how about the chasis?

 

The cars one of the best most reliable cars made, if you take care of them. Treat them right and they will rarely give you problems. You could be in a drive by and chances are the car will still be running even if your not. Find a 240 and theres about a 99% chance youll love it. I don't know anyone that doesn't like the car or has had any problems with it.

 

I must say I must agree that the s13 is the best car I've ever had LOVE it. everyone I know Loves it. The only real thing for at least the s13 is that the timing chains, if not repaired urself are about $1,000 to replace. If u do it, about $200-$250 and a hellofa lot of time. (well for me) other then that I have had no problems at all!!!

 

My s13 has 275k miles on it and still runs strong, and no 95 Si' didnt come with B16a2 the Si motor was a D16z6 SOHC so get yo' facts straight

 

ok, the timing chain issue... is that just de or us e ppl too?

 

Both E and DE I believe

 

Ok, everyone! I am going to see a 90 S13 later today! That is the only one that find within 3 weeks that I think is a decent car. But it has a Automatic. At this point, I don't really care if is a stick or auto cuz there is almost impossible to find a S13 that have everything you want at right price(cannot be so picky at this point) plus I need a car man (I had been borrow my friend's car for 3 week, now it's time to return it). Oh by the way, if I remeber correct, did s13 had Timing Chain Recall? THX

 

not recall, service note.. you get stuck w/ the bill.

 

Today is a good and a bad day! The bad news is the s13 that I saw this afternoon had big oil leaks, and bad muffer!So I passed it! Well, I just bought a 89 Mazda MX-6 Turbo! I miss the S13 but just don't have time and patient to find one, so I go with the 6! However, I still love 240sx but is not the right time for me to own one!

 

what about s13 red top sr20dets, how many miles are they usually good for with good care?

 

i luvvvvv my s13!

its a 90 and just rolled over to 95 k

so its old, needs some nice attention to it but it runs beautifully, and like some people said you will need hoses and fluids, but thats why i work at valvoline! hahah!!!

if you are in the correct part of the US you wont have chassis problems...

but if you are in NE ohio like i am, you will... mine has ALOT of rust but i need to get it taken 100% apart and sandblastes and fixed so that it will be all good again!

 

mines 180k+ and still running strong... also the engine bay is pretty clean for it's mileage.
