Hi all i can't believe i never looked for this place earlier.
Anyways, glad I found it.
Ok, down to bussiness, I am looking for a 200sx s13 with an SR20DET engine. Milage must be as low as possible and engine as stock as possible.(If possible. lol)
To buy,
OR
To swap for a 1995 BMW 316i e36. (Dolphin shape.) Car has been well looked after, M3 front bumper with spots worth R12000. All round clear lights an indicators. Full service history. Just had a service. original BMW 15 inch rims. Rear Spoiler. Colour is Alaska Blue, not a very common one which makes it unique. Tracker fitted, but not activated. Full leather interior. Front loading 7 inch touch screen in-dash DVD player with motorised screen worth R8000. engine in superb condition.
If you are interested, or have an s13 to sell please PM me, or alternatively give me a call on my cell.

SR20 S13 .... .hard to find around here. Why don't you buy the one on Lavender Rd, Pretoria North for R35000, plenty cash to spare for the SR swop etc.?

SA spec S13's didn't come with SR20 DET,only C18 DET, so good luck finding one, only reason I have one is because I had one put in. The S14's came with the black top SR20 DET in SA

No RPS13 (SR20DET RS13) Imported AFAIK, No S15 (bloody bastards I want one) and depending on what the owner spent on it, is what he is going to base the price on.

not always - hehehehe.
sometimes you can be lucky and find a good deal out there, other times you have to create your own good deals.

You know, this country really sucks when it comes to cars.
We never got any of the major boy racers.lol
Not to mention how much we gotta pay for cars an parts.
I mean look at the states, australia.
It's rediculas...
Anyways, thanks again for the info. So i guess if iwant a 200sx with an SR20DET without having to transplant one I gotta go for an S14.
Which sorta sucks cos I really love the shape of the S13. Oh those pop up lights.lol
Look the S14's not bad, an I suppose it's newer.
Can any one tell me the pro's an con's between the two?
An would you all agree that an SR20DET is nicer than a CA18DET?
I suppose the two of them also have thier pro's an con's.
But a 2litre vs a 1.8.
I'm so confused.
Later, A|fy.

That's really a personal choice kinda thing, I like that the CA is an adventure to drive with very little low end torque and it only comes alive in the upper rev range. The SR however has a far larger torque band making it friendlier to drive, just like a tractor really

Sorry guys, I did not mean to offend anyone.
I guess I should have re-phrased that.
But I did say this:
I suppose the two of them also have thier pro's an con's.
And that I'm confused.lol
You are rite Jon, it does come down to personal taste.
Once again, I did not mean to offend, an I appologise.
