There's loads of the 1.8's in the 200SX club (www.sxoc.com) with 200+bhp, many with 250+, a fair few with 300+, some with 350+ and a few with over 400bhp! They're light, RWD, revvy, easily tunable, reliable if carefully looked after, and very fun. It's not a coincidence that so many are used in drifting in Japan.

The S13's came with 167bhp I think.They wouldn't go much faster than 140mph and it was unlikely to be modded if a French car as they aren't allowed to mess about with the engine,though I'm sure some owners flout the law.
S14 doesn't share the gtir gearbox but lots of the engine(different turbo,inj,manifolds etc though).

While away in France last week, I had a run in with a Nissan 200SX.

He pulled out of a service station in front of me, back onto the motorway.

Naturally I floored it to overtake him - he stuck to my bumper all the way to 140mph where he finally gave up....

I was shocked - I never thought they were that quick...!

yeah, who'd have thought a 2.0l Turbocharged car could keep up with a scoob.

carrot-sti

No, it was the older shape, and they were 1.8. One of these:

richs2891

yes they are quite quick 197 BHP in standard spec to rear wheel (less transmission losses) and lighter than a Scooby. But probably easier to tune than a Scooby and there are several highly modified ones kicking around. And yes I got a 200SX, bought to replace my destroyed Scooby !!

Werent they 1.8L cars (poss up to and not including s14?)

Even so, very nice cars - no 4wd transmission loss - seem to be able to be modded to quite high power fairly easily!

richs2891

Yes the one pictured above is a 1.8 turbo (S13) model and the newer S14 and S14a models 2.0 litre turbos.

Standard intercooler and gearbox on the S14 can appaently take 300 BHP as standard as its the engine and gearbox out of the Sunny / Pulsar GTI's and they can throw out a tremendous amount of power.
Typical Nissan understressed / bomb proof engines - a la Skyline.

Nick_TypeUK

as rsar said there very easy and cheap to get 300 bhp from

Jonto

MikeS_14's is rapid, give my MY00 a few good hidings in the past !

I had a drive of Astraboys S14 a few weeks ago and I was so impressed by how it pulled

carrot-sti

Well this thing surely flew - although as I say, he gave up at 140, wuss!!

Poor Guy

one of these ripped up my westy at the lights!

fast as ****.

Talk about an oversteery fun car - makes four wheel drifting in the Scoob look tame!

That's why Astraboy bought one

def

146mph as standard!!!

def

I got me a 14a

mike_s14

lol at jonto

only 146mph, I got a indicated 156mph rated at 150mph and still pulling then run out of strip last year

EvilBevel

Amen I had the pleasure of driving behind one at Elvington (although he cheated with 40 psi bald rear tyres ) but what a pleasure to watch. TBH the driver also was very much into "wee slides"

Very underestimated car IMHO.

KRIS

great cars ... mine had 220bhp but was let down by the Datsun cherry gearbox !!! 1st to 2nd was a painfull experience !!

k

mike_s14

loved it last year at trax when I whooped a mate in a tweaked uk turbo on the 0 - 60 run

and that was in the wet

def

Respect

astraboy

Yes they are rather good aint they?
Cant wait to tune mine, aiming at 15psi and 260-280bhp (if I can be arsed to change the fuel pump that is) and as for sideways, well I bought it back in april and I already need new rear tyres
astraboy.

mike_s14

should get that figure easy enough with the zorst, filter, dawes boost controller set to 15-16 psi

if you go above that power though a uprated pump would be needed (isn't too hard to change, did mine 3 times when the thing died and I couldnt find the cause)

oh and a front mount would be good, I've had a evo jobbie in the garage for 2 years now

never had time to fit it

Jonto

To busy on the put put 2 stroke machine !

mike_s14

errmmm you could be right, racing round wales last week was

carrot-sti

Well it's made me feel better that you guys don't think I got shown up...

I just never thought the older ones were that special - I'll be more wary in future!

I'm not happy

In the Jones vs Smiths War the kid opposite has just bought a 200sx (late shape). 2 days later it has a fist-sized tailpipe

Obviously he did'nt like me making his 330 BMW look silly

'ol Scooby's gonna get a hard time now

R,W,D

got me over 400bhp in my S13
just ask Legacy 4x4 turbo what he thinks
