hey xray. i was just wondering if you guys are planning to make a 150mm body of the 240/180sx. i hope you guys do, cause i love drifting with my m18 and all i need is that body, so i hope you guys can make one. thanks

that's what i've been hoping too since i saw that 1/10 scale 180sx and sylvia drift car. it's so hard to predict what they're going to do so now im thinking of getting me that one.

let me guess, you drive a 240sx?

yup, im so glad that i own 1:1 240. i really wanna get that yokomo drift kit tho, but i have the m18 already, and its most excellent. if i were to get it tho, i would only use it for display purposes. it would look so good on top on my t.v.:D :D :D

you wanna know something interesting? i drive an infiniti J30, and for that car infiniti used the 240SX frame and the 300Z motor. they made it rear wheel drive and designed it in california! the motor and tranny are not geared like the 300Z, but its got great top end and i love the RWD and LSD. its a lot faster than most of the sedans out here like accords and civics.. if i just put a 300Z turbo on it i think thats when things would get interesting..

240SX frame and the 300Z motor? was that done straight out the manufacturer? or did you mean infinity based it out of the 240 and the 300z?

you're right about those hondas and stuff. no offense guys! :)

infiniti used the 240sx frame and the 300z motor in the production car. i never knew that stuff till i talked to a mechanic at a garage that was changing my timing belt.

i don't know if i've ever seen one. the only parts i could find for mine is a K&N cone for my intake. i've seen guys with cat-back exausts but those have to be fabricated because no one manufactures one.
if you have money tho the skies the limit, i imagine you could get a race tranny for it and change the timing on the motor or something to perform more like the 300Z..

you mean the 350z right? or the old 300z cars? well the old 300z cars are powerful. i'm not sure about the 350z though.

They need to start exporting them here. it's a shame how we get stuck with crappy cars nowadays.
