1989 Nissan 240SX SE Fastback review from North America

"Nissan made a very affordable and upgradeable sports car when they made the 240sx"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

So far my main problem was a bad clutch. it was worn out, so I put a new OEM clutch kit in. Unfortunately, the new clutch kit was faulty, and the clutch plate snapped, and bent around. It then ripped apart the bell housing on the transmission. So I needed to replace the flywheel, clutch kit, and transmission in my driveway. The clutch on this car is very sloppy, that is definitely one thing I don't like.

My rear hatch also has a problem. It came with the factory foam spoiler that collected water and caused the hatch to rust underneath the spoiler. This caused the water to get in the trunk area and has shorted out my reverse lights. I am still trying to figure out how to fix that problem.

The rear end is also very light, in rain or snow, it is very difficult to get traction. I have even put sand bags in the rear to add more weight, and it doesn't help.

I don't like how the automatic seat belts work. They are very slow and can get stuck very easily.

General comments?

This car I a great car.

I originally bought it as a project car. I want to put a JDM SR20DET motor and transmission set up in. I want a turbo charged car with that has great potential. Plus I do not like the fact that this car has a 115mph speed limiter NA motor.

I have driven this car very hard, and it has taken it quite well. I have taken a 90 degree turn that is suppose to be taken at 35mph at 90mph and the car stayed in the same lane with no problems. Handling on it, is very great. I love the tight turn radios that it has.
