Nice ride man, my older brother is reeeally into JDM stuff and he's getting a 240sx (north american 180). Is the motor the KA or did you do the smart thing and swap in an SR20...wait it's a 180 it already has one. LUCKY. 240s over here have the pieace of shi*t KA engine and then you have to spend like 5 grand to swap in an SR20. Need a kit man. I envy all you guys who got to go to D1GP. Not here yet. I love my minis but drifting is pretty sweet. lol i know a bunch of the names of imports (easy) and then the chassis numbers LOL my brother could probably tell you all them. Lookikn good. don't get a reaslly big turbo or else you'll lose power at higher rpms...unless you want to have the : going along going along BAM HOLY SH*T power hit....paint it JDM. Get some wicked gauges too to go with you awesome steering wheel.

Thanks Thanks Yeah you guys got the KA24DE right? What a piece of C**p that is! However have you thought about sticking a turbo on that? It makes a fair amount of power and might save you a bob. My car is a KRPS13 so unfortunatly it does have hicas still. I do have a locking bar for that, but its one of those pain jobs that i know will take longer than expected so ive been putting it off.

2005, what a year... first ever D1GB exhibition match and i was there... soo excited about it all. hehe.

Recently ive not been updating this much since ive been keeping ontop of things on my website. Ive sold the gauges there and I have new ones along with a D1Spec Quick Release Boss. It brings the wheel nice and close.

Mine did come with an SR20DET as standard yes, and i wouldnt change it for the world.. well..... maybe an RB25DET..


I do have new gauges. Theyre alot better and have warning (visual and audiable) and peak functions. I will be updating my website shortly with all the new bits. so keep an eye out

Thanks for your turbo recommendation lol but i don't ahve one lol my brother is planning on getting one...and the KA is not in the books....the hicas has to be a pain to cahnge....y and RB25 when you could go RB26 and swap oil pans etc to get RWD? this feels weird gabbing about all the stuff i have learned about tuners...different than minis thats for sure. if i had a bike enigined mini i would twin turbo it and drift it. LOL. that would be a mess, short wheel base drifter lol i hate it when people say somethings drifting when its' just a FWD car sliding out of control....

[mighty_mini]

If your paying for an RB26.. sure

Twin turbos not really worth it on smaller 4 cyl engines, let alone bike engines... the biggest issue is the amount of gasses needed to sppol both turbo's let alone get decent positive pressure. Would be nice, but a decent single turbo would be just as good... probably why everyone converts the FD's when going for big power.


lol, yeah... i hate ass dragging.. people say it to me sometimes. Its just easier to nod and agree than argue the point.
