hi guys been lurking for a while, im looking to buy a 200 as soon as i sell some of my cars, just been lurking to gather some info on them what to look for etc hopefully ill have some in the near future to post some pictures of, also where is the best place to post a couple of questions ie what mileage are engines good to and what goes at what mileage etc
S-body related chat would prob be the best, welcome btw

Welcome aboard.
As Chris suggests, start a thread in S-body related but supply as much detail as you can about what car you are interested in as the 200/Silvia family ran for 4 different generations with 2 completely different engines.
Very roughly, you are looking at either 80s/90s pop-up models (S12, S13) running a "CA" 1.8 turbo or 90s/00s non-pop-up models (S14/14a, S15) running an "SR" 2.0 turbo although there are some Japanese Domestic Market models that are a mix.
Each has their own strengths and weaknesses.
thanks for the help im looking at a s14a i know a little about them from reading and a little familiar with the famous sr20det engine haha

That's a good looking S14a you've bought there.
im from northwales wrexham, little info about car 62k and 1 owner from new, its got air filter 3" turbo back shotgun exhaust (a tad too loud) rotas and bc coilovers planning on a few mods in near future after a service and liquids change
just out of intrest is the free boost upgrade safe with standard wing mounted cooler ?
Looks to be a nice clean example! welcome to
Welcome along. Car looks like a great base to start from
Which free upgrade?

I wouldn't recommend trying to get anything for nothing from these cars as usually they will come back and bite you.
If you must turn up the boost, a good ball-and-spring manual boost controller can be had from Apex for sub-50 quid.
Before doing any performance mods, I'd recommend you make sure the car has been serviced, (cambelt changed on a CA), fuel pump replaced and fuel filter changed.
If you crank the boost up to 12-13 psi you should be OK as long as you run it on super unleaded and warm it up/cool it down properly.
I'm assuming that the exhaust isn't standard given that its got wheels and a silvia badge
