I'm just glad to be back driving the damn thing.

I've been driving my Boss's 200sx for the time that mine has been off the road. That period of time was meant to be like two to three weeks. Thanks to Nissan the new bonnet didn't arrive in time for Christmas so the whole car didn't get sprayed until Tuesday or Wednesday last week.

The 200sx is a nice car, it's a lot better than you would normally hope for as a loaner, but I tell you what, I'm SO glad to be back in mine. It's just a lot sharper.

And I can't stop running the back of my hand accross it. She's lovely.

How much does it cost, well, if you were to pay for it probably about $4,500 - $6,000 depending on paint and how much work to do to get the car straight. Mine was paid for mainly by insurance with a little put in by me.

Bec... I'm writing this from the car, doona in the passenger seat :D

The paint is all stock but it's as smooth a virgin's boob.

It's just beatiful. I dont want to drive it now. I work in Dandenong and the dust off all the freeway works coats the car every day.

I wonder how long it would take to ride a bike from Doncaster East to Dandenong ????

They said they put a little sumint sumint into it to give it a bit more pop, but nothing special. Nothing you wouldn't be able to easily match at any time.

I saw it in the sun for a few minutes this arvo, it's even better when it's sunny!!

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
