my names dave and im thinking about buying a 89 240sx when i sell my dsm.im new to these cars but am currently looking at buying one with 170,000 miles on it 5 speed and i believe its a single cam.but it needs a head gasket with yours guys knowledge is it worth buying and still being able to make reliable without spending a fortune? any advice would help.

 

Welcome, How much is the car? What would your plans be for it?

 

700$ and just a dd til i get a job for some cash then prob nothin to serious prob just 300hp area

 

welcome to the site man!

 

Good site, lots of info, good luck on the car. It will be alot more fun than any dsm I've ever been around. Except an evo, different breed.

 

ls1 swap that friggen car. i had a lt1 T/A for a very short time (kinda like a super long test drive but thats another story) and there were days where i would leave the 240 in the driveway and rock the trans am instead. it handled like crap compared to the 240, but it was quick. V8 in a 240 will get you 300 horses real quick

 

i own a 95 trans am with 350whp which is eventually gonna be my race car but i want the 240 for a dd or just to drift around a little cuz they do handle nice.But i bought that 240 and it got a bad case of rod knock on the way home so know i gotta swap a new ka24 which im buying tomorow,anyone know anything to look for or pay attention to wen i swap it to save time?

 

welcome thanks for joining

 

My brother bought an 86 T/A with this really worked 350 swap. And it was so powerful, that it didn't even make it home because..well first....the hood flew up on 95 on the way home(FRESHLY PAINTED RAM AIR HOOD. lmao) Then he was just driving and something happened idk what and he spun out and hit a tree. So it never really made it home.

 

so i got the motor and the timing chains kinda sloppy on it but everything else looked good know tomorow i start the swap im hoping everything goes smooth and i can get it done in like 2 days any pointers from any one?

 

so i got the motor pulled today and i was wondering what i can pull out without setting any codes? pulling it was easier than i thought only an hour and a half.also both clucth's are bad anyone know were to get one cheap

 

ummmm last i remember, you wont trip any codes but thats just me, anybody else know??? anddd as far as a clutch. junkyard? (advance, napa or autozone possibly) resurface the flywheel before you change clutches. good luck tho, hope everything goes good for ya!

Sounds like the reason for my purchase of a 240. I wish you luck on your build.

 

obdI you can pull almost everything lol.. OBDII be careful the CEL will come on if you leave something undone.
