What is the appeal of a 240sx?

It's the GT86/BRZ of it's time.

Its a good tuning platform.
Theres many different engine swap possibilities.
Lots of new suspension parts are still made for s chassis.
They are easy to work on.

Nobody wants a stock 240sx.
Only eurofags leave their cars stock.

>>17206089
It's the the long wheelbase tuner car of Japan. Bigger than a Miata, but still small and has assloads of aftermarket.

>Nobody wants a stock 240sx.
I think they look fine as-is, aftermarket wheels are one of the few positive modifications one could make IMO

>>17206253
So what your saying is you dont want a stock 240sx either.

>>17206253
I'm pretty sure he's talking about suspension, chassis, and engine mawdz. 100% agree on the wheels, 90s cars are visually cursed by their stock wheels usually.

They used to be REALLLLY cheap. Therfore, it created a huge following, and that made it have large aftermarket aftermarket support. They also have semi-decent suspension geometry and an engine bay big enough to fit anything you want in there, so it makes a great tuning platform. Along with all those, the popularity of drifting made the car very valuable because it happens to be good at that as well.

>Cheap
>Aftermarket is huge
>90's tuner/drift car appeal
>RWD

Assuming you don't get one that's beat to shit, even the KE engines have a pretty wide berth of tuning opportunities.

no because the SR doesn't explode at 500 hp, unlike the 302

>>17206436
240SXs don't come with SR20s. I can see the analogy, both used to be fairly cheap, and while far from good stock, could be made fairly good for fairly cheap. 240SX has a better chassis to start with, Fox has a better engine to start with. Prior to the 2010s, 350+ hp was pretty damn fast, and that was what the 302 was relatively cheaply capable of doing, although once you pass 300 wheel you are putting the trans at risk and you will need to have reinforced the torque boxes and connected the front and rear subframes.

>>17206436
Damn near every sr20 I see pushed pass 400 whp explodes.

>>17206461
probably because they had stock internals
>>17206447
the 302 was fucking trash my dude

>>17206461
Technically you can get either past 400 or 500, but there's not much point because you'll have to brace the 302 or some shit like that, and the SR is going to be nothing for 85% of its rev range before boost kicks in. At that point you should be moving to an LSx engine, aluminum or iron block, for the fox and whatever the hell you want in the 240.
>>17206472
For a cheap go-fast car, it's not half-bad considering its age. Stock it was extremely choked, but if you want to make decent power cheap you go to a junkyard and rip the heads/intake manifold off of a mid-90s Exploder, rebuild the heads to handle the higher RPM of the Mustang motor, put an exhaust system that actually breathes on it, and if you're feeling fancy update the cam with something like even a cheap letter cam. It's by no means the lightest, nor most advanced, nor most powerful motor, but it gets the job done of putting your ass far back into your seat on a budget.
