Forums Forums spinking : Nissan 200sx

Picked my car up today and its a bargain (sort of)

Got the car with 10months 2 months tax but it does need the engine sorting couple of little problems

Starter motor and for some reason it stalls from time to time i think this maybe due to the dump valve (or so i have been told)

Rights its a red 200 sx s13 facelift

17inch fox alloys

dump valve

full stanless exhaust

air filter of what make i havnt checked.

Not going to go over board on it and will be doing other bits 1st.

Before anybodys says YES it need dropping.

Pulls well and sounds great looking forward to playing with it proper soon.

Very nice matey

Think I may even have a spare starter

Stalling could be the DV if it not a piston type, or it could be a sticky AAC valve Both are very easy to sort

Thought you might know i will buy it stu got the money here what else is in your 200 shop.

Also got front and back struts and a laxy eye kit for it but not sure if i like the kit will have to have a look.

Will have to have a hunt round and see what bits I still have kicking round for the CA motor.

If I havnt got a starter, fairly sure I know someone local who has

Made up for ya tone, not sure if i could live with an S13 any more as their either

a)expensive to buy but will last u years
b)cheap to buy but will need rust and bottom end sorting which makes em expensive

Still absolutely lovely cars to look at. Give her some TLC and you'll have a winner. Spoiler REALLY isnt to my taste. Other than that, a perfect base

Taking that off matey its horrible boots alittle faded aswell but this has had new sills and there arches ok but they will be done when i sort the engine.

Stu were/who is the best person/s to get a engine for my car and fit it.

Its knocking but for the price of the car (cos its a facelift) i didnt mind getting it like it is still drives well should i put it on the rolling road though thats the question.

Just drove past this now and knew it had to be yours, looked a good buy. You'll have to take us out in it one day since its been awhile since we had a chat anyway

Really depends how badly its knocking

Sometimes you can get away with just shells if it not to bad, sometimes a crank regrind, and sometimes a new crank

Only person Id take the car to is Neil at Park Garage (Hes had plenty of experience with my old one ) Hes not a big fan of regrinding cranks, but I did it to my old one and its still running to this day - guess you get good ones and bad ones

Only way to be 100% sure is a new crank, but that costs ££££, maybe worth looking at the shells and doing some DIY if it looks like you may get away with just replacing them before the expense of removing the engine to deal with the crank

Thats a Mongoose exhaust too btw

what can i say mate, totally amazing, thanks for the spin even though we had to bump start it, lol

great bargin mate

At long last. made up for ya mate. you have been so patient waiting for the right one to come up at the right price. looks like its paid off shame about the minor faults but you dont mind getting your hands dirty so should be cheap to fix.

Once its running proper mate will do.

I need a smaller steering wheel dont like this one Also did the lsd test and its got one wasnt sure if it did but it has.

Stu can you give me the number of the person which did your old car or can you tell me were it is and i will go and get it looked at on thursday cheers matey.

U like ur small steering wheels dont ya tone,i remember the one in ur E30,that was a joke,i was hitting the stalks trying to catch the damn thing. Whats the LSD test involve? AFAIK all facelift models have LSDs dont they?

Get the bottom end sorted ASAP mate before u damage ur crank

Jack the backend up and spin 1 wheel and the other should spin the same way.

As far as i know all facelift models do but i was told all a reg xr4i's had a lsd and they dont.

But stu told me they had but still wanted to check as the lad who owne it last could of sold it or it may have been shafted.

i have a momo champion wheel for sale if u wanna buy it. lookin for about 60 will post pics on thursday if u want?
