1997 Nissan 240SX Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1997 Nissan 240SX have a deep appreciation for its handling, styling, and the potential for performance upgrades. Many love its ability to be customized with aftermarket parts, making it suitable for various driving styles like drifting and racing. However, a common downside noted is that the car is underpowered in its stock form, requiring drivers to invest in modifications to unleash its true potential. Additionally, some reported maintenance issues, particularly with the stock engine's performance."
I give this car a overall 4 out of 5 stars based on it's aftermarket support, Exceptional handling platform. Easy to enjoy and well rounded, Only true downside is the car is severely underpowered, While it remained underpowered it was still and excellent driving platform.
November 17, 2011Excellent throttle response, quick acceleration, great top speed (limited at 120 mph by computer from factory), superb handling, great gas mileage, relative low cost of ownership, an absolute blast to drive! Availability of aftermarket parts are abundant making this an absolute dream for enthusiast hoping to get the most out of the car.
September 18, 2010Nissan should have never stopped making these cars. They have amazing suspensions that are suitable for several different styles of racing. The aftermarket support for these cars is incredible. In America these cars were underpowered, having only a naturally aspirate 2.4L, but that left room for some amazing power once turbo'd. Not to mention the infinite number of easy engine swaps for instant dominance on the street.

April 2, 2008This car can do anything. I mean ANYTHING. I can drift, drag, auto-x, etc. The way it looks is just drooling sexy. The way she hugs the floor on turns and such, mmm perfect. The feel of her when i shift through gears.. it's something out of the ordinary.
September 12, 2009Its gonna haul ass, it pulls hard and stops on a dime, the quality of the build is top notch, very nice interior and a nice pearl white paint job, gets 30+ mpg when ur not spooin up the turbo. It is sick to drive and no u cannot
August 27, 2009Well. My 240 is quite an amazing Car. Pros-good handling, killer looks, good kids car, lots of torque. Cons-underpowered, needs maintenance kind of a lot, not that good on gas (or at least not how i drive it). I'm a 240SX lover, though, so none of this phases me. :D
February 28, 2009From the factory the stock 240 is pretty weak in power and brakes. with the addition of the j-spec sr20det motor, 4 piston brakes, and stiffer suspension the car is awesome and has been a great car to drive. This is my second s14 240sx and although i love the car, it will be the last 240 i own due to the fact it is getting out dated.
October 7, 2008I bought the caar in 2002 with 83,000 miles on the clock. I was 16 when I got it and safe to say I wasn't kind to it. The car has been abused and put away wet more times than I can count and it's still ticking. It handles like a dream and stops on a dime. My only gripes are that it's an auto (most are), and the factory motor does not live up to the cars image in the slightest. If it only had the 220 horse turbo SR20DET that came in the japanese model it would be pure sex on wheels.
February 7, 2008I love my car it makes 375hp on 16lbs of boost It has a molded origin body kit so there are no lines where the side skirt and the rear bumper meet the body It has an Sr20det from a nissan silvia s15 Its the best
