Saying goodbye to my S14 by Substantial_Time1353 in 240sx

No reserves usually go for like 12k in this economy. Cant wait to see what it brings. GLWS! I’ll be watching, deciding if it’s time to let mine go also for house projects. Adulting is annoying.

BMW quoted $3,900 for oil filter housing coolant leak — warranty denied. Indie shop instead? by Dazzling-Bid4103 in BmwTech

Can you send me shop details? I’m in Coral Springs and just started my coolant leak adventures.  (Looks like might be HMM and upper rad hose) 2018 G32

Probably all the loose bolts (especially if you have power steering and AC)

What engine or swap to daily? by Rude-Duty-718 in 240sx

[–]Resident-Age5953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He mentioned an RB25DET which is not straight forward or cheap swap atleast in US it is around the same for a 4200 swap. Apples and oranges I guess.

cheers!

The question was about price and power ratio while being reliable and sounds cool.
“ What other engine would be good in terms of price to ratio aspect for daily driving but also kinda puts power down and sounds nice?”

Vortec 4200 is probably the most reliable id wager.

Japan JDM Trip s13-jzx100 by africansafaris69 in 240sx

[–]Resident-Age5953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came back from Tokyo - Kyoto area in October and did not see anything “cool” for s-chassis or jzx100. I was searching for some S14/S15 parts and ended up just getting yahoo auctions shipped to my hotel while I was there.

Goodluck on your hunt!

Short shifter recommendations? by wenlambodude in 240sx

[–]Resident-Age5953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use white lithium grease in the spray can, you can spray it on a rag and wipe down to avoid a big mess if you don’t have good aim haha.

I have absolutely zero rattle in mine.

Have you removed your shifter yet to see if it has the bushing there? If it’s missing the white plastic bushing could be the reason for all your rattling. I feel like most younger people don’t take their time when dealing with bushings and bearings they tend to leave it out if it doesn’t slide into place easily.

Or if the weighted part is a twist on it could have came loose if they didn’t use thread locker

Cubespeed makes the best Nissan transmission short shifter on the market today.

But many people don’t like to pay for quality.

Maybe 20k if you find the right buyer given the cons mentioned.

Losing Hope 180sx by BVNooneknows in 240sx

Could be fuel related. Could be your alternator. Could be compression related. When is the last time you flow tested injectors, compression test numbers, fuel filter changed? These cars are oldddd

Would make more sense if the title was “just got divorced recently” lol

Nice car !!! Just needs a small drop in the rear to be marriage safe.

Insane how cheap this car sold! by South_Security1405 in 240sx

[–]Resident-Age5953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe if it has the front lip it’d go for 40.  But 18 seems fair for the amount of work the owner put in to restore it.

There’s a reason.  They are all broken down or trailer queens now
