Well I thought I would just make a thread and everyone should/could add to typical problems that they have noticed with the 240's, People can review it when buying and know where and what to look at

So far I know of:

Sunroof Whistle at high speeds
Power steering leaks
rotted hatch's due to spoilers
timing chain
Valve cover gasket

Not sure if its common, but my S13 has bad electrical problems

Just off the top of my head, Add if you want to

 

NO CUPHOLDER AHHHHHHHHHHH

 

coolant resovoir tank
rust under battery tray
clogged pair valve

you guys might want to check out the "you know you own a 240 if...." thread

 

I think I found an easy way to silence the whistley sunroof....ill report back tomorrow

 

A common problem with 240s is that they are just so god damn JDM

 

 

I found a way to silence the sunroof...at least the hatchback sunroofs. I cut tiny holes in the weatherstripping, and fill it up with silicone... Ive seen some use very small amounts of that expanding foam with good results as well.

 

front seal is usually a problem. waterpump, torn uphoulstry, and sometimes the alternator.

 

i dont want any problems with mine

 

ha youll never get that wish

PS. i love your sig

 

I cant beleive no one has metioned the crack addicted dashs.
AND THE FACT NO ONE SELLS HUD DASHS DAMMIT!!!

 

yeah my 93 has one crack in fron the the steering wheel, and one in front of the passenger
the upholstery on the drivers seats ripped
two words "tin can"
changing leaking coolant hoses that are impossible to change that you have to take the intake manifold off for is expensive and sucks fer sure
theres a whole in the truck
hole where my intake filter chills

 

the "hole" in the trunk is to drain it if your car gets caught in a flood?

 

Ummm. is it me or do they seem poorly put together at teh factory?

 

The alternator issue is with all nissans...
check to make sure the alternator mounts are clean as for good grounding and also check to make sure the positive wire is run well. dont buy nissan alternators they suck.. spend some cash and get a good alternator with a warrenty!
