A.E's new pride and joy
So I thought I was about time I posted up my new ride. Forgive me Rupe for I have sinned, it isn't a Mazda lol
Its a 2001 Nissan 200sx spec S (don't let the badging fool you) always wanted one of these, I was probably 14-15 when one caught my eye. Now don't let the pics fool you the rims actually look alright in the flesh, no side skirts aren't doing it justice. Apart from that loving the car, wired up my head unit and amp the other night sounds awesome. And the sideways motion is a god dam good feeling Mod list Engine Front mount intercooler (forgot the name) HKS bov 3" turbo back hiteck exhaust Transmission Brass button (looking to change that soon) Suspension Cusco front strut bar Wheels Some 19" no names, staggered fit. Interior Leather seats front and BACK (apparently that's rear) Apexi turbo timer (wiring needs looking at) Blue footwell lights LED dome light Kenwood headunit (out of the SP20 which was from the Capri which was from the vitara lol) Pioneer splits in the front Pioneer speakers in the rear Pioneer 4ch amp (out of the SP) Alpine tyre R 12" sub And to protect it all, a mind field of immobiliser units lol. Plans. Spec R 2 piece side skirts (on hold) Rear bar aero pods Maybe a spec GT wing Electronic boost controller Boost gauge Tints New flywheel and clutch Major service

I think it's just the photo but it looks like the rear right quater has been sprayed.
Nice one. I always wanted a J-spec for two reason that stop me buying one. 1 - Rear wiper and 2 the slim line weather sheilds. Why Aus cars always have the rear wiper deleted is absoloute BS - Cost cutting crap. I have to say with those funny list of modes - some standard but the blue lights etc. did he not give you the tissue box and shopping list stickers as well LOL. my only advice leave the number plates as is - looks very plain. a new 370 would still stick out more. |

I kinda like the "non-skirt/wing" look for a change from the Jap bling. Always OK to be different..... Anyways, whatever your fancy
Well done with a nice beasty!

Hehe. Usually on ebay, but it's 99% S14 Navan stuff though.

So found the wheels I want, there pretty much TE37 replicas, real TE37s cost a small fortune. Now gotta play the waiting game, tax office still holding off on my return -.-
Also ordered a boost gauge off eBay, vacuum hose is all ready to go and vent has been disassembled. Can't wait to get it in.

Have a look at the price of TE37SLs - they're a fair bit cheaper than regular TE37s.

SLs aren't that much....well, it depends on who you know
As for coilovers, depends on what you call a decent price.
