The Nissan 240SX is a rear-wheel-drive sports car that was sold in the United States from 1989 to 1998, developed by Nissan primarily for the North American market. The 240SX gained a cult following due to its sporty handling, modifiability, and affordability. It's particularly popular in the drifting community, where enthusiasts value it for its balanced chassis, rear-wheel-drive configuration, and tunable engine.

Key Highlights of the Nissan 240SX

1. Generations and Models

  • First Generation (S13, 1989–1994):
  • The first-generation 240SX was based on the Japanese Nissan Silvia S13 platform.
  • It came in various body styles, including coupe, fastback (hatchback), and convertible.
  • The KA24E engine was used from 1989 to 1990, a 2.4-liter SOHC inline-4 producing around 140 hp.
  • From 1991 to 1994, the KA24DE engine was introduced, a DOHC version of the 2.4-liter inline-4 with a slight boost in power (around 155 hp).
  • Second Generation (S14, 1995–1998):
  • The second generation was based on the Silvia S14 platform.
  • It featured a more rounded and streamlined design, differentiating it from the sharper lines of the S13.
  • The S14 retained the KA24DE engine, although it received minor tuning updates.

2. Engine and Performance

  • Unlike its Japanese counterpart, which featured turbocharged SR20DET engines, the 240SX came with the naturally aspirated KA24 series engines.
  • While the KA24 engines produced less power than the turbocharged Japanese models, they gained a reputation for reliability and decent torque, especially at lower RPMs.
  • The KA24DE engine’s popularity grew as a tunable platform, and many enthusiasts also swap in the Japanese SR20DET or even larger engines to increase power.

3. Handling and Chassis

  • The 240SX is well-regarded for its balanced chassis and responsive handling.
  • It uses a rear-wheel-drive layout with independent suspension, making it ideal for enthusiasts who value driving dynamics.
  • Due to its light weight and predictable handling characteristics, the 240SX became a favorite for drifting and track racing.

4. Body Styles

  • Coupe: Known for its clean lines and more compact design, this was a popular choice for those who wanted a classic sports car look.
  • Fastback (Hatchback): This style offered a sportier profile and increased cargo space with its hatchback design, making it practical for a range of uses.
  • Convertible: Less common, the convertible model provided an open-top driving experience but was heavier due to chassis reinforcements.

5. Modifiability

  • The 240SX is one of the most customizable cars in the tuner world, with a huge aftermarket for performance parts and aesthetic mods.
  • Popular modifications include suspension upgrades, engine swaps (like the SR20DET, RB25, and even LS V8 engines), turbocharging, and body kits.
  • The 240SX is commonly used in drift competitions due to its mod-friendly platform and easy conversion to higher power setups.

6. Legacy and Cultural Impact

  • The 240SX is a staple in car culture, especially in drifting and street racing scenes. Its affordability and availability in the used market have made it a go-to option for enthusiasts on a budget.
  • Due to its popularity, many 240SX models today are modified or heavily customized, and finding a stock example has become increasingly rare.
