Exclamation 1997-1998 240sx

hey whats up guys, im new to this ok.. so be easy. As of now, i drive a 1993 Nissan Altima, not going to lie, i like the car, but i dont want a 4 door sedan, i want a 2 door coupe. And whats better than a 240? I was doing reviews on all the 240's , and i'm currently wanting one really baD. I was looking at the 95-98 style. Ive seen that some of the 240's on the 95-98 year have ABS. AS of looks, im interested in the 97-98 Headlights style.

So my question is, witch models of the 97-98 240's have ABS and are Stick?

a very small percentage were equipped with abs. most se and le models don't have it, and of course no base models have it. as far as the transmission, most were automatic. but it is fairly simple to swap the transmission

Do you want ABS or do you not want ABS? A manual ABS 97-98 is going to be nearly impossible to find, and its likely going to be very expensive. Plus, its lighter without ABS.

actually... ABS was offered on the base model. the canada release versions had ABS and 4 lug. and the canada models are VERY popular in the US

Actually all 3 S14's that Ive owned had ABS. 2 SE models (one auto one manual) and a 97 base model auto.

To be honest, buy an 95 - 96 S14, save up some $ and do a Kouki (97 - 98 model) conversion. Cheaper that way and your likelyhood of finding a manual in a Zenki model is better.

I just wish my current S14 had sun roof... dammit. oh well, I guess that'll be my conversion project either this summer or next LOL
