No, they don't. Though swap is easy enough. 240s had the KA24DE engines. Originally in the s13 line it was because the Naturally aspirated KA was virtually on par with CA18, and since premium petrol was not very common, Nissan worried that detonation would have been a real issue in California and Florida, two of their main target demographics. That and part interchangability made it a decision to develop the KA... which of course by the time SR20 came out and s14s, it was too late to go back.

Silly yanks, always preferred luxury and no fuel economy over FI.

Should be the same.

JDM / ADM = SR20DET

USDM = KA24DE

Yup, no 240sx came out with a turbocharged engine, no SRs, CA18s, or anything else besides the KA series. Bringing in SR20s to swap in was probably the snowball that propelled the american tuner scene (yuck, can't even say that). 240s didn't see the s15 chassis either.

Ya i dunno. the FDs, and Supra mrk IVs were all here, but just never had a big marketing push or support scene. It was always Mustangs and 'vettes. Disgusting really..

That said, i'm glad in Canada we atleast have the 15 year rule, so skylines, silvias etc have been pretty steady for 5-6 years now. In some ways it worked against us though too.

Population of young aspiring tuners and road warriors suddenly having access to affordable turbocharged vehicles (modded I might add) = lots of problems on the roads and accidents... getting the attention of lot of government regulatory offices.

True that does suck kind of like the issues we are having over here where every import driver is an ultimate hoon in the eyes of media/public/police. Makes owning these cars harder and harder as a everyday driver which is really unfortunate.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Unless there's something particular about the Greddy manifold's injector holes that I'm not aware of, those injetcors look to be totally wrong. They would absolutely want to be spaced up to get those long snouts out of the runner. Which, I think, is not usually the way that that problem is solved. I think the problem is solved by using the correct injectors, which would be much more like what Andrew posted.

      Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...

      I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
