I actually think that with a bit of power these would be ace little track cars as well! :-D

The gearbox is actually mated to the diff so its got good weight distribution :twisted:

The first trackday I ever did saw me next to an innocuous 340 in white. The cage that was fitted did make me wonder, but my speculation ended when he tore passed about 6 cars on the back straight in a flurry of bangs and pops!

It seems our cunning friend had fitted an 850 T5 engine which certainly boosted performance a jot. No idea how he got around the drivetrain issues (I was ignorant to such things back then)

lol would you beleive your the first person to notice the horrible steering wheel, even the fella i bought it off said i might want to change it :lol: it's top of the list of mods for it.

The 200sx met the same fate as the gtr did, broke for bits and the left overs went to the great scrappy in the sky :oops:

lol your not wrong, everythings gone from the 200sx although i've still got the gold impul wheels from the gtr as i use them as stands whilst working under cars.... deep dish wheels can have many uses

Well it took nearly three weeks but finally the car is one the road, taxed, mot'd and insured with all mods declared... wooohooooo

So whens the next practice day 8)

Also bought a new steering wheel, very unexciting update but all my cash is being eaten by garden redevelopment and immigration fees (trying to get permanent residency in oz)

Here's the wheel 8)
