Hi All,

In 19 days I'm beginning to go shopping in order to get myself a s14 200sx (I know not quite a skyline but hey its still a nissan).

At the moment I'm sifting through classifieds to see what ones are on the market. I'm running out places to look. (I'm after a stockish one [particularly no boost controllers etc] That has done around 100,000km - 120,000km MAX, my budget is around $20-25k.)

Do any of you know of some respected classifieds that aren't listed below?

www.carsguide.com.au

www.carpoint.com.au

www.autoweb.com.au

www.motorpoint.com.au

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance

20-25k????

are you ok?

you could easily pick 1 up for 17-19k

Hahaha, yeah thats the max I'm going to pay (more like 20, but negotiate down from 25)

Just after a good conditioned one which isn't going to be a lemon

You missed my favorite one: www.carsales.com.au. Most of their adds have pics. As far as up-to-date'ness concerned Autotrader(trading post) is the best one.

Basically all those web sites would have about 90% of cars for sale. The rest are either not advertised or advertised through specialist forums (like this one).

stretch yourself to 25k and buy an s15 :P

Yeah insurance would be even worse on it though and 20 is more my max but im looking at 25's to try and negotiate down to a more reasonable price

Btw, just out of curiousity, how would my premium be looking (comprehensive) with an s14

I'm 18.5 and have had no accidents or driving offences.

premiums on 200s (according to a mate at AAMI, and many others here) is more than a skyline and wrx. although the excesses are cheaper. i would presonally rather a car with lower premiums. i always thought i would get an s14 for my next car cause i assumed inusrance would be less....

    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm. 
    • I don't believe you.
    • All jokes aside, OP they're just called R32 oem rims as you said. The Nissan engineers back in the late 80's loosely copied the design from the Koya Driftek which was designed and produced about 18 years later.
