The Japanese version of this car is in GT3. It's a ~220 HP turbocharged car called the S14 Silvia (or 200SX in other markets). The car in the game is the J-Spec 220 HP, but was relabeled as 240SX during the 'Americanization', even though the US never saw the 220 HP version. Bummer...
It's back on the road in April, and I have my first batch of mods planned for soon after. Injen cold-air intake, GReddy header, and A'pexi N1-Dual Exhaust (my avatar!). Later mods will include adjustable coil-overs and other suspension tweaks, better wheels & tires, a short-shifter & clutch, and maybe (after the warranty dies) a turbo kit. Ahh, rear wheel drive... 😈
Winnipeg, that's a good one. You know as well as I do that we have four seasons in Canada: almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction. Nice try, though!

almost winter, winter, still that ****in winter, construction and ontarians in the wrong lane, 10kph slower than every body else... That's more like it!
Since the last pics, I've made a few little changes. Tint, lip spoiler, new tires, waxed and shined. I'll be doing suspension this spring, I've got H&R springs, waiting for GAB shocks from Stillen and strut & sway bars, both on order.
Yes, the S15's are very nice, were they available in NZ? We never got them here. Mine was the last year available in North America. And you'd like it just fine if you drove it, my friend...
When we Canadians get bored during the winter, we go outside the igloo and have snowball fights or we play hockey. Or I can drive a half-hour to the US border, where all the snow magically disappears. I blurred my plate because you don't need to see it, and you never know where a posted pic will end up...
Originally posted by TVRKing Have you considered a supercharger?
Actually, I belong to several 240 forums, and I am not aware of anyone with a supercharged 240SX. One US company has been developing a SC kit, but it's been a loooong time, and I doubt it'll ever be finished. There are about five turbo kits available, and one of those may be in the distant future, but not until the warranty is long dead... 😈

Actually, the SR20DET is already turbocharged, that's what the 'T' stands for. That's a beautiful red-top PunkRock, but I personally think the SR hype is getting carried away. The KA is plenty tough, and in the end, a turbo 2.4L has more potential than a turbo 2.0L.

but you need to beef up the KA a lot more than the SR20 to resist these kind of power... the KA is not a very strong engine (not that it's weak) when compared to the SR20...

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you here, PR. The KA's internals, iron block, and drivetrain will handle 400+ HP with NO modification. It's the SR's aluminum block that's more likely to need beefing up at higher HP's... although it's much more fun if you're comparing stock-to-stock.
Can't wait until Spring though!
