Soy de Queretaro, Mexico muy cerca del Distrito Federal y si hay 240sx's aqui solo que son muy escasos. Nissan Mexicana los importo solo como modelo 1993 y modelo 1998, aqui solo tuvimos la opcion de comprar chuki's s13's en 1993 y kouki's s14's en 1998.

btw no hay puros tsurus y pick ups haha hay de todo aunque por los impuestos que cobran aqui nos sale mas barato comprar y mantener tsurus jaja. Tsuru in mexico = B12 and B13 Sentra in the USA

Tu de donde eres?

When I was in Guadalajara, I saw 2 or 3 240sx out there. And he is right, Nissans are all over the place in Mexico.

And yes that should be a real arc.

Yes... for us it's to cheap to maintain the B13 Sentras also we have B14's, B15's and B16's like taxis but the first option for a taxi it is the famous B13 Sentra....like i say cheaper maintaince compared to other cars and there are a lot of spare pieces and it is very easy to find those pieces.

do you have any money left? that's why i am going to buy this cap... im going to buy some z32 brakes and NGK spark blue wires so i have some extra $34USD. to buy this thing and my friend is going to send me all those things in 1 box to pay only 1 shipping quote.

Well that kinda made sense, nonetheless, use the Identify This Thread, or youll get locked mate.

you should tell the seller to make another post that says

"100% authentic, or your money back."

that way you know it's 100% real.

It looks a little janky because the logo looks like cheap paper or something.
I would not buy it. JMO
Edit: I could be wrong, maybe bad photography.

looks legit to me. They did make a type A and B 1.3 cap. Whether or not it fits your car, you need to look at the under side. The real question is....do you have the radiator?

Its a radiator cap...as long as it holds the pressure it says its supposed to hold its good to go. Slap it on and let it find all the brittle, old coolant lines you have under the manifold.
