Its super easy, i know there are tons of write ups on it. And 200 isnt hard, but once you get there youll want more. Just get a descent turbo from the beginning to save money from when you get tired of a weak ass t25 or t28. Hope you have fun, I still love nissans and always will.

Yeah ive heard my fair shair about that, surprisingly my motor is quiet as can be.

yea it will usually make noise on higher mileage cars that werent taken care of.
i had a buddy club spec 2 i think. Heavy throttle used to call it the worlds longest downpipe on account of the fact that it only had a small resonator similar to that of the slp loudmouth exhausts for lsx cars

yeah my exhaust is straight pipe without the little resonator that buddy club likes to do, also has a 3" test pipe as well. Still sounds good na

honestly all 240's are all pos', it's only after people dub a decent amount of money into them do they not look like a pos... but usally they have rusted frame rails,floor boards, wheel wells and shock towers. Trust me i know.. ive rebuilt most of my 240 from chassis rails to suspension and motor since ive owned mine.

yeah theres plenty of rust on my car but I dont think ill even mess with it. Money will be going into the motor and suspension prob thats it. at this point i could care a less how it ever looks just because its not worth saving. Id rather find a shell with less\no rust

if youre not going to fix it, why dont you just wait til you find a car thats good and waste your money on that? there is no point in doing motor and suspension stuff to a car that is rusting away. if anything you are just going to kill it faster.

You gotta love how much time/effort/money we put into these pieces of shit, right Hanley? Pretty much why I still have mine after 10 years.....
