Some constructive feedback, starting your guide with info on the 4 to 5 lug swap reads a little odd. Maybe talk more about the car wikipedia style first, then what to look for in a 240, common problem areas, then maybe tips and tricks?
When I think of looking for a 240sx, the first thing I notice about the car is the 4 or 5 lug wheels on it. If I was intending to drive the car stock, I would probably just leave the 4-lug on it, but thats usually because I am trying to avoid the swap, especially on the rear. It just isnt fun knocking those things off. So I figured it would be of primary interest / importance to the buyer to consider the car as a possible future 5-lug, or a permanent 4-lug car. If I was going to buy a 4-lugger and change it over to a 5-lug, I would do it RIGHT AWAY, and knowing how to approach it is important; Many folks will do a quick search and find the knock off hubs for cheap and figure it an easy job.

nevertheless, no two people think alike, and I can already see its going to be a common curiosity leaving it up top. So noted, Ive moved it down quite a bit

Feel free to re-arrange it, by no means is this any kind of set in stone final draft paper. Its just basically a nice list of things you can take with you to look at a car. How many times Ive gone to see a car and forgotten to examine a specific point on that car properly, because there are just too many things.
