The Car...

Rusker's 1990 Nissan 240SX Aberdeen/Olympia, WA - 1


After searching for a few months, this is what $900 bought me. A 1990 240sx SE Fastback. The car was in overall good condition, with ONLY 212k on the SOHC KA motor.

Before I did anything with this car, I needed to take care of a few things. The old 240's came with a foam wing, yes FOAM!. Overtime the wing had trapped enough water to rust the hatch, which caused a small leak. Why Nissan thought this would be a good idea, is beyond me. My solution... I picked up a new hatch at a local junkyard for $21.99, and gave it some paint.

The passenger side fender also had a little damage, so instead of attempting to fix it, I also picked up a new fender. It will be put on after the SR20 has been installed.
