Looking at a picture, it looks like its over on the left (facing car from front) kinda off on its own. Maybe I'm wrong, most cars I've seen it in its near the firewall toward the back of the engine bay (facing front of car).
Just check it over cause it's a 92' with 100,000mi. Look at belts and so forth, drive it and listen/feel for anything. Ask about maintenance and such, see if they changed the oil regularly, etc. Female drivers tend* to drive their cars lighter, but not maintain them as well, note the asterisk...
I heard it was about 12% for FWD and RWD and 15-20% for AWD. Remember that his 240 isn't new, so of course its lost some power, and Nissan has a tendency to overrate their hp numbers (Sentra SE-R actually has somewhere in the 160s to 170, not 175), except for the GT-R, which had more like 300...
As long as it was done by someone who knew what they were doing, it should be fine. For older motors you probably would want a rebuilt one, but I'm not totally sure on that.
Of course the fronts get hotter, they get used more when stopping. You shouldn't wash your car hot either. I doubt you need the shield, probably better to have it, but I don't really know.
I've heard the contrary too, on rare occasions, that OBDII cars are easier to tune (VR6 GTIs, for example). On the other hand, 240SX owners want a car that's 95' or earlier if they're doing an SR swap, SR20DETs don't pass OBDII. It really depends on how stringent the state/shop you get tested by...
Some people are in the market for DSMs, or just have a passion for them. Just because we don't have the car doesn't mean we can't learn about it. That post was pointless of you.
Are you sure the seat was all the way back and stuff? There's plenty of people who've fit in 1 and 2G's who are about your size and larger, I wouldn't think 3Gs would be much, if any, smaller. It just seems odd. For drivers-ed we had Chevy Cavaliers and I (at 6'3) had a heck of a time getting...
Go with what you want. The gas mileage should be about the same unless you use the turbo to it's potential :). Look up that kind of stuff on Edmunds. It all really depends on what you want. If you want a show car, get a non-turbo and save the money and do cf hood and crap. If you want a car with...
Nothin, I know one of the songs is a remix of Clubbed To Death by Rob Dougan, but I dunno the rest, I really want the song from the final credits. Too bad that game is so short! I beat both character's quests in 6 days :(, I still wanna buy it though, weird, I guess cause it kicked a**.
Wow, this has nothing to do with cars. Oh well, I've looked on Kazaa and the web and found nothing, does anyone know any of the songs in the game? I've heard one or two before but I don't know their names, thanks!
Before everyone tells you to search, I'll answer what I can. A 95' Talon with that low mileage should be great, but of course, check it over yourself and/or have a mechanic do it before you get in too deep. There's enough aftermarket parts for all DSMs that it shouldn't be a problem, and I...
I'll be 16 in a month and a half, and I remember a little over a year ago being a lot like you, really excited about cars (of course, I knew my parents weren't buying for another year+). I agree, you should go with what your mom wants (trust me, if mom likes the car, you're more likely to get...
Heh... yeah, 1000$ deductible is pretty odd, I know, we just hope I don't wreck. I'll be 16, good student, drivers ed, and I don't think that includes the defensive driving I'll be taking this summer some time. I hope to take something like the Audi Driving School sometime, but I don't know if...
Thanks guys, that was pretty much what I was asking. When I got my dad to get a few quotes, I was very surprised to see a 97' Talon TSi was 1178$ every 6 months for full coverage with 1000$ deductible, which was within the 1000-1200$ range my parents expected. It sounds like it would just be a...
I did a search with a couple of different titles and got nothing. I've had an issue that I want the power of the 4G63, but the convertible style of say... a nice chick-car Miata. So, knowing the insurance numbers on a Talon TSi, I was thinking maybe an Eclipse GS-T Spyder would be similar...
I second that Jason. It's a problem on all boards, not just here. I haven't even totally decided on what car I want to get, but I've joined a few boards to do some homework. One other thing I'd like to say, because it seems appropriate with the bashing thing. Whomever it was, and I assume they...
The latest SCC has a huge article on how fulla crap the cars are. On top of losing power due to having the hell beat out of them, they messed with em too. The GT-R had its front driveshaft disconnected because it stuck to the road too well for what they wanted. The Evo was stock. The hideous...
1178$ per 6 months for a 97' Talon TSI AWD, I'll be 16, with my parents and 18yr old bro on it too, 1000$ deductible, clean record, good student, drivers ed. Hope that helps!
So... I give my dad a list of cars to check insurance on, and pretty much jokingly put a 97' Talon TSi AWD on there. Guess what? It's one of the 3 cheapest on a list of 6, and has the most power. Weird! Anyway, with that info I found that it would be the best option. I had pretty much written it...
Thanks. I'm throwing around the idea of keeping it for a while and making it a project sometime. That's pretty much the only reason I look at the 240 any more, besides not being FWD, it's a great project. I was thinking maybe an AWD turbo would be a good WRX killer someday...
I'm new. I guess that's why I'm in the newb forums. I'm looking at cars pretty intensely, and will be for the next few months. The main two I'm looking at right now are a Talon TSi AWD or a Nissan 240SX. I know a bit about tuning for the 240, but the Talon has better power to start with, and I...
