    I was actually in the same boat with my 240SX, fixing problem after problem. In hindsight, I wish I had stuck with it. But I am happy with my NC. So I still am not not sure where I stand.

    I think I will just accept I got a good car in the end, shut up, and move on.

    I should have said that when the motor needed a rebuild but I had faith that it would be strong.....i never considered the crank bolt would come out.
    i have 7600.00 in the engine and SC alone and will see maybe a 4200.00 return on that if I am lucky.
    i could lie to myself some more and say well almost everything is new now, but last time I did that it cost me another 500.

    So I really just want to be rid of it now, it doesn't even feel right to drive it anymore, cant trust it so i gotta get rid of it.

    My plan is to try and get a gently used NC with a CLEAR Carfax.
    But I am at this point considering other options.
    Billy, I know you've been frustrated. And I'm NOT telling ya what to do. But if you're a screw turn away from having a fun, driveable car, I say turn that screw first...
