    Anyone know if my old s14a is still around?

    I miss it. OK, the reason for changing was justified and the replacement is completely mental but I'd swap for another in a heartbeat (or an rx7 - blame JP for that for letting me drive his one!). The new (had for 3 years now) car is insanely quick, corners like its on rails and is practical if not economical (10-15mpg!)... But it doesn't give me "the fizz".

    Keep wondering what happened to it. Sold in mid 2013, R...REW a sapphire blue s14a. When it left my possession it had gone through several changes, wheel sets, bodykits and had a full cage at one point. It finally evolved into a something like a factory special as I'd tried to keep as much in-house Nissan parts as possible. R33 gtr wheels, kouki wing and stock, slightly modded bodywork.

    So, anyone know what happened and if its still about? Or has it been broken, crashed or otherwise ceased to be? If so, I will shed a tear for the most reliable, exciting and second most fun car I've ever had.

    You can check if its still on the road using the online tax website

    You need to know its a nissan and the full reg.

    Cheers mate. Its still taxed and mot'd so I have hope! Would be nice to know where it is, what state its in and whether its changed hands again. It was in excellent condition when I sold it. I'd spent 2 years making sure there was no rust on it and it was in the best possible condition. Tthe only issue was a slight knock_on a coilover.

    Then baby #2 happened and its not the most sensible car for 2 kids... Never intended to sell, still wish I hadn't but what's done is done. Just started the refurb work on its replacement now. For a 1993 car there's not a great deal that needs doing!

    Any recent car shows where it could have been? Might be worth to keep looking through event pages or photographer-pages who covered events, someone might displayed it or it might have been seen in the car park etc?
    Good luck with finding it!

    Can't say I've seen it at any events, just looked through my Japday photos.

    Hi mate I never left here. Just lurked for a while. I don't have another Nissan again. Yet. But if someone offers the right swap for my Evo I'd be interested.
