At least is wasn't a Fabia VRS or a bloody BMW...

The good thing is, when you do try and drive it on a mildly damp road and stuff it into a ditch, you can just go get the Shogun to pull it out again!

p.s - How on earth are you going to get another xxx 18" RE in the back of that thing? :P :lol

lol!

no install planned for this car.. install is staying in the shogun.. might possibly move the satnav over, but that means il have to worry about two cars

SX is a good choice - not quite an M3, but good all the same

yeah true.. always wanted an M3, but apart from the fact that it has less power and i have to tell people i drive a Nissan its a lot rarer than an M3 in east london!! which is good

200sx's can be pretty lairy in the wet. So be careful if you haven't driven a RWD car before. This is also the reason why they cost so much to insure.

Got anymore mods planned?

i actually wanted a cream interior as it seems to hide its age better, but i've come round to the fact that black leather suits a black car better i guess..

i'm looking forward to the tale happy'ness!hehe technically the shogun is rwd, and i've had the backend step out on me in that (very scarey as it was unintentional) but it wont be the same thing as in the nissan i guess

no more mods planned, insurance is steep as it is, but maybe in the distant future..

But 8 previous owners???? That would ring alarm bells with me...

i saw a few W reg ones, but they were autos

would have been nice to get a later spec car though

8 previous owners did concern me, but it seems to check out

will find out when it falls apart on the way home from picking it up

Just seen this. Looks awesome apart from the scratches.
Strange, wifey has been using the car. (car has scratches

Love the wheels.

Dump valve has been removed for wastegate chatter

While its probably not done much harm. I would look to get an aftermarket dump valve, Recirc or VTA. If you like the chatter, you can adjust them so they chatter below say 0.3 bar then dump anything over, otherwise it will shorten the life of the turbo somewhat and there will be a drop in performance.

I have to agree insurance groups are not the be all and end all.

And

Good buy there

Bronze wheels on a black car just look awesome

I'm more worried by the fact that i kinda like the noise it makes and will end up keeping it like that and killing the turbo! but he will be providing the stock DV so i have the choice to put it back in if needed

cheers for the comments guys

ps. the audio is getting ripped out! me with a Mac audio sub?

yeh right!

Jonny-5 · 29-11-2006, 11:20 AM

not really, those t28's take it fine, its only the new ball bearing turbos that cant handle it.

ad it decreases performance to have a dump valve. think about it, accelerate, release accelerator, dump valve goes off, accelerate, turbo has to spool up again

Orca · 29-11-2006, 11:23 AM

Nice motor Tej.

Book me in for a spin at the next MOTB please. I've fancied one of these for a while

godr101 · 29-11-2006, 11:24 AM

anyway its a lush car dont like the exhaust tho get a turboxs one off ebay (they manifolds crack but the exhausts are quality), and add a few silencer boxes.

tej · 29-11-2006, 11:31 AM

I'l probably still be coming to most meets in the shogun, as i'l have no install in this car.. its going to stay light

but you guys are more than welcome to a spin(no pun intended!)

ps. Orca, you still owe me a ride in the 300CE

got any links

i'm starting to like the big bore ricer ones

but the mongoose seems like a nice compromise.. and if you beleive the hype about the airfilter and the exhaust it should give me a 20-30hp increase!?

mini_basser · 29-11-2006, 04:17 PM

No, but if you keep on doing it you might

Notice how Tej multi-quoted above...

Tej: nice one dude

I'm still quite liking the idea of getting an SX!

Jamie. · 29-11-2006, 07:46 PM

some like to lead, others like to follow

good choice tej, look after it and service it regularly!

Yes genuine Nismo alloys are pretty rare, they are something like £1400 with no import/VAT duty & no tyres! Make sure you have some locking wheel nuts

I wouldn't worry too much about 8 owners if it checks out ok, a lot of people buy cars like these & realise they cant afford to run them due to expense & practicallity etc.

If you are after some tuning parts like exhausts check out some of the jap import websites, I have used www.nengun.com a few times in the past & always had good service. Will probably still work out cheaper than buying over here even if you get charged duty

Pimpster · 30-11-2006, 11:10 AM

Very very nice Tej mate!
