i used to have a zenki s14, 240's are great cars enjoy dude.

Me too, I had to sell it though. I hope to sell this soon and get another S14. Every time I drove it something would go wrong. Someone had done a really ****ty job on a SR swap, there were problems everywhere.

yeah dude like any other cars that are commonly modded you're better off starting from scratch with a clean stock chassis, not always the cheapest, easiest to find but always less of a headache, it's like everyone becomes a wiring specialist when they decide to swap their motor. i've seen more rat's nests in these things than i care to remember. ifxcc.com is a good forum of dudes located in the tri-state area with lots of 240 knowledge, check them out if you're in the area, good luck with your search dude

Legit build dude.

You should try getting an Infinity J30 differential to liven things up for nearly no money at all.

The J30 diff is a pain in the *** to do. It's hard to tie down axles for it, plus the modifications to the DS and input flange not worth it IMO. If I were going to go through the trouble of a VLSD install it would be the Q45, longer FD + five lug + VLSD = Yes please

Nice.

I def. agree on the 5 lug.

One of my good friends is building an s13 hatch at the moment.

I helped him swap it to 5 lug and man that was a piece of cake. I only wish it was that easy when I did it to my car. lol

If only it were easier on our Hondas lol. Nissan made the back end of the early-mid 90's Q45 nearly identical to the S13. The whole thing swaps over with one unusual part, a Z32 passenger side axle. That may be in the works, given time.

s13 ftw!!! I can't wait to start modding mine. for now it has to stay my reliable dd until I work out all the little issues with my accord. doesn't stop me from sliding around on some back roads though :thumbsup:
