1990 Nissan 240SX SE review from North America

"Enveloping"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Before I purchased the car:

Master cylinder replaced.

Things I have replaced:

Core temp. sensor.

Starter.

Front brake rotors and pads.

Front tension rods.

Battery.

Fuel line between fuel filter and steel line (cheap fix, new piece of neoprene line and hose clamps)

Electric antenna.

General comments?

This car is great for a teenager. Excellent handling and reliability with a bulletproof motor.

Though there is a slight amount of vibration between the crankshaft and the rods, it will be sometime before it becomes a significant problem.

Though I must say that it does take some tender care driving this car in the snow and rain. It can come around on you quite quickly if there is wheel spin.

My catalytic converter is beginning to rattle and will need to be replaced one day, but that $600 repair can wait until my next emissions date.

Once I complete a few more general repairs I do hope to add some aftermarket parts. If anyone has a suggestion for a nice exhaust system please email me at nclax904@yahoo.com

This car has ran great for me. I strongly suggest Mobil 1 every 3000 and premium gas on every fill-up as the car does call for a minimum of 91 octane. Spending a little now will save you a lot in the long run.

I love my car and hope to keep it going strong.
