Well, Im looking at buying a 95 Nissan 240sx SE. Its the blue-ish teal color, black leather in decent shape, 5spd, 93kmiles on it, stock motor, intake, exhaust all stock.
However, the car does have tokico shocks and shorter springs. It also has bigger and drilled rotors as well as better pads. My question is, this car clearly had to be beat on quite a lot and auto crossed correct? I drove it, and it felt fine. handled nice, no noises other then the brakes. The brakes were insanely loud. I mean, really loud. just driving around, not touching the breaks, i can hear the rotors. I can also hear the rotors coming to a stop as well. He said thats normal because there aftermarket and bigger, (slotted, ect) He said he was going to put a sr20 in it but decieded not to. Do do you guys think this 93kmile 240sx with suspesion is most likely going to turn into a lemon to due the mods? Paint is good, couple stratches, nothing major. I don't believe that rotors and new pads should be that loud..What do you guys think?
He is looking for $4500obo. Do you think this is a good deal? Thanks alot guys

that's a great deal.

The pads are semi metallic . . . They make noises.

and how is it possible to have bigger rotors, unless it's also has bigger calipers?

what's the brake setup, I'm curios.

 

I'm looking at it again Sunday with my dad. I hope its not sold. I'll find out what kind of brake setup he's running. So you think thats a good deal? Even though he autocrossed with it? Thanks alot for your input

getting a decent frame/shell/motor for $4500 should be your incentive.

think of it as ..broken in.

plus the other parts are replaceble.

No problem.

 

Thanks alot for your input! I'll let you know how it all goes.
