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!!

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
