Today i need some stuff for the car so i called the salvage yard in the next town over and they say they have 2 95 240sx's that just came in bout 3 weeks ago so im going back but today i got a new gas door (my sister pryed it open with a screwdriver before!!) that kinda freaked it up a little, a new rearview mirror b/c mine has some brown spots on it that looked quit ruff, and the factory jack, spare tire screw, and the tire tools(my sister lost those) all for only $25!!! Theres still some more things i need to get so i am going back next week sometime. Just thought i would say I LOVE SALVAGE YARDS they have the best stuff for o-so cheap!

You would think there would be more 240's here in the junkyards of socal, but i think all together at about 5 junkyards i have seen like 4. And all of them except one are 89's or 90's. Except for on 91'.

But yea, socal junkyards suck. I could only dream of seeing an s14 in one here.

One junkyard in our area had a complete '89 240. Thats where I pulled all the parts I needed. I got both fenders for $60, both taillights and trunklid for $65, MISC inside trim for $5, all 4 sidemarks for $10, Cut off some rocker for $5, both headlight tins for $10 and 3 out of 4 mudguards for $5. I love the junkyard. But like NSR said, no S14 or Z32's. They do have 3 FC's though and about 4 or 5 240, 280Z's.

we have a yard in North Houston that only deals in Nissans. I'm always going up there to get S14 parts and Z32 parts. You guys need to do some looking for a more specialised junkyard.
