First time buying 240. What to look for? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey everyone. I am new to these forums and new to 240s in general and have yet to actually get my hands on one. I am going to go look at some today and just wanted to see if I could get a heads up from you guys.

What should I look for in terms of an sr20det swap? What are some common problems or shortcuts people take that I should be thrown off by? Same goes for anything else that the 240 might have common problems with.
Also I come from the northern part of the us where we can get pretty bad rust. Where should I look for most common rusting? Where would I be able to see that it is going to rust through even if it's not showing through the paint?
Any help is appreciated.
