Good morning all, I have been having an issue with my ITA 240SX for about 1.5 years now that I just can't seem to pin down. It made for a very discouraging race weekend... The car runs ok for the first few laps of a session, but then it's almost like a switch (or a bad sensor that doesn't like...

Good morning all, I know that this car is not listed in the GCR, but I'm hoping some of the older cars have the same front strut mount design... I have a 2001 Jetta street car that I've had some problems with the front upper strut mounts on. There is about a 3/4" gap above the upper mount...

Good morning all, I just tried to order the bronze oil pump drive gear and spindle combo from courtesyparts.com(for a 1990 240SX KA24E)... The drive gear is not available anymore, and the spindle is on back order. It states that the pair must be replaced as a set. Anyone out there using these...

Hopefully someone can help... here's the situation: I have prepared an ITA 240SX and will be going through the driver schools next month(northern Ohio racing season doesn't start very early) and I would like to go to a higher final drive ratio. I know that my car has an R200 ring gear (200mm?)...

Hi everybody, I recently completed a complete rebuild of my KA24E engine in a 1990 240sx. The problem I'm having is a complete lack of oil pressure... I did prime the pump. I purchased a new oil pump and swapped that out also, so I really don't think that it's the pump. I didn't have an O-ring...
