How long did your 240 engine last?
I have a car im looking at high milage. 150K! 95 240sx SE. I'm just wondering if the car was driven mildy agressive how long could/should it last? I don't know how it was driven but I just like to know how long I can expect it to last. When it goes out maybe an RB25det. I got a quote for it 2650.00 + shipping but maybe I can pick it up.

Motor clip sorry. He also has the VG30det clip for the same price but that one seems much more complex to install and a much tighter fit.

If you're looking for an excsuse to do a swap, this would be it!
Thats cheap, as long as it's in good shape the engine should last you a couple years, save for a lower mileage KA or RB or SR until then. my KA has only 126K but she puts out like a fox.

My KA lasted 86k miles before it was pulled for a 39k mile SR. Of course the KA lives on in another 240.

The KA in my 91 has about 159,xxx miles on it and burns oil a little bit but she's still alive and kicking.

I got a quote and he said 2800 for the RB25 clip. Def worth waiting for.

thats a damn good price for a RB. Make sure it's complete, not just the engine! or you'll spend thousands on a wiring harness, ecu and everything else.
