Hey everyone! I joined the forums right after getting my first 240 since I was in high school! I just picked her up 3 days ago and am excited to share. It's a 93 with an SR20 which ran me pretty steep but it has a clean body and puts 364hp to the wheels.

That thing looks good so far. Welcome to the forum!

Hi, coming here because I'm considering the purchase of a particular car. Have had a long time interest in the platform, but have always had others take priority. Maybe it's finally time to get an S-chassis, maybe it isn't. I'd be thankful if you can help me make that decision in my first post.

Welcome! The site is lot more slow than it used to be, but there are still some people who check in and should be able to give some advice.

What’s up fam, always been on the forums since i bought the 240. Love the turbo build bible that someone did yeaars ago lol. anyways here the whip, bought it a few months ago, was running good until i had some problems ( i believe its the timing) i bought another maf and put in a new maf pigtail because I thought that was the problem. But we believe its the timing since its idling weird. We checked if its a vacuum leak but its not. If y’all have any ideas let me know.

Ha, thank you! I was told she is completely stock. Looking to find a good mechanic in NYC area to check her out and fix a few small things like the speedometer, radio and cigarette lighter.

She looks clean and great. I’m sure you’re already addicted to it. What did it cost?
I’m looking to get a later S14 that looks mint not necessarily new if you can point me in a direction

My 1991 240SX got hit a few weeks ago, looking like I'll need a new driver side door and fender, and since the paint is so old I'm thinking about getting the whole thing painted once I get the door & fender replaced. It just hit 320K miles, so not sure how much longer the engine has left in it but want to keep it on the road as long as I can.

Does anyone in this group have a recommendation for:
1. The best place to source the parts from? I live in Atlanta & can travel anywhere in the metro area to avoid shipping costs.
2. Where to get a good quote for a paint job?

Thanks for your help, love seeing everyone's 240s in here.

Most recent picture is the worse one in the garage lol. Picked this "turd of a used model car kit you bought at a garage sale and never touched" of a car a couple months ago via trading my 99 forester that I had just refreshed.. it came with the tranny in the trunk and ka24de on the ground. I've previously owned a 89 fastback(pristine 5SPD rolling shell) and a 92 fastback(clapped cheeks doner) with intentions of doing this exact swap 17 years ago, but unfortunately i became a part of the all to common 240sx owner stereotype.. buy,no touch,sell,regret. I sold them both for $1100, only lost $100.... ×10 that nowadays but we don't think about that.on the bright side almost warm enough to start paint, MT just snowed 2 inches and the garage is actually colder inside than out somehow..weird) and about to attempt the 1st start so I'm pretty stoked. What's up everybody! The clean s13s got me jelly not gonna lie. Mine came with a pretty cool license plate

If anyone reading this could help me out with my high idle issues on my ka24de please check out my other post explaining the exact issue and what ive tried to do to fix it. Heres some quick photos of my current s13s

There's a newb intro post started in 2016 by Scoot, but I think I locked or deleted one that was even older than that. I wanted to get those links in the first post a little more visible to new people on the site.
