I still love my Maxima but I feel it has its limits so I decided that I need a car with more potential. My new project car is 91 240sx. I'll be getting Tein coilovers soon and SR20DET when I can find a good one. I'll also be doing a S13 front end conversion. I'll keep you guys updated. It'll be a 300+hp 12sec daily driver. Another reason for the 240sx is to go drifting.
Here's a picture of the car with the frontend conversion.

I saw a S13 the other day. Man those are tight looking cars. I'd love to have one with a SR20DET swap....

yum

My impressions so far. First thing I noticed was the RWD(my first RWD) is quite different from FWD. I can launch the car much more aggresively than the FWD. The KA24DE is really torqey for a 4 banger but it struggles to reach the redline after 5000 rpms; redline is at 6900. I definitely need the SR20DET. I'm in the process of looking for one, so if anyone finds one let me know ASAP! I'm also in the process for the front end conversion. My US 240sx is actually a 180sx in Japan, 180sx with a S13 front end is called SilEighty in Japan. I'm also debating right now if I want coilovers(Tein or Apexi) or drop springs and shocks.
I already have a 5Zigen Fireball exhaust and HKS wires. I'll post some pics later.

NICE!!! Would you consider changing the color to bring out that gorgeous front end? Not a bad color, but I think a deep candy color might everything together, in my opinion.

Deep candy?? Are you talking about the Candy Apple Red? I'm not sure if I want to paint the car or not. I like the stock silver with blue pearl color.
