Hey everyone, I just found this site recently and I'm proud to now be a part of it.
I value your guys opinions and recommendations on all things car related.
At this point, I have an old '86 Honda Prelude. It is my first car, so please don't laugh.
That will change within a year. I've been doing some research (and still in the process of) and I'm leaning strongly towards the S14 Nissan 240SX. I have a couple questions that I'd like to ask to make sure that this will be a smart purchase.
I'm looking for a 1995-1998 SE. I heard there are two different styles for the S14 (95/96 and 97/98). Correct?
A few friends of mine said they have had some reliability problems with their 240SX (S13 Tho) How are S14s?
I live in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. What can I expect to pay for a decent S14? I'm thinking under 15k?
When (or if) I get my S14 240SX I plan on doing the SR20DET swap. How hard is it to get parts for this? Any sites/stores would be great. Is this engine reliable? Is it illegal, if so, has it ever been a problem? If it is illegal, can it be shipped from US to Canada without any problems?
I also plan on doing various other upgrades. I plan to make it go and not as much show. Possibly S15 conv.
Sorry for long post, and I appreciate any comments, suggestions, etc. that you guys may have.
