Nothing really, I've only had it a month.

The fan belt needs replacing and I think a dump valve will be fitted to help keep the turbo alive for as long as possible.

General Comments:

One main problem that I have is that it has no manual with it and I can not find any copies of an aftermarket version, e.g. Haynes manual or anything like that.

The actual car is perfect though, fast as you like, I think it is extremely comfortable as well and so do all who have been inside it, the looks are gorgeous and all in all this is my perfect car!!

Faults:

Nothing yet (I've only had it a few weeks) but one of the front shocks needs replacing which means replacing both fronts. I've bought a pair from a discount Nissan parts mailorder place for £70 each, which isn't cheap but is certainly cheaper than paying a dealer to do it.

General Comments:

Good all round performance but I'm a little bit disappointed by the lack of torque at low revs, my old VW Scirocco pulled better off the line without having to rev the pants off it.

Faults:

Nothing major....yet (This is my second 200SX and the last one blew two turbos in about 15 months... ouch!).

New exhaust (200 quid), timing belt at 60,000 miles, brake pads etc.

General Comments:

Seriously underrated car, I'm looking for my third one.

If you want 140 mph, sub 7 sec 0-60 performance for less than 4 grand there's no real competition.

This car is a fast, fun alternative to a 944 at half the price, and you can get a couple of mountain bikes in the back with the seats down... believe me it's true!

Reliability is supposedly excellent, but in my experience is patchy (100% or nothing, I've had both). Regular (fully synthetic) oil changes are recommended unless you want to buy a new turbo, although I've heard that the turbo problem with early models can be sorted by fitting a bigger diameter oil-feed hose.

Handling is fine in the dry, dodgy in the wet, and terrifying in snow or ice. Be warned!

Other comments:- Pretty cheap to run/service. I can get 30 mpg no problem. Eats tyres, pads, discs.

No class/image/kudos but who cares?

Do yourself a favour and get a well looked after FSH example and smile as you blow off anyone who tries to overtake.

Everyone will think you're a hairdresser though.

Blown turbo at 55,000 miles. New clutch, gearbox and exhaust needed prior to purchase. Replacement exhaust after just 20,000 miles! Plenty of tyres, cambelt discs and pads.

General Comments:

Deceptively quick and responsive. Turbo coarse, and tyres too narrow as standard. Looks to be a cheap and unusual buy (which it is) but can gobble up money like there's no tomorrow. Fuel economy very poor for engine size as high teens is not unusual.

Faults:

Bottom end went foo bar, cheaper to have repacement engine @ £1000 than to repair, new turbo and clutch fitted with engine replacement: total cost £1850. Sunroof sqeals when down at high speeds ;-)

Fitted K&N induction kit & Mongoose SS exhaust system, 17" Smith's 5 spokes with 215 X 45 Yokahoma A520 tyres with more engine mods on the way. Now makes the right noises and it takes corners like it's on rails.

A very under rated car, it will blow away most in its class. I've had a timed 6.5 0-60. Interior a bit dull but on the outside it's a different beast. It also grumbles a bit when it's not run on Super Unleaded.
