There’s a link that tells u exactly what you should look for when buying an s13 240sx. It tells u about all rust spots. It’s in the forums, just seach.

Oh btw, dont tell your insurance company about the swap or they might not even want to insure you.

hmm, I would argue that you should tell your insurance since withholding info could end up being insurance fraud, and criminal charge, and in the case of a claim, lead to NO coverage

The only reason why I bought my 240sx was because everyone is into drifting now and i wanna be part of the jdm tyte drifting crew yo. And also, once i put in my sr20det, i will be smoking ferraris and vipers. The SR is going to make my 240 into an 11 second car. I will be so jdm tyte yo!
