    Hi all

    hi everyone.
    Just joined up and looking to be getting a 200 although i'm not too sure which i'll get. I'm after building a track/drift car and already have a skyline R33 engine to fit in whatever i go for,Just need to get some usefull info off you guys.I do like the shape of the older S13,but i depends on whats around at the time.

    cheers

    Welcome. If you haven't had RWD before, start standard, mine is stage one and just had a nice 1st and 2nd gear 'poor attempt at a drift'.

    hi all,
    i'm purley buying a 200 for track/drift use.They seem to be the best to go for as an all rounder with the cost of the car and the amount of upgrades you can get,plus i've already got a spare RB25 which i'm hopeing to fit to whatever i finally choose.

    Its not my first RWD car but thanks for the advise,wish somone had said this to me when i were 19!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've had an R34 GTT now for 3 years and put way too much time and effort and money into it, and i've decided that its too much for me to risk damageing etc,and i wouldnt be able to keep up with the costs.

    The 200sx just seems to be the more realistic in costs and seems to be an exellent entry car for me to use for either track days or drift.

    cheers

    not sure really, when i bought it 3 years ago it was 420 @ rear wheels.It also has 100 shot of nos.
    Fitted the turbo and manifold/external wastegate about 3 months ago but the engines out now for a rebuild,but when i ran it it was seriously faster than before.Just fitting new rods and pistons.

    I have a spare engine so want to fit it to an SX, i want a toy to use for track days etc.Just been reading about the swap on here which is an awsome guide.hopefully it will be all done for very early next year.......

    Just bought my 200 today.Got an S14 in black with 84000 on the clock for £800. Body works a bit rough but once i've fitted a kit it will look like new. The engine runs well,no smoke or rattles and no leaks.Needs a clutch though,which is how i got the price down.

    Wont be long now and the stipping it out bug will start, anyone know were i can get a cage for it from, new or second hand...

    cheers
