Welcome to NICO! Strut tower rot is something to look for on S14s.

Re: hello
Well there really isn't any..I was thinking more along the lines of common driveablity issue's, things that fail relatively often, what should be the things I do when I get the car?

Re: hello
Thanks..all the help is appreciated.I just want a reliable car! I'm kinda nervous getting into a 240..will be my first non-euro car and all of my cars have been VW/audi
Re: hello
Welcome!
The only time my car had a problem was my own fault, and letting the car overheat.
After I fixed that issue, It's been very reliable to me, even though I turbocharged it.
Just keep it well maintained and it should be good to you.
Due to their age, a lot of the seals are probably going to start leaking, so get ready for that.
If you need help with any of the procedures, consult the Factory Service Manual:
