I just got my car, and its a 93 Nissan 240sx, and everytime I turn the car, it shakes like crazy. Can anyone help me figure out what the problem might be?

power steering pump locked up? causing too much drag on the belt... might want to check that out...

or you can try better describing the problem...it just shaking when you turn is a bit general, what shakes, how does it shake, do you know where it's coming from? engine? suspension?

OOPs. mis-read that. thought you said when you you turned it on, not turning in general. Do you hear any odd noise when turning? could be something as simple as tire rub if you have aftermarket wheels. Or it could be something more complex like rack and pinion or bent control arm.
