1986 Nissan 200SX XE from North America - Comments

Front two brake disk pads have broken.

Rust near the rear wheel wells.

Seats have become hard, but still somewhat comfortable.

Burns oil, but does not smoke.

Uses up power steering fluid quite a bit.

Wire harness loose.

Spark plug wires loose.

Excellent cabin, although back seat space is nonexistent.

All digital dash, everything electronic, you would think it'd take two batteries for everything.

Excellent stock stereo system, comes with graphic equalizer and 4 excellent, and easily modifiable speakers (have hooked up 2 after-market large speakers in addition, in the hatch).

Was a Rally Car... run extremely hard, but still runs like new, albeit a few hiccups now and then.

Really speeds when you learn how to drive it. I've raced quite a few cars (Camaros, Corvettes, RX7, etc), and the car performs wonderfully. It's quite satisfying to see the look on a hot-rodders face as you beat them in this little hatchback.

I own a 86 200SX turbo and am seeking people who may know or have done modifications to this car. Please let me know anything.

I have an 86 200sx with the 2.0L. I wrecked it the first week in Dec. 2 years ago, and I lost my condenser for the AC. I was wondering if any body knew what I can and can't take off dealing with the AC. You can e-mail me at WDKING69@aol.com. Thanks.

I own a 1986 200 sxxe and my ac pump is not even hooked up! The only thing holding the pump in the engine bay is the return hose. No wires, no bolts, no nothing. It is literally hanging in the engine bay. So, if it helps any my car runs perfect. Who needs AC anyway? Isn't that what power windows are for? My suggestion is just take the whole thing out STARTING with the fusebox relay. I hope this bit of information is beneficial to you. Good Luck and God's Speed to you.

Unborn 200.
