1990 Nissan 200SX s13 review from UK and Ireland

"The original beast from the east"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Possible manifold gasket or cracked manifold I'm yet to have this checked.

Turbo has an extremely loud wail which has been there since I bought the car in January, but has gotten worse.

The right support bar on the drivers seat has snapped and the usual rust on the boot-lid under spoiler, also on passenger front wing.

General comments?

This car isn't as fast as I expected, but that could be down to my turbo problem and even so is still relatively quick going off the clock at 150mph.

Everyone says this car should do 0-60 in 6.5 seconds, but I clocked mine at 8.7 seconds.

Otherwise this car is superb she handles like she's on rails unless it's wet then you might find the back end gets a bit carried away, but remains reasonably controllable.

Although I do remember 1 incident when I left a garage by the exit accelerated to hard and literally went right back in the entrance.

Seat's aren't very supportive, but then again mine is broken and the back is being held up by an old bass box.

Cabin is a bit boring, but also simple and everything is easy to find.

You may find you have problems fitting an after market CD player and will probably have to strip the shiny bit of the center console.

Parts are expensive, fuel costs are high, but it is a reliable car and treated properly should serve you well for years to come.
