Faults:

These are not things that are wrong with the car, but were maintenance services done to ensure that the car stays reliable.

The only problem that commonly occurs on ALL the 240sx cars, is that the front torque control bushing goes bad and causes the steering to vibrate and eat front tires. With bad bushings, the alignment is never straight, and therefore must be replaced ASAP for higher mileage cars.

OVERALL:

My car and others are very different. My car was a true track setup car. The original untouched car doesn't handle too well and feels quite heavy. There is much body roll/lean, and the acceleration is weak on freeway passing. Stop & go acceleration is great. The interior is very nicely laid out, however the steering wheel was too wide and made steering more difficult because the car is rear wheel drive. Personally I enjoyed the automatic more than the 5 speed, but every want to be drifter will tell you the 5 speed is better... but it's not.

Faults:

Cigarette Lighter keeps blowing the fuse. I must replace the fuse every couple of weeks. So far that is the only issue I have had in the last four years.

General Comments:

I love everything about this car. I drive my vehicles hard and this car has taken it and begged for more. I currently have a Lincoln with a blown engine and a Cadillac. Neither lasted as long as this one has.

Faults:

Clutch burnt out around 81,000 miles. Rugs are beginning to wear away, but what else do you expect after 80,000 miles. Headers heat shield rattles at 3,000 revolutions per minute. After removal of the heat shield rattling went away.

General Comments:

Nissan has always been famous for making quality sports cars and the 240sx is no exception. Great performance and handles like no other car I've driven. The cabin has a tight sports car feel to it, but don't expect to carry too many passengers because the back seat is very tight. It's a sports car who needs a back seat. For street racers this is the machine to own because it is rear wheel drive and jumps off the line like no other and just keeps pulling on other cars. This car has so much potential and could be a corvette killer if tuned properly.
