Nissan 200SX, anyone know where to find one?

quenching

I drove a 1990 Nissan 200SX exactly the same as the one below for 7 years and then stupidly sold it, quite a while ago obviously! I want another, but any that I've ever come across (and thats VERY few) seem to have been abused beyond belief.

Does anyone have any idea of where I'd find a good one in original condition. Mine was the sort of creamy white colour of the one below and ideally I'd like the same again, or black. Not asking much

Oh, and I want same wheels too!

In fact I want my original car back, I think it was 90CE2413.

Happy memories. I had a '92 in red. Same model, pre-emissions with that lovely turbo whistle.
Hard to find a good unmolested one now. Most seem to have mad paint, body kit and high wheels. Damn those drifting boys!

Such leg room

pippip

owners clubs or nissan forums would be your best bet of finding one thats been looked after

Good luck with your search. Great cars, such a pity to see so few around now.

Good luck with your search. I used to drool over it and its smaller brother (100NX) back in the day.

I'd say these days, any of these remaining are either modified beyond recognition or have been drifted to death.

Have never dealt or know anyone that does but this crowd may help you import one direct from japan

Ah that's a great tug at the old heart strings there.

I had a red 1990, same alloys as yours and all!! Best car I ever had, engine/turbo replaced and then I stupidly left it go for a song on a trade-in just when it was running at it's best for years - biggest mistake ever. No car since has given me the same buzz with the rear wheel drive and turbo performance Had it from 1995 to 2000. I'm sure it's still around.

Same as myself, had mine from 94 to 2002, traded it in for very little, and have regretted it ever since. Mine was like new, 102k miles with the original engine and turbo, and not a mark on it anywhere. I checked a few years after I sold it and it was in Donegal and resprayed bright orange :mad: No record of it anywhere now so I'd say it either went backwards though a hedge at some stage or ended up on the drifting scene.

Had a quick look at the JDM auctions site and all seem to me modified to death, I want a nice original one. I'm not holding my breath.

Although I do know of one Irish person who has been looking for one for months and had to travel to England to find one in half decent condition. You could try importing a 180sx from japan (same body but with a 2 litre engine), but be prepared to pay big money for a clean one

Thanks for that, will join up and post a wanted ad.

Try www.sxoc.com, very good forum with some Irish members. A lot of these cars have been modified and updated by now because they take it well and it's relatively cheap to do so. The s13 is the factory code for the model you are looking for. I had a s14 which came after which was great.
