I am looking into buying a 1991-1992 Nissan 240sx. I will prob be spending approx $4500-$6000, just wondering if their are any specifics that I should look for when buying this car, ex options, powerplant(I believe there is only one) or any common problems I should be aware of, thanks.

wow thats big money for an s13. If you use the search function it will help a whole lot. Also listen for timing chain rattle. The only engine available in those years you noted is the ka24de. Don't get heads up as it probly won't work. :batman

edit: You posted it was canadia while I was in mid post. Ignore the begining of my post.

Don't talk to nova, he obviously doesn't know whats going on outside of the 3ft bubble around him.

EDIT: And searching is a VERY good way to find the answeres to most of your questions.

Repo, I know this is off topic, but where did you attend college, I'm interested in going into repossessing

Altiman, you don't need a degree to be a repossessor. I was in finance and then got into the wild side. Do yourself a favor, get a degree in something worthwhile and stay away from repossessing cars. Seriously.

No problem [Zero-S].

I was pondering either Business Management or going into some type of Engineering, probably mechanical. Business seems to be more appealing me to at the moment.

If you have the type of mind to be an engineer, do that. I wish like hell I could be an engineer. Not that good with math though.

My strong suits on my ACT's were math and science. Ended up with a cumm. of 28.

Post by **gibbo80** » Tue Jul 15, 2003 7:20 pm

hey lets all post jack away, just go for it,

altiman way to try and brag

Drock could you give us an idea of what you wanna do with the 240, this way we can be better equipped to tell you what to look for

Post by **[Zero-S]** » Tue Jul 15, 2003 7:20 pm

You're right about that. Repo has common sense which=good judgement=good guy. (Not tryin to be a kiss-arse Repo, but its what I see)

Post by **novaguy14** » Tue Jul 15, 2003 7:20 pm

Well he probubly respects that.

Post by **[Zero-S]** » Tue Jul 15, 2003 7:20 pm

Hijack?? Whats that;)?

Post by **gibbo80** » Tue Jul 15, 2003 7:20 pm

drock what are your plans for the 240

Post by **Drock** » Tue Jul 15, 2003 7:20 pm

Well, first off, sadley I will have to drive it all year.....but, I do not think that will be much off a prob.

This year I would like to buy a full exaust system, (hi-flow cat, custom welded pipe and performance exaust....somehing not ricey and not "tinney" sounding if you know what I mean) also a could ait intake and mass air flow would be nice. I may buy rims this year if finaces permit it. However, next year I would really like to drop and SR20DE j-spec into the car. Depending again on finaces and how difficult a job it is. I hav no idea if the motor mounts line up or what other hardware I need, I know people who have used that engine but only in NX2000's not any 240's.

In other words, other then rims, and possible paint job, I am more conserned(spelling?) with a nice perfomance+everyday drive ability more then anything else. Overall esthetics, would be in the future....

I hope that helps, if you guys need more info let me know, and thanx for the help

I meant cold AIR intake...also I would like to know if any of these parts rom the 240 would then mount on the SR20 motor.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the actuall specs of the SR20 motor, becuase I have heard the J-spec has around 202hp but my friends could not tell me for sure., thanx again guys....

hey altiman.. if you like business and engineering.. do Industrial Systems Engineering. what is ISE? its a business degree with the engineering pay.what do we do? theres 4 different fields, but if you like business.. thers the management systems side where you get to choose how many people should be hired,their schedule, or how much of what should be kept in the inventory, or should buyin this piece of equipment be worth it.. etc. it applies to every type of business out there..

bad side.. theres alot of people in engineering doing ISE. competitions hard but then again, it seems like everybody got their MBAs.

good side.. the starting salary of some of my friends was in the mid 50s.. thats good money.

Post by **Drock** » Tue Jul 15, 2003 7:20 pm

I finished reading a few posts AGAINST the SR20det, not sure what my standpoint is because I do not know the full specs of either, SR20 or ka24. I was wondering what the specs of the SR20DE are compaired to th SR20DET.

People also say cost is a problem...my friend said he could get me one for $600-$800 Canadian... I do not kno if hat is good or not..

Post by **karter74** » Tue Jul 15, 2003 7:20 pm

depends on what it includes, sounds good though, but does it come with transmission, uncut ecu, turbo, I/C, etc
