LMFAO at all the noobs in here telling adrian he's wrong. But anyways to answer the op's question no specific year is more reliable or performs better than any other. Theyre all pretty much the same, its a matter of the condition you buy the car in. Never had a problem with any of my 240's and theyve all been different years and bodies. 91 with dohc, 95 dohc, and my 89 now. Just make sure you buy one in good condition or like any other car it will instantly become a money pit.

Don't buy an SR20's because it would go for a premium one week before Race Wars.

Nissan called them Fasbacks in the US as so to sell more.Fastback sounds better to americans than Hatchback.

But the RS13 is a Hatchback by definitionThe 180sx and 200sx are called Hatchbacks.

91 was the best year performance wise. The 1991 build models had a slightly more aggressive cam than any other year with a ka24de.

Not a huge difference, 1-2 hp if that... nothing drastic though.

Ok, all you did there was say the same thing I did but quote me and put in more useless info to make it look as if I was wrong. I never said that a 240 was a fastback, I said "nissan actually called it a fastback" which according to you was true. So you agreed. Oh and I agree that they are hatchbacks, but moreover those are both just words, and are therefor not really important enough to bicker about.

Oh and I've been arguing with my wife for an hour, so thats probably why I took it like that. No offense.

I wasn't arguing with you, just adding on to your point.Its a fact that Nissan called it a Fastback, but the car is a Hatchback.
