So its been a while since ive been on here. I used to own a 95 240 SE and sadly totaled it in a accident. I then bought a 1990 NA Z and have been having fun ever since. Today someone asked if i wanted to sell my Z for $2000 and a 95 S14 in pretty good condition. I've always loved 240's and miss my old one. I was wondering if anyone had secure advice on how I could spend that $2000 on the S14. Thanks

anyone else?

yeah.. 300zx suck to work on and cost more. but it all depends on what you wanna do. I love the way the z's look but schasis is sooo fun if modded right.
its up to you.

RB25 in the Z32. do it.

gibbs240 · 03-03-2007, 10:48 PM

that defeats the whole purpose of this thread.... the guy is wanting to buy my Z for HIS 240 and 2K$. Now if anybody on here wants to trade or buy its is a 1990 300ZX 2+2 NA with 142K miles. It has Intake, XS Headers, straight through exhaust with x pipe and HKS mufflers, Stage 3 clutch, nismo steering wheel, short shifter, new alternator; starter; power steering pump and belts. It is in good condition for its year and was made in 4/89 (one of the first in the US). Here is my cardomain page:

from our FAQ

I just got my 240sx what should I do to it 1st?

Don't do anything to it yet, do research and learn more about it 1st before doing anything.
Find out what do you want the car for.
A car is like a tool to perform a task picking the right tool will make the task easier to complete(another word fix it up right 1st time).
If you must do something we recommand spending the money to replace worn out parts(bushing and etc..), complete tune-up including flushing radiator, and clean up the interior.

Ok I'm ready to modify the car what are the steps you recommend?

We recommend the following steps.
1. Upgrade brake and Suspension(power is useless with control)
2. Find a nice set of wheel(it's the wheel that make a car look nice)
3. Change out the seat,steering wheel, and shiftknob.
4. It's up to you but we recommand somekind of LSD.
5. Go for upgrade on engine(swaps, turbo, or exotic custom ITB)
6. Exterior body mods--remember there are tons of S13/S14 parts out there do research and find the one you "like".

Our final advice--Enjoy your car DON'T baby it.

it also depends on your future plans for the 240 if u want a new engine i would do breaks and such but yeah what jspecusa said sounds like a good plan just dont start jumping into things and spending money before your sure on what you want. and have fun!!!!

Farzam · 03-04-2007, 12:21 PM

IMO too much of a headache, but if he has the time/money to do it then that would ultimately be the option I'd reccomend. A fast z is better than a fast 240 imo...but both are awesome.

If you keep the Z and want more speed, then get a motorcycle. Mid 90s 600-1000cc can be had pretty cheap. Honestly a bike gives you more enjoyment than any car can...if you live in a city then that might not be a good option for you with the risk of theft, vandalism, virtually no storage space, no crash protection, etc

IMO I'd keep the Z if it's reliable for you. Those things look so nice, but a nicely done up zenki s13 can look really nice too. It's ultimately up to you since you have to deal with the consequences of your decision.
