Hey guys, been lurking here for a while now trying to learn what I can but its a lot to take in at once :-/

So I have been looking for a project car to build and have considered Mustangs to Civics and everything in between. After a good month of searching I decided on a 240sx! :cool:

Now I have few options for what I can buy since I live in an area where these are not common.

Here is my top pick:
Nissan 240sx S13 - Saskatchewan Cars For Sale - Kijiji Saskatchewan Canada. (http://saskatchewan.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-Nissan-240sx-S13-W0QQAdIdZ403112902)

I would do the sr20det swap pretty much right away and try to bring him down on the price a bit.

My #2 Pick:
1990 Nissan 240SX Coupe - Saskatchewan Cars For Sale - Kijiji Saskatchewan Canada. (http://saskatchewan.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-1990-Nissan-240SX-Coupe-W0QQAdIdZ391854658)

Only concern with this one is trying to find a bumper for it, dont know how hard/expensive it would be to get the right one.


Really looking forward to building up one of those machines. Any input about these cars is greatly appreciated as this will be my first big project.

Thanks for looking and I hope to learn a lot from these forums :bowdown:

I can't really decide what is right for you, that is ultimately up to you. Just take your time on your decision, check out a few in person and go from there. Why not buy an actual 180sx since you live in Canada?

You want to do a sr20 swap but don't know the value of silvia bumpers? :picardfp:

You wouldn't believe how few there are in my area. I have only seen two and they wanted ridiculous amounts of money for rust buckets.

And Sticky, like I said, I'm new to these cars, don't know much about body part costs. Plus those costs will most likely vary quite a bit between where I am and where you are. I would be getting help with the sr20 swap obviously.
