I just saw the picture of the coupe, it almost looks like it was in an accident when I look at the door's alignment.

Other than that, a boosted single slammer? HELL YEAAAAAAAH. Doesn't look bad at all dude, needs some attention but what 240 doesn't?

the door gap could be a number of things; swapped doors for ones with power options, just sagging over time, simply missing the weather stripping on the door

No one can tell you what will make you happy. Do what YOU want.

ya i wouldnt trade the altima for that piece. no way in hell. although, a boosted single WOULD be pretty tits, the car just looks like its been poorly maintained. i could be wrong though. id test drive it, and give it a compression test at the very LEAST

I'd do it, if the 240 checks out. You already have the G35 as a daily, so why do you need 2 sedans. Get the 240 as your toy.

My thoughts exactly, G35 for DD, and maybe some track use, but I'd like to use the 240 for learning to drift, and some use at the track as well. I will check into the compression, the motor looks really clean when I saw it, but if it's not running it's definately not worth it. I can get some R33 JDM imports from Quebec for around 8K, I would rather save for something like that.

Going to check it out... will report back soon, thanks everyone!

I know I will get one soon enough either way, so you can expect to have another 240 on here soon

Not the cleanest 240 (but they are getting harder to find) but the motor work LOOKS clean....compression test and if it checks out why not....gl

OK boys and girls... I think i will be doing this.I was in the car on the weekend, and let me just say, that that thing is so sick. I was like OMGWTF!!!

It was so fast, he drifted around the second corner in his neighbourhood. It's loud as a V8 at the track. it's got mad balls. I think he peeled rubber right into 3rd... and that's only at 4psi. The engine is welded down, so it vibrated like no other car I've ever been in. loud as hell, and then amplified.

So he wants to trade for the altima, and I will have to pay out $600 if I want the 17" wheels to go with it. I don't know if I'm getting a good deal, but it's definately a sick ride... I want it so bad. It will probably spank my G for sure, it's that crazy. total rat rod..

Because youre ghey...welcome to NICO

I wouldnt add 600 for wheels since your car seems to be in better shape overall......welded mounts??????.....and if he was beating on it w/you in the car imagine how he treats it when you are not around....its your decision but dont be blinded into thinking this is the only 240 you will find

not sure what this means, care to elaborate?

Post by **BrandAidDesignG35** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 7:51 am

Oh, like instead of engine torque dampers to stabilize the engine and preserve tourque in the lower RPM, the engine has been welded to the frame, and in turn it shakes the entire car like crazy. I think it would help to drift, but it would probably cause some bouncing and roughness during take-off at the drag strip. Similar to a roll cage, it completely makes the engine / front end rigid, you really feel the engine in the pedal, steering wheel, etc.
