1991 Nissan 200SX review from UK and Ireland
"Not as quick as Scoob's, but 1/3 the price and you get to exploit more of the car's abilities"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window cable snapped at 110mph - breezy.
Exhaust manifold gasket replaced.
Turbo decided to retire.
Rear shocks replaced.
The above are all wear & tear items.
Car had full service history up to 117000.
Finding it hard to get a reading on the dip-stick even after an oil change. Has anyone else had this problem?
General comments?
Also I can hear the bearings making a bit of noise on startup until the oil pressure builds up after a few seconds.
The engine sounds 'tappety' after a good scorching. Any thoughts?
Anyway, nice acclecration and brakes. Steering is sharp. Overall handling is biased towards the enthusiast - tail happy.
Fun machine to drive and own and I am getting about 26 mpg. Beats driving a Bluebird and other mundane machinery. It's also nice blowing off those poxy TDI Audis and VW's.
