A Carbuyers Guide To The Nissan 200sx

While checking out the Nissan 200sx we found that The Hard-edged 200SX driver focus

delivers firmer ride and feel than pretender rivals hence original shopping trolley buyers quit them early. Model now has cult status as serious driver's car ready for competition drifting. Many already seriously thrashed with engine chips and turbos boosted beyond factory durability levels.

Serious 147 kW engine boasts all-alloy construction including oil pan, sodium cooled exhaust valves, spray oil cooling for pistons, chain driven camshafts with variable inlet valve timing and fast response turbo with intercooler.

Almost bulletproof, it can die with poor quality oil and coolant or forgotten changes for big dollar repairs.Despite knock sensor, it needs the best fuel you can feed it. Weeping head gaskets, blocked oil spray jets, cooked valve stem seals, noisy turbo bearings, cracked or split exhaust manifolds are main worries on abused examples Check interior fittings and controls as some electrics fail including heater fans.

First local cars came only in red, burgundy, blue and grey. Bodysides prone to parking dings. Watch out for dodgy imports carrying identity of local wreck. Can you insure the car? High desirability means lock-up storage and custom alarm essential. Fine suspension is sensitive to tyre choice. Original tyres were V-rated Yokohamas.

Viscous rear limited slip diff works well but you need some skill if you must access the grunt in the wet. Suspension can generate uneven inner tread wear especially if lowered with wider wheels. Regular four wheel alignments are a must. Dampers and suspension bushes may need upgrading by now. Five stud wheel pattern a vast improvement over earlier 180SX four stud imports but check for broken wheel studs if you suspect hard usage with oversized tyres. Manual is a better match for turbo engine but auto still delivers plenty of lift. Clutch binding and slip and worn synchros can appear when thrashed or if the engine is tweaked. Check for excessive driveline lash. Superb four pot front brakes cost plenty if fluid changes overlooked.
