Hey I just bought a 1995 Nissan 240sx le. Base model. This is my second vehichle and my first 240sx. I don’t think that I had gotten the best deal on the vehicle but to be honest I had been looking for a 240sx for quiet some time. I had foun this one which wasn’t in the best shape but wasn’t in the worst. Ther are a few things that I need to do with this car before I put it on the road and was hoping that anybody here would be able to help me.
First off my names Tommy, located in Barrie and have been a car enthusiast for quiet some time. Have not stepped into the Drifting scene and oviously have never owned a 240. I have a 1995 240sx, which has about 235000 kms on it. The tach for the rpm doesn’t work and the previous owner had told me that it would just be a cable to fix. The car currently has a 5 bolt conversion on the rear and the standard 4 bold on the front. He had told me that the 96+ models had a % bolt which was standard and that the conversion was a direct replacement of the hub. Now it needs new brakes and rotor for the front which would be changed into the 5 bolt, and it does need an O2sensor where the mainifold is. The air bag light is one which he had told me that it is because of the fuse which he had triggered with the radio.
Basically, what I’m asking is if aybody is able to direct me in the right direction which I am able to get this car on the road and to fall in love with the 240 scene. I have no problem in traveling for parts but unfortunatly the car isn’t drivable.
Where would I be able to find a 5 bolt lug hub or what I would need to do to get this car fixed. Dealer had quoted me on a front hub for about 430 with taxed for the 2 font hubs for the car.
What size rotor and is it standard brake pads that would fit into the calipers of the current setup in the front.
Where would I find an O2 Sensor for the car and is it hard to do myself?
How can I fix my tach rpm by replacing the cable or if thats the problem.
I don’t have any pictures at the moment and I will put some when I can. I would like to come to the meets also and would like to be apart of the 240 world.
Thanx in advance for your info. And will let you guys know of any updates!
