1988 Nissan 200SX SE review from North America
"A Solid Sleeper!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Calipers Starting to stick.
Exhaust Starting to Clog.
Passenger Side Wiper doesn't work.
Sagging rear Suspension.
The rack & pinion steering leaks from one of the boots.
The vinyl is starting to peel or sag.
General comments?
I have kept regular maintenance up on this car. I flushed the coolant, brake fluid, clutch fluid (brake fluid), regular waxing & Detailing. it has almost 200k miles on it, and still runs quick! compression is no lower than 120psi on all cylinders. I plan to make this car put out 300 Horsepower. It will have a great suspension, awesome exhaust, and many custom creations to upgrade this car. Overall, I would Highly Recommend that if you see this car, buy it. you can't get body kits like the hondas can, but who needs them, this car smokes those things!
