The 240SX is the North American Silvia, prized for its lightweight rear-drive chassis and tuning potential. Although sold with the modest KA24 four-cylinder, its balance and SR20DET swap compatibility made it the quintessential entry-level drift platform, achieving cult status within grassroots motorsport and import culture.
