Matt 6 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 This advert is for me. I am looking for a Nissan 200SX S13 Got to be fairly solid and running well. Standard Spec is ideal but will consider anything. PM me if you can help Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Look out for tail gate rot the stock spoiler holds water lots of it and the bolt holes were not sealed well enough in the factory, boot floor rot due to bad sealing of the on the rear light clusters. Rot around the front suspension turrets. There is a piece of metal tack welded on to the wing side of each front turret that is the main focus of the rust. This can look a lot worse than it is, taking the plates off and welding new one is often all that is required. Most original SMIC’s (NS) will be useless buy now. The CA180DET engine can suffer end float on the crank and still run quite well. There is an oil line feed to the turbo that can cause starvation. Quite a few owners increase the bore of this as a matter of course. The stock radiator is pretty weak look for overflow evidence around the expansion tank OS turret fresh paint in this area is a give away. Apart from that little lot and probably more, it is a fantastic base to work from to produce a really quick car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 6 Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 Got to be an S13, don't like the S14 at all for some strange reason don't know why. Can't afford an S14A and my Supra and I am not getting rid of the Supra!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I wish I'd never sold mine awwwwww I have to admit I don't drive it much, but it's a fantastic car to drive since i stuck the rollcage and the coilovers on it. I might sell it next year, but will probably have to fix the turbo as it sounds a bit unhealthy after I went on a drifting day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Ah yes, that pristine interior that you ripped out omg, what have you done to the turbo?! I nursed that baby for 7.5 years! How's it doing for rust, etc? Man, that was a truly great car. 7.5 years and the only things I had to change were consumables like tyres, exhaust and battery. A service every 6 months and absolutedly nothing went wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A service every 6 months and absolutedly nothing went wrong with it. The interior is safely stowed behind my sofa Turbo makes a bit of a rasping noise. Had to have a bit of welding done for rust, but overall it's good. Can't think of anything that has gone wrong, although I've not done more than about 4K. I was thinking about welding the diff to make it better for drifting, but probably won't bother as I don't really want to knacker the handling on the road. A few people I've spoken to reckon the optional viscous diff isn't much of an improvement over the open diff and not worth upgrading to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
