I'm just glad to be back driving the damn thing.

I've been driving my Boss's 200sx for the time that mine has been off the road. That period of time was meant to be like two to three weeks. Thanks to Nissan the new bonnet didn't arrive in time for Christmas so the whole car didn't get sprayed until Tuesday or Wednesday last week.

The 200sx is a nice car, it's a lot better than you would normally hope for as a loaner, but I tell you what, I'm SO glad to be back in mine. It's just a lot sharper.

And I can't stop running the back of my hand accross it. She's lovely.

How much does it cost, well, if you were to pay for it probably about $4,500 - $6,000 depending on paint and how much work to do to get the car straight. Mine was paid for mainly by insurance with a little put in by me.

Bec... I'm writing this from the car, doona in the passenger seat :D

The paint is all stock but it's as smooth a virgin's boob.

It's just beatiful. I dont want to drive it now. I work in Dandenong and the dust off all the freeway works coats the car every day.

I wonder how long it would take to ride a bike from Doncaster East to Dandenong ????

They said they put a little sumint sumint into it to give it a bit more pop, but nothing special. Nothing you wouldn't be able to easily match at any time.

I saw it in the sun for a few minutes this arvo, it's even better when it's sunny!!

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
