best year of the 240sx to mod?

[D_X-G.45]

which is your favorite ? the 95 looks pretty nice. then agian i saw a 91 i liked too.

[NismoFLiP]

dude hands down 97-98

[MainEvent212]

95 because your sr20 will hook up to a sniffer instead of an CU machine (OBD II) that's an immediate fail

[Anand]

95!!!

[lucas_420]

depends on the body style you like... if you like the S14, then 97-98 look best to me, but I have a 92 FB and in my baised opinion its the best.

[SR Sil80]

yea the best USDM 240s were most definately the 97-98s mmm I want one haha. I have a 92FB and I like that style too. Sleepy eyed and all that

[Structure240sx]

to actually mod would be a 91 they have the best cams, but really any 91-94 they are lighter than the 95-98. the s13's have grown on me in apperence in the past couple months, but i wouldnt be able to let go of my 95 for one.

[daniel240]

the 96 grille looks better than the 95.

[MasterMan]

91! u all dont know what your talking aboot .. nah accully the 97-98's look sick..

[Dano]

95

[Silviagirl79]

95 with a 97/98 front end

[SilviaLuvr]

besides the 98 typeX i like the 01' my self. hehehe:D

[Infamous]

yea, 01+ hands down:D

[sohc90adel]

1990!!! because the car cost less and it has one cam!

[Kaioshin1982]

1990!!! because the car cost less and it has one cam!

and its because you own one? hehe

[Bbill528]

i always thought more was better...

[lessthanjakejohn]

89 coupe is the best

[nametakennow]

I hate to ask such a stupid question, but why would a 95' be exempt from the new tests exactly? I'm guess it's cause of age, but is it because its 8 years old or because cars weren't built that clean until 96'?

[I am Technoman]

Ill stick with my 98

95 was the last year with obdI ECUs 96+ use OBDII dont ask me to explain the differences all i know is its emission crap.

[MainEvent212]

yeah 95 they used OBD I testing, (that's the exhaust sniffer instead of a machine hooking up directly to your ECU)

with a 95 and below all you have to pass is visual and a sniffer test...with a 96+ if you have an SR u automatically fail period

[nametakennow]

Dude, I'm getting a 95' then.edit: unless I don't get an SR til I make it track-only...

[nissanrcer240]

i think if your always short on cash,like me;), then 89-90 model is probly best b/c you can find them dirt cheap with high mileage or a blown motor and then mod the hell out of them(motor swap,etc.) with the money left over that you would have spent on like an s14 for example......but if money isnt a factor, then its hands down to the 97-98 models, their one of the best lookin cars in thier price range IMO

[Phax]

[edit: pre]95 because your sr20 will hook up to a sniffer instead of an CU machine (OBD II) that's an immediate fail

:Werd

[SilviaLuvr]

i'll agree with you phax. that is werd

And so do the 92 and early (pre scv removal) 93's. Plus the s14's put down more power then the s13's with the same 240 - 248 cams installed.

I would go for an s14b / 95-96 se. Cheaper and better looking then a s14a, gen better condition / less miles then a s13 (read less things to fix out of the box), 5 lug hubs offering a base platform offering a wide array of brakes and wheels with out needed mods, nicer interior, easier to find a r200v installed on one vs hunting for a hicas s13, and the list goes on. The s13 does have the lighter weight issue though...

Ive owned a s13 fb and a s14b. While I love my s14 I still want to get a s13 coupe as Ive never had one.

[SilviaLuvr]

HMMMMMmmmm.....im a still say the S15 OOOPS! i mean the 01'

[240_of_pa]

uh duh, 89 hatch baby!! pop up lights and all. with a nice paint job and wheels forget about it.

[Atom12]

Personally, I like them all. 95-98's are really hard to come by though...in my experience. Unless I guess, you like to travel.

[MoToR mOnKeY]

i have a 98 and im still not sick of the way it looks and neither are the honda kids. but i also like the 98 kouki front end better. but a 91 180SX with the chuki bumper. and i also like the 93 silvia Ks bumpers with the circle circle square headlights.
