- I like both hatches and coupes but from a practical point of view the hatch is better since you can easily fit a set of tires for track events in a stripped and caged one. Can't do that with a coupe nor S14.

- Both the 240sx but specially the ae86 chassis aren't very stiff. They rattle and flex quite a bit. So some significant chassis work is needed when udertaking RB, LS, etc swaps and not to mention fabrication. Cost can get out of hand pretty quick.

- Front end conversions stopped being cool in 2002. They cost money to do right and 240 owners are mostly cheap by nature so cars end up looking like piles.
