1986 Nissan 200SX review from North America
"A high performing money stealer!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering is leaking fluid.
There is oil leaking from the turbocharger and from the bottom of the bellhosing. There is a little bit of smoking from this.
Left rear seatbelt didn't work.
Had to weld the exhaust at 203000 kilometers.
2 Fuel injectors were seeping at 200000 kilometers, the cost just for the parts was $470.
General comments?
This was an all around good, reliable car.
It handles awesome and I'm liking the rear wheel drive.
However the parts are very expensive!
Nothing really started going wrong with the car until it hit 200000 kilometers and now it seems like I'm at the shop every 2 weeks!
