New to 240's

[jaracinghatch]

like it said i am new to them. i have a EF civic with a jdm b16, but now i want something that could be a little more fun. i found a 91 240 fastback for $950, body is a little rough has alot of miles but that is what i like, a fixer uper....lol. the only problem really is the sunroof. it is a manual one. the rubber seal around it is gone. how do i go about fixing that? other little things that is wrong with it is warped rotors in front, busted struts. so another question is what is a good and fairly cheap set of coilovers? thanks in advance for the help. hopefully i will be getting it in the next couple of weeks. so pics will come soon

The rubber seal up top where where sunroof is... I don't believe Nissan sells that anymore, and if they do, it'll cost you around $60 or something like that.

I bought mine a long time ago.

As for coilovers, get yourself a set of Stance GR+. Save up the money for it, you won't regret it.

thanx man, i have heard alot about those stance coilovers. they run about 1200 right? i am going to have to get a cheap replacement for the struts for the time being though and maybe a lowering spring. any suggestions? i guess i will have to figure out something for the sunroof, you think maybe i can go to a junkyard and pick up what i need for the sunroof?

[SoSideways]

The sunroof situation is weird, because the only thing you can hope for is that, there's somebody's sunroof out there with the rubber in better shape than your's, and that's about it.

I fucked up my install, so it doesn't sit flush, but I can just easily take it off and redo it. Then again, it would be next to impossible to get the silicone off of the inside of the rubber seal, so unless I find something to dissolve that silicone, I'm SOL.

As for Stance, yes, their valving is decent, and is actually better than the D2 or K-Sport coilovers out there.

BC Racing's coilovers are decent too from what I've heard, but to be honest, if I had to do it again, I'd go Koni 8610s all around with GC coilover kits, and Veilside180sx's housings, and probably Tein camber plates all around. That will run me a little more, but the performance I'll get out of the shocks would be much better than any JDM coilovers out there.

yea the coupe come with electic sunroof but they just roll back. they dont have the JDM tilt like the hatchs

[jaracinghatch]

thanx for the good info guys, went and put my deposit on the car today, so in the next couple of weeks i will be able to show you my new piece......lol

[jaracinghatch]

are god speed products any good????

[SoSideways]

Godspeed stuff are junk.

Unless you just want some cheap POS parts just for the sake of being able to say you have it, don't go near it.

If you want cheap coilovers, at the least, get some Megans.

If you know someone near you that have a 240 and have Megan coilovers, or Stance, ask them for a ride to see what it's like first.

[jaracinghatch]

yeah there is no one around here that i know that has a 240, but thanx for the info on god speed

Ksports are all right.........................for the money.

[jaracinghatch]

i've rode in cars with Ksports, just not a 240, i have been looking at the megan's just for right now, what is a good spring setup? the 12/10 or the 8/6? i want it stiff but not breakback stiff. most of the coilovers i see are 8/6.

[SoSideways]

The Megans have shitty valving.

The 8/6 will feel stiff for you. The 12/10 is straight up bounce city.

Way under damped.

Megans cost like $800 or $900 nowadays, I haven't checked because I don't care about them anymore, but if you saved up another couple hundred bucks, there's your brand new Stance GR+ coilovers.

[jaracinghatch]

yeah you right, i want to get my suspension tight first then i will worry about everything else. what about all the other suspension parts, tie rods, LCA's, etc...
what do you recommend for that

also, what is a good rim setup with a staggered fitment, right now it has the stock chrome rims with some big tires....lol.

sorry for all the questions, but i like to have things planned out so i know which way to go. plus i am a noob to these

[Norrek4040]
