Verynice matey welldone BRING IT THE MEET Thurdsay.

nice car, bet you cant wait something with a turbo lol.

yer cant w8t got some big plans again wana get some buckets an a rollcage first an a few other bits

Take it easy at first mate,its a big change to RWD

shaun with a turbo......oh sh*t, na only kidding wonder what the first mod will be......

Very nice mate, I like it alot

Listen to scoop, I went from rwd to fwd, now I'm back to rwd - and it's still a surprise on wet roads.

Where are these import sites? All I ever find are the ones already here down in essex a million miles away or the sites all in mandarin?

this company do imports

If you go on the sxoc website there are plenty of bit for sale for your car at the moment matey.

Also try driftworks.

I am buying stuf from Apex who seem to be very pop with the 200 peps.

You comming the meet 2mora???

i dont really like them shaun but you get what u wnat in the end!!!!!!!do ya like me sig???

i love 200s,not keen on the bumpers and lights design of ur model but love the side profile.SXOC mate,loads of parts there

i dnt like the front of them duno sumthink weird lookin about them not bad from the back but just cnt see me self sittin in it!oh well ur choice chicken!only anuva week b4 u can drive it till then u can only clean it and look at it.haha

Very nice matey

How much boost is it running? Be very careful as the import cars are mapped for a higher RON level of fuel than in the UK which can cause problems

The only company to make seat rails for these cars is bride and Cobra, but cobra will only sell the rails with a set of seats.

am unshure wot boost it is running i had to fill it up with 97ron on the way home as i cudnt find a petrol station that sold optimax. i havnt actualy drove it yet jus reversed it onto my drive way .it also has a blitz turbo timer but dont seam to be able to get to work

Careful now.

how do you not know what boost its running, when clear as day, unless my eye s decieve me, there is a boost guage stareing you in the face, mounted on the steering column.

Get some optimax in it,and get it out on the road now,then look at the boost guage,and tell us what boost its running lol

well i have startted it up an i have never owned a turboed car so am not to sure an i cant drive it at the mo cos i dont have any insureance til the 20th august

you tell them he he he

well its bin a long week with not being able to drive the car till sunday so ive bin doin the few odd jobs on the car ive removed the rear fog light an the back end looks alot better .i also made a new gear gater which am going to do again with a diffrent material .i have fixed my turbo timer i spent a while wondering how i got it to work thinking it was broken an my mate chris pointed out that i shud try an plug it in lolololololol also got some parts on order an shud be here b4 sunday i hope
i have orderd this intercooler



this gear knob

shiny bits!

New parts look ace mate,what u gonna do about the fog light? u gonna fit a high wattage bulb somewhere in ur clusters? u have to have one!

looks very nice m8 wat othere mods u doin

Nice matey hope the intercooler isnt a arse to fit. This mean your comming the nextmeet in it
?????

You going to lower it???

ill be out init on sunday also got a tubular manifold as well but the intercooler will be here with the manifold in 4 weeks

If your fitting a tubular manifold, get some braided water and oil feeds. The flex on the manifolds can easily snap the OEM metal items

Also, for fitting the FMIC, you'll either have to relocate the battery to the boot, or get a small race battery, as the cold pipe goes through the battery tray.

am allready on it lol shud have the parts in 4 weeks so got time to sort that out

some good mods there, only one day to go

well ill have it on the raod 2morw so i cant w8 .just bought a b and m short shifter so ill have that soon

well things arnt of to a good start . i was on my way into work when sumone came shooting across a round about to wards the side of my car an i had no choice but to drive onto the kerb at about 15-20mph which caused me to bend my lower suspention arm an take a large chunk out of my wheal. if i hadnt of moved out of the way he wud have taken the side of my car out but wot made it worse was that he drove of leaving me there. the parts have cost me £120 which is alot cheaper than a new side of a car. but all i hope is that things get better

i wudda let him hit me mate. That way ur car gets fixed up for FREE and u dont lose ur no claims,so ur not out of pocket at all. And maybe a bit of whippy (one thousand free pound coins at least)

it sounds bad but everyone does it.Cant believe u let the guy cause u to crash all on ur own

well ive bin hit buy people b4 an it does go against ur name an it wasnt the first thing in my mind

When you get the lower arm, check the condition of the ball joint as they often tend to split the rubbers when they are removed.

Nissan dont sell the ball joints seperatly, only with a complete bottom arm, so if the ball joints knackered you may need the complete item from Nissan.

There is a company in the states that will sell the ball joints on there own, if you need some gimmie a shout and Ill try and hunt the name down as I bought a pair for my 5 stud conversion - not cheap, but works out cheaper than the full Nissan bottom arm, plus Nissan UK wont recognise your chassis number for parts as it an import.

If the bottom arm has been bent, also check the tie rod and associated bushes, and the antiroll bar link arm.

Nice, take it easy tho, ive had mine for just over 12 months and still shat meself going fast through bends etc.
Love the JDM spec heater controls, much better than the crap UK ones. Got to get meself a rear JDM bumper tho, and one of them front splitters.
Oh yeah, throw some Tesco 99RON in it, just to make sure!

Empty your inbox mate its full, ill have it anyways if its not damaged, let me know where and when

Looking good matey get yourself to a meet.

well finaly some parts have arived i have now fitted a decat pipe full exhust system a dump valve and a short shifter. all where a pain in the arse to fit but thats where all the fun is . ill get some pics up soon an shud have a few more parts turn up next week

really enjoyed ya taking us round the block, was really impressed with the way it pulled four up, sounded very nice to lol.

Photo shoot on my mates private work place

Very nicely sideways - I like it

heres a little pic of my intercooler had to get an idea of wot it wud be like on the car lol

jus got to fit the thing now

u sad get, thats pritty funny though

witoo haha

ROFLMAO Im in tears over that pic tis feckin halarious

you seem pretty happy at where them pipes are going

lmao that last pic is sooo funny, u do seem so happy haha xXx

Arnt you alittle old for bumbeds

If you speak to sean get him to send me some of the video clips from today if he can matey.

Oh and by the way your car sound great.

i have to share my room with my brothers lol

wot u mean where those pipes are going more like where they have been

lol,
shaun u bum boy, intercooler does look nice though, whens it getting fitted?

duno when it is getting fitted will be after my gear box is sorted out . might do it this weekend

this weekend? only got a couple of hours left, lol, u mean next weekends, when all your bruising had gone, lol

As I mentioned the other night mate, Id really consider relocating the battery to the boot before you fit the cooler.

The small battery in the engine bay doesnt really work that well

On earlyer 200's Ive had Ive fitted the smaller battery, but always relocated to the boot. The last 2 Ive had, Ive relocated first time round to save faffing round with the battery twice.

ok its bin a while since i updated this topic so heres the update

over the past few weeks ive had alot arive at my door from apexthe was the frount mounted intercooler which has made quite a drierance once it was fitted .i removed a small device in the boost pipes which took my boost up to 0.7 bar from 0.5 but after i fitted the intercooler it droped back down to 0.5 due to the size of the intercooler

new intercoller set up

this is the stanard size

while this was beeing fitted we removed the boost limiter which gave me lees boost in 1st 2nd and 3rd gears an more in 4th an 5th .we also took the charcole canister of and the front fog lights.i also removed the dumpvale an blocked the pipe of an fitted a k an n fillter so now i have a nice chatter noise.i also fitted a small pipercross fillter to the breather on the rocker cover so that the oil over time doesnt get into the intercooler here are some pics of it beeing fitted


i have also bought some more parts as well
i have had a short shifter

a apexi avcr boost controoler

tubular manifold with 2xbraided hoses for the oil an 1 for the water

a decat pipe

welbro fuel pump

i have also fitted a 35 mm lowering kit whick had stifend the car up quite abit a given it a lower ride hight

Nice matey see your spending your money well. Get on the drift day on the 9th of dec she how its running under load.

Bet its looks alot better lowered sean.

ok i had aload more stuff arive the other day ill have some pics up 2morw. i also didnt realise that the rolling road was this weekend so i got onto my mate an he recons ther is about 10 hours work in fitting everything i have orderd an seting it all up so there will be a few late nights this week getting it realy .hopfully shud see around 300bhp then its time for a cluch an some more parts to get some more power out

cool, if you need an extra pair of hands then let me no,

should be good when you have got it all done

... that reg plate lets the whole thing down ...

the reg plate is a legal one i have a show one but evertime i put it on a copper pops out of the fooking sky an slaps me with a £30 fine

ok bin a while since ive put anything up on here. Ive got a few more mods to put on the car an ill get some pics up tomorw.
I have decided to put the car into have a respray around the end of febuary. I am goint to have a new set of wheals put on the car an also going to put a carbon bonet an boot on the car. Am not going to put any hnuge kits on it mabie jus get a pair of side skirts that came on the s14a an a difrent pair of mirrors just got to decide on the colour now

some people have just too much money!

waht about white? dont think ive seen many of them in white. think itd look good with the carbon boot and bonnet. ganador mirrors are well nice on jap cars.

a nice shiny blue,like electric blue,or scooby blue

i was thinking of a blue but not to shure yet need some photo chops doing

get some hi wuality pics up of ur car from some good angles and ill chop em mate
