Titled the thread ultra zenki b/c the OEM color my car is "ultra red" which is kind of corny. Right now I can't afford any mods till summer. I just need to lower it and get some 17's before I'm done with cosmetics.

The only thing I've really done to it is put the NaVan wing spoiler on it, got a much better stereo system instead of my blown out stock speakers, and a black tint was there when i bought it. The black tint makes my car looks so much better, glad it came like that when I bought it used. Red with the black tint mixes well

Those wheels look tiny. What size were stock for US cars?

tiny and car is too high, really need to get some 17's and drop it. Would really like a five lug conversion but that'll run me a grand. Guess I'll have to poke around for awhile for nice 4-lug rims

#1 should have got an SE.
#2 should have got an SE.

that is all.

#3: should've got a 5-speed. :p

spoiler looks good though.

^ yes I know everytime I show my car out to someone on the internet, first thing they usually say is "Oh I like it except the auto, get a manual!" Well where I'm at, there's over population and it's only getting worst. Traffic is the biggest bitch here, also I've poked around for a 240 far too long and I haven't come across a zenki manual, most of them have been auto. I found mine at a great price ($3,900) so just decided to get it since it was a great price. I've been still keeping up with 240sx's being sold around here, not only do they not have manuals, but no one are selling 240sx's at all anymore. Also I wanted the zenki style anyways, kouki preferred but out of my price range.

3900 is a good price...though a manual conversion will cost quite a bit and to add the things that the se had you'll be past the range that most SE manuals go for in the first place

That wing does look nice...don't like the color much either...black, emerald green and metallic blue/green are the best colors...though the dark reddish metallic looks nice too...a little too purple sometimes

The 92 I was about to buy wasn't virgin :-/ and 2k was more than I wanted to spend for a car that was thrashed and street raced. So now my quest for my 96 se manual is back on...hopefully by febuary or march I will be posting pics. If I can't get a 96 then I am also looking at 97 and 98s and will just convert them to a zenki later...after I do a swap or turbo the engine and do all the other minor mods I want.

still a nice 240 btw...even if it is auto :lol:

yeah nice car... but are you going for performance? if not then i have no problem with the car but if you are you should sell it and get a new one lol... i dont really like the spoiler myself... thats a mr2 91-93 spoiler right? or just one that looks like it?

#1 should have got an SE.
#2 should have got an SE.

that is all.

f*ck se.

wow, 5 lug wheels...whoop-ty-freakin doo...

you think they call it an se just because it's 5 lug? boo-hoo then.

naw i just want to make it look a lil better and have a lil better acceleration. I don't plan to drift or drag race, just as my daily driver. For performance I plan to get injen intake w/ cold air extention, and apex'i dual n1's exhaust system. Dunno about headers yet, I've asked many times if anyone knows how much hp it increases around but no one has answered. Hey klohiq since u like the zenki style, and i like the kouki style, maybe we can swap front-ends if you do get a kouki lol. The spoiler is a NaVan wing spoiler, dunno if it's an mr2 one or not

you think they call it an se just because it's 5 lug? boo-hoo then.


heres the diffrence between base and se (besides options available for both cars)...taken from socal240sx...

5lug wheels, foglams, driver seat lumbar support, spoiler, seat pattern trim, 2 speed variable winsheild wipers, white faced guages, auto antena, cd player, security system.....

now out of that whole list the 5 lug wheels seem to be the only thing worth mentioning and thats not even that important, if important at all.

wow, you have better winshield wipers than base models...true the security system would be nice, but out of that whole list, the SE package just means youre slower than the base model.

its funny how you seem to brag about having an se, because its not that rare to have an se. i, on the otherhand, look only for base models because its lighter. plus the fact you drive slushbox just adds more weight.

automatic 240sx tranny isnt too heavy, I can lift it up and throw it on a table lol, plus the clutch and flywheel weigh more then a torque converter. A bigass auto like found in a v8 pickup is HEAVY! little honda trannis and shit I can throw up on my shoulder lol
edit

5 lug isn't that great lol, so what a 300zx brake rotor bolts right up, you can buy em from srswap predrilled for a 4 lug if you want and it will bolt right up too! that is about the ONLY benefit of the 5 lug... that it will fit a stock cheap junkyard 300zx rotor. You can find wheels in 4 lug pattern too, just search for them specifically you will find lots of wheels for that, in rwd offset patterns too, not just lil Honda 17x7 40 offset wheels lol.

in the SE models I don't even like the white-faced guages, doesn't really fit the interior of the car. One thing I would want in my car is power locks, and LSD would be nice.

you can buy kits for just about anything thanks to the Hot Rod and Custom scene. You can buy power door lock kits, window kits, door poppers, trunk poppers, hood poppers, whatever u want.....

and I kinda like doors without power locks in coupes. With all the new technology and shit doors lock just when you dont want them to, and its a lot easier to lock in your keys on accident. Happens quite a few times at mechanic shop cause we leave keys in car when its on the lift ... sometimes when u close some cars doors they will lock, which can be a PITA, must leave windows down but if you forget, time to get the slim jim or other tools and goto town for awhile lol.

5lug wheels, foglams, driver seat lumbar support, spoiler, seat pattern trim, 2 speed variable winsheild wipers, white faced guages, auto antena, cd player, security system.....




So Im looking at that list and I just have to laugh because half that stuff on my SE was broken...

One foglamp cover was broken off, my windsheild wiper fluid never squirted out, my auto antena didnt work, my cd player stopped working and my security system never worked. All with only 60K miles on the car. Yeaaa Nissan!

i got lsd, abs, rear stabilzer bar, and a subtly stiffer suspension than a base model for my se too...


i have to admit, almost all 240s have messed up squirters. but the rest of the stuff that was broken on your car was because of someone else, and not the car. 60k miles... pretty low! you never see that coming along.

Oh man you forgot LSD AND ABS! I'll take either of those over 5 lugs and 16" wheels. God knows I might still have my zenki if it had abs :icon16:

^ base model can get LSD and ABS also, those r just options, doesn't come standard with SE. Hmm my windshield wiper fluid squirts out fine. hey dayna did u race or drift a lot? maybe that's why ur car was littered with problems. My friend floors it all the time and his car has a shitload of probs at 40k miles, of course it is a pontiac which will definetly fuck up on you

Oh man you forgot LSD AND ABS! I'll take either of those over 5 lugs and 16" wheels. God knows I might still have my zenki if it had abs :icon16:


abs and lsd were OPTIONS, not standard. why pay extra for some clunky oem lsd when you can pay a little more and get a nice kaaz lsd. i personally cant stand abs...

and what do you mean by "a subtly stiffer suspension "?

Hey klohiq since u like the zenki style, and i like the kouki style, maybe we can swap front-ends if you do get a kouki lol. The spoiler is a NaVan wing spoiler, dunno if it's an mr2 one or not

It's not an mr2 spoiler from any generation or trim package that I know of. It's a decent looking spoiler though.

I plan some of the same mods...though I want a 5 speed and I want to turbo it (~260rwhp is my goal...they start out with ~130rwhp right?). Ingen intake and Apex'i dual n1s will probably be what I get also...Even though I would prefer a single tipped...but they look like coffee cans and sound shittier than the dual n1s. Other than that I'll do a few reliability/effieciency mods and definitely some stiffer suspension (TIEN flex if I can afford it) then leave the rest stock.

I will definitely trade you my from end for yours as long as yours is free of dings. I'm keeping my fRog lights though haha :P.

Anyone know how long it takes to convert between the zenki and kouki fronts? I might keep my kouki front and then swap them back and forth...so like the kouki would be for the winter and I'd still keep it in good shape...just not as good as the zenki. Just a thought since the hoods tend to get pitted and shit up here.

Otherwise publicenemy137 or ummm it starts with a D I think...he's from texas...he has a white zenki se and wants kouki also...we talked awhile ago about swapping too.

Good luck with your 240 :)

hey dayna did u race or drift a lot? maybe that's why ur car was littered with problems.


Nope, barely did either one of those. I'm pretty sure my car had all the problems it did because it sat for a while. If you look at the carfax report for my car, there was long periods where the mileage was pretty close.

abs and lsd were OPTIONS, not standard. why pay extra for some clunky oem lsd when you can pay a little more and get a nice kaaz lsd. i personally cant stand abs...

and what do you mean by "a subtly stiffer suspension "?


On the S14 you could only have LSD if you also had ABS...

SO if you want to buy a car with factory LSD (to get you by until you install your Kaaz) get one with ABS...

IF you do not want to actually use your abs, take out the ABS fuse.

my RX-7 has the rare option of ABS on it. (came equiped as a bloated pig with most available options) I have a toggle on it and turn it on and off as desided... want to go sideways, (click off) YAAAAAAAAY!!!!! want to drive in the rain ,not a good idea with 250hp @ 4PSI (the profec's high boost is set at 14.... you do the math) (click, on)
