Hi all,
Please see the link above for full details.
Many thanks,
Tom
The time has come to sell my 14a touring as I refocus my attentions on building my house and moving abroad. I can’t quite believe that I am writing this advert; but I know someone else will
benefit from using and enjoying her as much as I have, so here it goes.
My passion for s14a’s started a long before I took ownership of this particular example. In fact, after finally biting the bullet and deciding to purchase one, it took countless viewings and 12
months to find my pride and joy “P200SXN”. Her first two owners were based in central London, the longest of these two was a mature lady who had the car for the first 9 years; I can only
assume this is the main reason why the millage (86k) is a lot lower than other similar aged examples. The car was also an automatic for the first 11 years of its life.
The third and previous owner Chris also spent a long time finding the then standard example and took her back to Derby to begin her transformation. As an avid SX Owners Club member
(eyeballpaul) and Rolls Royce Jet engineer, Chris previously built a 557bhp fully forged 14a, but after an unfortunate accident was back in the market to satisfy his addiction. It was during his
ownership that the rare and expensive ($3100 + shipping and tax) Ikeya Formula Intake Plenum with 4 throttle chamber and 3000cc surge tank were installed, these have had a lot of work
spent to get them set up correctly but the results are more than worth the effort as the response is awesomely fast. Details of the ITB’s can be found on Nengun.com (http://www.nengun.com/ikeya-formula/...ber-surge-tank). Chris also converted the car from auto to manual at 75k.
Since that time the engine and other areas of performance have been continually developed and upgraded. The summary below gives you a rough idea of just how much time and pleasure has been spent in her company:
Engine:
- New GARRET GT2871.86 turbine,
- Drift works braided oil and water lines with copper banjos
- Greedy single chamber 3” elbow (heat wrapped)
- New Lambda sensor
- Apex performance type 2 manifold, which has had extra strengthening added in the form of 10mm thick steel brackets, aerospace stainless cylinder head studs and lock tabs (air tight with no blowing)
- New Conceptua 9 layer exhaust manifold gasket (this is one of the strongest and best on the market)
- New turbo gaskets
- New oil line restrictor (inlet)
– Aerospace grade heat mat surrounding the manifold to ensure the brake fluid stays cool
- Full blitz nur spec-R stainless steel exhaust from the elbow back, again it has had added support fitted to the down pipe and has been heat wrapped from the elbow back.
- Conceptua Catalytic converter (Spare)
- NISMO decat pipe (Fitted)
- Polybush exhaust hangers
- Blitz stainless SUS filter
- Z32 Air Fuel Meter (with custom 3.5” polished pipe to the turbine)
- Hybrid performance 4” intercooler with custom cold pipe
- Battery professionally relocated into the boot
- HKS SSQV ltd edition black bov fitted in cold pipe
- Remote alloy oil catch can with anodised breather (essential if you intend to track)
- 2x12” spal fans controlled by ecu which means she never gets too hot
- Koyo racing alloy radiator (with Apexi cap)
- Ikeya formula throttle bodies and Surge tank (expensive and rare http://www.nengun.com/ikeya-formula/...ber-surge-tank)
- Denso Irridum tip spark plugs (New)
- Uprated coilpacks (to eradicate high boost misfires)
- Tommei adjustable fuel pressure regulator (fitted by FCM Motorsport)
- Border 560cc top feed injectors
- SARD external anodised fuel filter
- Border Fuel rail
– Walbro 255ltr/hr fuel pump
- AP silicone hoses (Red) and Stainless steel Milkator clamps throughout
- Adjustable boost controller and gauge
- Full manual conversion
- Exeedy stage 3 clutch
- Exeedy chromalloy lightweight flywheel
– Auto diff (quicker acceleration)
- Ferrari Red powder coated rocker with polished embossing (NISMO gold oil cap)
- NISTUNE ECU with full rolling road set up by Greg Gush at ProTUNER (£900) – this was worth every penny as the engine does not miss a beat, she also accelerates and sounds like nothing I
have heard before.
As you will probably already know this is a comprehensive set up, which removes the 155mph factory limiter, yields much smoother power delivery and can be easily remapped by any
NISTUNE specialist. If one so desired, 400+bhp could be achieved with only a few further enhancements.
She is mapped to run on High Octane super unleaded. I usually use BP Ultimate, although you notice the difference with VPower pumping through her.
Suspension/wheels:
With handling at the forefront of my mind the 14a has been set up for spirited driving, with rims, brakes and suspension being chosen for their un-sprung weight loss credentials. She also
benefits from the following upgrades in this department:
- White-Line adjustable Anti-Roll-Bars front and rear with poly bushes throughout
- TEIN Super Street Coilovers (copper greased)
- Front ARC strut brace (upper)
- Rear ARC strut brace (upper)
- 18x9.5 rota GTR’s in white fitted with federal super steel 225/40/18 front and rear (lots of tread)
- 395mm drilled and grooved rotas with powder coated red bells (Front)
- Skyline GT alloy (light weight) callipers power coated red (Front)
- Updated fast road pads (Front and rear)
– H&R 20mm hubcentric spacers (Front)
- H&R 30mm hubcentric spacers (Rear)
- Custom TPS lightweight wheel nuts anodised in Gold
- Fully Waxol’d and treated underside
Not much else needed as the handling seems to be spot on for spirited road driving.
If the new owner should desire I have a set of Veildside Andrew rims 18x10" and 18x12" these can be included in the sale if the new buyer wishes at an extra cost of £1000.
Body:
The bodywork was developed with two main aims: weight reduction and aerodynamic improvements. This was achieved through a number of modifications including Carbon Fibre panels which have helped to reduce the curb weight by 70kg. She has been resprayed in battleship grey matt paint, so if you are looking for a concourse exterior, as she currently stands this probably isn’t
the car for you.
Visually she has changed a lot since rolling off the production line, now looking as menacing as she performs with Black Back headlights, a Vertex front bumper, Vertex rear bumper and side
skirts.
I have also added a Chargespeed carbon fibre Bi-vented bonnet – the headlight intake funnels air to the SUS filter and the large middle vent creates a vector pulling cold air through the Koyo
radiator to help reduce temps. I have also added a pair of genuine Chargespeed +30mm lightweight front wide arches with twin air vents to keep brake temps down. The stock rear steel boot has been swapped out for a carbon item which sports a DriftWorks Carbon aero wing with adjustable downforce locations – currently set for touge sprints.
The UK rear screen has been removed and replaced with a JDM item which is one solid piece of glass with no wiper.
If the new owner should desire I have a set of + 50mm rear overfenders which were going to be used to widen the stance of the car for grip purposes, these can be included in the sale if the
new buyer wishes at an extra cost of £150.
Interior:
Once again the cockpit has been refined to reduce weight, whilst retaining an element of comfort and warmth. The stock carpets, headlining and grey alcantara remain as do all of the front
interior panels which are in very good condition. I have not used the car in anger or as a track weapon so I wanted to have a refined front half. Both front seats are RECARO items which I
bought new from Japan, these have been fitted on Bride frames (super low mount on driver’s side). Crew members are strapped in via 4 point Sabelt race harnesses with aero catch releases. These were professionally fitted with secure custom eye bolts located on welded Driftworks plates (MOT friendly).
The wheel has been replaced with an Italian Momo dish drift equivalent; this is fitted to a rare Splash Works Skinny Boss which I imported from the USA. This allows you to fit a deep dish
wheel and Snap off Boss without moving the contact point of the steering wheel uncomfortably close to the driver.
The rear on the other hand is a completely different story. She is fully stripped with a bare metal respray in gloss black. The sound deadening has also been stripped to minimise weight.
She also has a 4 point rear Fabricage roll cage with integrated diagonal roll bar painted gloss black. This cage also has the capacity to be extended into a full cage with door bars should the
new owner decide to follow that path.
Being one of only a handful of 200sx’s in the country with “200sx” in the registration, I feel this one is a little special with the “N” denoting Nissan, in contrast to one of the most famous SXs
with a similar plate, the Driftworks 14a which was registered as “P200SXM”. The licence plate will be included in the sale for the new keeper at no extra charge.
Please feel free to give me a call if you wish to discuss in further detail. However serious buyers only please.
