I miss my 240sx :-( I had to put it in the shop tuesday cause parents wanted to get anything messed up with it fixed :-/. Only things I know thats wrong with it is that the heat shield on downpipe needs to be rewelded and the valves needs to be changed. How much would that run up on price even though parents are paying for it...I wish I would get her back soon.

 

Dude why did you not just take the damn thing off like we told you to? And how do you know it needs a valve job? Bad compression?

 

I needed valve job cause it smokes white alot and I couldnt get to the downpipe's shield.Also, I know the mechanic personally so the price wont be high.

 

white smoke should be coolant I think, bad headgasket maybe?

 

prob...I just went from what my bro said but going into the valve he should see if the headgasket is busted or what not, right?

 

If he is puting valves in it then he will be pulling the head and you will get a new headgasket.

 

well the labor on replacing a head gasket is by far the most expensive part of the operation (the gasket itself is like 10-20 bucks.) and labor is hundreds of dollars. So if this guy is hookin you up it might not be that expensive.

 

It shouldn't be. I just wish he would be done with it by now..Saturday will be day 4 he has had it.

 

it is now day 5..and havent heard back :-(

 

Its been stolen and shipped to California. Now you know why there are so many for sale in Cali :P
But I hope you get it back soon, I know how it feels to be without your baby.

 

Yeah im stuck driving a 86 chevy S10

 

Finally heard from mechanic today and their just now starting..gay

 

Psht thats gay, shoulda just SR'd it yourself lol it would have been done by now.

 

I somehow highly doubt that, haha.

 

Head gasket or high mileage timing chain.
