The list would continue but then I would have to write a book.:(

Alot of people are complaining about it being hard to get into 1st gear and reverse. For getting into first gear if your parked put it in other gears then into 1st, if your going just wait till the gears slow down. Reverse doesnt have syncros so you have to put in into another gear or maybe 1st go forward a little then go backwards. You all probably knew this though...

i think mine is pretty average.
lets see...
cocked front end=hood/bumper/fenders dont line up
amd front is still half primer
bent driverside tierod
custom T-top sunroof with really ****ty body work that leaks like a faucet
mold on back seat floor from wet carpet(removed)
power window buttons but has manual windows.
power mirrors...sike., power mirror button. manual mirrors
broken exhaust that bangs on my subframe
my fenders rattle over bumps
no dash lights what-so-ever
blown shocks
madd camber on my driverside rear wheel
broken pass door handle
pass door like to not shut all the way all the time
i have the death rattle


and for you guys with the pools in the hatches/trunks
remove the 3 inch black round thing.
the water will always drain out

:thumb:

Does drain out before or after it makes it smell so bad you wanna puke?:D

oh yeah.. about the window thing... my driver's side power window.. when it goes all the way down.. it wont come back up until i keep playing with the switch.. usually takes about 30 seconds.. sometimes a minute.. so what i do to prevent this is to roll it down all the way and once it stops, immidately put it up a little bit.. not so much to where it shows but on the way up.. how ghetto is that?? :laugh:

this just in!!
 

happened recently.. turn the steering wheel to the left.. back up.. turn to the right.. 'thud!'.. works both ways.. comin from the left side..

hummm
 

things wrong with my car...
Had a bad tranny but not any more.

I'm so mean.

some little high school prick jacked my 'nissan' emblem in the back (sep.15.2003).. i fixed it.. well.. doesnt look like there was a nissan emblem in the first place.. and i know this isnt something wrong with my car but i finally got that damn 'AAA' sticker off the rear bumper!! woo-hoo!! but my thumbnails hurt like a mutha trucka... :bigok:

lets see.. i have a 89 accord and a 95 s10 and no nissan 240 yet.. does that mean i am a winner, or just a BIG LOSER!?!?!?:p

Dead engine.
locks are seized
but besides that, it looks pretty good!:thumb:

Lets see

Nasty seat rips that were sewed back together
Grinding noise up front when I step on the brakes

dats about it

no radio
dead bugs in back window
door weather stripping won't stay in place

bald tires all around
front tire flat
trip odometer screwed
no fluid in radiator
oil is like Vaseline

needs vacuuming


What isn't wrong
Tranny good
Motor runs
Chassis straight
I only paid $250 for the car

loud ass noise for me when i turn the steering wheel. it's embarrassing. :ugh: :ugh: :ugh:

well mines running prety good besides a few things wrong with it. heres my list:

1. threw a couple rods
2. half of the drivers side block is missing (cooling/ventalation?)
3. smashed up spark plug(smashed flush to the threads)
4. found piston ring laying in E-Bay
5. metal fragments in the intake
6. probobly a messed up crank, pistons, and god knows what
else.


... time for a swap. :dunno: hey, i cant complain though. i got the car for 400$ in this condition, with a damn near perfect body &interior. :bigok:

1. Needs major paintjob - lots of scratches, dents, dings, and a roof that feels like sandpaper
2. The common timing-chain-guide-making-noise crap - next on my list to fix
3. A/C doesn't blow cold when turned on and heater doesn't blow hot - the only thing that comes out is outside temperature air
4. Windshield has this one crack that is like perfectly aligned with where the driver usually looks forward
5. Is your power antenna broken? Mine isn't even THERE. All I have is the hole.
6. Speaking of, there's like 3847297843 holes in the trunk from previous owner's rear wing experimentation (thus part of #1 above)
7. Drop drop drop oil spots in my garage
8. Needs a new steering wheel - if I grip the top part long enough, parts of it will magically stick to my hand
9. I own a 95 Zenki, so "naturally" my headlights are yellowish during the day.
10. Moonroof has a 1/4" gap in the rubber moulding that lets rain drop perfectly centered onto the armrest in the center console.
11. Clutch pedal is squeaky
12. Spare tire wheel is yellow (to match the headlights?) Wait - that's normal. Nevermind :p

...did I mention, I love my car? :thumb:

Things wrong:
Rip in leather backseat.
Rear defroster doesnt work.
Antennae grinds for first 15 secs when turned on.
Rear wiper malfunction (removed).
Splashguards under engine torn.

Things wrong but not really:
Automatic seatbelts.
4-lug.
No LSD.
Needles are not red.
Headlights sorta suck.
License plate holes in bumper.

Happy to say engine is running strong with no problems.

now that i have a 240:

1. two huge, gaping holes (along w/lotsa dried glue) in the hatch from where the spoiler flew off
2. missing passenger's side mirror (not the whole housing, just the mirror)
3. climate control fan not blowing (ac compressor comes on, but nothing coming through the vents
4. tips rusted and fell off of stock muffler
5. only has 2 out of 4 wheel covers
6. windshield cracked
7. "stock" torn driver's seat
8. glove box handle broken; glove box won't open
9. console lid missing
10. shifter boot pretty much toast
11. "stock" broken cruise control (not like i use it ;) )
12. nice fat crack in dashboard
13. trunk lever (by driver's seat) doesn't open the hatch
14. one of the washer fluid nozzles is missing
15. headlights squeek when going up and down
16. rear wiper dead
17. gigantor dent by the fuel door
18. one of my two keys don't work period
19. rotors are sh1t; when brakes are applied, car can damn near shake itself apart
20. paint is faded beyond repair

i can go on, but i think i made my point. regardless, i still love her just the same.:D

Hmmm, let's see . . .

Hatch won't pop (Don't know how to fix)
Front end not aligned properly (probably because I have a 92 front bumper on a 90 240)
Color coding problems (for reason mentioned above)
Bumper has a hole burned in it from the exhaust backfiring and heating
Slight Smoke (might be because of a head gasket??)
head lights wont go down but will go up (:dunno: )
head lights aren't aligned/cannot be aimed properly
Cigarette lighter has gone popola
Idle acts up when cold
Other 240 owners don't like the fact that I have '96 seats and a '92 front end on my 1990 240:D
If it can rattle, it will rattle.
Drifting has caused an unbalance in the: steering column, rear pass. side tire, tie rods etc.


Can you say 200130 Miles!!!!!!!!

That's about it, not too much, mostly just anal crap considering that 99.99 percent of SOHC engines are swapped out.

huge dent on left fender
left headlight doesnt work
bad alignment
no side markers
no windshield wipers
crack on driver side mirror
key holes dont work
weird idle
instrument panel doesnt light up
has a motoroil smell when going fast then stopping
clutch gets stuck
no a/c
no antenna
need new spark plug wires
backfires

not as bad as the other cars
but still pretty bad
already put in 1000 dollars into it, boo

"You don want no problem!"
 

1990 5SPD Nissan 240SX.

Oh man.. this is going to get long and ugly.
-ridiculously dirty engine, engine bay
-Peeping check engine light (comes on for 5 minutes and goes off, occasionally. Checked codes, MAF + Leaky Injector. intermittent problem, most likely circuit/connection problem)
-Loud Valve/Lifter tick on what seems to be 2 or 3 valves.
-Overheating problem (previous owner replaced headgasket). Could be radiator or thermostat+waterpump
-Missing 2 exhaust manifold bolts
-Horrible Horrible GAS mileage. (200 miles per tank city driving)
-Missing under-engine splash guard
-Weird Cold Start warmup idle. Weird cold idle (when it's raining or really really cold)
- slow starter (not too bad.. it cranks and works)
- slight popping noise from exhaust (backfire, but without the flame) easily heard/seen when revving in neutral

-Tapping throwout bearing, worn clutch
-Loud Clunky messed up open differential
-Won't go in reverse sometime (could be clutch slave cylinder)
-squeaky clutch pedal

-clicking strut tops
-Torn CV boots (which might be causing that suspension clicking noise when i turn my steering wheel all the way to the right or left)

-Surface rust in interior under peeled paint (spare tire wheel well area)
-Surface rust on H-Frame nuts/bolts
-Real Rust on one headlight bracket (no big)

-Hatch HISSSSES at high speed.


Anything good out of this outcome?
- I paid $1600 (IN SOCAL)
- it runs.. valve tap won't kill the motor for a loong time. (don't want to spend $$$ on lifters. they cost about the same amount as a used SOHC)
- Clean clean white paint on EXTERIOR only =P
- New brake master cylinder, headgasket, fairly new brake job, fairly new tires (lots of tread). all came with car. oh and a free Pioneer DH-1600 headunit wheeeeh
-Black Rip/Tear-free dash
-i got fed up after 7 months of searching and finally found one.

That is all. thank you.
