1999 Nissan 200SX Spec r review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
I was so impressed with my second hand Japanese import non-turbo that I just had to upgrade to a newer NZ new turbo.
I wanted more power and what I got was effortless, seamless power that still gives me a bit a shock when, on the rare occasion that I plant my foot, makes me grin from ear to ear.
Although well equiped the car is understated both inside and out and serves well as an every-day vehicle.
I just nice to know the power is there when you need it without having to sacrifice everyday useability. With a bit of fun and good looks thrown in its a great all round sports car.
