Nissan 200SX Club - South Africa

First tings first. I have met Gary from Durbs, during the weekend. What a freindly young man and full of 200sx energy. Nice meeting you Gary.
Secondly, he brought with him my strutts front and back along with him.
I fitted the front strutt in minutes. Perfect fit Gary. I took the sx for an immediate test drive.
Now: There are no words for this. But let me try. In the first 50 meters, my arms were full of goose bumps. I shouted out loud to myself "you have a new car, a new suspension for that matter". Could not beleive what I was experiencing. I lost 50% of rattles. Even the bloody rooftop was still. It was like me driving on an air bag. Solid, solid, solid stuff. The sx going around corners like no other car. It just sit there in the corner with all the confidence in the world. Now for me, this was the best mod ever on my sx. No imagination, just pure joy. Great stuff, great strutts Gary. Thanks man. Some pics:

Nice chrome bars, front and back

Now I want a pair

Freddie was kind enough to let me test-drive his "new" car. It was a lot to take in... small steering wheel, amazing power from the water/meth, amazing response from the engine, and amazing handling! Wow, what a car Freddie has built himself!! I am immensely impressed

en nou...

nou soek ek ook 'n pair!!!

gary - how much were they???

chemcool - wait until you get rid of that squishy rubber steering column bush, and you change all your suspension bushes to polyurethane!!!!

i cannot stress enough the difference that the above mods made, and in conjunction with the strut braces, it would be a new go-kart!!!

gary - how much were they???

I remember Gary said me was the last one helped out with the strutts

But seriously I think you get them from rezlo slightly more expensive that Gary has done. I think Gary said it is time constraning and no profit, but goodness, I am so bloody happy chappy.

I am immensely impressed

Thank you very much.

Cant beat you. YOu just funny and that is it.

Not a problem glad you are enjoying it. Wait till you fit the rear brace 90% of the squeaks will be gone .

Done that - yes, lots and lots of sqeeks gone. You know I dont feel my low profile tyres(40) so hard anymore. More smooth...

Ja the car is less bumpy just more stiff.

so gary, when can i get my pair???

how much are they?

and i am deliberately ignoring chemicalromances comments!

I will only make them again if there are enough people who want. This making 1 set every month or so is KAK. They are R1000ea. So if you want get a few guys together and Ill see what I can do.

I contacted a guy now in Australia the strut braces are retailing for ±R500 for the fronts and a little less for th rears...

He will get back to me on a price of 10 pairs shipped South Africa... So we might get away for ±R700 a pair, and they look something like this

competition is a great thing isn't it!
