  • How a bare-bones commuter Nissan 240SX became boosted and BMW-blue.
    The Nissan 240SX has long been a popular choice for car enthusiasts looking to build a drift machine. In this video, we take a closer look at a modified 240SX that holds a special place in owner Dan's family. Passed down through the generations, this car has undergone numerous modifications to become the unique and powerful machine it is today. Is it perfect? Is the surgery done? Only a drive will tell.
    Thank you @tire.man.dan

    Best mod's for S14's: 1) Rear locking collars for the subframe (or solid) 2) Coil-overs. Totally changes how the car handles, and stops it from feeling like it's tucking it's front wheel underneath itself when turning fast. Plus you get some beautiful trans noise coming through after the rear axle is hardened.
