>ruined resale value
>degraded performance
>degraded looks
These are only a couple of things off the top of my mind which happen to these cars yet vasts amount of people around the world still do it ,including people on this board. What is it about the 240sx that makes it a target for ricer and stancefags?
>>14082764
these cars are pretty terrible stock
Literally any modification you do will improve the car unless it's like 12 degrees of negative camber or something stupid like that
>>14082784
Fucking terrible*
Ftfy
>>14082784
define terrible because the 240sx was considered the quintessential drivers car when it was released,and made other companies rethink thier shit.
>>14082809
>240sx
>quintessential drivers car
>made other companies rethink their shit
You're thinking of the 240z, not the 240sx lmao.
because americucks got the cucked up ka24 version instead of the SR
this thread needs an age limit badly
>modifying a car degrades performance
what's it like being both autistic and wrong?
>>14082841
But the ka24 was superior to the japanese engine. The only reason for the engine in japan was displacement regulations.
The 240sx was the true Vision of nissan(and it was always designed primarily for the american market by americans), and its performance and driving feel reflect that
>>14082861
>But the ka24 was superior to the japanese engine.
kek
maybe to the N/A SR, the Turbo Sr was pretty good
>>14082857
alright
"Poorly" but seriously no one who buys a 240sx isn't going to leave it a clapped out husk with a shittily relocated battery and an ebay gauge cluster and literally nothing else done to it.
>>14082865
>weak bottom end,
>no torque
>have to rev the piss out of it
>market saturated with aftermarket garbage and very little OEM
>>14082809
Lel no
>>14082892
why would you buy Nissan's overpriced OEM of other tuning companies do it better?
>>14082892
>>have to rev the piss out of it
No you don't you fuckboy
>>14082764
Worst car for modding ever.
High cost to even buy the car. And you have to change literally everything about it. So you end up spending $20,000 for a mildly good car.
Worst $ per usefull mod car ever.
>>14082865
SR motors are junk. Lrn2engine
>>14082865
CA18 was the best motor that ever went into these cars
>similar heads to the RB
>cast iron block for more boost
>>14082934
Truth. Also best placement of accessories around the engine. Everything easy to work on. Handles boost well. All around good engine
>>14082954
>1.8l
>>14082917
>>14082892
they are still less junk than the KA
>>14082934
true, but rare and no aftermarket
2bh the best choice is to swap an RB25
>>14082972
Or you could just fucking leave Nissan engines behind
>>14082969
>his engine was designed for cheap production
>>14082981
LS, 2JZ are boring through
Nissan engines are kinda interesting.
>>14082972
>they are still less junk than the KA
They are both riddled with design flaws honestly. Both are junk.
>Best choice is to swap an RB25
>Large hunk of mass way out front.
No thanks
>>14082984
When did I say ls swap or zz
>>14082969
>2.4L truck engine made in mexico
>>14083001
Whats wrong with truck motor's faggot?
>>14082981
like?
>inb4 10k LS swap
>>14082988
as if the s13 were good at anything but skidz
>>14083008
>slower than a civic
>>14083016
>as if the s13 were good at anything
Ftfy
>>14083016
>Ford GT slower than a Civic
welp I guess I know which car should I get to show these bench racers
>>14083031
they are good at looking god and doing skidz
>>14083053
>looking good
Subjective, and I disagree.
>skids
Who cares
>>14083060
show us what you like anon :^)
>>14082809
> this is what 240sx owners think
>>14083068
this
*unzips dick*
>>14083060
skidz are fun
do you hate fun?
>>14083068
So you can pick it apart?
is OP the same super butt hurt guy from the general thread?
>>14083077
topkek. altho im willing to bet he doesnt have one, or just got one within the last year
>>14082892
> ka
> can't rev the piss out of it
that's all i need to know desu
>>14083080
why would you even put so much stickers on a windshield? what is this cancer?
>>14083083
Yes that's exactly why faggot
Dojt talk shit then run away because you dojt want shit talked on you fucking vagina
>>14083080
>fun
Ehh
I'd rather be fast
Also, when is losing traction frequently a positive?
> such a terrible chassis it can't keep a racing line
> becomes famous for 'drifting'
sr20's are okay, but ca18's are better. Kind of like how rb25's are okay, but rb20's are better.
>>14083060
>Who cares
Literally anyone who likes drifting.
>>14083105
if you want to go fast you buy an s15
Daily reminder modified silvias are some of the fastest time attack cars out there
>>14083100
Lol OK internet tough guy.
Rx7 FC is an objectively better car.
Typically cheaper
Better brakes
Better suspension
Better interior (doesn't fall apart)
Better chassis
More potential out of the box
Don't have to change every single part to make it good. Usually just add parts rather than replace factory parts.
So go ahead and spout memes at me all you want. You can't argue fact.
>>14083127
> rx7
Sorry lad I don't got any shit to talk we best buds now =))
>>14083127
this, the sc300 is also the superior skid machine
but the s13 is still cool
>>14082809
Too bad its an actually driftboy special crapbox.
I would prefer a civic hatch thats how shitty it is
>>14083121
>Daily reminder modified silvias are some of the fastest time attack cars out there
you can literally turn anything into a successful time attack car
>>14083143
lel, same. not to mention the civic scene is better these days
>>14083143
I would prefer a corolla 4dr fwd over a schassis
>>14083145
that isnt a truck tho, thats a spaceframe chassis
>>14083121
so are suzuki swifts,corollas, honda civics, trucks, rx7. mr2
all of these are found at the same price or cheaper in better condition than the absolutely fucked s chassis cars
>>14083156
>implying time attack silvia's aren't the same
>>14083165
no, they arent
under suzuki 15 still has the monocoque
>>14083159
>>14083145
Under suzuki fgt smd
>>14083178
wh
what?
>muh corolla is the best drift car
>muh silvia
>muh soarer
>muh rx7
everyone make a hole
>>14083276
who the hell is talking about drifting
>>14083136
>>14083108

>>14083280
you have dyslexia or something
>>14083289
so why didn't you respond to those people? they were having their own little conversation
god damn
>>14083297
sorry i fucked up i thought i have replied to them when i searched for the image
>>14083310
im going to fucking demolish you
>>14083323
this is my fetish
>>14082764
>degraded performance and looks
Unless you're talking about stancefags, what the fuck are you talking about?
>>14083001
>made in mexico
top kek
240sx KA motors were built in japan
>>14083410
No they aren't bud. Lol
>>14083340
get over here you fucking btich
slamming of boipussy imminent
>>14083471
please be gentle
>>14082934
And they eat bearings like they're fucking hotdogs.
Everybody in europe hates them, as it was the only engine option, and they swap it for SR/RB/JZ whenever they can.
Americucks like them only because they have zero experience with them.
>>14083136
Enjoy your 300kg wiring loom.
>>14082764
You know what really destroys the resale value of a car? Driving it. If you buy a car with the hopes of selling it for a good price, you're gonna have a bad time.
>>14082764
The three I owned were 100% stock and I used them as daily drivers. My buddy had a an rb25, fuel cell, up graded fuel and tarbo, NOS, and other supporting mods in his and it was stupid fucking fast. Maybe you need to hang around better people and not worry about what strangers do with their money.
>>14082764
>ruined resale value
implying id sell it
>degraded performance and looks
only when done wrong. if you care so much why dont you buy a stock one and keep it stock? or revert a ruined one back to stock?
>>14084621
same deal in australia. everything has an sr20. ca18 is for poorfags trying to soup up shitty old datsun econoboxes and special snowflake faggots in their 120% stock 1988 silvia
Does an intake, exhaust and lowering springs really ruin the resale value on a sportscar?
>>14082809
kek
>>14083077
I know what I got! (and what I got is a 90s rwd shitbox)
>>14085085
If you leave them, yeah. Except in ricer tax bizarro world where every swagfag with coilovers thinks their car commands race car prices.
If you honestly cared about resale you would just save the stock parts. Why do people talk about resale anyway.. probably the most autistic thing to talk about on an enthusiast board.
>>14085085
>>14085095
it's not like a 240sx has any resale value to begin with
>>14085107
Since when did an exhaust ruin resale value? Doesnt it make the car more desirable to the next potential buyer if its a high end version?
(not that N1 rice)
>>14083016
if we're talking truck motors
>>14085112
this
>stock 240
>lmao slow pos truck motor
>modded 240
>fucking ricer you ruined the car
>>14083120
S15s aren't all that fast, they are fun to drive though.
Friend of mine pissed some ungodly amount of money into his over the years. Conservative tune was putting something like 383hp to the wheels on the SR20.
>>14083127
Fuck I love FCs.
>>14085264
>S15s aren't all that fast
senpai the fastes tuned car around tsukuba is an s15
>>14085275
How much did it have in common with a stock S15? Friends got pretty quick, but it didn't have much stock in it.
