*Nissan 200SX Club - South Africa

Sokar: that's exactly the prob.

This whole thing started because I didn't think that the car was pulling as strongly as it should have. Before tuning it a compression test was done and voila!! no compression...and now u know the rest.

Status update guys: First off: I warned everybody because of my experience that I'm going through - if you feel that Snail conversions is the shit, by all means give the guy your money. As with all things in life I can only give my opinion and if your not interested just ignore it. I phoned the prev...

I will take pictures of the motor either today or tomorrow. But I WILL forward the pictures to anybody interested...will try to have the pics no later than friday.

Hi guys, It's actually quite sad that it has to be like this but you should learn from other people's mistakes.... Avoid Snail Conversions like the disease that it is - let me tell you the whole story: As some of you might know, I am a new member to the forum as I only recently bougth my SX. I bough...

Hey guys. A quick question:

Is the standard CA18 head the same as the one for the CA18DET??
My head is stuffed and I can get a CA18 head for free

Plz help asap, thx.

And it make my car like a fridge...

That's what I was hoping to hear. Will refit mine as soon as I can afford it then. Thx for the opinions guys.

Anyway, back to the original point: DocG's ideas sound pretty good. As for the T2.8/T3: it should be about the same sort of size as my TD04 (I think) - and like I said: it boosts from low down, not too much lag, pulls cleanly up to the redline and makes more than enough power. For a daily drive it m...

Hey guys. Just want to find out about the aircon. When I bought my car the aircon was removed (as with all of the other SX's that I looked at). How many of you guys still have your A/C's?? Is it a useless A/C "like an asthmatic blowing through a straw" (Clarkson's words - not mine) or is i...

On std setup won't make a diff. If you up the boost or fit bigger turbo i.e. start to fiddle wit hit it, then a fpr becomes a useful tool for making RELIABLE power by ensuring the correct fuel mixture.

a lean mixture = imminent death for engine

And that is always true...

An adjustable fuel pressure regulator is one of the best things you can buy. And their pretty cheap - like R400 for a good one. 1) This will immediatly be able to tell u if the stock fuel pump is still up to the job - or at least till where u can push it by checking for pressure drops as the motor r...

My motor is running with a TD04 and the power is linear from about 3500-4000 and boosts from low down. Probably something similar to the GT28 Hanco is talking about regarding performance. I dont have any complaints and the motor pulls strongly with max boost set to 0.8 bar and boosts 0.5 from low do...

Hey guys, I hav a similar problem - I'm only averaging jus over 6 km/l!! After filling up I can smell petrol in the car but can't find the source. Checked injectors - no leak, Checked tank in boot - no leak, checked under the car - no leak. All i can think is that the breather system might be leakin...

Yes, I realised that that will be the easiest option.

As for the parts list - it is correct (just read it like a moron). Sorry mr unipart man.....

Heard that the ball joint is similar to the maxima one - will let u guys know so that it can go on the parts list once i've confirmed.

Hi guys, Where can I buy the front lower ball joint for S13? Just phoned unipart in jozi and the guy said that they don't sell it at all (So much for the parts guide - or the guy I spoke to is a moron) Nissan only sells it with the lower control arm = R1200!!! Any help would be seriously appreciated

Hi guys, I'm new on the forum, just got my sx a week ago. I want to find out about upgrading the brakes. I got a quote from powerbrake for the "pro street" kit which is R3k for the 280mm kit. Replacement pads are R1k. But it appears as though my car has the smaller 257mm discs. I guess to ...
