So I'm picking up a 1993 nissan 240sx SE from work....
It's a coupe (no hatch for me)
5spd
150k
immaculate interior
exterior shows some age but is really clean, no rust as would be the usual circumstance
going to end up paying around 2k out the door including tags, title, etc....
should be a fun OTM!
Only problem is I'll have to resist the urge to mod the thing!!!!!!!!!!

I'd only buy a coupe myself. Good taste!
I know a source for RB25's if you're ever in need.

Dude, waaaay too much power. Buddy of mine (Aaron Hamilton) had an RB in a Nissan Hardbody truck, then had it in an S13. Another guy has a silver Frontier (looks like a bag of poop) with an RB (watch out!).
The truck and S13 wouldnt hook til 4th. But holy poop they were fast....

Yeah, I kinda know the guy with the frontier..... it blew up supposedly, and it's going in a 240 fully built next (just what I heard, can't confirm)
as for me, under hard accel, the miata doesn't really hook till midway through 3rd..... no traction till 4th would be awesome!

Cool, glad you got it.
Sorry I didnt swing out today; I remembered my K&N was arriving today and that excited me. Then I realized Id have to go the hell way on 924; where it takes 4.5 hours to get to the next light.

RB25, or RB26..... engine codes for the motors tht came in skylines. RB25 is single turbo, and the 26 is the twin turbo version
2.5 and 2.6 litres respectively, inline 6 cylinders
