Re: new to nissan...veterans help!
Like WIHsilvia said up above, if all you wanna do is get sideways then buy yourself a diff. I sugest actually buying one and not getting a welded one but many will argue over that topic right there. Do you have a single cam or twin cam? the KA motors are what are found in the Nissan pickup trucks so they have PLENTY of torque to get you sideways.

Yeah my bro's 91 coupe was having the same problem, sputtering at hard acceleration. I used BG's MAF cleaner and cleaned the MAF, replaced spark plugs (they were Bosch crap, Nissans, honda's etc love the NGKs), replaced the distributor cap and rotor, wires, and problem solved. I also bought a fuel filter, and will install it when I have time, although the issue is fixed.

Re: new to nissan...veterans help!
as for your prob under high load on your ka i suggest replaceing the fuel filter as a start.. and with the car being a 89 it had the SOHC ka.. which isnt worth modding. If you do decide to rock KA-T get a swap over from a 91-94 DOHC 240. There is always a nice easy s13 sr swap (will need to source a dohc ka p/s setup) good luck.. i still have my 93 s13 coupe (owned for 4years) i rocked SR for about 3 years but know goin V8 since i whiped out my intake cam on my sr

Hahaha, I can't believe I wrote GIGGLE. I meant JIGGLE, I was going to laugh at you about it but then I realized I wrote it myself, haha!
DailyDriEF - Are those splitfire coil packs? Did you notice any improvement with them?

O yea lotta 240 guys run nissan 300zx fuel filters (z32 body style..forget years ) and ngk spark plugs. 300zx fuel filters supposedly cheaper..never checked to confirmed though. DEFINITELY bigger. I Just got the filter and ran with em ever since lol. Also replace your pcv valve if you still got the ka24e in there..heard its easier to do on the sohc than the dohc ka24de.
