I like the s14 's better cause theres less out the ,and the seem to hold the value better.But they should be two seater as the back seats like a esky to seat in.lol.standard skylines look tuffer but if your gona do mods the 200 is the way to go.

p.s if he gets a 200 just make sure it gets lowerd 4inch's cause there real high:lol:

There is a crap load more of the newer 200sx's around that R33 in melbourne so I wouldn't say you're going to get anything more unique. Skylines have more power, more potential for power if that's what you're after. If you want something that looks sporty and has potential then go the 200SX. Guess you have the advantage of local parts seeing as it was sold locally.

$22k for a 98 200sx seems to cheap too me.. probably got problems of some type? They seem to hover around the $30k mark.

My friend has a 98 200sx mid spec 5sp and he paid $21k its very clean and no troubles the guy owed alot of cash ,had to sell quick.yes theres more s15 200sx out there but not s14 series 2,most are series 1 with the gay front headlights.

and as for less power ,have u ever raced 1?trust me there not that slow at all.my mate can blow stock 33's and all his got is 14psi ,3inch cat back.It may not make as much kw's as a 33 but think about it ways 300kg less!

I don't know whether I said heaps less power, just potential power but really you can do anything to either... just you can probably take a gts-t further for the same price. And on figures for standard form: S14 is 0-100 in 6.9...R33 GTS-T 6.2

But no, i've never raced one - but i've seen plenty of pretty insane ones with 300kw+ r/w like in mags, etc. I look forward to giving it a try at the track though sometime in my R33 ..could have a 180sx/200sx vs Skylines day that would be pretty good fun :P

But anyway, i don't know much about the 200sx and all the in's and out's so i'll keep quiet now :bahaha: I like them, and considered getting one but i like the skylines.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
