Just saying hello
« on: Mar 29, 2006, 03:26PM »
Hey guys, I'm Ben from Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA.  Just thought I'd hit up some boards across the oceans to see how the car scene is doing.  I own a 1995 Nissan 240sx SE 5spd.  Just a few things done to it so far; 300zx twinturbo brakes, suspension work, JDM 180sx vlsd, few other things.  I have a ka24de being built at the moment for turbo, it has Wiseco 8.5:1 pistons oversized .020", triple angle job done on the head, ported and polished, etc.  She's my baby, just having fun with it.  So, hello everyone, hope its all good in Australia!

Yea, well I wish we had cool cars here like ya'll do.  The KA is a great motor, but not all its cracked up to be.  I'm one of the few that love it anyway haha.

question, does the 240sx come under the s14 chassis in the US?

because your s14 and "whitey" look the same.
  i was under the impression the 240sx was the equiv to our 180sx, making it an s13?
