Seat belts were a little pricey.
Seat belt motors are dieing.
Bought the car with 15 inch chrome rims with no wheel keys.
Took a lot of money to fix simple damages.
Easy overheating.
Low red line, if you ask me.
Dash has cracked badly.
Windshield chips are pretty bad.
Other than that 240sx's rock the street.
This car is the best cheap sports car.
Bone stock can nail a modified Civic, easy.
Awesome pickup, especially will 5-speed.
Great with burnout other than the non-limited slip, one wheel smokies.
Around corners is the best place for a 240sx, it sticks to the road, went 94mph around a 75 degree turn, fun!
Comfortable ride now, wait until my air ride suspension from KMW performance.
In car comfort, OK if your in front seat.
Every pulled G forces in a bone stock car? Red line 1st and floor 2nd around a turn, can you say dizzy?
I love showing off for the little supped up Civics.
Kicked back on me at 110 mile per hour.
Never used rev-limiter, I will when I get my B Racing one that makes flames!!
U-turns and rain equals fun.
The 1993 SE Coupe with heads up display is the rarest Japanese sports car! Which I have.
Found a good deal on my baby. $2000 with 6 spoke chrome rims, can't beat.
Carpets hard to clean.
Great for stereos, I'm running 2 10's in bandpass with 800 watt amp and air tight trunk. Wow it hits hard.
My 240sx came in an auction, good luck.
I recommend 240sx's to Civic owners, mostly.
Awesome review, man. 15 inch? That's kind of small.
15 inch is the stock rim size, so I guess it is "small" for an upgrade. I have 17's, but not actually by choice (they didn't make 16's in 4x114.3) and I think that any larger wouldn't look good or work out. Let's me run 215/45R17 Dunlop FM901's and I stick like crazy on the corners, couldn't be happier. But honestly, for tire choice and price, 16" is probably the optimum diameter wheel for a 240; width, well wider is better :).
I used to own a 1993 240sx LE. These cars handle incredibly, but that's about it. My friend beat me in his stock 92 Integra. The 240's have the top speed advantage due to the 2.4L high output, but acceleration is lacking. So don't think this car is fast, its not. I used to think so, but now I drive a 275hp trans am. I know now the error of my thinking...
You say that a 240sx isn't fast? I think I can prove you wrong there. I have a close to stock 93 240sx that is running a 13.5 second quarter mile at 111 mph. I have blown away mustang gt's on the highway and the acceleration is incredible. I guess you just need to know wut you are doing with a car to make it fast. Mine now pushes 291whp. Its no car for kids. I love my 240 to death, don't know any other 4 cylinder cars that can beat me anywhere close to where I live.
First of all, the acceleration of this car is AMAZING... especially for a stock 155 hp... i have a 1993 Fastback SE... who cares if it has a governor and limits to 130ish mph... this car is a cornering machine... i took a 350Z
on the canyons... and my car was STOCK! awesome all around car... chick magnet also ;), I don't think ill ever sell mine...
The governor kicks in at 180 km/hr (~110 mph) and shuts down the engine. That is the 'kickback' the original post mentioned.
I have a 95 240sx SE and it IS INCREDIBLE, only a little engine work, a cold air intake and that's about it. I took a 2005 mustang gt the other day.I'm saving up for the sr20det engine... that can blow anything in its way, I don't think ill ever sell mine as well, they have great reliability and run excellent.
I have a 93 LE coupe with heads up display.
How rare is it?
It's a Canadian model with ABS and leather. It has Manual seat belts, when I bought it the driver side seatbelt had been worn out. Nissan Replaced it for free, they told me life time
warranty.
I have had two of these beautiful cars; a white '91 auto and currently a Sapphire Blue '93 5 speed with HUD.
Their beauty is timeless, and I give a big kudos for how well this car was thought out, from the gauge placement to the locking glovebox and gas tank door. Sure, simple things, but isn't that what we come to appreciate most? Oh, and did I mention the HUD? What a great idea! And you got to love the Tach that sits nicely in the middle of it all. Now that's a true sign of a sports car.
The 2.4L will get up and move especially once the limiter is removed. Here's a secret, now that the SR20DET engine is being imported: lookout! Yep, 300+ HP that will swap directly into your existing 240!
And the best part for last. These babies handle like they are on rails! Drop it and add some 17s and you've just created a monster!
Well, like the ads of the early '90s said... ENJOY THE RIDE!
Original post said that the seatbelt motor is slow... THEY ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY LOL, LIFETIME WARRANTY, GO GET THEM REPLACED.
