Thanks. ya you are probably right. I'm hoping not to spend too much on upgrades...but there is always that old wore out engine that needs rebuilding, clutch, and on and on. The classes that I've chosen require me to leave most everything stock, however i know i'm gona want that engine and tranny running as perfect as possible. The mods I've chosen using NASA's online classifier are as follows:
Your car: Nissan 240SX DOHC Start Over
Your base class is TTF.
Your mods are as follows:
DOT-approved R-compound "tread" tires (ex. Toyo RA-1, etc) for 5 points.
Tire width increased from OEM by : more than 31 mm for 2 points.
Air conditioning and condenser removal only.
*Replacement pulleys (other than for supercharger) for 1 point.
*Modification of the OEM air box, air filter location, air piping to the turbo/supercharger/throttle body/carburetor for 1 point.
*Non-OEM or modified complete exhaust system downstream from the header, exhaust manifold, or turbo. (does not include catalytic converter removal/upgrade) for 2 points.
*Non-OEM or modified coil springs, leaf springs, or torsion bars for 2 points.
*Non-OEM adjustable shocks/struts for 4 points.
*Add, replace, remove, or modify anti-roll bars ("sway" bars- front, rear, or both - may *have spherical joints and polyurethane bushings on the end links) for 2 points.
Your 19 modification points puts you in TTF.
I may change things here and there depending on what I find in my research. My focus will be on the suspension, so i'm thinking the points toward the pulley and downpipe might be better used elsewhere. Anything more than 19 points will put me in the next class.

introduction
Hi, I'm completely new to 240sx's and to Nissans entirely. I spent the past two year's attempting to turn a 91 eclipse AWD into a competitive autoX car and began to realise that the platform would be too costly(i figured on somewhere around 8 grand). What I ended up with was a car that would own on the drag strip(as far as streetable cars were concerned) but performed as well a child's wagon full of bricks on the track. So after some research I decided that I would give the s13 a shot. As I read the FAQ's and such please feel free to give me any advice or tips for autox'ing the s13. Please keep in mind that although I'm new to Nissan's, I'm not completely new to the patients, sweat, and sometimes blood it takes to work on a car you can be proud of.
