Like I said earlier, good luck finding one close by. I bought the only 5spd 240sx I have seen within 200 miles of here in the past 3 months.
I did see one advertised in Appleton WI, I believe it was black. I posted it on the MIAC boards in The Nissan Forum under marks topic. You may have to race him for it.

Sup,
Hope you find a 240 soon this way, you could start driving a REAL car and not a fake Jap Car. Its all bout handling and power (which US 240sx's Lack), but at least from the get go we have one of them, and with some, not a lot, you can have both. With a honda, you can never achieve either.
Have Fun Here and don't mind me, I just hate Honda's

I dunno dude, My buddies Civic will throw you back into your seat. He could take a 240sx with a stock SR20DET.
I know you were not 100% serious but you can't be a hater of Hondas just because there are alot of riced out ones. With the popularity of the 240sx raising, there will be alot of riced out ones soon enough.

If you people haven't noticed...we should be shunning people that come over to Nissan. They cause the prices for the parts for our cars to be more expensive.
And yes look at all the riced out 240's as it is!

Well, I have noticed that all the suspension and brake stuff is cheaper for Hondas then it is for the 240sx.
Exhausts all seem to be cheaper.
I can get a short shifter for a Honda for $25 the cheapest I can find for a 240sx is $90
My exact same coilovers retail at $1450 for the 240sx and for the Civic they are $1300

I'll show you mine if you show me yours

That so far is the only place I do bussiness. The stuff they carry is the best. They specialize in the 240sx and their Honda stuff is still cheaper. Why? Because more Honda crap is imported into the states, therefore there is more competition and more is made and that drives the cost down. When the cost to make something is cheaper and there is more competition the prices go down. That is basic economics.
