1991 Nissan 200SX review from UK and Ireland
"210BHP rapid 200SX for a student"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When owned, car boost was dropping off and causing misfiring, Nissan could not find out problem until I rang head office in London and stirred things up, new intercooler £120 thank you.
Turbo just blown, hybrid time, with Norris actuator 15psi, K&N induction, NGKs, ECU chipped, awaiting beast from garage. 210 BHP and still at university, yeh! Thank you student loan.
General comments?
Good accelaration at 177bhp (mine), change oil every 4500m with mobil 1, change oil pipe to turbo, run down, raced Impreza Turbos and new GT4s - they're crap, twin turbo Supras - just leave em alone to do their thing. Had 205 Dimma before, utter crap, 200SX is a good car as standard but a bit tame, get mine back modified soon, 210 bhp rapid.
Don't go by plate, go by condition and the way the car drives, should be effortless.
