My fourth 240. Easy fix?

GSR2NR94 · #1 02-13-2005, 01:08 AM

Whats up guys. I just purchased my fourth 240. I haven't even picked it up yet but I am going to this weekend. Its an S14 kouki and I paid $1600 for it and I think I can fix it with a little work. Replacement parts needed include: front bumper cover, front bumper, hood, clutch fan, radiator, a/c condensor, headlights, grill, airbags, and the frame rail which supports the radiator/condensor. It sounds like a lot but if you guys have any experience with these parts, let me know if it is gonna be a bitch or if I got a pretty good deal. Thanks. The pics are here:

With a hit like that the frame is probably bent to shit, have fun.

logik, i know you're sour.. but i kinda have to agree with you.. gsr2nr94, you're gonna have to find out how the frame is.. i know its gonna take a ton of work but honestly, is it worth it with a potentially bent frame??

Given a unibody car, accidents do weird things. With a front hit like that I'm actually inclined to say that it's probably not that bad. The front sub frame on a 240SX is pretty much glued and spot welded onto the firewall, I doubt much force was transfered back judging by the pictures. And since the front sub frame is essentially two stamped sheet metal rails sticking off the front with the engine mount inbetween, any damage is almost certainly fixable, $1500 or less probably. The body work could easily amount to more.

I agree that the frame could be bent, and no. I only have 2 240's. I said that I am on my 4th one which means I have sold the rest except for my 95 S14 base model. So this is the thing: If this car's frame is tweaked too bad, then I will swap the 5 lus, the tail lights, the wheels, and everyting else over to my 95, but if the frame is good, then it might be worth fixing and keeping. I guess Ill find out.

Well for 1600$ you can't really go wrong...damn I wished I had seen that...lol

Oh and the frame is glued?

uh oh you said air bags.....you dont have that type of money. If you do, its a waste.

logik23 · #10 02-13-2005, 04:09 PM

Screw the airbags, get an aftermarket steering wheel and put gauges where the passanger airbag cover was.

GSR2NR94 · #11 02-13-2005, 05:15 PM

Why are airbags a waste of money?? I could get them on ebay for cheap and they are not very hard to put in. I have put them in my GSR integra when I had it. And did you think about the part when I said I have a 95 S14 Chuki? Yea, last time I checked, I could just put them in.

logik23 · #12 02-13-2005, 06:14 PM

The 95 is a Zenki, not a Chuki.

mynismo · #13 02-13-2005, 06:16 PM

yea screw the airbags, just get a nice aftermarket steering wheel

remember the car is obd ii..... swapping will be hard if you plan on it and live in a gay e-check state like i do

"The 95 is a Zenki, not a Chuki."

You Fool. I was saying chuki because the persons name: Chuki breath was making a comment to me and I made one back. I wasnt calling my 95 a Chuki. What the hell would I do that for? But, I guess I can see how it sounded when I wrote it. Sorry.

GSR2NR94 · #15 02-13-2005, 07:00 PM

Also, why will swapping the airbags be hard? The 95 and 97 are both OBD II right? I live in Michigan. They don't check shit really.
