Damn how is someone going to actually do an ill ass 13.4 swap (which is done very well) and then go ahead and fuck it all up like that?

Yes, that car should burn...as soon as someone takes the front end off and reuses it on their 240 that knows whats going on. That front end is $1000 by itself.

[GTSLOW]

Those tires are sick!!

:wtf is a 13.4 swap? Or is that what happens when you put a 2JZ in a 240? It runs a 13.4 :rolf

[Exitspeed]

:wtf is a 13.4 swap? Or is that what happens when you put a 2JZ in a 240? It runs a 13.4 :rolf

It's an S13 240 with a later model S14 front end. It's not very common and seldom done well. There's less then a handful that actually pull it off well. That one partially pulled it off well. A+ on fitment, but f-- on the fact that there are no side skirts or any type of rear. Basically it looks like shit on a stock body 240.

Meh, i've just gotten used to ignorant comments from you, if i want to know the best suspension for a jeep, or where i can sign up for the army i'll come talk to you but when it comes to making power uhm.....yeah no thanks.

[Goat Roper]

Almost look like Integra tail lamps

[Holeshot]

I really like that color tho.

[Exitspeed]

I really like that color tho.

Yea, that color is pretty hot.

If that car got into the hands of someone who knew wtf they were doing it would be pretty nice. Honestly all it needs is some Work XD9's, like so:
http://www.speedalliance.com/datpersonalfolder/xd9wmb_2.jpg

And an Instant Gentleman kit, like so:
http://www.ravspeconline.com/shop/catalog/images/sm-s14kouki-fb.jpg

A VQ swap and put the damn thing back to LHD and that car would be clean and sick as fuck.

[wikked]

and an alignment... that looks like shit ^^^ vip or not.

I disagree.

Plus you can't even fit wheels those sizes without negative camber.

It's OK if you don't understand. The 240 community has a fetish for trying to fit insanely wide and low offset wheels.

No I understand completely.
If I slathered my car in stickers/park bench wing/etc. - and you said it looked like shit, would it be the same if I said "It's OK if you don't understand" :goof

At least there aren't any tassles/curtains/throw pillows involved :P

[Al]

Needs more tire! Put some 15s on it.

[Exitspeed]

Not all of it.

So you'd rather have some 18x7 +45 wheels on your car then some 17x9 +12 front 17x10 +15 rears?


Gotcha... :thumbsup :rolf

No because that is just plain whack.

What you are talkin about is just slappin shit on your car. What I'm talking about is fitting the widest, lowest offset wheels on your car you can. And you don't just slap them on. There's more to it then that.

You guys think this looks like shit?

18 by 10 +18
18 by 11 +18

Camber is 2.0 front 1.0 rear.

I'm not debating the car originally posted, that officially looks like shit. But with wheels like this and aero the car would look nice.

[wikked]

no that ^^ looks fine.
The other car, with the 45º angle look, does not :P

[WhatsADSM]

Yea 240 guys have "issues" with showing off their wide / agressive offset wheels with stretched tires. IMO its stupid, just like RHD.

Honestly if someone came up to me and said I'll trade you your exact same 18x9.5 rota torque-R with a +35 offset for your +20 offset I would do it in a heartbeat! I would LOVE a wheel with less aggressive offset than what I have now...

FWIW here is what I think of the original 240 posted:
The body actually is really nice! The wheels and interior are just fucked up! And I'll bet it's slow. :punch:

[nismodave]

So you'd rather have some 18x7 +45 wheels on your car then some 17x9 +12 front 17x10 +15 rear

No, I just dont think you need to put huge wheels and tires with huge lips on them for the car to look right. Same with lowering to pis out of them.

And yes Im not a fan of the combo on the car you posted. Not to mention the road kill catcher on the front.:rolf

JMO, to each thier own.

Sorry, +35 anything on a 240 is failtown. I'd rather have stockers then some sunken battleships. If you're gonna spend the money, why not put the thought and effort into your wheels and do it right?

I'm a 240 tradtitionalist and I just can't stand poor fitting ie narrow FWD offset wheels on a RWD chassis 240.

But...to each their own.

Yup I am failtown like that. I actually like having a properly fit 285mm tire on my car, as opposed to a stretched 225mm tire on a 10" +10 offset rim just to be cool like all the other 240s.

And for everyone's reference here are my "sunken battleship" rims:
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q213/WhatsADSM/DSCF1693.jpg

Here is a pic of the back of my car. IMO the +20 offset looks borderline silly I would MUCH rather push the rears in closer to the pumpkin and fit a 305mm tire back there :drool::
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q213/WhatsADSM/DSCF1694.jpg


But hey honestly you are arguing with Dave and myself who both have 240s that actually make power (unlike most of the traditionalist 240 community) and NEED rims that allow for some decent meats on them. :thumbsup

[nismodave]

Haha...Mine doesnt make the power yours does. :durr

And mine does need some more tire on it. The 215/45/17s are not cutting it. Especially after I will be able to launch the car next yr.

But I hate extra unsprung weight and rolling mass.:chair:

Damn...those tires look huge..LOL

[LIZMO]

i think offset can make or break a car imo. As you know Dave i love your car, but i think if there was some more offset and the car sat a little lower it would look better then it already does.

That's why i'm happy my 15's are pretty flush. and i hope my car can hook on a 235/60/15 dr next spring.

but i'm just a girl with a 240 what do i know ;)

Well, I should have new wheels in spring. I hope they meet your approval.:rolf

Not going to be lowered any more.

Rears look nice, but the tire is too wide for my tastes. Fronts are too sunk. Needs a spacer or lower offset.

And don't get all sart alicky about the "sunken battleships" when you obviously don't have some 18x7 +45 wheels on your car.

Unless of course what you are implying is you would rather have those type of sizes...

[whitehatch]

not gonna lie i kinda actually like it minus the exhaust.... its different whoever built it put a shit load of time and money into it and i can respect that, not like its some hacked together peice of shit...

Yar har har :goof

Let me know when that thing gets close to making the power I do. :banana1:

But yea if he wanted to trade me rims I'd do it... Those things look nice and pricey. Although I would put a real tire on on them :rolf

As a side note I do have +5mm spacers for my fronts (245s on a 18x8.5 +28) but they already rub a bit under hard cornering so I dunno how sunken they really are?!

How can I do that if I don't know how much power your putting down.

EDIT: He's putting down about 300hp to the wheels. He's got a tourquey Infiniti V8 in there, so he's probably going to be able to shred some tires pretty easy.

Here's his awesome build thread if you're interested.

Yea actually I've seen the build before on zilvia, that car is really cool. Very unique build and although I'm not a fan of his tire choice too much the rims are HOT! Additionally as his sig points out he is actually very "anti-stretch" like I am. IIRC, at one point he was one of the people that put like a 300mm+ tire under his car with the stock body and the same pull that's on it now.

I have never had my car dyno'd as it sits so honestly I am not sure on exact #s. Based on 1/4 mile trap speeds tho I'd bet it should do over 500 as it sits.

that would be a pretty solid bet, judging from what i know is done to your car and the times/ traps. cars ****** sick.

500hp! Dope. You should running in the 10's then.

Is that the type of racing you do? Do you do any road racing or autox?

:D

[WhatsADSM]

Yea only been run at the drag strip for fun since the car really isn't prepped to do that. Really it's setup more for road racing, which was what I hope to start next year. This next year I'll get some sticky tires for the strip and then use my existing rims/tires for some beginner road race events.

Flick you and Liz gotta get her swapped! It would be cool to go to events together (all the 240s on here) and run.

Nice.. Are you swapping to the V160 as well?

[LIZMO]

nope. its staying auto. :)
1. its 5 grand for the 6-speed, i aint made of money...
2. i actually like auto better b/c im lazy and i broke my left foot a few years back so its not as strong and always hurts so that means it would prob hurt everytime i go to shift.
3. && im trying to make a point to all the people that hate on autos and say they are slow...

[BAD LS1]

congrats on the ambition to perform a major undertaking like that! Will be a pretty neat to see, as i dont think there is many of those 2jz swaps in duece's locally is there?

Oh I hear you... It's the most expensive part of that whole swap honestly.. Although it is an awesome trans.


2. i actually like auto better b/c im lazy and i broke my left foot a few years back so its not as strong and always hurts so that means it would prob hurt everytime i go to shift.
Yea probably would be pretty bad since you would probably want to stick a decently heavy clutch behind it.


3. && im trying to make a point to all the people that hate on autos and say they are slow...
Right on, anyone who says that is a little crazy, especially if you are considering mostly drag racing!
If you plan to auto-x or road race you will just want to be careful with your selection of turbo(s)/cams/headwork just to make sure you keep a powerband you want. Remember its not all about making a peak number, but having the most available power (i.e. area under the curve) for what you plan to do.

Good luck with it and keep us posted with the progress pics! If you get stuck on something electrical just shoot me a PM.

Not to my knowledge... I know there was an RB25 converted 30 locally, but I believe the car is sold now and not sure if it is still local.

[Flicktitty]

Nope, he still has it. there is actually alot of RB cars floating around this area. I know of a 95-95 With a 25 and a bigger turbo Guys name is Evan, Then there is Ben with the RB30 in the coupe. Theres another kid with a 20 in a Hatch, a 20 in a Vert My buddy Eric has a Rb26 with a T78 in a hatch.

As far as JZ Powered 240sx's in this area. There was Donny at All about speed in South Milwaukee that had a 1JZ powered S13 coupe, but last i know he sold that a while ago.

So as far as i know she has the only 2JZ powered S-chassis car in Wisconsin, and she is the only Girl with a 2JZ swapped S-Chassis ar in the world.

[xxtremeteam]

looks like a fun project flick will there be a turbo as well i assume?

i'm going w/ the stock usdm cams, turbos, and injectors... so its pretty much gonna be a BPU... and for suspension everythings been touched, new bushings, new sway bars, tention rods, toe and traction arms, etc.. i don't think ill have a hard time turning fast :)

Dope. I'm glad you're doing road racing. There's nothing wrong with drag racing i guess, but 240's are just so much more suited for racing that involves turns and brakes. lol :thumbsup

I'd like to start doing road racing myself next year. I've done quit a bit of auto-X now and would like to move onto a track. Or I'll just stick with auto-X.

I gotta get another 240 first though. :durr I was planning on buying a S13 vert, but my wife strongly wants me to buy an S14. So I might just cave and make us both happy.


Oh and gl on that swap Liz.

If I was going to do a swap of that nature I'd go LSx, but that's just me. :)

The whole engine code is 2JZ-GTE. The "T" in that code designates the engine has a turbo.

Same with a Skyline engine. RB30DETT. TT designates twin turbo. Toyota just doesn't have two t's.

[LIZMO]

when are you gonna get another 240??

[Exitspeed]

when are you gonna get another 240??

Prolly spring, maybe sooner. I may end up taking a road trip down to ATL sooner then later. Since I'm down there I mind as well buy one. Looking to spend $4-$5k.
