1990 Nissan 240SX SE review from North America

"Inexpensive automotive perfection"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Radiator was leaking when I bought it. Also, the reason the lady I bought it from was selling it was because she thought the injectors were leaking. I could smell gas, and planned on replacing the injectors, but I twisted and pushed them in the holes just for kicks and magicilly they stopped leaking. Oh yeah, the heat/air only blows out of the center vents...weird. The timing chain rattles like a champ when I first start it up. Not driving it until I replace it next weekend along with the water-pump, belts, hoses, and oil pump. Hey, it's an old car and I don't want to get stranded!

General comments?

These little cars are awesome! Even though mine is an automatic its still fun to drive... maybe one day I'll put the faster engine and a manual tranny in. I originally bought this car as a work vehicle to keep the miles off my firebird. I love this car so much I selling my firebird! Anyone want to buy it? Even with 174k on it it runs well and handles excellent. This car is a two seater... the back seat is just for looks. Love the body/inside of this car... still looks modern all these years later. I have been attacking e-bay for aftermarket parts/wheels...I can't wait to start modding this car (I have to sell the bird first; someone buy it please!). Can't say enough good stuff about these cars... I bought it from a lady I work with and I tell her eveyday how much I love it! Everyone thinks I'm crazy for selling my much newer, much nicer firebird for an old, high mileage nissan; but buy one and you'll understand!!! I'll never get rid of this car... but I will buy an s14 to have the best of both 240's. I am very inexperienced with these cars so if anyone can give me hints/ideas on how to make it better please let me know! Peace!
