r/240sx

I've been shopping around to get my sr20det built by a reputable shop and been getting wildly different quote prices, some places are very specific about what you will get for what amount of money and others are quite vague.

Im wondering what you guys think it should cost to get a somewhat reliable 350 whp build, im not going to be drifting the car.

If I were to put 25k usd into the engine on this car what kind of power would you expect to be putting down and what power ranges should I be thinking about changing the transmission and rear diff to something stronger as well.

So I have some SuperTech's 8.6:1 pistons and someone offered me almost retail on them . So was wondering if is there better pistons for a turbo ka or should I keep the ones I have

Heya,

Just looking for some fitment advice, in 18x9+23. On a stock body s13 hatch with mint unrolled rear fenders and I want to try to keep them that way. I don't mind rolling the front fenders, running camber etc..

I know a popular stock body fitment is 17x9+15 (i.e. G33's).

Just want to confirm I can get away with 18x9+23 not having to roll the rears and clear coils as well?

(Looked on rimtuck, just want some advice here too)

Thanks for the help

I currently have an opportunity to trade my 6mt 370z for an sr swapped 240. I know it probably won’t be as reliable but I also have a c5 corvette for back up. Granted, the 370z has never let me down over the last 4 years I’ve owned it. Are sr’s pretty reliable? The swap looks very well done.

So im not any kind of mechanic but have some knowledge of cars but getting parts is still a mystery for me and im looking at upgrading my fuel injectors and exhaust manifold so any help and knowledge is appreciated.

Ok so hear me out. I know many people don't take time to answer on posts like this because it is heavy to read, but I'm hopeless here.

I have a 1993 vert with the famous KA24DE.

Last year my car broke down on the road and it wouldn't start back up. Was just cranking. I was running rough at 200-500RPM and the engine was shaking badly. If I were to press on the gas it would die. Then I towed it home and the fun of finding the f***** issue began.

In the last year, I've been diagnosing EVERYTHING on the car and I still can't seem to find the issue. I'm clearly not a mechanic but it freaks me out since those cars are usually so easy to work on...

Here's what I replaced/checked over the last year (and probably forgetting some);

-check if the ECU had codes, none found

-Cleaned the IAC

-Replaced fuel pump + sending unit + new relays for EGI

-Blew air through the lines to see if clogged

-New fuel filter and injectors

-New MAF and TPS

-New ignitor chip module + temp sensor

-Tested another ECU from another vert same gen, nothing

-Grounded injectors grounds to chassis

-Added + tested brand new engine grounds and everything is fine

-Tested compression, it was perfect

-Then decided to node light test the injectors, everything is fine there

-New FPR with a gauge, can now confirm pressure is perfect and ECU sending proper PSI

-Decided to redo the whole timing, so timing chains, sprockets, new hoses, tensioners, new rad, new water pump, thermostat, new fluids, new belts, new sparkplugs (and they all fire) even changed the oil pump while there

-pulled out the CAS, replaced it and cleaned the whole thing

-New engine mount while I was there for timing)

-I inspected my wiring harness since I'm lowered but the fenders were rolled with harness pulled on both sides and it seemed fine visually

-Smoke tested the whole engine to see if I had a vacuum leak and no leak were found at all.

NOW, whenever I pull out the injector connectors, the car starts but runs rough and dies, and when I plug them back in, the car just cranks without starting.

Also tried the flood mode and nothing works.

Please can someone enlighten me or I start pulling every part one by one and sadly selling everything on eBay waiting for a swap someday lmfao!!!

Greetings all,

I am currently refreshing my pads and rotors on my 180. I mistakenly ordered ROFU rears from Drift HQ, they fit the lugs but are not a big enough diameter. My rear brakes have spacers on the calipers and the current rotors are 288mm. I'm having a hell of a time finding 288mm rotors that will fit this application, everything I find is 300, 312, 297, 280, or 257mm.

Does anyone know of a good place to look for rotors this size that'll fit a 180SX?

Edit: I have 5x114.3 hubs. The calipers appear to be stock, since my endless type-m brake pads fit.
