For the S14 240sx, how easy are parts to come by? could i walk into any autozone/kragen/etc to get a part for my car if anything needed replacing? or would i have to order from some website overseas and wait for it to come then figure out a way to DIY, like i cant go to any old shop for them to do it for me

not that i want something to go around im just saying if something goes wrong. I live in California btw if that helps. These cars are pretty hard to find even on craigslist i can imagine the lack of parts available should something need repaired/replaced



thanks!
and feel free to point me to an "ultimate 240 parts" website or something and a list of commonly encountered problems of the 240


i plan on using my car as a daily driver, no plans on drifting it. its the standard model idk i'd want to put in an LSD for it if possible. hopefully nothing goes wrong with it. i only had it for a month. all stock. i had a toyota corolla before this and most repairs maintenance was tuneups like spark plugs distributor battery

Lol, this is funny.

Yes. Very easy. But if something messes up, might as well upgrade it

Man, the 240 is probably the most maintanance friendly car I can think of, aside from Miatas and Civics. If you can't get regular OEM-esque parts at Autozone/O'Reillys/Napa/etc... hit up Courtesy Nissan. Of course there's always ebay and Craiglist for used parts too.

For aftermarket parts, hang out on the forums for the best deals and lowest prices.
