    The story

    It’s a late 1998 Kuro black, touring spec s14a with cream leather interior
    UK car with 103420 miles but this will increase as it is still being used
    Full service history with receipts for virtually everything ever added or undertaken on the car
    All old MOTs present and available to review
    Mot till end April 2015

    I am the fifth owner; I have loved and cared for the car since I purchased it alongside the previous owners
    The past 6 years it was a second carfor the last 3 owers including me , kept in a dry garage (for all of its life with me) and only ever seen dry roads when it became my weekend toy.
    HPI clear, never been involved in an accident, never been vandalized or seen a paint shop (apart from fitting Z-edition rear valance and kouki front bumper)
    Reason for selling is I’m looking for either a nice R32 GTR or something that catches my eye

    Engine bay/drive train

    Standard SR20DET
    APEXI POWER FC MAPPED BY WALTON SMITH to 1.1bar (very safe turbo can handle a lot more)
    ASNU 800cc injectors (top feed with a polished rail)
    Bigger maxima throttle body with a tomei spacer,
    Ported and polished standard inlet manifold works a treat! And sprayed candy red rocker cover.

    TOMEI EXPREME TURBO ELBOW.






    Apex sensible 3” twin exit stainless steel exhaust including front pipe (front CAT removed and replaced with a flexi ) custom downpipe ) The exhaust to gearbox mount was custom made so the exhaust is supported, as it should be.
    Exhaust was intensively modified by RS fabrications of Banbury (high quality
    Welds need to be seen to be believed) to get the pipe work closer to the chassis and fit perfectly with the Z-edition rear valance (quality/expensive piece of work) but gave greater ground clearance

    Genuine Garage Defend carbon cooling panel
    Apex type 1 front mounted intercooler
    800BHP short shifter, no rattle or noises as it was correctly installed with OEM bush and gear knob
    DURACELL battery with 2 years left of the warranty (kept on Cytek conditioner when the car is not in use)

    Uprated Nismo lower front arms, less than 8000 miles of usage

    Skyline 296mm R33 GTS uprated discs - EBC Ultimax Grooved discs
    Endless Carbon Ceramic Metal R33 GTS CC-X brake pads
    http://www.neweraparts.com/Default.a...&ProductID=171
    The front brakes have less than 11000 miles on and while the pads at cold can be a little wooden, after the first stop they are superb and will withstand anything you can throw at them. New in 2011 when I bought them they cost over £600 and have tens of thousands of miles left in them
    Rear brakes are skyline gtr with disk and shoe set up with loads of life left in them
    Goodridge braided brake lines fitted to all 4 corners

    Genuine brand new OEM windscreen (with correct tint) and Nissan genuine trims fitted in 2012 (corrosion around the screen dealt with prior to new screen fitted, took 2 weeks to get new screen and rust proof frame, I was not popular with Auto Windscreens, but I insist on things been done right)

    Car will also come with 2 recaro sr4 seats 1 is mint and never been used and the other has wear to it.

    200SX rear badge removed, Genuine Nissan Silva black bonnet badge
    Kouki front bumper, rear spoiler (origional bumper is mint and will also come with the car)
    Has navan style skirts that can come with the car

    Electronics

    Fitted with a Blitz SBCi color Spec R boost controller, dual solenoid model so excellent boost control up to 2.4bar if you have the right supporting kit. I have set 4 different boost maps (very easy to switch on the go) set up from fast response but restricted to .8 bar to the full fat 1.2 bar slightly less aggressive boost curve to ensure no spikes and smooth liner power delivery.

    With all the additional sensors this is over £800 worth of kit (see here Blitz UK: Products > Electronics > Boost Controllers). I have added the additional sensors (oil pressure, oil temperatures, water temperature) all the parameters are display on the bright colour screen and have warning tones set to warn of any issues, like oil pressure below 2 bar or oil temp above 120 (all user defined). Obviously also acts as very accurate boost gauge, again with warning and parameters user definable

    It has a chassis dyno feature and can record all the data from all the sensors for a set period of time. This produces an estimated HP figure along with other data like battery voltage, boost graphs etc.

    It can measure 0-60 and quarter mile sprints etc. I can not tell you what a quality bit of kit this is. The colour 6-sensor display alone is so cool, but the way you can control boost with great accuracy and reliability is second to none. I have installed it with minimum runs of boost pipe; secure install below the stereo in a custom made flocked panel, looks OEM. I can’t tell you how good this bit of kit is with the additional sensors and inputs.

    Alpine iDA-X100 Ipod car stereo. Fantastic sound, matches the boost controller in terms of illumination and looks and is again a really quality products. Full spec here: Site Temporarily Unavailable | Powered by Liquidshop ecommerce
    Comes with the Ipod connection lead (hidden in the glove box)

    All four speakers uprated to Alpine SXE-1725s units with the factory tweeters upgraded to alpine units also.
    Review - http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/index.php...sxe-1725s-r788

    Slimline Pioneer sub (TX-WX77A) installed in the boot; this is not your normal boom box this is a high-end floor mounted flat sub. The entire booth is still usable, the spare wheel stays in play and anything can be put on top of the sub. Review of the sub here:
    http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/index.php...-ts-wx77a-r368

    Cost over £300, remote control is in the dashboard and if required can be removed in a couple of minutes however due to its design it has very little impact on useable boot space, and sounds superb

    The combination of headunit, speakers and sub seriously address one of the 200sx major floors and that was incredible poor audio as standard.

    Clifford concept 500 Thatchem category 2 alarm fitted. Installed by one of Birmingham’s best installers (installers certificate available for insurance purposes) and retains NATS 2 immobilise but adds a further 2 immobilisation points.

    The alarm controls the windows with auto full closure or even drop the windows remotely or even just to a vent position.

    Blackjax anti hijack fitted and all the additional sensors fitted including tilt, motion in the car even the proximity sensor warning bleep if anyone just stands to close. Both remotes included and both original keys)

    Other bits
    Run on either Silkolene Pro S or Gulf compertition oil
    Genuine Nissan fuel and oil filters used
    High end DOT 4 brake fluid
    Coolant has always been changed/topped up with de-ionised water and correct antifreeze

    Things to note

    Couple of minor car park dings
    The odd scuff, significantly fewer paint imperfections than you would expect with a 14-year-old car
    Centre silencer has a few dents in when the exhaust was too low, hence the expense of getting RS Fabrications to custom re-design the exhaust, does not effect gas flow, no leaks and has not got any worse since the work to raise the exhaust
    Small hole in the carpet under the drivers seat.

    Sales pitch

    I love this car and I have kept it in great condition, rust wise on the body there is nothing to talk about, underneath there is obviously some signs of corrosion but all the weak spots of these cars are still solid.
    There are a couple of very small car parking dings and minor scratches but nothing which jumps out unless you get very up close and personal. It gets cleaned virtually every week in the summer regardless of usage and has been detailed a couple of years back with high-end polish and sealant. Most people do not believe it is a 14-year-old car

    Always serviced using quality oils and fluids. Nothing has ever been scrimped on (see some of the receipts from Nissan for genuine OEM parts and fluids/filters from well respected traders on here; and given the quality of lubrications used it has been serviced well ahead of schedule in the past 5 years.

    This is a well-sorted quick road car, which, if you so wish, would hold its own on a track day. All the mods are focused and balanced ones, power matches handling which matches the brakes. The upgrades are all quality bits of kit, not Ebay specials. Everything from the performance and handling to the ICE and security were carefully considered decisions to ensure Nissans good work was not undone. This car holds its own. If you wanted you could use this car everyday or keep it as your weekend toy as I have for may years.

    The seats and interior are still in good condition. These seats are not the originals; they came from a 33K car a couple of years ago. Last summer I removed the seats to clean and treat so they are in great nick. The only seat showing any signs of wear is the driver’s seat, which has some but very little bolster wear.

    The documentation and folder of receipts and manuals back up the providence and spec of the car


    I have 5ltrs of unopened Gulf Competition full synth. ester based oil, along with a genuine nissan filter ready for the next service and some unopened Silkolene transmission fluid of the same spec already in the car.
    There is also a set of Work VS XX 3 piece splits that can come with the car
    Viewings and test-drives

    Test drives are encouraged but you will need evidence of fully comprehensive temporary cover on the car if you want to drive it. If you want me to take you out no problem. I am more than happy for anyone to inspect. Available to be viewed at my home address in Epsom in the surrey.

    I am not interested in talking money or price before you have seen the car. I do not want to upset anyone by rejecting offers before you have even looked at the car and to be honest to start with I cant see much movement in the price but happy to talk if your serious and have seen the car in the flesh

    Part ex – yes let me know what you have

    If you have any questions or quiries about the car please call garage D as they have covered 90% of the work on the vehicle.
    I cant explain how quick , responsive and an animal this car is I have probably missed a few things out.
