1998 240sx?
I'm looking around for a car I can work with (turbo, tune, etc.) and possibly just keep my 3g as a DD. What's your opinion on a 1998 Nissan 240sx? Do you have any other recommendations?

Are you planning to build a track car? If so, I agree Rulez. Get something mid-engined. I used to have a Bertone (Fiat) X1/9 and it made for an awesome track car. I really wish I kept it to be honest. They're dirt cheap, and relatively easy to work on.

I second Bitter's post. They are a lot due to Ricer/Drifter wannabe's. Especially the 1989 to I think 1992 fastback versions in Manual. Good luck on that. Funny Automatics are so much cheaper then the Manuals.. I wonder why...

I believe you Bitter.

Just figured I'd throw it out there for a car I rarely see, but can be made into quite the track car.

Maybe the 4 banger, the V6 wasn't so bad. I drove an auto V6 a little, I liked the seating position...on the fucking floor pan about 4 inches over the road.

I believe you can swap in a late mode 3.8 V6 with little fuss, probably even the supercharged ones.

You're absolutely right, Bitter. The supercharged 3.8 goes in with relative ease from my understanding. Making it quite the quick car.

If you decide to go with a 240sx and live in an emissions state, get a 95. Otherwise get a 99 kouki and put an LSx or RB25/26. Good luck. You could always just by my 3g and use it as your fun car. Some would say it's fast.

back on topic.. my brother had been looking for a 240 for a while, and anything cheap-ish, in the $2-5k area, is usually rusted to the point that it's a miracle the car hasn't just folded up on it's self..

How small a budget? Anything less than 5K and you're looking at a civic with a swap.

get a bigger budget then. $7-8K will get you a very nice Celica GTS 6 speed which runs mid 15's with a good driver all day easily.

A kouki 240sx will run you easy over 5k, those cars are rare.

If you're looking to find a budget race/fun car, then go for a Miata, or a AW11 MR2, the cars are super cheap, cheaper to build, and even cheaper to fix, plus they are great driver cars.

Miata or Fox body all day at that price point. No brainer in my opinion.


BTW, I had an 86 Fiero GT when I was in high school, my dad and I (well, mostly my dad ) had swapped in a Cadillac Northstar V8. A lot of fun, and too much fun for the kid I sold it too; he wrapped it around a phone pole after a few months.

I really wanna pick one up when I am older to tinker with.

Hopefully not wrap it around a tree or light pole....

My buddy has two Z32 300's, one TT and the other is NA. If easy maintenance and easy modding is what your looking for then id stay away from them. The engine bay on the TT is crammed as hell, to the point where you need to pull the engine for minor repair jobs. But if that isnt an issue then go for it, the TT's haul. Have you thought about a 3000gt vr-4?

VR4 would be my last choice in terms of 90s Japanese sports cars.

I own a twin turbo Z32, and I will partially agree with you when it comes to modding. Maintenance is pretty straight-forward and the car will last a very long time if you keep it up, but the engine bay is unbelievably cramped and some of the things are a real bitch to work on. However if you choose your mods carefully, you can get fantastic gains from basic bolt-ons that are not invasive and don't require you to pull the engine. Sure, upgrading turbos are a great bang-for-the-buck, but I'm not a fan of pulling the motor to do that. Doing breather mods (dual-MAF Selin intakes, upgraded SMICs , matching piping, full exhaust), ECU, boost controller, bigger injectors and *maybe* 58mm TBs and matching plenum P&P will get you 400-430whp on stock turbos, depending on how much boost you run. That's great reliable power without pulling your engine. There are a few guys running closer to 500whp on stock turbos with 15+ lbs of boost and spray, but I would tell you to just upgrade the turbos at that point and wouldn't recommend that much boost on the stockers.

That is the route I am going for; I already have full exhaust and dualMAF intakes, doing Nismo 740cc injectors and a tune sometime in the next week or two. Ash-Specs and upgraded piping is next. I'd like to hit 400whp, and then leave it alone.

This is my Z. I think 240s are badass cars, a blast to drive, and much easier to work on; in my opinion though the Z is far sexier.

Fucking +1.

Get a Miata. Parts are cheap and they are great track cars.


Awesome shot of the Z, Mark.

You can try an RX-7. Those are fairly decent.

As for a 240, they are pretty fun, from what I've seen from my friend. It was clean until he got into to many drifting accident's. The car has so much bondo on it we nick-named him Bondo-Man.

I'd take one. But finding one up here at a decent price... not likely.

I'd say get a DSM then. They are pretty cheap and easy to mod.

Or you can try to get an old evo to work with. What's you're budget Hysteria?

You can get a decent DSM for around 2k. Like a GSX or GS. I think the GSX has more problem's though.

my friend has a couple 240's, they are alot of fun, they aren't very fast in a straight line but you can get them sideways all day long, i've actually considered getting one but modding 2 cars at once would drain my bank pretty quick

For 5k u can get a real nice boosted 240 just comb craigslist. and you can for sure get a 1st gen 300zx turbo for ur price range. Or a 2nd gen na z32 300zx. Na will ne best if u dont wanna maintain the turbo cars. Just my opinion.

Hey everyone I am looking for a project car/daily what you think about this?

Nissan : 300ZX Nissan : 300ZX | eBay

I don't know shit about the 300zx or the 240sx but I am thinking about going with some form of model between the two. I would like to stay at or under $6,000.

Looks pretty clean, but I'm not a fan of auto's. Personal preference maybe, but my idea of a project car is one where I'm rowing my own gears.
