1990 Nissan 200SX 1.8 twin cam turbo from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Everything you'd want in a car
Faults:
Clutch went just after purchase, started to slip under boost.
Diff beginning to clunk when taking up drive.
A couple of rear tires.
In garage as I type this, getting new suspension bushes and steering fixed.
Wheel studs.
General Comments:
For a reasonably standard car, it's extremely good value for money.
Handling in the dry is unbeatable, over-steers willingly when provoked, yet remains easily controllable. Just nuts in the wet, any sign of boost, and traction walks off on you, yet still remains reasonably controllable.
Interior is handling its age well, clock on gauge cluster no longer lights up, seems to be the only issue inside the car.
No rust at all, a couple of small dents on sides of car. Soon to be repainted white.
Engine is mint, blows no smoke, turbo is beginning to whine, to be replaced soon with T28 off SR20det.
Only had it up to about 238km/h, almost at limiter in 5th gear, was still pulling!
Well worth what I paid for it, its everything you could possibly want in a car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
