My Nissan 200sx S14a **Jap Crap Content**

[Gaz.]

Suppose I'll make an official thread now. Half assed pictures because it had got mucky again after 5 minutes, and I'm not really that bothered to take pictures ATM!

Well, here it is...

The Mods I bought it with are;

• Atmospheric Dump Valve (pretty quiet one)
• The "channel tunnel" exhaust. Consists of decat/downpipe/catback in 3 inch judging by the look of it, and a stainless manifold. I want a quieter one in all honesty, this is just going to get me pulled every other time I drive.
• Despoilered
• Arches Rolled
• De-wipered (I had to bung the holes)
• Short Shifter and Razo Gearknob

Unfortunately after a good clean, the paintwork is a lot worse than I first noticed. Basically, it looks like Ray Charles resprayed it, then Stevie Wonder went to town on it with a rotary. Pretty gutted I didn't notice it was so bad TBH.

First things first though, I've bought or am waiting to buy the following;

• Japspeed Alloy Rad
• New Thermostat
• Grade 7 NGK Spark plugs
• Oil
• Coolant
• Oil Filter
• Driftworks Magnetic Sump Plug
• Fuel Filter
• Air Filter (Probably just a paper one for the service until I research a decent aftermarket one)

I've also got a set of R33 GTS-T Front Calipers with braided hoses to refurb, then will set about the minor chassis/arch rust, ridiculous exhaust, terrible paint, horrible stance/ride height, orangeness and tiny standard wheels with gash Aurora Tyres.

If you squint the plate reads BIG WIG lol

Looks nice mate

 

[Gaz.]

Plate's going anyway for the one on the ZR. Plus the owner before the previous owner wants this plate back apparently.

 

[MikeB]

Look smart, will look a very nice once lowered on some different wheels

 

[jam-the-man]

Best value for money car you can buy!

Had 3 loved them to bits!

 

[Christopher]

Awesome!

The arches being already rolled is a sign!

Flushness.

 

[Gaz.]

Sure is. It was always going to be put on coilovers anyway. Those will probably be June's pay packet. Rims will be the hard choice, I don't like paying ridiculous amounts on wheels that look like they have been dragged along a quarry, just because they are JDM.

 

[Christopher]

Dragged along a quarry? WTF.

Work S1's. Decent drop. Done.

 

[VeinAST]

Sorry Gaz, really not a fan! Looks quite tidy though.

Yeah a lot of rims look shagged that are for sale on SXOC. Work S1s, the day I can afford those will be a happy day!

 

[theduck]

S14s are full of win.

 

[Hazza]

Not a fan of these, but that looks good!

 

[millzzz]

Looks nice, not sure about the lack of spoiler though. Strangely enough, I sold my 200SX S14A yesterday. It was quite sad to see it go! I hope you have as much fun in it as I had in mine!

 

[Gaz.]

I actually prefer the despoiler, will look a lot better once I've got coilovers.

 

[CMR]

ROFL!

When you coming out?

 

[_Tom]

Nice. I'd get a fuel pump high on the list. The standard one is shite

 

[mbk-172]

One of my mates has one of these awesome cars, 2 - 3k into the engine see's over 300bhp and with a decent set of coilovers they handle pretty well too.

 

[leeds_182]

Not really my thing but I bet it goes.

 

[edewer]

seems the world of CS is going jap! Picked up my 14a off a guy on sxoc a few weeks back now, and i love it! Supposed to be running 300.5bhp (have a dyno printout) but the boost controller needs a pro to set it up (i've done the best i can, and it runs ok, bearing in mind it wouldnt go above 3k rpm when i purchased it)

Mines missing the front splitter though, which makes it look a tad ghey!

loving yours. VOLK TE37s would look awesome in a nice dark colour!

 

[Englebert]

Would be worth more than the car though lol....

They have a lot of potential. Get it low.

Are you joking? About £500 see's not far off 300..haha!

 

[edewer]

yeah but in 2nd hand parts though tom. Buying it all new probabaly equates to a couple of thousand

 

[_Tom]

Ok ok but no need for brand new haha. Mine was 289 bhp with a filter, exhaust and decats, fmic, remap, plugs and fuel pump..

Still not much over a grand really.. thats the beauty of the SR20

 

[edewer]

mine's down on power somewhere, but i'm not quite sure where/how. running the same spec as yours but at a guess i reckon its not running the right chip or something, as to hazard a gues i'd say its only on about 250 at most

 

[AhmedRSi]

lol @ only 250 .... i want a new car

They do seem to arrange alot. Mine was tested on two sets of rollers though. Check for boost leaks. The standard intercooler is good for that..haha

 

[edewer]

got a greddy front mount, and no leaks i can tell of. its going in for some work thursday so hopefully they'll find out

 

[_Tom]

Ahh didnt see it on ur list of bits. Get a fuel pump on there if you havent already. (suspect you have)

Tint the front indi's too. Looks alot meaner..

 

[Goodj]

evil.
mint
except that exhaust, but each to their own innit

 

[MaLicE]

hang on read your last post saying it wouldnt go above 3k? you paid for a car that had a problem? hope you got it cheap... if it wont go over 3k and then ends up soundling like a machine gun loosing all power, you have a boost leak, the maf is going nuts and putting it in limp mode... or fuel cut... might be that your maf is dead...

 

[Gaz.]

Didn't read the thread properly did you then Said I want rid of that!

 

[Gaz.]

Nice. I'd get a fuel pump high on the list. The standard one is s**te

There might be a Walbro on it. I need to have a look one night and check, but either way they're cheap enough. Maintenance, Brakes and Suspension are more important than tuning ATM.

 

[Jungle_Jim]

oohh nice, get a set of these on there though, they are made for that car

 

[Gaz.]

It's a case of finding some cheap enough. No point buying new, like it was said earlier they'll be worth more than the car!

 

[Bluebeard]

Gaz, fancy some Desmond Regamasters??

Staggered?

 

[Gaz.]

More information providings please dude.

 

[Bluebeard]

Same as these. Front tyres are nearly new, rears are just about legal.

Tiny bit of scuffing around the lips but I do mean tiny.

Worth lots of money apparently but I have no need for them.

(Stolen from google)

Currently fitted on my 300ZX TT.

Quite like them dude. Can you PM me sizes and a price please?
EDIT: And offsets too if you see it in time.

 

[Gaz.]

Goodies/Necessities...

Japspeed Alloy Rad, Driftworks Magnetic Sump Plug, oil & fuel filters and a new thermostat. Shame the rad cap doesn't seem to come off the alloy rad, which will make checking fluid level in the rad a ball ache. Disappointed if that's the case, but, I hope it's not meant to open and have to be sent back.
