First 240sx

Hey guys, this is my first time on a proper forum so I'm kind of clueless about all of this.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to buying my first real wheel drive vehicle and especially my first 240sx.

I don't know much of anything about the car or any technical know how about tuning/repairing them so hopefully I'll learn a lot about them on here.

Now for my question, what car, model, engine etc. do you guys suggest for someone who wants a clean and decently powerful but reliable car? Something like a sleeper but more tame.

I'm looking for 250 horsepower at the wheels, something that won't break the bank. I don't have a lot of tools or money to do swaps or rebuilds etc. so a good engine is important to me.

I'm thinking of a maximum price of $6,000 for a working car and I'll upgrade one thing at a time afterwards. I just need to know what to look for engine wise and all that.

Thanks for any suggestions

Get any 240sx with an sr20 swap already in it. Turn up the boost with an MBC and you'll be fine. I suggest getting a decent tools. You'll need it. Nothing about a modded 240sx is reliable and you can count on shit breaking. It's just a matter of having money to fix it now or fix it later.
