1991 Nissan 240SX SE Fastback review from North America
"A reliable cheap sleeper!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My brake cylinder O-ring was leaking and needed to be replaced.
I've replaced two alternators.
I've replaced the starter, twice - not fun!
General comments?
The car really comes to life with the additions of after market parts. I have an intake, exhaust, and have had the computer tuned, and the car really cooks now.
The brakes though, are highly inadequate for the car. If pushed, they will warp and fade.
The handling is crisp and accurate, although I've lowered the car 1.5 inches, to add to the fun.
For all the performance aspects, I still can get almost 30 MPG, on the highway and around 22 in the city.
