*Nissan 200SX Club - South Africa

New addition coming soon...



My current water bottle is cracked and has been patched up so many times...

No use replacing it with another plastic one..

Will it be worthwhile or a waste of money to fit a aftermarket flatbed air filter such as BMC or K&N into a stock air box?

Servicing my car this weekend, and unsure if I should fit a Nissan or aftermarket filter.

Gary - where do u get those from? And i would need a custom made manifold?

How is the turbo's from Mr Turbo?

So im in the market for a new turbo as my T25 on my S13 CA has play and seals are going...

Below is some prices I have collected:

1. Garrett GT28RS ( Disco Potato ) R11 500 ( Turbo Exchange )

* This would be my 1st choice, but unfortunately this is out of my budget for now.

2. GT28 Journal ...

Exactly my thoughts... Problem is finding a T28

Got my sx back this afternoon. Took it for a drive. Feels much better. All I can here now is the sound of the exhaust and turbo instead of leaking gaskets ;)

Speaking of turbo...

My turbo has a lot of play and seals is most likely on its way out, as it's puffing white smoke now and again :(

So ...

Thanks for your help guys.

So would of loved to start with fitting a Walbro fuel pump and FMIC but had other issues that needed attention, to get the car running reliable.

Replaced turbo manifold and exhaust gaskets as they were leaking.

Replaced rear main seal

Replaced clutch plate

Next up: 5000KM service...

Hopefully ...

Gary - I have checked Ebay... There are some really nice FMIC kits available for good prices. Send me more info on the kits u looking at bringing in, I am keen.

Rat - Is 76mm not to big? Will it not cause a lot of lag? Or as long as u keep the pipes short will it be okay?

My current plans for now ...

Water pump has been replaced roughly a year ago.

Just dropped the car off. Getting gaskets changed, rear main seal getting replaced.

I have no idea if it has been changed. Think i should rather just change it and be on the safe side.

So i will be doing my 1st 5000km service on my 200sx that i purchased recently.

I bought Oil, spark plugs, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter.

Anything else missing?

Mileage is currently on 156 224KM

S13 CA18DET

Thanks Gary and Rat for your input...

Gary - would a 300x600x76 inter cooler be okay? With say 50mm boost pipes?

Rat - which Walbro pump is the best one to get? The 255?

So far i only have a 76mm pipe on my 200sx...

What should be the next mod i do?

Bigger inter cooler? Upgraded Fuel pump?
