1991 Nissan 240SX Base review from North America
"With time and patience, this car will become something great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator:
Sprung a few leaks, eventually changed it to a KOYO OEM radiator.
Water Pump:
Began to cause the car to overheat, changed it a few months back.
Lower Control Arms:
Ball joints are used and abused, plan to replace in a week or so with aftermarket quality parts.
Front Seats:
Were ruined from coffee stains from original owner, using a seat cover to hide the stains, will be replacing the seats with either S14 or S15 seats sometime soon.
Bushings:
Bushing need replacing due to old age. plan to switch to whiteline bushings from PDM-Racing.com.
General comments?
Overall this is a dependable car, I usually drive very fast and very hard, and no matter what type of pressure or stress I put on this engine, it keeps on going, other than what I listed above, which overall isn't so bad for a 14yr old car.
Its dependable and with some touches will be a car to last.
I plan to install a SR20DET or a RB26DETT once my KA24DE engine dies out on me, which from the looks of it, won't be for some time.
