Black 200sx???

[Flybye]

I've been told that a black s13 isn't a coman colour, is this ture?

[Sideways Danny]

pretty rare, especially finding a good one.

[voodoo_melon]

Not that rare I'd have thought. Green and blue facelifts are much rarer.

not really, I've seen more "last edition" ones than black ones. Paul has owned 2 blue ones

[Butters]

ive had two black S13s

both minters, had to travel 300 miles for the second one.

have a look on auto trader, theres plenty on there. Just keep checking for a few weeks.

i think black is the best colour on S13.

or white (not the standard nissan creamy whote tho:wack: )

[voodoo_melon]

Facelift white is proper white, not cream.

I agree with black being the best but I've never seen a mint S13.

[jrtuning]

ive got a black s13 i did do a 500+ mile round trip to pick it up though lol

[Butters]

PS my first S13 was 12 miles away, so it varys.

there are a few without rust!:thumbs:

[Jezz_S13]

2 black S13s here, Buffy's is black too.
Best std colour by a mile. ;)

[alanjuggler]

i'd argue about how white is 'so much better' but that's not what the thread is about

to this day i've never seen the late green they did the s13 in.

blue yes, no green.

[voodoo_melon]

There's more to being mint than that.

[b14ck]

guess what colour mine is :wack: black is also the fastest colour aswell :nod:

[shawty s13]

black i think is the best colour for a 200, as i have a black one and they really look the bees knees

[shawty s13]

well i thought it was the best till it started to play up anyway

[sliver]

Seen a green at Dans, it looked great... seen a two tone silver and cream one in Windsor as well, looked very cool.

Don`t see a lot of black ones though - LOADs of metalic burgundy, like mine.

That's pre-facelift colours... facelift white was 326 iirc and kuro black is KH3.

[Flybye]

Its just i've got the oppatunity to get one with no engine, but i've got a SR in my present one! (The presnet ones got both rear side pannals dented badly!) So i'm thinking of a swop!

But looking at "Vodo Mellons" (Sorry if i spelt it rong, a bit pist!)

Black S13 is the way!

[voodoo_melon]

Black is best (http://www.freewebtown.com/voodoomelon/Shiney_23-apr-05/Img0524small.jpg) :nod:

If the engineless shell is rust free go for it :thumbs: Or get some chargespeed rear wings on the one you have now :D

[Aitch]

Voodoo's car was indeed a very nice looking S13 :nod:

[voodoo_melon]

It's looking a bit sorry for itself now :(

[Flybye]

I've seen your pic already vodoo, he only want £250 and he says its mint?? But i'll beleve it when i see it! But i also think them wide wing would look better on a black 200 rather than a red'ish one!

[Micraplay]

i have a 94 L blue facelift, one freind has a late 94 M plate green one and two other freinds have black facelifts.

apparently they only produced the facelifts in black, so i read somewhere.

never really associated black with being rare, but ive never seen another green or blue one in the flesh. (apart from my old pre facelift which was midnight blue)

loads of red and grey ones about.

[voodoo_melon]

apparently they only produced the facelifts in black, so i read somewhere.They came as black, white, red, burgundy, grey and baby blue iirc. The last lot on '94 plates were available in Morello pearl red, Marine blue and Kielder green according to the brochure.

-edit- unless you meant all the black ones are facelifts, in qhich case you're right... there are a couple of black pre-facelifts on here but none are original (re-sprayed or pre-facelift bumper fitted).

[Sideways Danny]

think he means that only facelift were black, not pre-facelifts

[voodoo_melon]

Yeah I realised that after posting :wack: Think I need to go to bed :sleep:

dont forget the gold,silver and two tone green ones aswell

[Micraplay]

yeah, i meant black was is only original on facelifts.

is that the colour of blue then "marine blue"? i read somewhere it was "sapphire blue" i know the code is TK3. i need to know because i want to spray some new panels i have. mind you, paint places can just match it to your car car now cant they

[voodoo_melon]

The facelift brochure says it's Marine Blue (TK3). Maybe they changed the name of the colour? :wack:

[arry]

dont forget the gold,silver and two tone green ones aswell

prefacelift only

Personally I think pre-facelift blue TH1 is the best colour :smitten:

[john2512_00]

I just traveeled 900 Miles round trip to Pick up my Black S13 FaceLift and it is Mint!!!

Just looking at suspension and alloys for it now, then Ill get proper pics up, (only down side is auto, which is infact as I was told very very nice to drive,)



Voodoo mellon, where did you get those white indicators?? I seen some before but they sed they werent meant for road use, and i dont know if that was to cover the companys own arses or whethere they just didnt work lol?/?

[voodoo_melon]

They were on the car when I got it but I modified them. They're the same ones Bren sells and have a single, twin-filament orange bulb in them that does both sidelight and indicator. I swapped the white lenses onto the original backings with 2 bulbs so it had white sidelights and orange indicators. I used Philips silver bulbs to away the orange tint when they were off.

[john2512_00]

Ahhh good stuff think ill give that a shot then. if i could do that clear the wing indicators and get it despoiled plus the wheels shocks and tints im getting soon ill be over the moon


so buy brens ones, take the clear front off and put on my old ones, and just put an orange bulb in the indicator side??? whats the silver buls for sorry i didnt understand that wee bit?/

cheers mate

[voodoo_melon]

Clear indicators come with the single bulb which gives you orange indicators. Originals have white sidelight with white lens and white indicator with orange lens, so when you use clear lens and original backs you need the white sidelight bulb and an orange indicator bulb. You can use the orange ones you got with the lights but you can see them through the lens and make it look like a fried egg :D The Philips bulbs are silver but light up orange so the lights look completely white but shine orange.

This car (http://www.sxoc.com/images/dynamic/memberimgs/lores/20045161622222.jpg) has clear lenses on original backs, but with orange bulbs in it. This (http://www.freewebtown.com/voodoomelon/Broken_car/images/DSC00097.JPG) is with the silver bulbs.

[john2512_00]

Ahhhh Nice love it :thumbs:


Need to give bren a call once i decide which suspension to go for :wack:

[john tarantula]

well mines black and I'm pretty sure it's pre facelift (smaller brake discs, no cat etc) hhmmm (J reg 91 so swap year)

unless something weird happened to it? has a different reg etched onto some of the windows... :confused: but black on log book...

[john2512_00]

YEa mines got a different reg on the windows, still a K plate tho,

Think its just a private/peronalised reg

[Sphinx]

So, Facelift S13's came in:
- red
- white
- black
- metallic grey
- metallic blue (Marine blue)
- metallic burgendy (Morello pearl red)
- metallic green (Kielder green)
is that right?

Half-half cars came with the facelift bumper but smaller brakes, no lsd, no cat etc in 1991.
