed in the right direction and takin it slow rather then mollesting your vehicle like some 2 year old child. If you need any help sourcing KA parts, just let me know.

[TiMoN]

I'm using Eibach sportline springs.. lowest i could find with out coilovers. I'm in need of a ka24de engine swap right now. i need engine, tranny, harness, cluster, powersteering lines and tank.. i have the car prepped already.

[Charles Manson]

Tranny I got. Cluster and engine on lock. Harness and the rest of the stuff might take a little bit but i'll get back to you in a bit and let you know what I come up with.

Oh and for your 4 x 4 problem, throw some Eibach or H & N struts through the center of your springs and you should be sittin tidy. I think forty owner's take a non-spoken oath when buying into S-Chassis world that thy shall leave no gap between rubber and bed sheets! Its true, check the image.

Tanabe TSC070X coils for $850 (or you could source 'em and get them for hella cheap). Just gotta do some searching. No sense in going cheap.
