Madk's 240sx

Post by xpinoyxmk »

Got this 240sx last christmas. 5 speed, now has 185,000 miles, original paint, dmax coils and resonated reinhard exhaust. Car is very clean. Only thing i dont like is the holes on the hatch from the wing and Super Hicas 4 wheel steering, but i have a non hicas subframe thats going in very soon. Oh and im in the process of doing the 5 lug, then i will start buying parts to turbo my rebuilt ka sitting at my house.

Oh and the Exhaust is for sale by the way. Would post in the for sale but post count too low. Just going to make a straight pipe or buy the reinhard straight pipe.

Also, this is with my 5 lug swap. Evo 9 front brembos and z32 bmc

Sure. The exhaust hangs pretty low by the resonater. Im sure i can fix it by shortening the hangers but to lazy to take it to my friend.

Right now, buy 5 lug hubs, front slotted evo rotors, 5 lug slotted rotors for rear, ss brake lines, and try to sell the exhaust to go straight pipe. Then after that, turbo my ka that i am currently rebuilding.

Has a deep tone to it. I think it sounds very nice. Was suppose to make a sound clip but never got around to it. Let me know if you guys what one.

Found out that the hicas models have a weird steering column too. It has this sensor under the steering wheel that will limit you to only 1 or 2 aftermarket hubs. Every other hub wont fit correctly. Thats what ive heard.

Not a cheap exhaust at all but if you think you have the money then let me know. I paid $725 shipped to my door. Think of what im selling it for.

Got the car in Dec. and had 180k mileage. Bought coils first around Feb., then got exhaust and driveshaft probably a month later. So about 2-3k on the exhaust. The resonater may have a scratch or two though. I'll take a look when i do the subframe swap next sunday.

I have some silencers for that. Dont worry. Switching to straight pipe bc im afraid when i go drifting, the resonator will catch something and rip the exhaust off. :?

Ordered my wheels today. MB Battles 17x9.5 +15 Offset. Going to put some 225/45 federals on them.

lol if you do it right ur exhaust isnt going to be the lowest point, and i doubt ur gonna be that dirty low, what suspension r u on?

and 225's on 9.5" rim? come on man, thats really stretched, and pointless, and looks terrible. if you want 225's, buy a 7 inch rim

Its pointless for your setup probably, and for drag specifically, but not for fitting low offset rims, or a drift setup with a lot of sidewall stiffness.

The exhaust hangs low and the streets are pretty horrible here in Tampa. Does anyone know where i could get some 304 stainless steel pipe from? Like 5 feet.

Sitting on dmax coils.

Car is not going to be used for drag. Daily driven and tracked on weekends when i have time.

225/45 on a 9.5 rim isnt that big of a stretch. Keep in mind that they will be tucked under rolled fenders and i will probably have to camber them in.

What about 235/40 front and 245/40 rear? I want a little stretch look.

to each his own, i run 245/50's on an 8 inch wide volk, but thats just my taste. i really do not like 240's for the fact that out of thousands and thousands of modded ones, I like about 5 of them, the stretched rubber hella camber poleyurethane look kills me.

i think 225 on a 9.5 is pretty stretched but thats just my opinion but i would run 245 in the back
