Engineered for street dominance, this 1996 Nissan 240SX has undergone a complete transformation with a dyno-proven 442 horsepower 6.0L LS2 V8 swap. Wearing an aggressive red exterior that perfectly contrasts with its black wheels, this Japanese-designed, American-powered machine has the right stance to match its newfound muscle. The elevated hood with its functional risers signals the extra firepower underneath, while the wider 275/35ZR18 rear tires compared to the 245/40R18 fronts give this drift icon a firm, planted look. A rear window spoiler adds the final visual cue that this 240SX moves on both straightaways and corners.
Opening the door reveals a performance black interior with cloth bucket seats and a console shifter for the T56 six-speed manual transmission. Strategic instrumentation including an AEM air/fuel ratio gauge, ARM oil pressure gauge, and Aeroforce gauge keep vital engine parameters in clear view during high-performance driving. The factory dashboard maintains clean lines and good gauge clarity, complemented by a well-maintained headliner and door panels. Both air conditioning and cruise control maintain everyday usability without compromising the car's performance focus.
Mechanical excellence defines this 240SX with its Gen 4 LY6 6.0L V8 engine featuring ported and polished heads, LS7 lifters, chromoly pushrods, Texas Speed 235/239 .617/.627 cam, and dual valve springs. The full build includes an LS3 intake manifold, Nick Williams 103mm throttle body, Canton oil pan, ported LS6 oil pump, and Walbro 450 fuel pump. Power transfers through a T56 six-speed manual transmission to the factory rear end, while BC Racing BR coilovers maintain stability. Hooker headers connect to a custom 3" to 4" MagnaFlow exhaust system, creating the perfect soundtrack for this V8-powered Japanese classic.
