S13's in Toronto - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey guys,

well... I've browsed like the last 15 pages on here and got some good info.  I'm looking to buy a S13 since my poor rx7 died last winter.  My question is more about support for the 240 in T-dot.  Is there anyone around here who specalizes in 240's... with mods and such?  Or do I have to import everything from the U.S. and pay the loving $300 just for S&H? .. Any good 240 mechanics around? ... I had to specalize with the rx7.. since it was rotary.. the other mechanics are clueless.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sneaky.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

issed:'>  My main focus here is saving money, and finding a reliable mechanic... I'm a struggling college student. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

Anyway... if anyone can help me out with this, or knows anyone selling a 92 or 93 S13 SE lemmie know. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Thanks in advance,

more important than a specialized mechanic is a reliable one, many of the issues with the 240 are straight forward enough for any decent mechanic to tackle.

i have been to a few shops that are very reliable and have not had any problem with such things as (brake cylinder, N1 dual install. siper motors and minor worries)

for the bigger jobs (timing chain etc.) go to the nissan dealerships, they are crazy learned < and have been xtremely helpful 4 me

also, ontario is the cheaest place in the world to buy a 240sx, so go get her
