No thanks. But I'll sell it to you

How about for this weekend (2/6 -> 4/6) I'll drop the price a thousand dollars... $13,900

Bumpskies Had a few lookers but not much other than that. But it's always nice to meet people interested in cars. The 200SX is still for sale, and the price is still negotiable

Perhaps. PM me complete details, price and pictures. Pleas

All PMs replied The car isn't driven anymore, it's parked in my garage all washed and waxed and waiting for someone to come love it

Needs: two new tyres on stock rims I'm the third owner in ten years. I bought it in early December 2005 muchly stock (boost gauge, stock boost, engine damper). It hasn't been thrashed or flogged around, I can't afford to crash it or hit someone else. At the moment it drives around on low boost 8.5psi. It's been tuned and mechanically looked after by Justin at RXEngineering, Newcastle, with a safe 200rwkw 14psi using the Microtech LT-10s ECU. I recently had it compression tested (143 across the board) and detuned to 190rwkw to improve fuel economy with the recent petrol price rises I have dyno sheets from both 200rwkw and 190rwkw retune I bought it with 183,524 kms on the clock; it has just turned over 190xxxkms. I haven't driven it much since it turned over 190xxx, just been sitting, washed and waxed, in the garage. I've serviced it three times since buying it - oil with Motul semi-synth and filter with genuine Nissan filter. I had the gearbox oil changed at 188xxx kms with Redline Shockproof. Asking price: $14,900 neg. Contact: either PM me here or SMS 0419 300 485. Location: Newcastle, NSW Oh, and I also have a set of PIAA Rozza JP deep dish rims on it at the moment (can see them in some of the pics). 18x9 +17 front 18x10 +5 rear If the buyer is interested I'll sell them with the car for a bit extra (stockies still included), otherwise I'll sell them seperately for $2500. They really keep the car on the road, 10" wides, and makes it look much phatter When I first bought it... And now... Got any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks guys!

Got my attention, so just just a couple of questions... Who performed the conversion? Who engineered the car? Why are you selling? Do you have power figures? How much boost is it running at the moment? Stock RB25DET turbo still? Has the car been raced/driven hard/etc since the conversion? (I know I'd be tempted ) Are you decided on a cash sale, or up for a trade? If willing to trade, what kind of car would you be interested in? If not, would you accept $14500 straight up? Cheers for any answers, looking forward to pics when you get them up...

Definitely interested as my S14 factory tint has started peeling when the window goes down I'll be giving him a call tomorrow, that's a great price even if I have to travel from Newcastle... Hornsby's only 1.5hr away Now to decide on 15% or 30%...

Hrm, compared to this particular series1 steering wheel? Unless you were on the track, taking out an airbag steering wheel leans a bit on the stupid side. Hardly any different to an S2 steering wheel... But I suppose some people like wank factors and spend ~$300 for a wheel that's nowhere near as beneficial, but at least has "MOMO" in the middle of it Don't fix what's not broken, y'know?

I went through this stage of questioning a month ago when choosing my new car. So here's my experience and words of wisdom... When I first started shopping around in May '05, all I knew was I wanted turbo power that I could mod, and that I'd loved Skylines since I was 13, so naturally I went straight to the GTRs, The Shit of the Skyline family. I test drove a range of R32 GTRs and GTS-Ts, but the GTRs were a little out of my price range at $22,000 and for their age, I wouldn't settle for less than a GTR. I also drove a few R33 GTS-Ts and they were great, definitely loved the comfortability and mmm, the 6-cyl turbo power But of course, when it came to actual driving, they handled like the big car they are and that turned me off a bit, since I was used to smaller-sized vehicles and the way they handle. Not necessarily a fault of the Skyline, it's just my past experiences and current needs/comfort levels coming through... quite the contrary, I love the bigger size of them, aesthetically speaking. Getting a bit disappointed with the quality of the cars I was test-driving (private sales, didn't want to go dealership or import if I didn't have to), my mate eventually convinced me to have a drive of a 1996 S14 series 1 200SX. Now, I had looked at them on carsales and tended to avoid them, thinking they were more rice than race, so I was hesitant about meeting up with a guy for a drive. I wasn't exactly fond of the body shape on first glance, it looked pretty Camry-like, as people have already posted, (although the sleeker, bullet-shape did snag me) and I was definitely still in love with the fat-ass of the Skyline, how low it sits and fat it looks on the road... ...but after the first test drive I was hooked; the handling was very responsive, the driver seat was comfortable (I love the "cockpit" feel), hitting boost in the lighter car felt awesome, it just zoomed along with almost no effort. It handled better than I ever thought it would, and there was more power than I imagined for a 2.0L 4-cyl engine. There are many more pro's to it that I am personally attracted to, such as the fuel economy of the 4-cyl as opposed to the larger 6-cyl, the relative cheapness of mods, and the look once decent body work is done I'm also after looks and some mild-power from my S14, around the 225rwkw area, which that can be achieved with mild-mods (exhaust, injectors, EBC, ECU, fuel pump, pod filter, etc, but too much more power and you'll be wanting to mess with SR20 internals... $$$). So I bought it. And I love it. Sometimes I see a Skyline on the road and feel a bit guilty for admiring that sexy whale and also for betraying my first love, but when I'm cruising down the highway, hugging tight Kiama corners, or rolling through a parking lot and get some glances to see what it is, I know I made the right choice. That said, it's most important you choose what car to buy based on your experiences and tastes. Test drive them all, and then some!; put each car through it's paces. Think about what you want in it and see which car has those things. Do you like the body shape? Does it handle as well as you expected, is it as responsive as a sports car should be? Does the size of the car matter?-- city driving/parking/overall feel? What about age of the car?-- you'll notice the difference between the interior of a '91 R32, '93 s1 R33 and a '96 s1 S14 (I know which I prefer!). And safety-- R32/s1 R33 without airbags, or s1 S14 with driver and passenger airbags? Will you be putting mates in it on a regular basis?-- Skyline has considerably roomier rear seating. And how tall are you?--not much headroom in the S14, although at 6'2 I fit rather snug. You said it'll be a daily driver, no track use, but will you still mod it? Research costs of owning (insurance?), running (fuel costs?) and maintaining (services?) each car. No doubt you'll be wanting to give it a run down the highway once in a while, just to, y'know, make sure it's all in working sports-car order. But most importantly, pick the one you feel comfortable driving, especially if you'll be driving it a while
