Default 1989 240sx

Purchase new - US version. Only issue: clutch slave cylinder failed while driving...Clutch engauged in 1st gear approx. 1 mile from home. Car was towed to dealership and reparied under warrenty. Stock seats are uncomfortable and needed better shocks/sway bars/springs for spirited driving. Other than that; great car.

look for rust, that is the biggest culprit. I just sold mine last summer, here it is in a pic last month at Zdayz with my vette though.


I highly suggest you check out HybridZ

heres the 240sx , i have found a few 240z up here in the north east area, but there is a lot of rust on them.. i'm just guessing that restoration is pretty pricey?
