Jager done with 240's

[Black on Gold]

Thats right guys. Jager is possibly done with 240's, possibly Nissan for the time being. Im 17 with 2 240's and living with 2 friends who we all 3 are in our last year of high school. I've had problems with my 91 since day one. First the frame needed straightening, luckily i got that done. Had a vac leak, got that done. Studs on the wheels needed changing, took care of that. I just now started driving it and found out the speedo is off by about 10mph and that there is something with the valves wrong. She's smoking real badly. It keeps stalling when im stopped at a light or stop sign. She also has some body work that needs to be done, interior and also the shocks are wasted. The other 240 has a missing quarter window and a hole in the block. I honestly dont have too much time or any money to put more into them. Right now with college coming up and going to be 9 hours away (Nashville Auto Diesel Collge) i need something reliable and i dont think a S13 is going to fix that unless i find a cheap one with no flaws (riiiight). I might just have to settle with what i can get. Maybe i'll be back after college with a 240 in the drive way

sucks man. ive had my share of probs too and sucked up and took it because school and rent prevented me from a new car payment. but even if i get a new car im keeping both of my s-13s.

only way id sell them would be to get a sportier, more capable car to play with.

[PBfrEAk]

Get a 3rd gen Maxima...well...a Maxima in general.

They're fun, faster than you would expect, and quite a nice ride.

[dickie]

my good friend had a max like that, it was comfortable and handled and accellerated well for a fwd economy sedan. not really a sporty car, but decent daily driver for sure.

[Black on Gold]

Yea, i wouldnt mind a maxima. Not much of a luxury or 4-door type but like i said i need reliability.

[dickie]

keep this in mind, you gamble buying any used car. the only sure way to avoid more problems is to get a brand new car with a warranty.

selling your car for another used one with unknown variables wouldnt be too smart.

and pbfreak, please fix your sig its way too big.

how bout instead of 2 240s that sound like your having problems with, you sell both a get a decent one.

I think we found your problem:You bought 2 pos cars, one with frame damage and you don't want lots of work....

Try buying only one car that doesn't suck with the money spent on two and all the repairs cars with things like bent frames are gonna need.

[Black on Gold]

They're not worthy enough to get a good conditioned one. I mean, im not spoiled by my parents and get a SR20'd Kouki for my 16th birthday or anything. My parents arent poor but just werent going to spend money on my car. So i had to do it all on my own. I hope to buy ATLEAST a newer USED car

I bought the 91 for $700 and the red one i bought with the 7-spoke SE's (which i needed, the tires on the 91 were beyond driveable) for $300. I figured i could either spend $150-200 on the 7spokes alone or pay another 100 to get a full car.

i have worked full time since i was 16 to afford my cars, and building them parents never bought any of my 240 fun parts (or any of my cars for that matter). yeah, they have all been stock and beat up at one time, but if you really want a well built 240, you have to work for it, and have to work on it. combine all the good parts from both cars and sell the other for parts.

[Red coupe]

ok....I saved up 3k working afterschool and bought my 240 cash for less then 3g and have had very few problems because I didn't buy decepid abused 240's to start with....

You bought project cars and now your ditching it cause its a project.Try buying one thats already a reliable daily...

that is waaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than either of my 240s were.

well what car do you expect to not take some for for 1k?

If you want something thats not gonna kill you with work buy a decent condition 95/96....You don't have to not have a 240 because you want a reliable car.

[Black on Gold]

I know. Honestly i dont have the money to buy a Zenki. I wish i did. I miss mine. SRpowered, i appreciate it, you know where im coming from on this. Like i said, maybe i'll get another one once im done with college. Im not here to get flammed for this. Encouragement would be a awsome

[Mr1der]

quitter.

real men never get started.

but I DID sit in the S12 last week...

[Florida240sx]

Car stalling???Sounds like vac issue or even just a 02 sensor, or clogged fuel filter....Ka's can be had for 3-500 and take a weekend to swap....I've had nightmares with my car, Only thing left that there is to replace is the head and oil pump..... Everything else is brand new

[Morph]

Easy fix man just get a loan for 1k get a new ka from a 95-97 and toss it in cheaper than a new ride and at least this one wont break b/c the last owner forgot to change the oil. + the ka wont run you 1k that saves you money for parts and a month or 2 worth of payments.

[Black on Gold]

I've already fixed a vac leak. Recently might i add. Im thinking of possibly keeping the red one that has a hole in the block and a broken quarter window. Possibly to build that one but the black one has to go to get me a DD.

This is the way to go, plus it's so much more satisfying when you know you paid for the car yourself. I saved up money from working two summers to buy the 2001 I30 I'm driving now, and not only did I get a car that I can drive for the next 5-6 years I got the satisfaction of paying for it myself.

[Dattebayo]

My 240 suks! ahhh nooo

lolIm not crying about mine. In fact, I am going to buy an even OLDER S-chassis, and put all the money I should make off my S13 into making one badas$ S13(ish) suspension conversion onto an S12 Im supposed to buy from NY in the next week or two. (I'll have enough to get TEIN suspension with the extras... )

Boy am I learning about that....8-5 in the hot sun lifting hoods, cv joints, doorpanels, wheel hubs, skyline steering wheels etc..(moving inside the shop tomorrow) and then collision repair class from 6-10 on mon-wed & fri (obviously not tonight.)

don't have enough $$ to do anything to the 180 but get the clutch resurfaced.

Stick in there man. I'm sure someone needs a shell and would buy your non running shell at a price benefiting both of you.

[Jookmasta]

get rid of the black car, ask for extra hours at ur job so u can save more money, and then start right NOW on the hunt for ur new dd. another 240 would be nice but i'm sure you wouldnt mind a 92 sentra coupe..........whether se-r or non i think that would fit your bill...............or should i say ur wallet

[~4N~]

You're obviously not hardcore enough. Having a 240 as a daily driver is living on the edge. Only real Rambos can take living in constant uncertainty.

HAHAHAHA i wake up wondering what is going to break today. Seriously its kinda sad.

[krazy skwerel]

Just wondering if you can't afford a Zenki S14 what do you plan to buy. I mean most Zenki S13's don;t go formore than 5K. A good DD IMO would be a damned Civic, or a corolla. You can get a mid 90's Corolla on the cheap.
