well I'm a new owner of a 1990 240SX Fastback, and the two are pretty much the same car so......

If you have automatic seatbelts, make sure there working properly cuz that's what I'm dealing with right now.The speedometers on these things seem to crap out after a while and not work properlycheck for cracks on the lower front lipand over the speedometer clusterand check for rust of course

brake master cylinder might be leaking. power antenna is prolly broken.aiv valve is likely sending water into air filter. check air filter for rust. iacv likely clogged with crap. alternator, starter, and fuel pump likely will go soon. all these things can be fixed pretty cheap.
