SkyJawa Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 ....and I have to say I'm really impressed with it. So relaxing and easy to drive compared to the GTR, and goes really well even completely standard (pulled easily from my mates 320d). So much car for the money, very happy with the purchase Some piccies: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.ambrosen/200sx/200sx1.jpg http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.ambrosen/200sx/200sx2.jpg http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.ambrosen/200sx/200sx3.jpg http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.ambrosen/200sx/200sx4.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 They're good motors - certainly not slow. Nearly bought one 4 years ago, then saw the light and got an NA instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra dan Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 i saw the calder wide body 200 today, made even me think about swapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 The more I drive it the more I enjoy it. Its just sooooooooooooooo much car for the money, and in all the times I've been needing to go out, I've been finding myself jumping into the 200 over the Skyline! Its really weird too, for a 2l turbo, it drives like an NA engine, no real turbo kick just completely linear power delivery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Looks nice. What colour is that? I can't decide if it's purple or blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Its really weird too, for a 2l turbo, it drives like an NA engine, no real turbo kick just completely linear power delivery! Thats the way nissan engineered the S14 as stock. It provides a very linear power delivery just like an NA as you said. Once modified though and boost raised to 1 bar, it becomes a much more brutal and involved power delivery Once you've got a decatted zorst and boost at 1 bar you'll jump in the car and it will turn you into a raving psycho, wanting to attack every roundabout sidewards!

SkyJawa Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Looks nice. What colour is that? I can't decide if it's purple or blue Its funny you should say that mate. Its actually metallic blue, but I've had at least 3 people now say it looks like it has a purple tinge/flick to it Its a lovely colour in this glorious sun we've had this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never realised that until I'd driven it a bit more than just my test drive! Its really strange, yet impressive at the same time! Quite a refined delivery for a turbo car Another strange thing I find is that as the gears are so tall, I find myself going far faster than I think I'm going!! LOL! Its also nice to have covered 90 miles and still be on at least 3/4 of a tank, in the GTR I'd be nudging half Suffice to say I've already spent about 600 quid on mods! Got exhaust and full decat coming, twin gauge a pillar pod, subframe locking kit, trying to sort a walbro and clear indicators. The R34 GTR alloys will be transferred from my Skyline, as will the SBC-ID and Powermeter and stereo. Then once I sorted that lot I'll be after a set of lowering springs and apexi induction with heatsheid. Think thats enough to do to a car thats not supposed to be costing me as much as the Skyline - LMAO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Dont forget the spacers for the r34 rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Oh and dont forget your front brembos off the GTR will fit the S14 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 And the RB26 too huh? What spacers mate? The R33 has 5mm jobbies on, should I transfer them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 think the 5mm may do the job, have a check on the sxoc forum Oh and your FMIC will go on too with some custom pipework Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

far Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 nice one Neil dude looking good! I thought the idea was to slay the juice guzzling monster and drive a more (economically) stable machine you modding monster you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 It will be mate! It will still do 25mpg - which is 8-9 more than the GTR - positively a diesel! Followed my mates 350Z the other day, he booted it and didn't pull much at all, few car lengths, was expecting a lot worse. Pulled up and told him he's gonna be gutted when I'm stage 1, especially considering my 200SX cost TWENTY THOUSAND pounds less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Lol, 350z's are easy prey for mildly modded 200SXs Then again most things are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im asking as another mate has just bought one Yours looks quality btw Neck and neck really, NA Supe 0-60 6.5, Stock S14 0-60 6.8, both have pretty much the same top end and benefit at higher speeds from RWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Brother Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Very nice. Can we expect a name change to EssexJawa now? (Think about it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
