ok everyone., before you all wonder why my name has nismo in it and i am posting in a rx7 forum i just wanted to let everyone kno this lol, i have a 1 240sx and i am in love with it , but while i alwatys wanted my 240 i always wanted a fc. but i was just wonderind little things. the fc is 13b right? and its turbo charged.. ok and last does it have an LSD and is there any year 2nd gen that does. thanks

LSD is Standard in TII but are not available on gtu. S5 hp output is slightly higher but S4 is lighter...

Only the TII Is turbocharged, as black rocket mentioned, most 240's in the states come with the ka24de, my friend has a 240, and is dropping an sr20det, in it, and those come/came stock in the s13's in japan. Anyways im gettting kind of off topic. Which year was your 240? is it s13 or 14? And if your keeping it, drop an SR in it

Oh, and all 2nd gen rx-7s have the 13b, the 12a was in the 1st generation, but is it true some have 13b's? Or am i completely off my rocker.

Srnismo20 - oooh friend has a '91 hatchback as well. I swear that car was made for subs. But rx-7's as well. The sound angles off the back window right to your ears. He just bought anpother KA with only 20k miles on it, and hes putting a t-68 turbo on it i believe. That what im helping him with all winter. :P

Black rocket - Wicked, thanks for clearing that up.

LOL. That's crazy, I drive an RMS13 and hopefully soon a FC3S. Stock for stock, the S13 is faster, (both are N/A) but you just can't beat the smooth power delivery on the rotary.

Both cars are great, both with strengths and weaknesses. And I don't know if you're claustrophobic or not, but the FC feels WAY smaller than the S13. After driving the Mazda for a weekend, my Nissan felt like a sedan. LOL.

Oh trust me, Mazda engineers worked really hard to have them vehicles to be small and yet to be able to carry thru them ponies and keep it as light as possible.

And having a drag coefficient equivalent and/better than of Ferraries

Our cars are tiny the cross sectional area is very small. Only a few things act like parachutes on our cars compared to most others. With a front mount and a reverse scoop hood, it's nearly cut by 1/4. These things have so little wind resistance it's amazing.
Drive an rx7, let off the gas at about 70 or 80 and see how long it takes you to slow down to 60. Then try it in any other car.

As for the LSD, it's a pretty strong stock LSD. If you like your 240, you'll wet yourself with an FC or an FD respectively. I've never driven a nissan that I liked more than an rx7.
