1996 series 1 nissan 200sx. It is in excellent condition and drives wonderfully. Selling to help fund overseas

trip. Features:

- Original black paint which is quite rare

- 17" Japanese lightweight alloys with Khumo Semi Slick tyres

- RDA slotted brake rotors and sports brake pads front and rear

- Genuine Cusco strut tower braces front and rear

- Sports suspension set up for road use (firm without being overly firm - handles amazingly well)

- Engine is 100% stock apart from: Upgraded stainless steel turbo water lines with earls fittings and

upgraded Japanese made Koyo radiator (50% more flow than stock). Both of these were preventative

modifications

- Excedy HD clutch

- HKS hi-power exhaust system - turbo back. (silencer included)

- Series 2 200sx tail lights

- Nismo front grill/Nismo leather Gear knob. Original gear knob and front grill included

- Full Alarm system with central locking.

The car drives and handles amazingly and is really a perfect road car for sporting use. It has full service

history and original documentation. I've run it on Motul 300v Chrono competition oil and to date it has

not used a drop over it's 5000km service intervals. The engine is very very tight. All other fluids used

have been Motul.

Car has been used as a daily driver for the past year and I have been fastidious about the way it is

looked after, as was the previous owner. First 2 photos were taken upon delivery from previous owner

last year, hence the VIC number plates.

The only thing noteworthy about the car is that the gearbox whines a bit. It's not a grinding whine, just a smooth audible one. It did this when I got it, and it's never developed from there, but it's something that prospective buyers should be aware of. Besides the whine, the gearbox is very tight, synchros are perfect and the whole drivetrain itself feels great.

PRICE DROP TO $10,500

Apologies to anyone that was interested and wasn't able to view the car previously, it is now 100% ready for viewing/sale and RWC.

Just put 4 new Continental contact sport tyres on it, plus 6 months fresh rego.

    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
    • Yeah, well I was probably way underguessing the $300 figure anyway. Just multiplied a "normal" by 4 for the purposes of pointing out it's not cheap, particularly if it has to be repeated.
