1981 Datsun 200SX from North America - Comments

Battery, tires, brakes.

We have had this car since day one. All bolts are still plated like new. The paint on the bottom of the car is still there.

We are replacing belts all filters, spark plugs, wires etc, struts, brake pads, rear springs, radiator, and will also do the steering joints.

This is a hatchback with power windows, in medium gray metallic/matching interior.

We lost one of the little wheel caps that goes to the aluminum spoke wheels.

The engine runs excellent. We drive it approx. 5 to 6k per year.

I would definitely hang onto your 200SX, not many of them are around and these cars have bulletproof reliability along with them being fun to drive and they get really good gas mileage, those cars sure can take a beating.

Well last weekend we replaced the rear springs. what a difference this makes. my next project is to change the ball joints. after that I will try and get a kit to replace the rubber fittings on the steering and tension rod system.

I am looking for a set of the plastic hubs that fit on the spoke aluminum wheels. one fell off.

Finished doing all the ball joints. tyrod joints. next is alignment. I search the net and can't find any of my model and style. Do I have a rare hatchback? my next project is to flush the clutch system. I recently replaced the master clutch cylinder and slave.

I am also looking for a replacement for my electric antenna.

Maybe next week I will post a photo.
