whats up all, i have just bought a 1990 240 sx and i am wondering if anyone could help me out with some ideas on how to fix it up, or just give me some geral knowlege about my car so i can have a better understanding of what to do.. thanks

 

Whats up man? So...you got a 240sx. Its a great car. So is your car:

5 spd or auto
SOHC or DOHC engine
how many miles
what(if any) aftermarket parts were on it when you bought it?

Let me know so we can talk.
Later

 

welcome to the site. as for your question, care to elaborate any? is there anything in particular that you had in mind? the guys here are some of the most knowledgable that you will find in the 240 community. but it would help if you gave a clue as to specifically what you wanted to know. when you say 'fix it up', are you referring to maintenance, looks, or performance? when asking about information, what are u looking for? motor specs, drivetrain, suspension, braking system, electric, electronic, interior, exterior, curb weight, wheelbase, length, height, wheel size, lug pattern, part numbers for replacement... i'm sure u'll find the answers ur looking for... just make sure u ask the right questions. again, welcome!

 

Welcome and as for everything else Sil40 hit it on the head. So ask away

 

Welcome to the forums

 

yes, yes.. very welcome ;]

 

thats for all the post, and yea i want to know more about performance and looks, and i want to know like everthing i could possibly take in at one time about the car, i have been rading up on it but all i can find is cars all ready hooked up so i just need know were to start.. thanks 4 all the post and i look forward to your help

 

no prob. like i said before, tell us what u wanna know (in detail), and u'll get hooked up properly.

 

Yeah, every one here is experienced in one aspect or the other of the 240sx. All you need to do is be specific on what you want to know and we would all be more than happy to help you.

 

ok what should be my first step i should make u makin my car better or like what should i like read up on somethin, forgive me if iam not bein specific but like iam just confused about everything and were to start.

 

ok, first things first. what shape is the ride in? motor strong? blowing smoke? burning oil? shocks warn? any electrical problems? body damage? rust spots? is the exhaust about to fall off? brakes? tires? timing/timing chain/timing chain guide? clutch? interior? in short, if ur confused about where to start, it never hurts to cure ur baby of any sicknesses...

 

my pc has been all messed so i havnt been able to alpy to the thread, yea my car runs fun it has a lil dent in the side but u can barley see it but it still bothers me but engine is strong and it runs good so what do guys think i should do next

 

get some suspension then go 4 a sr20 CA18DET or a turo'd KA

opps for got the RB's

wheels are a good choice too

all depends what ur into performance or style

 

sound advice. i'd also like to add that if performance is where ur going, then along w/the suspension, look into some i/h/e options. especially if ur not gonna do an engine swap anytime soon. u might wanna think about brakes, too. things like quality rotors (solid, slotted, and/or drilled), pads, and steel braided brake lines. also, if ur planning on doing any racing, consider buying some track time or even checking out some clinics at events.

if looks are ur concern, then u can work on that dent (maybe touch up paint the area). perhaps a conversion of some sort (front-end, tail light, rhd)? new paint? shave this and that? body kit? re-upholster(sp?) the interior? new steering wheel? shift ****? short shifter? engine dress up stuff?

that's all i can think of right now. hope that's good enuff to get u started!

 

thanks 4 the help yea iam workin on the dent this week end and the interior and a new shifter *** and petals are next keep the ideas comin hopefully i will keep makin money
