A sunny Nissan 240SX

Even though this car dates back to 1989 it does not look dated at all, if fact there are some car manufacturers who would mind it leaving their factory floor right now. The 240SX by Nissan is clearly a classic sports coupe and that is before it has been rebuilt to these very high standards.

Sometimes you have to think that that these cars are hybrids using parts from other cars, but there is nothing new about that, even some of the manufacturers of some cars use the parts from other makes.

The main thing about this car is the engine swap, no longer does it carry the standard power plant, and this has a punchy straight six three litre Toyota 2JZ GTE engine. Now this is something that you do not associate the 240SX, but what that does mean is that this car is capable of generating well over 600 hp and that has to be taken seriously.

MimoUSA Headers (Nissan | 240SX | 89-90)

Product Description

Your factory exhaust manifold also known as “headers” is designed only in part for efficiency and power. As a result, maximum exhaust flow (power) is not achieved using factory headers, regardless of other performance exhaust modifications. To maximize flow and power, a better design is required.

Maximize Flow to Maximize Power

MimoUSA headers increase flow and power by using larger diameter tubing and an equal length design, meaning all pipes leading to the collectors are the same length. This design means that as each cylinder fires, the exhaust gas pulse released arrives at the collector following the previous pulse in perfect synchronization, creating a perfect, uninterrupted exhaust gas flow. This smooth flow means MORE flow and more power.

Dyno tested and proven

Direct bolt-on without modification

T-304 stainless steel mandrel bend for ultra fast flow

CNC machine flanges with TIG and MIG welded construction

Utilizes factory 02 sensor position

Specifications:

Flange is 3/8 thick

Bolts from the block to the motor

Primary tubes are 1 1/8

Diameter of end tube (bolts to CAT converter) 2 on older cars

Engine: KA24

Tri-Y Design

TC SPORTLINE 89-94 NISSAN 240SX S13 4 LUG TO 5 LUG WHEEL HUB ADAPTERs

Product Features

ONE FULL CONVERSION KIT (2 FRONT & 2 REAR)

CONVERT FROM 4 LUG HUB INTO 5 LUG BOLT PATTERN

Product Description

Four Lug bolt pattern wheel hubs are usually for front wheel drive vehicles, therefore, many high end wheel companies only make stagger offset wheels in 5 lug bolt patterns. For 89-94 Nissan 240SX owners, in order to fit some of the wheels they have to buy special adapter-type spacers or locate some JDM conversion parts in order to change their bolt pattern to the 5 lug spec. Using spacer adapters will take away fender clearance so people will be forced to use smaller wheels than they desired. Used JDM parts that could cost a whole lot more and the condition of the parts might not be ideal. TC Sportline has developed a five lug hub assembly conversion kit that will allow S13 owners to convert their entire hub assembly from four lug to 5-lug bolt pattern. The conversion process is made much easier with the TCS hub kit and no major modifications are needed. The front hub assemblies also included high grade bearings for easy installation. The stock brake callipers can be retained after the conversion and because it is not the cheap spacer type conversion kit, S13 owners could use the biggest and widest wheels possible. It is also a safer option when building race/drift cars. This will enable 240SX owners to fit more variety of wheels in the desired offsets onto their vehicles. After the conversion, stock brake callipers can be retained or they could upgrade to a bigger brake kit. The kit comes with all four hub assemblies for the front and rear axles. Specially designed hubs will also allow you to switch back to the 4-lug pattern by simply remove and reconfigure the wheel studs.
