1997 Nissan 200SX Sports Limited review from Australia and New Zealand
"Awesome car that can be modified infinitely at a budget price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two Blown Head Gaskets within two years.
Also compared to the R33 Skyline GTS-T, it's a light car!
General comments?
Two blown head gaskets, but only because I drive the car hard! Too bad for the North Americans because this car is awesome! The engines are designed with so much potential to modify, just adding an after-market air filter and 3inch pipe from the turbo back will add another 15% to the cars performance! In stock specs, it will beat a fully modified Mits FTO. With the added two modifications above, it will outrace both the R32 adn R33 Skyline GTS-T's, Porsche Boxter and Subaru WRX (stock). I know because I've raced them all and beaten them! And in an automatic!
