looking into nissan

[Celica Kid]

ok so i read through all six pages of the faq things and the other things that you urged newbies to the nissan world to read and i honestly you didnt answer any of my basic questions....so i am going to go ahead and ask them and i hope i dont get bitched at for it....so for the 240 sx do they all come na here in america>> and if so do they all use the ka engine>> that is just my first question. i will ask more after i continue searching this forum...

I hope you have a flame retardant nomex suit because there is going to be some of that going on by some other members when they see this but since this is all really basic stuff that is taken for granted, hence not in the FAQ, and I'm not that kind of guy so...



All North American 240s are NAs.

All had the KA

89-90 had the single cam, 12 vavle KA24E

91-98 had the dual cam, 16 vavle KA24DE

If you have more questions about the basics of 240SXs, try going to www.edmunds.com or any of the 240 fan sites like www.240sx.org for more info. This board is geared more towards maintence issues and performance upgrades but I would like to think that people come here just to learn about these great cars.

"In the USA the 240SX came as the following:
- S13 chassis - 1989-1994 There was a coupe and a hatchback version. There was also a limited edition convertable version. When going for the S13, most people go for the 89-93 because the 94 was available strictly as a convertable with an auto tranny. From 1989-1990 the coupe and the fastback both came with the KA24E. That's a single cam motor that puts out 140 HP and 160 lb-ft of torque. From 1991 and up it came with the KA24DE, a dual cam motor that puts out 155 HP and 160 lb-ft of torque. The S13 was also available with HICAS which is a 4 wheel steering system. Some people like it a lot and some hate it. If you plan on drifting, you don't want HICAS.

- S14 chassis - 1995-1998 Here it was available only as a coupe but got a different body styling. There are 2 different S14's though. From 1995-1996 the S14 came with oval headlights. From 1997-1998 the headlights were changed to a slanted, or "shark eye" style. That was the only difference between the 2 S14's. The S14 came with the KA24DE. "

Everything is stated there...if it had turbo it would say ka24det like an sr20det...t standing for turbo. Also he gave what engines came with them....and if there were others he would have listed them but there isn't....
