Birmingham racing so true. But the thought of her schooling some of them makes me smile. I figure if I can keep her around the car scene that she'll take interest in it. But I certainly can't force her. Let's hope I'm lucky. The main thing my wife and I agreed on was that she will help me build her first car. That way even if she doesn't get into cars, she'll at least have more respect for her car than most. Gotta keep that family tradition.

that is literally the cleanest interior i have ever seen in an s14. Knowing how hard it is to keep a clean interior like that....props

Eddie Gonzalez Well yeah, but I'd say that many people who drift are also fans of the S chassis aside from it's drifting potential. He has a point, these are getting rarer and rarer, and they are honestly pretty outdated as a drift chassis at this point. Notice the ratio of S chassis to other chassis is much higher in amatuer than competitive drifting. Everyone knows that drifting destroys cars. It just does. Why not destroy something less valuable, with more parts, that will actually be a better performance value per dollar, like a Z33? If every single Z33 got smashed into a wall and then a cube I'd be fine. They're cancerous and the only enjoyment I've gotten out of one is beating the hell out of it.

I like the increased footage of inside the car & walkaround outside. Nice to actually see the cars vs just the drive.

The cleanest 240 with a KA that I've ever seen. Awesome car man!

Dam that is one of the nicest, cleanest custom cars I have seen in a long time. Taste, power, a lot of sensibleness (if that is a word) seems to have gone into his build. Absolutely awesome car.

Zack every one take you put out gets better and better. I personally can tell your confidence is rising and it shows. Keep at it and you'll do quite well. As for all these little boys and girls that have nothing nice to say get over yourselves. Props to the whole smoking tire crew you guys all do a great job at making automotive journalism interesting and fun.

His dad has the right idea. Doing it right nice motor

The flex fuel badge is a nice touch, haha. What a clean s14 though. It has a great stance to it.

Wow, rare to see clean 240's. I made a video regarding a clean 240x where the owner will be boosting the KA as well. Awesome!

I love that 240! VERY well executed!

I have a lot of respect for this kid -- taking better care and consideration for his car and modifications than many people twice his age. The interior and underhood condition highlight just how well he has done. Kudos to Dad for being a good mentor and inspiring a healthy method to the habit of cars and modification.

Great One Take. I love this car. I have always admired the 240SX. I remember riding in a friend's stock 240 in the very early 90's in college. Bone stock, yet fun. Very nice, responsible young man. Beautiful car. I'm really enjoying the first two Zach videos I have watched tonight. Nothing against Matt whatsoever. Keep doing what you're doing guys.

I'm digging the videos with Zack. Seems pretty knowledgeable and genuine.

Thanks everyone for watching! That coil overs were brand new during this drive so I guess they were set a little to soft. Lol They've since been set firmer to fix the rubbing issue. - @_tomas.a_

Always liked these. Clean car and engine bay. Would never consider one over a C4 but great review. Good choice on the e46 m3. No comparison there.

Clean!

The best part of this thing is that it’s not obnoxiously loud

NOW YOU'VE GOT MY ATTENTION

He described the kouki perfectly, the feel the hood slope everything. Just sold mine unfortunately but I'll get another in a few years like I always do 😉✌

A bit slammed for my taste, but that is a beautiful example of the 240SX. Love the cleanliness and simplicity of the engine compartment. Yay TST for exhibiting another fun build!

Super clean! Awesome car!

nice car always been a s14 fan since i was younger

Looks CLEAN AF, absolutely love the look, the stance, and it also goes like stink

I don't know a whole lot about 240s because it's probably one of the only vehicles I have never owned (along with any VWs), but that turbo kit really does look fairly OEM besides the intercooler piping. It's good to hear that you built the engine to remedy the weak points that you encountered with your first turbo kit (which is something that we have all lived and learned from), and it's also good to hear that you went with a Nissan supplied turbo rather than an aftermarket larger turbo, and that adds to the response and originality of the chassis and engine. You have a well-built beautiful build and anyone that says otherwise is an asshat hater and doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Looks great brother! I love it.

word of advice to the owner, switch to the Z32 break booster. I owned a z32 for 7 years and it had the greatest feeling breaks I've ever felt in a car. Also the ABS in that car was amazing, saved my ass from many retarted drivers.

Nicely done

Extra clean!

That kids hand hitting the arm rest on the door 25 times pisses me off. Haha great video guys! Keep it up.

I really like the car and for the owner's age it is/was well done, I'd just have it raised up ever so much so it doesn't rub under serious compression.

Clean af

Also, I'm sorry, but I didnt hear which engine that turbo came from but being from a turbo Nissan, it's most likely a T28 based turbo, it makes the KA so much more responsive and powerful down low and that is where you spend most of your time on the street. I built my forged turbo LSVTEC that's in my EK Honda Civic coupe with a large Turbonetics turbo that's made for top end and my turbo doesn't really spool until right after VTEC crossover because of the increased lift and exhaust pulse, so it doesn't have much low end torque, but once the turbo hits full boost it pulls so hard to redline that it scares me sometimes. I made 508 whp so far on fairly low boost, but the engine is built to make around 600 whp.

Very clean s14

I want to be his dad when my son grows up. Awesome vid!

that engine bay is CLEAN

Love it Zach. I also have wanted a 240 for a long time, but ended up going with a M3 for the same reasons. Now I have a S2000 as a second car that I would not want to trade for a 240, but have no room for another car. I still want one but agree the 240 would need to be a 3rd car...

You can cook an egg in his engine bay. Great job dad.

Not normally a fan of s14’s but this guy has done his right. And owning the car since he was 13 is a pretty damn good story

Awesome car

Look! A 240sx with a built KA that actually sounds and looks healthy! What a unicorn.

I'd personally take a built KA over a built SR any day. More displacement and parts are way easier to find. I'd personally tune on a proper ems with closed loop wideband though. Nice build. I remember my 240 and I miss the damn thing...

@StatusQuo209

6 жыл бұрын

Tim B yup. Also the Piston oil squirters help alot keeping the Piston cool. There is a theory floating online that Nissan intended the KA to be turbocharged (hence the Piston oil squirters) Inline+long stroke= great spool and easy maintence when needed.

Nice bar.

Very nice build 👍🏽 engine bay looks sick. I don’t see an inner cooler, any issues with overheating?

Need to see more overfenders molded in, looks cleaner

My father won't let me even buy a cheap Miata... Super jealous of this build! Everything's done just right.

Zack you need to buy one man. I could tell you loved the way that car felt. Don’t let a swapped 240sx scare you away. If the owner has done a good job on the swap without any big turbos or crazy boost settings then it should be pretty reliable. Ive daily driven my sr20det 240 for 5yrs with just General maintenance and stock psi levels. Better yet buy a RHD one from in importer. Just don’t get the ca18det motor 😝

How did he get that s15 steering wheel to fit ?! I want one for mines

I would love it if I got to buy my car that soon.

I had a 95 s14 man it was the most fun car I’ve owned even I never got to properly build mine I’ve been searching for another but sadly people overprice them

Does anyone know the color name/ make of the wrap?

I love KAs.. lol I might have missed it.. But what manifold is that?? Man the way he did it makes it look like it came turbo from the factory. Super clean

I’m not into the s14’s but damn his makes me want to buy one

I've always wondered why would you swap a 2.4 DOHC w/piston oil sprayers with a 2.0 DOHC just bc of a little turbo. I get the whole swap vs build thing but 2.4 is always better than 2.0 imo. Now with a DSM.....yeah keep the 4g63t.

I have a 98 240 SE that’s pretty much all original (except for catback) with ABS, LSD and no sun roof. I asked Matt if he wanted to review it about a year ago but he said he’s pretty much done reviewing cars unless it’s something very unique and not stock. It’s not the best canyon car due to the stock suspension (and low power) but I have fun taking it out to the twisties once in a while. Even took it to Vegas last October for the Project Car Challenge with Rob, Matt, Justin Bell, thatdudeinblue, tommyfyeah and others. Nice and clean example of the potential of these cars in this video. If anyone wants to check out the pics of my car, my IG is sliknik415. Cheers!
