Nice 240

A lot of Nissan owners go rotary....myself included.

 

thanks for the comments guys, that 240 was only running about 280whp, kinda quick and fun, and im not sure if i neccesarily want to go rotary, i might LS an FD or RB25 or something else, not sure if i will get along with the rotary and where it makes its power haha something i will have to figure out once i own the chassis (hopefully soon, im very picky) and thanks Kentetsu for the offer but i am stuck pulling the dock out of the lake with my dad, another time for sure i am more than game to go!

 

But the sound....

Welcome, I have a silvia front coupe (also a 240 guy)

 

hahaha 4 rotor does sound wicked....but lots of coin! im not that rich lol

 

another person in grand rapids i cant believe it.....
i think what you really want is a SA or FB like all the other people in grand rapids aint that right kentestu, cause i have to say he just wastes ever car in auto crossing
anyways welcome
we should all have a get together
-kyle

 

by the way dont let me young age fool ya

 

haha thanks for the welcome man, everybody in grand rapids does have an fb or fc it seems, so thats why i am going the FD route, i like being the odd duck, you never saw 240's running around like mine and thats what made it cool, but we should all get together, hopefully i pick up the FD i found this saturday, its not perfect and needs a little TLC (my initials haha) but i will make it gorgeous. probably post pics saturday if all goes as planned

 

yea we all hang with kentetsu when we can, i think there are 5 of us now that have either an SA or FB, then i think their is a few 2 gen people out there but i have onlny met one so far,

speaking of odd duck, that is exactly my car....

 

haha for sure man, not many FD guys in GR thats for sure post a few of your whip

 

hahahah thats a joke only got about 135-140 hp on my car, with just doing the simplest upgrades...like electric fan, upgrading my car to a dual exhaust just looking for the pipe and mufflers still. just bought a 12a rotary engineering uncollected header brand new and it came today along with some after market guages that i am putting in

 

sounds pretty legit man, i aim to impress with mine when its done

 

nice I had a s14 be4 but there's nothing like a rx7 the S13 and S14 just cant give u what a rx7 does.

 

haha thanks man, i hope to experience that soon, couple days and i should have one in my garage to build up

 

i already impress...with me being so young and doing all the work myself with not alot of help if any and the color of mine turns heads everywhere i got

 

Saturday forecast: Mostly sunny, high of 53.

Kinda cold, but it won't be raining. Maybe we should get together this Saturday. I could probably do something around noon if anyone is interested...

P.S. If you're on Facebook, friend me (ken tetsu)

 

i will add you on facebook ken, i will be picking up my FD saturday but should be home around 1 or 2 ish, so i would be down to meet up then

 

mind if i stop by mark.... i wanna show you these new parts and hang i guess

 

Okay, figure on gathering anytime after 1pm. Maybe we'll throw some dogs on the grill...

 

works for me, i'll give you a shout

 

brett or joe joining us? there is also a new guy also mind if he joins if he can that is--he is the one with the grey/blue 1st gen that is new to the forum
ill text you mark

 

Nice 240 and good luck

 

Go ahead and bring him Kyle. The more the better.

 

Driving a rotary is a little different. they make power linearly, and you have to rev the hell out of them to keep the carbon build up down. I had a N/A 13B in my FC and now I have a JDM 13B-T. The LS1 FDs are fast, rode in one, however it feels a little wrong. Like putting a SB 350 Chevy into a Shelby Mustang. I have 1st hand knowledge of losing a Apex seal on my N/A motor. It still ran, even at idle, however it had no power and sound like a lawn mower. Lose one piston in a V8 and till me how far it will drive. I have going over the whole hating pistons thing. Because I like the LS series motors they are great. It is just taking a rare motor out of a rare car.

 

nice 240 man
