My First 200SX

[slithertooth]

Got fed up looking for a decent RX8 so on impulse I bought this, spec was impressive but there were a few issues with it that I'm still trying to sort
Spec!!
NISTUNE ECU

Boost Controller,

HKS 2540 Turbo,

Tubular Manifold,

Big Elbow + Downpipe, Heat Wrapped,

550 Injectors,(?? look like s15)

z32 AFM,(Green label RB25)

Strut Brace,

Engine Damper,

R33 Front Brakes,

Lightened Flywheel,(looks standard)

Paddle Clutch, (exedy stage 2)

Front Mount Intercooler,

Alloy Rad,

Full Exhaust System,(Homemade scrap )

HKS Coilovers ( Top Mount Adjustable )

Locking Collars,

Reclining Bucket Seats,(Welded to the floor by Stevie Wonder)

18 Inch Split Wheels, 8.5 Front, 9.5 Rear,(not split)

Money shot ..... not feeling all the bling under the bonnet but meh!


Not done much with it so far, wanted a road car that I could drive into the yard without taking the front bumper off (someone already cracked it) so first thing was swap out the HKS coilovers for Nismo S-Tune shocks and fit S-Tune tension rods to match them up.


Next up was get the gearbox reconditioned, take out the seats( thanks for the s15 driver seat joe) and start testing wheels, sitting on weds now but I'm thinking R33 gtr wheels or would love mitsi starion wheels either I know it would look a lot better on coilovers but I can drive straight onto the lift now so feck it. Few little servicable issues still to do but it has plenty of zippidy zip in it. Might try get a power run in next week as the claimed 380bhp is niggling me. Still on the lookout for something up the years so might be up for grabs again soon

When it landed

Put the other wheels back on rory

Nice bit of spec and couture only around the corner for a power run
