Hi, anyone know of anyone wanting to sell their 200sx?

Prefer the following.

Early S15 (Nov 2000 onwards to Mid 2001).

Already done 30-60k.

Spec-S, perhaps even Spec-R if the price is ok.

Black, Silver or Red.

Seller within 300km of Sydney.

No mods.

Please mail me if you have something. I'm in no rush for one at the moment as I'm actually enjoying going back to catching the train to work after my GTS-T was totalled :( .

Thanks! :)

The later 2002 models with only 15,000km are going for around $32k to $38k at dealers. I haven't seen any early S15's from Nov 2000 to 2001 floating around in all the online ad's so no idea what they might go for. I suspect perhaps $26k to $32k.

I'd be stoked if I could find a private sale for a Nov 2000 S15 in Black going for $26-28k. Perhaps something that had done higher kms.

I'm probably going to leave it for later as well. Perhaps even wait till the end of the year when prices will be more reasonable for the S15's.

The prices are a little differant here in QLD, but the 01/02 go for around $32k - $40k and anything before around $30k.

I have only seen 1 or 2 below $30,000...

I am going to get a modified one to try and save some money..

I'll let you know if i find anything..

I purchase the series 2 GTS-T fully modified for $36k which was actually a good deal considering the mods cost the guy about $20k on top of the standard series 2 price of about $28k+

Insurance gets a little nasty at your age.

Personally I don't want to ever modify my next car. Could just be that fact that I'm still feeling a little rattled by my accident and would rather be driving a little Mini Cooper right now.

It will pass...

Was it a modified one?

I looked into this and their isnt a great advantage, first of all you have to get an earlier model car then whats available here, and you end paying almost the same price anyway..

I couldnt justify myself buying a 1992/1993 model car for $30 - $30k when you can pick up a S15 01 with 15,000km's for the same price..

just_grouse i had a look on another forum and saw a couple of black S15's 2 mildly modified sold for $35k and standard one for around $32...

It's the $$$ commitment that's the big issue. The $36k lease I had was draining the income faster than I would have liked (didn't help when the R33 needed it's engine replaced...damn mods!).

$26k seems to be the sweet spot so I guess I'll just have to wait for the right car. The S15 is the only 200sx I like the look of, inside and out.

Silver-Arrowz - I'd be just has happy to drive an R32 GTR or RX7 even but that also doesn't fit the budget right now.

Time for a little begging to the boss for more wonga?

Bloody mortgage!

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
