The #1 Platform Car: Raab's Nissan 240SX Drift Missile

The Nissan 240SX, the #1 "hold my beer car" since the early 90's, has been synonymous with motorsports since its conception. Nothing has matched the 240sx in its combination of versatility, looks, and quality. Whether you drop a GM motor in it and scream down the highway, or swap the KA24DE engine that comes stock for a Blacktop SR20 like Raab did, the 240SX never fails to put a smile on everyone's faces.

Bright, loud and obnoxious, this Nissan is a soulful representation of Raab's personality. Raab has left his mark nearly everywhere on it, from the bright paint and huge diffuser to the JDM style shift knob and huge hydro-lever. This car may seem too out there, but if you're as in love with Japanese and automotive culture as Raab is, then it all makes a lot of sense. 

This particular 240SX is an absolute drift missile through and through. With Bride racing seats, dual caliper rear knuckles with a hydraulic handbrake, Tomei turbo & downpipe, standalone ECU and aftermarket harness, this USDM 240SX is ready to go as fast as you feel comfortable sliding sideways. You can't help but giggle when Raab flicks it around like a gocart and makes more smoke than Snoop Dog on 4/20. I nearly needed to change my pants after standing in the middle of Raab's donuts trying to get a good shot. Whatever happens with the 240, it's all smiles at the end of the day.
