look dude im sorry if it seems im being an ******* but im not trying to be, i understand its hard for you to type/speak english and im not making fun of you because i dont care if you dont speak good english. Honestly all you can do is search around. www.autotrader.com is probably the best used car site around, try there and watch on forums, your best bet is to find one with a high mileage or blown motor since your swapping it out anyways. the body style you want is going to cost more because its newer, if your looking for real cheap then find an s13, they are like 1000-2000 for one with an old motor.

 

Yeah thats what i was exactly thinking , But still dont you think the chassie will have major rust with high mileage? your 89 240sx makes me want to get one But im still wonder if i should..

 

rust all depends on where the car is from, if its from the north where they dump salt on the road and the car is driven in the winter then its more likely to have rust, but down south we dont have that problem, just inspect the car, thats all u can do.

 

Alright , And what was the most common problem you had with " your " 240?

 

just little things, like my hatch doesnt open unless i have something to hold the handle up lol. Few interior defections like a common tear in the side of the seat. Just little stuff like that nothing to major, just inspect the car and drive it and you should know by then if its worth the money or not. ask about any problems, wheather minor or not.

 

Alright thanks for your help.

 

bunch of noob haters some of you guys are.

Anyways, for future reference, the 89-90 240s, commnly known as the pig-nose 240s, had a single overhead cam (SOHC) engine in them, and are slightly different when it comes to swap a JDM motor in them, such as an sr20 or rb25. The 91-94 240s (like mine) have a dual overhead cam motor (DOHC) that had slightly better HP and torque numbers from the factory, and from what i read is easier to do motor swaps in. usually the 89-94 240s are referred to by their last 3 characters of their chassis code (S13). They were available in both coupe and fastback models, though only the fastbacks were available with factory VLSD's. The 95-96 240s are known as zenki 240s, nothing different as far as drivetrain, just some subtle differences. 97-98 240's (called koukis) were given a new front end and new tail lights to make it look more aggressive but were essentially the same as before. The 95-98 240s are usually called by their chassis code (S14). Im not really up to speed on how the S14 models were different from S13's because im not too experienced in their field.

Anyway, i hope this helps you in your search for a 240

 

thanks La that helps a bit.
