Daily drivers: MKIII N/A Supra Vs. Nissan 240SX

ravenmaster · 02-28-2008, 04:53 PM

I used to own a 1989 Nissan 240SX DOHC (hatchback) with the Super Hica system (makes the back wheels turn as well as the front) and I have to say that with the exception of my Supras I loved that car the most out of any cars I have ever owned, I am 6'4" tall and the supra and 240 have been the only cars I can fit into, as far as gas mileage the KA-24DE engine (stock for the 89-92 engines) actually did pretty well, I got about 25 MPG when I drove economically (which wasn't often) nice pick up and go and like I said, comfortable to drive.
Good investement

On another not so you gusy arent confused:
Nissan when it has more than 2 turbos indicates it as TT, whereas Toyota refers it to 2T i.e. Nissan KA-24DETT, Toyota 2JZ-GTE.

I don't know if you thought about it but the second gen RX-7's aren't all that bad. I had a 91 convetible with like 130k on it and it was a manual and i got like 25-30 mpg on average i mean yeah its a small car but that little 1.3 rotorary isn't all that bad. They of course have different trim's like the turbo II and n/a and if you find one stock they aren't all that expensive and also there are low to mid 90's bmw's that get considerablely better mpg and you can find them for relative cheap. I had a 94 325 is 5 speed with a 2.5 inline 6 that got almost 30 mph in light city traffic and mid 30's on the highway and i didn't exactly do the speed limit so there are 2 more options but then again I'm also looking at a 93 240 but my friend has been doing nothing since he got his 94 so idk nemore.

Wow ravenmaster..thanks for bringing this thread back from the dead, just in time to show off what i recently found and bought for cheap,and basically untouched by any punk racing kid who destroy cars and hacks them to pieces.
so far I installed AEM intake kit, headers and this weekend the cat will be removed and will install a muffler, not a canister type,but a muffler that resembles the stock...
