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?

Skylines Classifieds Section

www.drive.com.au

www.tradingpost.com.au

www.carsguide.com.au

www.carpoint.com.au

www.autoweb.com.au

http://cracker.com.au/

www.motorpoint.com.au

http://www.autoguide.com.au

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance

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).

Also try www.firesport.com I was pointed this way when i was looking for a car and found they have a lot of stuff on their, but i think once you look at the main 3 carsales, carpoint and drive, you will start seeing mostly the same cars again.

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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
