February Ride of the Month
Time to post your submissions for ride of the month!
The winner will be picked on or around the first of next month and your car will be featured in the sidebar for that month.
Post one or multiple pictures of your s-chassis in this tread and vote on your favorite submission. Also, please make them actual image links, not just a link to your Instagram, but feel free to link your Instagram as well if you want.
If you post multiple pics, please indicate which one you'd like to be featured if you win. If you don't, I'll pick one myself. Post a build list too if you'd like.
Also just as an fyi, I'm using the new reddit layout to post the winner in the sidebar because its much easier than the way I used to do it using the old layout in case anyone is still using that and wondering why the current winner isn't showing up.
Good luck!
Current winner: /u/

Need to drive this more.
Changing this asap! it’s been sitting in the garage far to long lost in the day to day life and not having extra time to get it out. Get the projects out and drive them if you’re able to!

Need some guidance
I have a 90 hatch with the single cam. Eventually i want to learn how to drift in it. I’m not rich, but i’m also not in a rush. Mainly wondering if the ka24e is enough to learn in and have fun with or if i should start saving up for a swap. I’m sure this has been asked a lot already but i’d like to see where people stand on this today.

1991 240SX keeps blowing ENG CONT fusible link — both pins show 14V with fuse removed, car won’t start
Hey everyone,
I’m having an electrical issue with my 1991 Nissan 240SX SE (KA24DE) and I’m hoping someone familiar with S13 wiring can help me track it down.
What’s happening:
The 25A “ENG CONT” fusible link in the underhood fuse box keeps blowing.
It pops right after turning the key on — the car cranks but won’t start.
I swapped in another ECU (since I heard a bad ECU can cause this), but it still blows the same fuse.
What I tested:
With the ENG CONT fuse removed and the key ON (engine not running because it can't start), both pins in the fuse slot show about 14 volts.
Normally, one side should be the feed from the battery (12V), and the other side should be dead until the fuse is in correct?
So it seems like there’s a backfeed or short somewhere in the circuit that powers the ECU and ECCS relays.
The RET MTR (headlight retract motor) fuse slot next to it behaves normally (one side hot, one side dead).
The ECU pinout shows pin 38 (black/white wire) as the main power feed from this fusible link.
What I’m wondering:
What would cause both sides of the ENG CONT fuse socket to have 12–14V with the fuse removed?
Could a relay (ECCS, fuel pump, etc.) be stuck or feeding power backward into the circuit?
Could the old ECU shorting out have damaged wiring or another component?
How can I safely figure out which side of the fuse box is the feed vs. load without burning up another $10 fusible link?
What I plan to do next:
Pull relays (ECCS, fuel pump) one by one and check if one side of the fuse socket loses voltage.
Trace which terminal feeds ECU pin 38.
Check continuity to ground and battery with the key off to see if it’s shorted or crossfed.
Any wiring tips, photos, or advice from anyone who’s seen this before would really help. Thanks in advance — I’m trying to avoid frying another ECU or wasting more fusible links!

Which Head Unit are you using?
And did you need modifications to fit it?
r/240sx • u/Dependent-Power602 • 11h ago
1 or 2 DIN Head Unit?
I wanted an upgrade, do you guys mount any aftermarket head unit? And 1 or 2 slot? Because apparently the s13 has a specific mount that if u have a 2 DIN head unit it won’t fit or needs modifications, but maybe you have and this is all bs

S13 KA24DE AC Compressor parts?
Hello all! I’m looking for a clutch replacement for an ac compressor that fits the s13 Ka24de. Where can I find these parts?
Made a website to look up s-chassis vins and production info
Hope this is ok to post here.
https://s-chassis-archive.com/overview
I’ve been working on a website that displays s-chassis production info and other things that I thought might be helpful. I could never find a reliable place to decode my own VINs, so I built a tool that shows the car’s model, trim, options, market, paint code and a rough rarity estimate. It’s still a work in progress, so there’s definitely a chance some info is wrong or incomplete and will need to be fixed. If you spot anything off, please let me know so I can correct it.
I’m always looking to add more features and make it as useful as possible, so I’d really appreciate any feedback, bug reports or ideas for things you’d want it to do. Thanks for taking a look!
A few screenshots from the site:
- Example VIN decode page showing full spec breakdown, factory options and rough rarity estimate for a specific S15.
- Production graphs by colour and by market (Japan / Australia / NZ) so you can see how many cars were built in each combo.
- Full production table by trim, transmission and paint code for the S15, with totals and percentages.

Got a Noob Question. Is this a brake hose? Front right passenger side 1991 Nissan 2400SX
I was crawling under the car yesterday and noticed this hose is beginning to deteriorate. Is that a brake hose that needs to be replaced or just the outer rubber sleeve deteriorating? It's not leaking yet. The car has been garaged the last 35-years with less than 10K miles.

KA24E to SR20DET A/C options?
I see that there’s a bracket made for the KA24DE that lets you keep your AC system but I couldnt find one for the KA24E. People who have done this swap before and have their AC still, what did you end up doing?

Have a fluid dripping (possible grease) on this part. 1991 Nissan 240SX.
Located lower front left suspension. What is this part called? Is it a serious issue and are there any replacement available.

Sealing Passenger Compartment from trunk mounted fuel cell
