say what?

where can i find info on all the diff types of engines cuz wen ppl talk bout ca dis and ka dat i get lost

normally i'd say the faq but i don't even know where it is anymore..

all the engines are coded (obviously)
the first two letters are the series, the next two are numbers (represent displcement - 20=2.0L), then there's either 'de' or 'e' or 'det' or 'dett' or whatever. the 'e' means electronic fuel injection. the 'd' represents dual overhead cams and the 't' means turbo or 'tt' twin turbo

so there's the engines:

ca18det, found in euope, japan and australia, the sr20det found in japan, europe and australia, and the ka24e and ka24de found in north america. all these engines belong to the s13 and s14 chassis. they're all relatively easily interchangeable.

the vg30dett is the twin turbo engine found in the 300zx. then there's vg30de which is the non turbo 300zx.

the rb series engines are all from skylines (gts, gtr, gts-t...) they're all inline 6 engines. the rb20det, rb25det and the rb26dett. the first two are good engines but the infamous skyline gtr has the rb26dett. put 2 and 2 together and you get an inline 6 cylinder 2.6L twin turbo monster. the gtr32, 33 and 34 are only year distinctions.

thats the basics of the engines. there are many variations of these engines (sr20de non turbo) and even more types (vk45de/vq45de) which are v8 engines in the nissan trucks. but i've only seen one reputable project in the last 2 years so don't worry so much about them.

this is the absolute basic knowledge you'll need. there are other things you could learn about them (sr20det is aluminum, ka24de is iron) that to me isn't very relevant but to others it is..

the faq is inside the stickies at the top you have to go to the "check here for infor/warnings/updates" and its in there.

thanks man. yeah, so jdmdude, check out the faq. you don't need to read everything, just look for the engine codes

no i think he does need to read everything.

me too

:1:

i don't know what you guys think but there's a hell of a lot of bs in that thread. like dead links to places you can get an sr or front clip or whatever.. there's shit he probably shouldn't read cause it'll mislead him or give him the wrong info.. we might need to refurbish it a little

fanatic he is right can u update the FAQ igf you ever have any freetime and we can help you add new links and what not

and vq's are v6's.

I think the whole sticky and faq on this forum sucks, its like 50 pages of run around that could have useful information put on 2 pages, plus u gotta click here click there, might as well just delete that entire thing and start letting people talk on this forum. I hate when a forum just says read the faq and they never talk about anything, who cares if its been said 100 times in 5 years, if thats how your going to run things pretty soon you won't have anything to talk about that involves 240sx's. Each individual person posts a question to try to fill their own personal needs, why not just take the time to tell them something u think is so simple so they get helped the best they can, or is being constructive here looked down upon.

We don't mind answering questions, but when it's some of the most basic questions that are asked repeatedly, it gets old.

So, we direct new folks to the FAQs, that's how things are run here. Don't like it, start your own forum.

:owned:

good looks guys

:owned:


hmmm now was that nessecary? I didn't put one when you got completely OUTCLASSED when talking about transmissions....

please don't go around after all my posts posting petty little kid shit just to be contradictory. I'm asking you nicely once.

or else what...youll ban him?
use the power of your 29 posts and back teh fuck down.
my gaydar is going full blast with your e-thuggin around here

yea he obviously hasnt ownd a 240 for that long.........the shit gets old bro. People can apply themselves to search. Its two letters "CA" and 'KA". Its not hard to find it. And there is plenty to talk about with this car other than the broad questions like that. ITs a 240....there is always problems. Problems create questions. Then a forum will discuss.

or else what...youll ban him?
use the power of your 29 posts and back teh fuck down.
my gaydar is going full blast with your e-thuggin around here


oh contraire my boy, please stop your e-thuggin..... "back teh fuck down" yeah ok

your being a dickhead to someone when your trying to attack them for doing the same thing, He was a dick to me, so I tried as best I could to ask him nicely to stop, isn't that the proper civilized thing to do? I mean WTF, if you can't ask someone in a somewhat nice manner to try to stop being an ass, what else can you do? Slideways, just jumping in and posting your nonsense attacks was more unnessecary then his owned flag, as far as Im concerned both of you are dickheads, what do I need a moderator tag to observe that? Most mods look the other way when their buddies are in violation of the rules anyhow so what can you do? The mods act like they own this board, but in reality all they are is volunteers helping out the community, yet most of them have the sole purpose of diminishing the community, funny isn't it? The Ban option should be used very little, it should be a last ditch effort, use it to ban some spammer or the like, not to end an argument. Both sides of an argument are both right and wrong in their own way, to use that tool is hurting the community from facts and worthwhile opinions that others might find helpful. The best thing about a forum is to debate opinions with other people, if you just wanted to read facts you would stick to webpages and not visit a forum. I am a "moderator" at other places and some of the moderating that goes on here would not last one second there. I might have 28 posts with this user name on this forum, why would that make me less experienced or knowledgable then you? surely 1500 posts is nothing to brag about slideways...... in fact it is sort of weak if thats all you have and this is the only Nissan forum you post regularily in...... don't judge a book by its cover, wait til you read the whole thing.

slideways, your the only one here swearing and using the F word directly at another member, your the only person here "E-thugging" and you accusing someone else of that just shows how one sided, arrogant, and young you are. Come on swear at me some more, I know you don't have anything intelligent to say that holds any water so just resort to saying fuck you to people and using chat room lingo on them, thats the ticket there.

are you fucking serious? that mofuka asked "Where can i read about all the diff. engines and stuff".....

FAQ!!! DUH!!! why are you bitchin?

We don't mind answering questions, but when it's some of the most basic questions that are asked repeatedly, it gets old.

So, we direct new folks to the FAQs, that's how things are run here. Don't like it, start your own forum.

Dude, that's what he said, he was agreeing with you.

But we're not going to get people to read the FAQ section if it's unorganized and unkept. It makes the forum look outdated and unused.

god vortec now im gonna attack you because your an idiot.
what i said wasnt ethuggin because i was just saying you cant ban him even though your talkin like "ooo im gonna give him one chance". what happens then. you go over to his house and beat his ass? hmmm. entire definition of ethug is what you did. and your jumping on a guy with over 2000 posts here when you have only 29. im sorry but until you get that many posts or until you get to be a mod, dont tell anyone they have 1 more chance. and dont even start with me. all i did was try and defuse a bitchathon, but your so immature and stupid that you thought i was attacking you? just leave now before you get banned. me or terminal have more swing on mods here than some newbie who thinks he can tell people what to do or else hell do 'something'. or just be mad at the world. were all against you.

P.S. if u added up all my 240sx and Nissan forum posts it is way over 5,000 posts

nice 1200 posts you got there newbie

hell maybe even 3 or 4 thousand of all those posts occured here?

BTW ur 240sx's look like they came from a junkyard

why don't u sell them for 50 bucks and buy a Focus so you can hang out with all the other stupid young high school boys

guys just lay off it
its useless to get pissed at someone on a forum

alright girls. we can all find things wrong with eachother, no need to point them out. the guy wanted to find info, we told him the FAQ. he'll figure it out from there. next thread.

lol? 35 = 5000? who the fuck cares if you have 10,000 posts on zilvia. that gives you no authority here. go back to zilvia and tell all your emo fanboys about me so they can all take a turn massaging your nutsack telling you that your cool and right.

hmmmm. insulting my cars. you know nothing about them anyways so that really doesnt do anything. im selling the blue one because its a beater and the red one is a project car. its gonna be way tighter than anything youll be rolling when im done. high school my ass. dont mess with pros son. youll get burnt

LOL YA LOOKS LIKE IT CAME FROM A JUNKYARD

especially how it has no engine in it (the red one) thats why the front looks so high. dumbass.

thats how my front looks w/ the sr in it. damn i need some coilovers quick

like I said, maybe even 3 or 4 thousand of my Nissan posts are accumulated from this board so Im not a noob..........

and your little silvia project will get burned hard by my rx-7... I'd almost be willing to prove it to you in person but you will probably take 5 years to make it even somewhat fast.

seriously your a pro now?
wow you got 1 shitbox rusty nissan you drive in the snow and a 240sx without a motor in it... wow you must have mucho experience. I better not tell you about my other cars and previous ones then LOL. You own me so bad with your shitbox without a motor I have to cry for a second... ok done... Your a pro with your 2 beaters, you will smoke me even though I have actually been in the professional car business for about 15 years. Lets all bow down to the great slideways

I know all about your cars son, I've been here waaaaaaaaaay longer then you have. Once again your just assuming shit and I'm truly seeing how stupid you are now. Keep on it, this is good entertainment.

holy cow, people cease to amaze me. You've been in the car business for 15 years now? All that handling of tools has turned you into one? Wait, so that would make you in your upper 20's low 30's?? Yet you conduct yourself as a what you call a "highschool" person?????? All these posts you make condradict your own logic in every way and yet you still dont see it. And explain what a professional car is? Is it like a stock car? Or some super cool un riced oem ls1 mazda? Rx-7's are rice because they're used in drifting. All drifting is rice, because they have kits that dont do anything and there painted flashy, and some make 600+hp, which is rice btw. Oh well who cares. Oh and since your so smart, can you plz tell me how to turn a ho into a housewife??? Thats the best of both worlds.

man that guy was a boon face. i think he owned himself harder than we did. but we still did pretty good.

Ha... you know, I thought you were just a dick... till you started spouting off that you had thousands of posts. Then I decided to do a little thing called an IP check.

Welcome back to AF...

Oh and since your so smart, can you plz tell me how to turn a ho into a housewife??? Thats the best of both worlds.


cant do that, he dosent have the exp! Hes still in highschool! :grinno:

Ahhhh, ill miss him :frown:






































wait...:eek7: no I wont! :evillol:

the funny fucking thing is i just came in here to type that it had to be sr20detpower........the other day i had noticed he wasnt posting anymore.....then i remember this prick saying transmissions....and then thought "v8 into rx-7" and was like, he got banned and now came back.

lol funny stuff. Good call redneck.

man that guy was a boon face. i think he owned himself harder than we did. but we still did pretty good.


bwhahahahaahah a boon face reference. Classic classic. And yea, he tried to make fun of us in each post, but he did what he was preaching not to do and then would fight about it.... Shit we all could of rode the bench and still won. He was fighting himself. He hates life for some reason. Thats a personal problem. Must not of got that prom date or something. Seriously, who makes a return after getting banned?? I mean does an internet forum consume you that much? Lol he thought he was neo or someshit and was going to come back and take over cyber space to show the forum a lesson!!!! He is the one...according to him and himself only. I mean he probably does know some shit, but Christ just calm down......

hahahah, yeah. I owned him with tranny knowlage...and his own words...and hes all "YOUR WRONG!"

TOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLKKLKLKLLLLLL!!!!

AHAHA are you serious?!! MAAAAAAAAAN WHAT A LOSER!!!

oh my god i am shocked. i seriously did not see that coming! that is the saddest thing i have ever seen. i honestly do not believe that i hope it was someone else posting on his computer or from his house or SOMETHING.. that is beyond sad. that is so far beyond sad.
-sad-














































































-this far down below---> SR20DETpower-

lol sr20detpower I figured

I was waiting for him to get back into that whole auto transmissions are better argument, then tell him to look at my sig. My friend lost control of the truck because the auto tranny decided to shift to 3rd mid-corner.

he probably just gets a kick about pissing people off
why else would he bother coming back lol

i shouldve known. sorry for dragging that out redneck. seriously next time he comes back ill be smarter about it. i just cant stand people like him. some 30 year old guy living in his parents basement working at jiffy lube as a tranny oil changer, trying to impress all the kids on AF...

mehhh, it's no biggie.

It takes about 3 minutes to ban somebody from start to finish... I'm not that busy in life.. I can always squeeze 3 minutes in. ;)

Another one bites the dust :)

Drama..wow...good one dough!
