It depends what you want the car for.

i want to punch you. all 240's come with ka's [either dual or single cam]. UNLESS a swap is already done, obviously. if you did some quick researching, you'd know that. I think you're better off not buying a 240sx.

U have a lot of options of course u have the base model which has no sun roof non abs no hicas susp and no power windows stuff like that, also do u want a coupe or hatch if u want the twin cam motor its 91 and up unless someone did a swap on a pig nose s13, make sure u look under the car the chasis rails and also the wheel welds may have rust if it wasn't taken care of, and of course do u wanna drive it run track drift 1/4 mile or what maybe google isn't helping try yahoo

right there it is obvious that no search was done because a "KA" is a sohc motor in 1989 and 1990 and then it is magically dohc from 1991 to 1998 and hasnt changed since. (in 240sx's)
im pretty sure all of this info is on Wikipedia and several thousand posts on various forums involving 240sx
and the sohc isnt "shit" it is just not very popular.

Yup wkik has all the info on all motors and cars its a great website 2 find info, I'm not 2 familiar with the sohc all I can say is make sure ur chasis is clean um ull learn about that bolt that breaks and all u have 2 do is remove the valve cover I forgot the name of that bracket but a lot of 240's have them, 240sx are great just because of the endless possibiltes from s14 300zx q45 brakes q45 or j30 diff 180sx interior which I hope 2 buy soon um ca18det any of the rbs sr20 black or red top u could stay with ur ka I noe ppl pushing over 700rwhp with a fully built ka real strong motors they where in the datsun pick up trucks I mean honeslty I learned all this stuff just by stopping by and reading it takes time I still have a shit load 2 learn but its amazing about the things u can learn, u can even buy a 2jz engine or,chvey ls1 I mean u pick ur posion honeslty also when u want 2 drop ur car ull get into the whole do I buy coilovers or should I get kyb or konis there's a million of threads on that, u got ur nissan quest alternator u got the q45 thorttle body u can have those with custom made brackets also the 300zx tranny with a special backet I forgot who makes them tho.

thanks ass but what i was trying to say was i want a dual cam and i get it confused sometimes my bad.but yeah i am looking at this 240 if my e30 sells.http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/1280248210.html

gmember240

looks like a nice one. clean and not modded out too bad just an intake and strut bars. check for rust on underbody, with that price you'll most likely find some

BTP

to the op...

common problems... lack of regular maintenance.. most dumbass owners fail to do shit like the chain tensioners when they should.... suspension pieces are most certainly going to be worn out... tc rod bushings....

putting butyl sealant on the tail lights is probably necessary
