hey, i was just wondering if someone could tell me any common problems found in used 96-ish 240s? i am very interested in purchasing a used 240, seeing as my 90' maxima just crapped out on me for the last time.. *tear.Is there anything i should be looking for in perticular? with the manual trans? or with the auto trans?

thanks.

tapping noise under the valve cover is usually a broken upper t-chain guide. luckily you can just remove the darn thing and be ok. it is not needed according to nissan.

other than that, the s14 is pretty problem free.

apparently more then just I have had bad injectors, and I had to replace all 4 of mine (at about $100 a piece). smell around the intake manifold, if they are leaking its easy to tell
