Hey all,

I'll get some pics up in the next day or two, but I'm now the very very proud owner of a Nissan 200B... Well, Datsun/Nissan.... sounds better as a Nissan though.

So, whats under the hood? Well, shes actually stock as a rock, and has as total of 67500 kms, and thats no typo. Even has the stocker hubcaps and everything works. No cracks in the dash - its like going back to about 1982. Was going to use it as a runabout, but its kinda too nice for that.

Am actually considering selling it on, there must be somone who want one of these things in good nick. ??

Either way, I'll be looking for a GTR soon. :D

I paid $1500 with 8 months rego, newish tyres, parts (including a boss kit which I had a wheel for) and a full tank of feul :D

Given the condition, I was happy enough with that, all the other runabouts I was looking at were the $3500 - $4000 range.

So, its a 1980 200B GX, with brown cloth and white paint. 4 speed manual. Been in the one family for ever, (since new) never had a young driver I don't think. Only issue is the glovebox is cracked and stuck shut - was going to find one at a wreckers.

Its got a full history, and yeah. I can't imagine finding another one like it. I'll give it a wash over the weekend and post some pics up for ya's :( Even the hubcaps (which I took straight off!) only have one with minor gutter rash, the others are all perfect.

Stupid :P

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
