Bam Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Never owned a nissan, and have my eye on 2 different 240sx's. A 91 and a 95, which are different bodystyles. Anyways, anything to look for and what common problems do these have other than being 15-20years old? tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 rust aye, i can physically see that as its generally easier to spot than say a specific part/whatever going bad or leaking/making a noise, etc. but thanks for the reminder.

NOPR Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 for the S13, rust under the battery tray on the (I THINK) driver side. that whole fender/frame rail area in there can be real nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 aye, i can physically see that as its generally easier to spot than say a specific part/whatever going bad or leaking/making a noise, etc. but thanks for the reminder. check the rip edges, and every where under it...under the hood and so on...drive it down to a muffler shop and toss the guy $20 to let you see under it on the rack. i had one here not that long ago, the frame rails where completely gone in it :nod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boosted98gst Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 for the S13, rust under the battery tray on the (I THINK) driver side. that whole fender/frame rail area in there can be real nasty. Its on the pass side, and even on southern cars this is an issue. Best bet is to cut it out for intercooler piping anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
