looking for busted 240's, get cheap 93, or go expensive 95?
I personally Like the 95 better, and there is on up on the ebay motors site for $500. yeah, hopefully it stays like that for awhile, and Ill drive out and kiss the guy. Could anyone give me advice as to which model is preferred? I have been out of the forums for awhile.

your preference and if your asking for an opinion haha well thats another story. I like the s13 coupe but i own a s14. its your choice man. You have to look at your aftermarker support too. S13 stuff is relatively cheaper than the s14. And someone correct me if i'm wrong but if you wanted to go the SR20 swap then you have three choices of SR's as apposed to the s14 one choice (2 if you count the blacktop)

The 240 you are talking about has a salvaged title. i don't car what he says it only brings trouble.
*Edit
*** notice the plate is in the window. i imagine it was in a front end collision and he replaced the front end. i wouldn't buy it if i were you unless it was a project car. i believe it most likely has frame damage because of the title. Rust will salvage the title and so will frame damage. Be carefull and decide wisely***

salvage title is something to be wary about unless you know EXACTLY how much damage was done to the car. cant know that without seeing it before it was repaired. also 13 vs 14 is all about your style. the 13 has many more options for stuff you can do to it, but the 14 is a greater challenge for not having as many options (not to mention being a financial challenge). if you like the 240 hatch which can remain a 240 hatch, become a 180sx, a sileighty, or as someone once put it a sil-forty, definately go with the 13. but i cant make up my mind either so in the end i cant say ****.

C-walk just to affirm your post your correct about saying that only 2 SR20's can go in an S14 and 3 can go in the S13. I forget where exactly on this forum I read that but it was posted by either l2aine or land ho, and they're both reputable sources.

sr20det, s13, s14, s15 will swap into any 240sx chasis, its just a matter of how much money you want to spend. I've seen plenty s13 sr20's in s14's and I've seen plenty s14 sr's in s13's. the s15 swap will go into either, its just more expensive

cool, just wondering. I really cant choose between finding a 240, or choosing a hachi. I think there is more potential in the s13's and 14's, but Financially right now I am hurting. Thank you for the advice though
