I'm literally working on mine right now, I love my 240 to death, mine is like 80% stock so I only gotta chase a few gremlins with poorly done mods, my biggest problem is rust from it always being in southern Ontario
I would recommend the cefiro it basically a four door 240sx or a skyline it share the same chassis as R32 along with the front and back suspension and engine
Sometimes the USA gets a better car than Japan does, but obviously the Silvia is a different story. Every Subaru WRX sold there, except for the rare 22B was given a 2.0L engine. Many American versions had a 2.5L engine. The 1985 Nissan Maxima was an interesting case. They were unreliable as hell because they crammed a 3.0L NA V6 engine into a tiny engine bay. However, in Japan, they had to cram a 2.0L NA V6 into the same space, so I'm sure that their Maxima was far worse. Other times it isn't Japan's fault that the USA misses out. The fuel octane here is lower, and the smog tests are tougher. I am certain that the #1 reason the Mazda RX-7TT was cancelled in 1995 was because of smog tests getting even stricter in 1996. If it wasn't, the RX-7 might have stayed in the USA for a while longer.
@@BeyondLeaf1 I bought a s13 that was in a crash. Welded up the front and said im just gonna do a 5 speed swap...now its fully gutted and the engine is being rebuilt.
I'd get a 240SX because it's just such a good all-around car! Sure, everyone demands it because "dRiFt CaR", but it's a cheap, reliable, and fun to drive! not to mention it's also fairly economical and subtle in design. It's not a flashy car, yet also not a completely common looking car.
@@insanetaco98 i care to disagree tho, ive been daily driving mine for almost 4 years now no problems. All the money i spend on it isnt needed in any way, and i would've spend that on any other car aswell Ofcourse i spend money on suspension, subframes, bushings, bigger brakes etc etc. But non of those are needed to enjoy the car imo. So ofcourse you'll dump money into it getting it to suit your needs and style, but wouldn't you do the same on any other car you'd own?

My aunt bought a 240SX back in the day (IBM Engineer) and it was friggin' dope - she picked me up from school in it and *everyone* was jelly lol... Funny how it exploded into one of the most sought after tuner cars today.
I bought my 1990 240sx for $1,300. It only has 125,000 miles and runs and drives just fine. Has a clean title and I am the third owner. They last guy had it sitting in a garge for 12 years. Still has a cracked dash tho And you were spot on, I’m 17
@@spacefleming5390 Better headlight designs made it easy to get good light patterns without ruining the aerodynamics. Popups were more common when good beam patterns could only be made by headlights that aren't aerodynamic. In addition, there was another huge benefit from eliminating popup headlights. It was one less thing to go wrong. Back when popups were common, it was also common to see cars with one light stuck open and one light stuck closed.
Yoo, you gotta import. I'm sitting over here in Japan. Trust me when I tell you that they are sitting in garages right now. I could roll through the outskirts of Tokyo right now and find a lot full of them. Alex is right though. They tune em all. If you want one, you'll need someone who knows how to inspect them. If the owner or dealer is not willing to lift the car and let you check the underbody and suspension, walk away. If your contact can't get you a video of it running and pics of the engine bay, walk away. Personally, I'd rather have an 86 or BRZ before I go for a used 240. There are plenty of those that have never seen a wall, cause the owners were never satisfied with the power output nor did they want to drop another 10k USD into one.
Luckily I found one just needing it's interior harness in. Guy burned out a stuck window switch..ugh. Although I clean it up and replace it's door panel drivers side. Traded for a 1969 C10 GMC. Not bad. 140k in mileage.
I bought my 100% stock 1989 240sx off some lady that had it sitting for 10 years for $1k clean title and from the original owner, it was automatic though.
to go from sohc to dohc is it just swapping the power steering lines and tach from a dohc cluster right? i’m currently half way into this swap and trying to figure out how i can keep AC working lol.
I got the same deal from an old man, but it was a 1989 Manual 5-speed hatchback!! Looks like I win 😎 Haha, jokes aside - it's nice to get deals like these.
Had my 93 180sx for half a year now with the sr20det, coming from a Toyota gt86 it actually feels like an upgrade. Handles like a dream, plenty of power and looks so damn fine. Would recommend buying, just drive one and you will know.
Exactly! Lol. I've owned a red S14 Zenki 240sx. Very clean and beautiful. But shit man, they have way too many problems! They're too old. I'm sorry. I only recommend one if your using it for a weekend driver.
@@jmreviews3734 What? Too many problems? Doesnt have any more problems than other cars from that time lmao. I've daily driven my S13 for years now, whetever you get a money hole or not depends on if it has been taken care of in the past. S-chassis gets a bad rep cuz of clueless people who beat the shit out of them or do other goofy shit.
@@TokyoDesperadoLMAO. Yeah but mine was in beautiful condition. I took very great care of it. The problems that I had with it was blue smoke coming out of the exhaust, the car sometimes wouldn't turn on for god knows what, the passenger door handle wouldn't work, the car would shut down sometimes. All of those repairs would cost more than how much I actually got the car. That's why I sold it.
@@jmreviews3734 It clearly wasn't in "beautiful condition" then. Maybe you took care of it but the previous owners haven't seemed to done that. Also those issues aren't even exclusive to 240sx anyways lmao
I own a 1995 s14 and I’m loving it, daily driven and never pushed it too hard. It’s seen the track a couple times but I want to keep it alive as long as possible. Full Vertex Lang kit, Work Emotion CR, and it’s on Air. Intake and exhaust are all I have, besides that it’s all stock in and out with no cracked dash
I've had my 200sx RS13U (european spec, which comes with the CA18DET) for 14 years. I bought it from an 82 year old man, Mr Price, who stayed in my home town, Cape Town South Africa. He imported it brand new in 1992 from Belgium to South Africa. I bought it from him (I was the second owner from brand new) for R18 000 ($1158) in 2008, it had 78 000km (48 000 miles) Full service history, everything was OEM, including the rims, radio, sunroof bag, full tool kit and jack and some other OEM goodies from Nissan in Belgium. After 14 years of ownership, she still puts a smile on my face, hearing the turbo and exhaust sound. Looking at her all polished and clean always makes me think what a beautiful car that Japanese made. My 200sx still is OEM, with a full service history, original radiator, original shocks, original springs (never cut), still stock height, original rims, original midnight blue paint, the only upgrade i ever did to my car, was a stainless steel exhaust and T28/T25 turbo, original exhaust manifold, original injectors. She is making a reliable 158kws and 285nm. The current milage is a very healthy 184 000kms (114 332 miles) still full service history, i change the oil and oil filter every 5000kms (3100 miles).

I spent about six years and 18k building a 350hp S13 for the local drift events on Oahu. They closed our track and I fell into hard times so I sold it for pennies.... I regret it almost daily. Today I drive a BEAUTIFUL 2018 STI, slammed, nice wheels, I love it. But the 240 is my first love. I will have one again. I need that car back in my life someday.
Back in 1993, my friend bought (well...his dad bought one for him) a brand new 1993 coupe in red with manual trans - and he was just a sophomore at highschool - got his license for 16th birthday and that was his first car. We had a blast! At our school parking lot, the import show was on virtually every day - Honda 'Lude, CRX with HKS kits, Integras with Mugens, MR2 & Celica with Akimoto systems, 200SX and 240SX Musashi, Mazda RX with blown PChargers...this was all driven by kids at our high school. And there I was, right at the center of it, with my dad's Buick! And I ruled them all :D Gosh I am so glad that I was a teen during the 90s...
You guys should name this series “Alex ruins everything”😂 Great show, I appreciate the fact that you guys give the side that people don’t always want to hear just to keep things real.
Proud 2nd owner of a lightly modified CDM 1995 S14 with a build date of May 1994. Owned since 2005 @ 83,000km. I might be the exception, but this car rules!
So many things were just right when I found my S14. Completely stock, everything on the car and full interior. Low price and clean title. 225000 miles but that's fine. Full suspension rebuild will be done soon (rear subframe is out right now). Then fresh RB swap and paint. Absolutely love the car!
My first car... I paid$670 ;D a black with grey interior 1989 nissan 240sx coupe se.... 125k miles 3 owners, me being the fourth, i can't believe how lucky i was... still got it!
I just bought a s13 hatch as a daily off of the 2nd owner, completely stock, 5 speed, clean title for 1400. It just needed a radiator and a water pump. Absolutely love the car and would highly suggest buying one before they cost you your left nut.
I've had my 98 s14 for 10 years now (spent a great portion on jack stands between engine swaps/ mods) and the only time I ever get bored of it is when im not driving it. I love it.
1993 nissan 240sx was my 2nd car at 21 years old. Automatic with the trunk , electric seat belts, sunroof and digital speedometer on the windshield lol. I paid $1400 in the bronx ny for it. Loved it. I miss it.
I found one for $11.5k with 90k miles, clean title, had only 2 previous owners, in a nice red, no mismatched colored panels. I am happy, and ready to mod lol!!

I had gone through 5 project cars by the time I was 19. 63 Nova, 64 Nova, 71 Vega with Small Block Chevy, 70 351 Cleveland cougar, 67 Cougar then ended up with a saturn, haha. After 2 years of that, I bought a pearl white 96 240sx, brand new. At this time, I was an engine machinist (7 years) for JMS Racing Engines in Monrovia Ca. I used to do all the block work for JG Engine Dynamics here in SoCal. After 3 years, I bought a new 99 mustang cobra. Ended up with a live axle swap and a blown, 500rwhp, in it's most powerful configuration, which was one of many. Then came the 87 Buick Grand National. That was fun but a total loss. After a few daily drivers, now I'm in a black Audi A4 premium with no mods. I have a 6 year old son now who's into cars and has no idea of my background. I want to buy a project car for us, and the Nissan 240 comes to mind. The owner of JG Engine Dynamics said he had a customer with a 240 like mine, with cams and a turbo that ran 11.8. This is in 1997 and I know mods have come a long way. I'm just wondering if it's worth it. I've been working on cars my whole life, but I dont want to have a car that's going to make me miserable. What do you all think?
Picking mine up in 4 days! ('97, one owner) Wanted one since the S14 models came out but was too young/not enough money to buy it new but luckily I found one in awesome condition for a great price.
I just got my s14 week ago and the car was amazing it's automatic,clean title, engine and transmission was rebuilt and it has 164k and the condition is 9 out of 10 owner keep it on the garage all time
A few years ago, someone asked "Who to blame for the R34 not being sold in the USA?" I said "Blame the guy who nerfed the Silvia and turned it into the Nissan 240SX." I felt that guy's road rage, because when I first realized what the R34 GTR was, I would do anything to get it. I remember in 1998 I hung out with a few anime fans. We used the internet to find what was made different in the USA, and this was before Google was so influential. I didn't believe it when I read about a 2.0L turbo engine. Although the nerfed Silvia maintained a heavy drift tax, the Mazda RX-7 Twin Turbo was even more heavily taxed. Some consider it to be the best car to drive sideways in history. Also, if it costs a fortune to repair a 240SX, then it costs an entire estate to repair an RX7TT. I do hope to buy a Evo X MR, and hopefully by the time I can afford it, I won't be driving a car that is full of mechanical hack repairs.
Another reason you might want 240SX (S13 Liftback): Need For Speed series. Because damn that car IS good in Underground 2 (full 100% campaign with 240SX and Escalade), Carbon (I actually completed full 100% campaign with only 240SX, including Darius) and ProStreet (Used it as a Drift Car, it was so good)... I wonder if I'll be able to EJ-swap it, though... Edit: slowfix
I never imagined someone would try to swap a Subaru engine into any kind of Nissan. The only Subaru swaps I ever hear of were in VWs. The Vanagon often gets a Subaru engine swap because the VW WBX engine was horrible. People can fit the Vanagon with something other than a boxer engine, however, they have to raise the engine cover and lose interior space.
@@skylinefever Yeah, it is something I just wanna try to do for shits and giggles. And if it works, I'll try to drift it.) Except that is not gonna happen in a while, unfortunately... Otherwise I'll probably leave SR20DET in it.
I bought two of them in the last 6 months, both clean title, fairly stock, one s13 and one s14....and I paid $1800 for the s13, and $4500 for the s14. So thank you, Alex, I definitely needed that confidence boost this morning.
I first got my 240 when I was 15, this was 2018/2019. It’s been sitting in a garage in Texas that whole time, and this weekend, the second weekend of February 2022, I’m finally going to bring it to my house in Arkansas. Super excited to turbo the KA and not drift it into a wall.
My dad was a finance director when these cars were new, he said they collected dust mostly. Especially the convertible. His dealership had one sit on the lot for 3 years. They eventually sold it for $5k under invoice just to get rid of it.
I just got a 90 coupe , it’s a drift bucket . Picked it up on a deal but she’s a solid runner . Definitely easiest car to drift that I have ever driven . I highly approve of anyone wanting buying one . Engine bay is really easy to work around and not to mention how stout the KA motor is , Little thing takes a beating and keeps running . I give 240s a 10/10 rating 🤙🏾
All 100% good points. It's nearly impossible to find one in normal condition. Only way is to buy someone's junk abandoned project or riced out and full of Bondo, and then you have spend serious money if you want to make it really clean and nice. I like it but not sure if I would get into it, I'd have to have at least 20k ready that's for sure... But then there are so many options if are looking to spend that amount, you have to be a true fan I guess
One rule for the Datsun 280ZXT was that you had to idle the engine for 2 minutes after driving, otherwise the turbo would be destroyed by sludge. This was because they didn't have water cooled bearings back then, and oil technology wasn't great. Turbo timers got popular back then, that way you could get out of your car, lock all the doors, and still have the car idle for 2 minutes. This might not be needed anymore with modern synthetic oils. I think that the 280ZX NA and turbo models required an unfolded paper clip to diagnose the check engine light, and there were no better options. I'm not sure if the car was built before really good diagnostic tools existed, or if those tools were rare and super expensive. Tools for most American cars of the time weren't too expensive and were common, and I don't know if it was caused by the market share of American cars, or if Nissan built better computerized engines than the USA. German car diagnostic tools also weren't as difficult to find. I have heard that one solution is to have a 300ZX computer reflashed to work with the 280ZX. That kind of computer had much better diagnostics. That swap also required the vane type MAF to be replaced by a heated wire MAF. That got you a few extra horsepower because a vane type MAF can be a big intake restriction when compared to a heated wire MAF. In addition, if you ever needed to replace your sensor, a heated wire MAF costs far less than a vane type MAF. Another problem was related to spark timing. The 1981 model had a different system than the 1982 and 1983 models, and it is easier to swap the 1982 and 1983 parts into a 1981, and finding parts that fit a 1981 are close to impossible. I have also heard of people using parts from the VG30E found in Maximas from 1985 to 1994. I have heard that the digital gauges on the 280ZX and 280ZXT were a trouble spot. Often there is a "Police speedometer calibration shop" in a generic industrial park, and you can get your digital gauges repaired at an affordable price. Cars that old will even have an analog display fail, thankfully, analog displays are less expensive to fix. You might need a phone book to find it. I discovered this when working in a used car lot. I think most analog cars typically cost $150 to fix and digital ones typically cost $250 to fix. I once had to get a new oil pressure sender for a Z31 Nissan 300ZX once, and the parts guy would have to ask which one of 4 types the car needed. I'm sure the 280ZX would have the same needs. 1. NA engine, analog gauges 2. NA engine, digital gauges 3. Turbo engine, analog gauges 4. Turbo engine, digital gauges
@@skylinefever my papa is working on the Datsun 280ZX turbo and this information would be really useful. Do you mind telling me where you found the info or if it's just knowledge? Because he is working on a 280Z and my stepdad's 280ZX turbo. We had a parts car full of stuff that he's trying to sell on eBay for great prices and if you really need anything he's got a bunch, but with your information I'm going to tell him and it's probably going to help him a lot so thank you.
@@prism7164 I just happen to browse Nissan forums across the entire internet looking for news articles. Other times, the computer and MAF conversions kits were sold by certain parts companies like Jim Wold Tech. I heard about Jim Wolf Tech when learning about the Nissan 300ZXTT.
I bought my 95 240sx in 2006 for $1,500... Its stock has all the original body parts for the most part and few ruse spots here and there. I never realized this car would become what it is today, btw I'm keeping the KA.
I got my first 240SX as my first car when I was 16 17 years old back in 2003 2004 Before Tokyo drift was even a thing I like the car because of initial d. It was down the street from my house a guy was selling it at his boat shop for his friend that left town and I spent $1,500 on it. After I was hooked I bought four 240s after that through the years and loved it sooo much. I moved over to the 350z platform currently owning my second one because of the drift tax I haven't bought another one yet. I can't spend that much knowing what I've paid in the past and what they really are worth, what people have done to them in the past its just ridiculous to pay that much money.
Loved Alex's intro. I drove a USDM 240 when it was new. Thought it handled beautifully, but didn't care for the powertrain. Too many hands in the engine bay is the main problem with buying an Evo. Most have had a multitude of owners each of whom modded, then demodded the car, and the next guy did the same thing. All the while knowing virtually nothing about the platform and naturally doing his own work.
this video is way to accurate.. I will some good news tho. 1yr ago i bought my first s13 for 1500 over 3 payments.... came with coil overs installed, roll cage installed, and the girl gave me an extra clutch and clutch fly...... she was having a hard time selling because people wanted to low ball her cause the car couldnt hold an idle and it was missing the glass for the rear view mirrors. 20 bucks at orileys for some cheap temproary mirrors and 30 seconds putting the idle screw back in place... now i have one of my dream cars. drift missile tax is real but you can still find gems out there for good prices.
All these reasons is why I went with a foxbody instead of an S chassis. Same parts availability, already make 200hp, only weighs 200lbs more and most importantly there was not drift tax on them in 2011... Now we have Barrett Jackson/Mecum tax on them though.

US: nukes japan twice
Japan: NO cool cars for you
Sometimes the USA gets a better car than Japan does, but obviously the Silvia is a different story. Every Subaru WRX sold there, except for the rare 22B was given a 2.0L engine. Many American versions had a 2.5L engine.
The 1985 Nissan Maxima was an interesting case. They were unreliable as hell because they crammed a 3.0L NA V6 engine into a tiny engine bay. However, in Japan, they had to cram a 2.0L NA V6 into the same space, so I'm sure that their Maxima was far worse.
Other times it isn't Japan's fault that the USA misses out. The fuel octane here is lower, and the smog tests are tougher. I am certain that the #1 reason the Mazda RX-7TT was cancelled in 1995 was because of smog tests getting even stricter in 1996. If it wasn't, the RX-7 might have stayed in the USA for a while longer.

My aunt bought a 240SX back in the day (IBM Engineer) and it was friggin' dope - she picked me up from school in it and *everyone* was jelly lol... Funny how it exploded into one of the most sought after tuner cars today.
They blew up in price because of the Japanese “aesthetic” but in reality shit cars on todays road
I bought my 1990 240sx for $1,300. It only has 125,000 miles and runs and drives just fine. Has a clean title and I am the third owner. They last guy had it sitting in a garge for 12 years. Still has a cracked dash tho

@@spacefleming5390 Better headlight designs made it easy to get good light patterns without ruining the aerodynamics. Popups were more common when good beam patterns could only be made by headlights that aren't aerodynamic.
In addition, there was another huge benefit from eliminating popup headlights. It was one less thing to go wrong. Back when popups were common, it was also common to see cars with one light stuck open and one light stuck closed.

Yoo, you gotta import. I'm sitting over here in Japan. Trust me when I tell you that they are sitting in garages right now. I could roll through the outskirts of Tokyo right now and find a lot full of them. Alex is right though. They tune em all. If you want one, you'll need someone who knows how to inspect them. If the owner or dealer is not willing to lift the car and let you check the underbody and suspension, walk away. If your contact can't get you a video of it running and pics of the engine bay, walk away. Personally, I'd rather have an 86 or BRZ before I go for a used 240. There are plenty of those that have never seen a wall, cause the owners were never satisfied with the power output nor did they want to drop another 10k USD into one.
Where you from g?
How do you import a 240sx? I've searched on Google but its not really pointing in any directions
@@A_Marker pretty sure he's referring to a 180SX

Had my 93 180sx for half a year now with the sr20det, coming from a Toyota gt86 it actually feels like an upgrade. Handles like a dream, plenty of power and looks so damn fine. Would recommend buying, just drive one and you will know.
From all the 240 owners I know they all say the same thing.... “it’s a headache”
Exactly! Lol. I've owned a red S14 Zenki 240sx. Very clean and beautiful. But shit man, they have way too many problems! They're too old. I'm sorry. I only recommend one if your using it for a weekend driver.
@@jmreviews3734 What? Too many problems? Doesnt have any more problems than other cars from that time lmao. I've daily driven my S13 for years now, whetever you get a money hole or not depends on if it has been taken care of in the past. S-chassis gets a bad rep cuz of clueless people who beat the shit out of them or do other goofy shit.
@@TokyoDesperadoLMAO. Yeah but mine was in beautiful condition. I took very great care of it. The problems that I had with it was blue smoke coming out of the exhaust, the car sometimes wouldn't turn on for god knows what, the passenger door handle wouldn't work, the car would shut down sometimes. All of those repairs would cost more than how much I actually got the car. That's why I sold it.
@@jmreviews3734 It clearly wasn't in "beautiful condition" then. Maybe you took care of it but the previous owners haven't seemed to done that. Also those issues aren't even exclusive to 240sx anyways lmao
@UCdy3rvvwvlN9si1xpB3y7Gg I 100% agree with you! I currently drive a 2001 Miata. Haven't had problems since.
I own a 1995 s14 and I’m loving it, daily driven and never pushed it too hard. It’s seen the track a couple times but I want to keep it alive as long as possible. Full Vertex Lang kit, Work Emotion CR, and it’s on Air. Intake and exhaust are all I have, besides that it’s all stock in and out with no cracked dash
Same. I have a 95 s14 white all original. I drive it daily to work and people stop to ask me if I’m selling it almost every day 😂
I've had my 200sx RS13U (european spec, which comes with the CA18DET) for 14 years. I bought it from an 82 year old man, Mr Price, who stayed in my home town, Cape Town South Africa. He imported it brand new in 1992 from Belgium to South Africa. I bought it from him (I was the second owner from brand new) for R18 000 ($1158) in 2008, it had 78 000km (48 000 miles) Full service history, everything was OEM, including the rims, radio, sunroof bag, full tool kit and jack and some other OEM goodies from Nissan in Belgium.
After 14 years of ownership, she still puts a smile on my face, hearing the turbo and exhaust sound. Looking at her all polished and clean always makes me think what a beautiful car that Japanese made.
My 200sx still is OEM, with a full service history, original radiator, original shocks, original springs (never cut), still stock height, original rims, original midnight blue paint, the only upgrade i ever did to my car, was a stainless steel exhaust and T28/T25 turbo, original exhaust manifold, original injectors. She is making a reliable 158kws and 285nm. The current milage is a very healthy 184 000kms (114 332 miles) still full service history, i change the oil and oil filter every 5000kms (3100 miles).

I spent about six years and 18k building a 350hp S13 for the local drift events on Oahu. They closed our track and I fell into hard times so I sold it for pennies.... I regret it almost daily. Today I drive a BEAUTIFUL 2018 STI, slammed, nice wheels, I love it. But the 240 is my first love. I will have one again. I need that car back in my life someday.
Back in 1993, my friend bought (well...his dad bought one for him) a brand new 1993 coupe in red with manual trans - and he was just a sophomore at highschool - got his license for 16th birthday and that was his first car. We had a blast! At our school parking lot, the import show was on virtually every day - Honda 'Lude, CRX with HKS kits, Integras with Mugens, MR2 & Celica with Akimoto systems, 200SX and 240SX Musashi, Mazda RX with blown PChargers...this was all driven by kids at our high school. And there I was, right at the center of it, with my dad's Buick! And I ruled them all :D Gosh I am so glad that I was a teen during the 90s...

I had gone through 5 project cars by the time I was 19. 63 Nova, 64 Nova, 71 Vega with Small Block Chevy, 70 351 Cleveland cougar, 67 Cougar then ended up with a saturn, haha. After 2 years of that, I bought a pearl white 96 240sx, brand new. At this time, I was an engine machinist (7 years) for JMS Racing Engines in Monrovia Ca. I used to do all the block work for JG Engine Dynamics here in SoCal. After 3 years, I bought a new 99 mustang cobra. Ended up with a live axle swap and a blown, 500rwhp, in it's most powerful configuration, which was one of many. Then came the 87 Buick Grand National. That was fun but a total loss. After a few daily drivers, now I'm in a black Audi A4 premium with no mods.
I have a 6 year old son now who's into cars and has no idea of my background. I want to buy a project car for us, and the Nissan 240 comes to mind. The owner of JG Engine Dynamics said he had a customer with a 240 like mine, with cams and a turbo that ran 11.8. This is in 1997 and I know mods have come a long way. I'm just wondering if it's worth it. I've been working on cars my whole life, but I dont want to have a car that's going to make me miserable. What do you all think?
Picking mine up in 4 days! ('97, one owner) Wanted one since the S14 models came out but was too young/not enough money to buy it new but luckily I found one in awesome condition for a great price.
I’m telling you ya gotta do one on the mazdaspeed 3

Yes they are kind of neat little cars.
I jus found and bought, a 1991 coupe LE 58000km (30000miles) 1 owner, completely rust free and garage kept! 5speed, everything works flawlessly!
This guy is the king of talking about what he wants to say instead of saying it.
I just got my s14 week ago and the car was amazing it's automatic,clean title, engine and transmission was rebuilt and it has 164k and the condition is 9 out of 10 owner keep it on the garage all time
A few years ago, someone asked "Who to blame for the R34 not being sold in the USA?" I said "Blame the guy who nerfed the Silvia and turned it into the Nissan 240SX." I felt that guy's road rage, because when I first realized what the R34 GTR was, I would do anything to get it.
I remember in 1998 I hung out with a few anime fans. We used the internet to find what was made different in the USA, and this was before Google was so influential. I didn't believe it when I read about a 2.0L turbo engine.
Although the nerfed Silvia maintained a heavy drift tax, the Mazda RX-7 Twin Turbo was even more heavily taxed. Some consider it to be the best car to drive sideways in history. Also, if it costs a fortune to repair a 240SX, then it costs an entire estate to repair an RX7TT.
I do hope to buy a Evo X MR, and hopefully by the time I can afford it, I won't be driving a car that is full of mechanical hack repairs.
Another reason you might want 240SX (S13 Liftback): Need For Speed series.
Because damn that car IS good in Underground 2 (full 100% campaign with 240SX and Escalade), Carbon (I actually completed full 100% campaign with only 240SX, including Darius) and ProStreet (Used it as a Drift Car, it was so good)...
I wonder if I'll be able to EJ-swap it, though...
Edit: slowfix
I never imagined someone would try to swap a Subaru engine into any kind of Nissan. The only Subaru swaps I ever hear of were in VWs. The Vanagon often gets a Subaru engine swap because the VW WBX engine was horrible. People can fit the Vanagon with something other than a boxer engine, however, they have to raise the engine cover and lose interior space.
@@skylinefever Yeah, it is something I just wanna try to do for shits and giggles. And if it works, I'll try to drift it.) Except that is not gonna happen in a while, unfortunately... Otherwise I'll probably leave SR20DET in it.

I first got my 240 when I was 15, this was 2018/2019. It’s been sitting in a garage in Texas that whole time, and this weekend, the second weekend of February 2022, I’m finally going to bring it to my house in Arkansas. Super excited to turbo the KA and not drift it into a wall.
Thats exciting to hear! Make sure to get some goodies, you know where to find us. 👀 -Edgar
My dad was a finance director when these cars were new, he said they collected dust mostly. Especially the convertible. His dealership had one sit on the lot for 3 years. They eventually sold it for $5k under invoice just to get rid of it.
The convertible is ugly . Was the dealer in a place far away that no one knew it existed??
I just got a 90 coupe , it’s a drift bucket . Picked it up on a deal but she’s a solid runner . Definitely easiest car to drift that I have ever driven . I highly approve of anyone wanting buying one . Engine bay is really easy to work around and not to mention how stout the KA motor is , Little thing takes a beating and keeps running . I give 240s a 10/10 rating 🤙🏾
All 100% good points. It's nearly impossible to find one in normal condition. Only way is to buy someone's junk abandoned project or riced out and full of Bondo, and then you have spend serious money if you want to make it really clean and nice. I like it but not sure if I would get into it, I'd have to have at least 20k ready that's for sure... But then there are so many options if are looking to spend that amount, you have to be a true fan I guess
So you want a Datsun (240/260/280z)
Possibly feature a 280zx
My step dad has one ....Datsun 280zx turbo
I own a 1983 280zx turbo. As well. 50,000 original miles. Have always wanted a Z but the ZX’s aren’t as bad as painted out to be
One rule for the Datsun 280ZXT was that you had to idle the engine for 2 minutes after driving, otherwise the turbo would be destroyed by sludge. This was because they didn't have water cooled bearings back then, and oil technology wasn't great. Turbo timers got popular back then, that way you could get out of your car, lock all the doors, and still have the car idle for 2 minutes. This might not be needed anymore with modern synthetic oils.
I think that the 280ZX NA and turbo models required an unfolded paper clip to diagnose the check engine light, and there were no better options. I'm not sure if the car was built before really good diagnostic tools existed, or if those tools were rare and super expensive. Tools for most American cars of the time weren't too expensive and were common, and I don't know if it was caused by the market share of American cars, or if Nissan built better computerized engines than the USA. German car diagnostic tools also weren't as difficult to find. I have heard that one solution is to have a 300ZX computer reflashed to work with the 280ZX. That kind of computer had much better diagnostics. That swap also required the vane type MAF to be replaced by a heated wire MAF. That got you a few extra horsepower because a vane type MAF can be a big intake restriction when compared to a heated wire MAF. In addition, if you ever needed to replace your sensor, a heated wire MAF costs far less than a vane type MAF. Another problem was related to spark timing. The 1981 model had a different system than the 1982 and 1983 models, and it is easier to swap the 1982 and 1983 parts into a 1981, and finding parts that fit a 1981 are close to impossible. I have also heard of people using parts from the VG30E found in Maximas from 1985 to 1994.
I have heard that the digital gauges on the 280ZX and 280ZXT were a trouble spot. Often there is a "Police speedometer calibration shop" in a generic industrial park, and you can get your digital gauges repaired at an affordable price. Cars that old will even have an analog display fail, thankfully, analog displays are less expensive to fix. You might need a phone book to find it. I discovered this when working in a used car lot. I think most analog cars typically cost $150 to fix and digital ones typically cost $250 to fix.
I once had to get a new oil pressure sender for a Z31 Nissan 300ZX once, and the parts guy would have to ask which one of 4 types the car needed. I'm sure the 280ZX would have the same needs.
1. NA engine, analog gauges
2. NA engine, digital gauges
3. Turbo engine, analog gauges
4. Turbo engine, digital gauges
@@skylinefever my papa is working on the Datsun 280ZX turbo and this information would be really useful. Do you mind telling me where you found the info or if it's just knowledge? Because he is working on a 280Z and my stepdad's 280ZX turbo. We had a parts car full of stuff that he's trying to sell on eBay for great prices and if you really need anything he's got a bunch, but with your information I'm going to tell him and it's probably going to help him a lot so thank you.

I got my first 240SX as my first car when I was 16 17 years old back in 2003 2004 Before Tokyo drift was even a thing I like the car because of initial d. It was down the street from my house a guy was selling it at his boat shop for his friend that left town and I spent $1,500 on it. After I was hooked I bought four 240s after that through the years and loved it sooo much. I moved over to the 350z platform currently owning my second one because of the drift tax I haven't bought another one yet. I can't spend that much knowing what I've paid in the past and what they really are worth, what people have done to them in the past its just ridiculous to pay that much money.

Loved Alex's intro. I drove a USDM 240 when it was new. Thought it handled beautifully, but didn't care for the powertrain.
Too many hands in the engine bay is the main problem with buying an Evo. Most have had a multitude of owners each of whom modded, then demodded the car, and the next guy did the same thing. All the while knowing virtually nothing about the platform and naturally doing his own work.
this video is way to accurate.. I will some good news tho. 1yr ago i bought my first s13 for 1500 over 3 payments.... came with coil overs installed, roll cage installed, and the girl gave me an extra clutch and clutch fly...... she was having a hard time selling because people wanted to low ball her cause the car couldnt hold an idle and it was missing the glass for the rear view mirrors.
20 bucks at orileys for some cheap temproary mirrors and 30 seconds putting the idle screw back in place... now i have one of my dream cars.
drift missile tax is real but you can still find gems out there for good prices.
All these reasons is why I went with a foxbody instead of an S chassis. Same parts availability, already make 200hp, only weighs 200lbs more and most importantly there was not drift tax on them in 2011... Now we have Barrett Jackson/Mecum tax on them though.

@@matthewboyea3860 IMPORTED? PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW, all everybody seems to talk about is that High Schoolers buy and wreck this into a wall, I wanna clear that misjudgement from this generation onwards, with a clean one.
Most I find is 7k-25k
I love my s13 but yes you need time, money and tons of patience to own one. For me it’s 100% worth it
I saw one on Craigslist getting parted out! Bro it just needs a bumper and fender and they parting it out like wtf man you have a f*cking treasure 🙄
Just found a running 240 for $2,200 in Florida. Bone stock, manual swapped and it runs great; best deal I’ve ever got
So You Want a Nissan 300zx Vid Plz
LostIn2025 nobody wants one though
@@o.6558 Many people don't want the Z31 300ZX Turbo, but do want a Z32 300ZX Twin Turbo.
I want a z31 lol
I'm from Europe and I have a 200sx s13 (it's their name here), and it's pretty funny to see that all the things that you describe are true here too, especially the drift taxe !
I think the 240sx is a good starter car imo.
It was until drift tax made it too damn expensive.
so glad I got mine with me being the third owner and the original color and clean title. Of course, gotta start the process of bringing it back to life.
Yoooooo that’s my footage at 7:45 ! And it just so happens....yes I do want a 240sx 😏
Just picked mine up for $1400, all stock, 2 owner. The deals are hard to find, but they exist.
