Mid 90's 240's with Headlights & Trunks

I'm confused. I'm a old time Datsun/Nissan fan. I had 280's in the past and plan to buy a Nissan 240 from the mid 1990's. The problem I;m having is what exact name and years am I looking for to get a Nissan 240 with the trunk and front headlights. I don't want the hatchback with retractable headlights. From what I could find, I'm looking for 1995-1998 240 SE not 1989-1994SX's. Is this correct? The searches I did with pictures & specs have some inconsistencies. :mad:

Also any tech advice would be nice (any better years than others).
My goals are:
-year round daily driver
-70% Autocross (Solo I)
-25% amature dragracing
-5% amature rally
-fully adjustable suspension
-seam welds, full cage
-mostly bolt on, plus cams, gears, and maybe tranny change
-most likely no turbo or supercharger
-no NOS but DEI Cryo 2, and detailed engine management
-no showing off, strickly clean racer and daily driver

from 89 to 94 the 240sx is the S13 model. 94 was convertible only. those years are the ones with the retractable headlights, but they also came in Coupe version aswell with a trunk.

u are lookin for a 95+ version, which is called the S14. they also went thru a slight exterior change, with the first models being rounded off, and the second being more aggressive looking. u will notice the difference if someone can post some pics.

I noticed some with flatter headlights and better looking ones with slanted headlights on the 240 registry. I assume the slanted eye ones seem to be later models.

correct, thats the change i was talking about that was more noticeable.. except, i dont like s14's much, so i havent even read like a single information page on them. :icon16: , which is why i didnt list the year that the change happened, cause i forgot :lol2:

but u already seem to know what i was talking about.

hey, i have a 90 240sx with bolt-ons and suspension upgrades, and i want to get something else soon, so it's for sale. but it's a hatchback..... but after many comments and everything else people like s13 hatchbacks. they look better than the s14's...

mine looks really good... but its not too flashy. very dependable.

they look better than the s14's...




keep telling yourself that... My car is WAY sexier than yours!

I really like it, but I'm a diehard Skyline fan. I love the personality of Nissan's 2 door sport sedan look...

the wifey and I where thinking of getting R32 from Motorex, but we decided that it would be to much of a burden. Payin $20,000 for a 15 year old car on a medium income, 2 kids and a new 9but old) house wouldn't work well. LOL so I have to stick to a domestic Nissan. Gotta have RWD!!

booooooooooo

it looks like a galant

:p



i want 5000 if you want it on stock rims and i'll even put on a brand new mandrel bent exhaust if you dont like the big one i have on right now. roughly 90-95k on engine and body (since odo sticks). auto.

i just listed it on www.240sx.org also.

booooooooooo

it looks like a galant

:p




galant my ass

your car looks like a probe hahahahaha :tongue:

ok 95-98 is what your looking for, the 97 and 98 are the ones you said have slanted headlights that you like better, I agree the slanted lights look nice, the reason you may see inconsistencies when you search is because some people ruin the beautiful S13 (hatchbacks or coupes) 89-94 by doing what is call a sil-80 conversion or the sort, as in putting a silvia front end on them, the nissan silvia is basically the newest version of a 240sx if you didn't know, I belive they started in 99 right when the 240's stop but I could be wrong, I think they still are making them as well, but again I'm not sure. those are just awsome, if you have the money you may want to search on those because they resemble the S14 like your saying you want but with much more beauty, although you'd have to import one unless you could possibly be lucky enough to find one in the states, but anyways if you have anymore questions just post them up and either I or someone else will know the answer and will help you out.

probe.... my ass

who said yours looks like a newer galant? it looks like the 95 version my brother used to have

its like a galant with s13 taillights

..........ok 95-98 is what your.......

Thanks All and Soyo. This really helps.

Oh yeah by the way older 240's do look like old Probes.:lol2: But they're nissan's so that makes it better! No disrespect though. I have old issues of C&D and R&T where they are comparing them because of thier simular looks. They bashed the non-turbo Probes so bad, lol. Nissan rock!

MYNISMO, What exhaust is on it now (pictured)? My wife likes it! :tongue:

everyone likes it :iceslolan

it's an Apexi N1 Dual Catback exhaust. it's pretty loud stock, i have silencers on mine and it sounds great. it goes for about $599+shipping.

i will have new pictures in my profile just as soon as it stops raining over here! the pictures in my profile don't do any justice. my car looks way cooler in real life :smile:

hey no shit talk bout fastbacks, your cars look like normal 2 door coupes, nothing flashy or special, just loiek any other 2 door coupe,

mynismo has what looks like a N1 dual exhaust from apexi i think??

its slanted so it looks reeal nice

i used to have the same color car just 3 days ago

probe.... my ass

who said yours looks like a newer galant? it looks like the 95 version my brother used to have

its like a galant with s13 taillights


that does not look like my car, come to where I work, and I will hook you up with some glasses... If anything, that car looks like a Maxima.

Maxima.
if you'd prefer it to look like a 4-door sedan.... fine

lol

s13's are sport coupes

I think she was saying the Galant looks like a Maxima. And, you know, earlier tonight, just after dusk, I almost mistook a Probe for an S13; sad, but true.

There are a few registered 4 door Skylines throughout Japan and Aussie!

no, dont say that please

More than a few I'd say. And there's plenty in America too, hoss: the Infiniti G35 sedan is a rebadged Skyline : ).

he's a liar. you know it and i know it.

yeah, i'm obviously trying to win dayna's affection away from you :P

lmao a galant? seriously someone needs an eye appointment... the only car that a s14 resembles in my opinion is a lexus sc400 ... which isn't a bad car to resemble lol... and s13 hatchbacks do look like probes heheh but after some exterior mods they do look damn sexy, but never as sexy as an s14... sorry guys it just isn't possible heheh ...

im just making up excuses... i know an s13 resembles like a probe :shakehead

it resembles it... doesn't look like it.

there's a line between luxory and small sports car... it does look like that lex but i prefer a sports car look instead.

its just a matter of preference. i think nothing's better than a black coupe s13.

oooooo

ahhhh

i guess s13 hatches do look kinda probe-ish. good thing i have an s13 coupe. :biggrin:

hatchbacks are the best, have you ever seen the falken drifting S13 fastback? B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!

i don't think that the s14 looks like a galant. the only reason i didn't like it was the ugly "full length" tail lights on it.

oooooo

ahhhh

This pic just makes me, well, it makes me feel really good.

God I want that 240!!!!!!!!!!1

you know what i used to like the s14 better than the s13, but i couldnt stand those ugly(my opinion) tail lights on the s14, so now i like the s13. you gotta admit the s13 tail lights look better with the conversion, the one that looks kinda like the skylines rear lights. the front of the 97-98 s14 looks better though.

LOVE THE IMAGE!! :wink: :smile: :rolleyes:

I'd rather have a 240 Coupe(S13) over a girlfriend. At least I would get pleasure out of the car :sunglasse

id get a 240sx fastback, convert the rear end to the newer jap 180sx style rear tail lights, and put a strawberry face front. but before i do all that id probably put in a sr20det red top. now thats beautiful.

kouki tailights are nice but a bit too expensive if you ask me.

All you need to do is hit your stock tails with some alum. and mag polish then like Mr. Miyagi said "wax on,wax off"(you know the motions:biggrin:),repeat a few more times,wipe'em clean,step back and watchem BLING!!!

Sorry guys, if you think a car is better than a gf, you are mistaken...

If you think its all drama, its like a car. Cars are a pain to fix, and girls can get to you sometimes, but when its running smoothly, and you just kick back and have fun :sunglasse

I'd take a car and some funds over a woman....... :grinno:

Married twice. Worked hard at it, sacrificed my time and effort, and tried to make it balance. :uhoh: I still feel more comfotable and had/have more fun with my cars, lol
