A few questions about our favorite car:
I was under the impression that the 180SX was the hatchback version of the 240 until my buddy got a hatchie 240 ('93). So is the 180 the hatchback version of the S14? Was the the 180 JDM only?
Granted, I'm not really an engine guy, but how do the accelerator and brake in the 240 (LHD) attach to a JDM SR20DET (RHD)? Is it a tranny thing? Also, are we limited to the '93 SR20DET in this '93 240?
Lastly, I loathe eBay. Any good leads on Silvia badges?

the throttle body is on the same side for both SR and KA so i assume the SR would link right up to the KA thottle wire.
Check the FAQ.

Whatever, if you want to get silvia badges, get them. Mine were given to me, I wouldnt buy them, but I think it looks fine. Plus when some idiot see's my car, and likes it, they will go try to find a "silvia" for sale around town, and wont be able to. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

who cares re: the badges? if you want 'em, get 'em. if not, then don't
it's his money guys, who cares?
180SX is a hatchback version of the S13 Silvia. hatchback 240SX's are technically 180SX body's with different engines. S13, not S14. there was no S14 180SX. the 180SX was sold in Japan until 1997, but was still S13. 180SX was ONLY sold in Japan.
pedals in America are in the same order as the ones in Japan. left = clutch, middle = brake, right = accelerator.

i guess on a 240 its ok to do. i'm just not for rebadging. being a former honda person it got really old seeing type r on everything. i'm sure you can see where i'm coming from.

If you live in Canada,you can import a real 180sx (88) for an avg price of $7000-$13000.And on a RHD car,the manual gearboxes are configured the same.

That's pretty expensive. I can get one here for about half that.

As for the Silvia badges, Dayna240 has the right idea, I want people to say " What the heck is a Silvia? That thing is cool." I'm into import tuning because of the originality and rarity of these cars. If I had to drive one of those Cloned Mustangs I think I'd open my veins in the bath (whoa, dramatic). I'd be ordering Soarer emblems if I could afford an SC400. Heck, the gold IS300 in Shitty Street looked good with Altezza badges, IMO.
I'm gonna go kick my own ass now for putting this much thought into badges.

Holy shit that car is hotter than you are!!!!!! lol...jp... :rofl:
What rims are those?? White is an interesting choice on a black car...
And don't buy and SC400 ryuhito...get an SC300 and swap in a supra engine :iceslolan...cheaper and faster :iceslolan
"I'm into import tuning because of the originality and rarity of these cars." I hope that's not the only reason...but at least it's better than "because I want to drift..."
My take on the silvia badges on a usdm car: if you can get them cheap and plan to actually make it a silvia engine then why not add the badges...I mean it isn't a 240sx anymore is it? no 2.4L under the hood...but it isn't a silvia either, so just slap on whatever you want :lol:

Oh my gosh, I can't begin to contemplate how much it would cost for a new SC300 and a new 2JZ. And some really, really good brakes. lol
Hopefully going to start sanding down the 240 soon. Friend owns an auto paint store so this should be fun. :) And I'm still leaning towards the Silvia badges, guys. Hey, its better than a "Got Boost?" sticker, right?

Damn dayna, i wish more girls were like you. You got good taste. those are one of my fav wheels. I love the NISMO ones rays makes too! I never knew what wheels you had on your car because i never saw a close up, but i love those te37's. I wanna get them in white or bronze.
P.S. - Could i please clone you and make myself a girlfriend?

Wait, i'm confused. Dayna is a girl? There are girls on AF? What?
Just kidding, Dayna. Rock on, my girlfriend is like that, she's correcting me about car stuff all the time. Very embarassing when people are around. lol

Yeah and you are also not importing it. He said you can import one for that cost.

you could pick up a decent SC300 for around 5000 and put in the 1JZ-GTE ( it didnt come with a 2JZ and the 2JZ is apparently a harder swap) for about 2000 not including shipping and you'd be able to kick some ass and take some names
Anyhoo the Altezza in super street had Altezza badges because it actually was an Altezza but once agian SS proved its gayness by calling it 3S-GTE powered when it had an RB26 - thats not an easy mistake to make either.

Dang, a 1JZ-GTE powered SC300. Yet another one of the dozens of cars I'd have in a perfect world. Now I guess I have to start learning Toyota stuff too. haha
The IS300 I was referring to actually is an IS300. I'm sure there have been a few in Super Shit but the one I was thinking of was a '01 IS300. SS did mistake the engine for a 2JZ because it's supposedly in the works, but it was an IS not a Altezza. It was the gold one.

not sure how we got into the cars an engines in this thread...
but my take on badges is if you have the engine you claim to have with the badge go for it, personally I prefer to just remove the badges and people really won't know what my car is.

muahaha how about the only v8 Id swap into a Nissan.....
the 500sx.....LMFAO
1969 Chevy z28 302 smallblock. Good revability, high redline, as much potential as any sbc, racing engine, highly underrated factory HP rating of 300!! ownz LS1's......
In times when most people were going for big blocks one of the best Fbody engines was right under their noses, but they didn't like it for its small displacement. Have no fear though the Chevy 302 was only used on the 1st generation z-28's, it was a designed racing engine and is stronger then the other engines of the time. They used it in Trans Am racing among others and its basically a homogolation special. They were built in low numbers too, so if you ever stumble accross one, almost buy it just for the investment lol.
