Well,
the best bet would be http://www.stillen.com. Look for 1994 Nissan 240SX - this is the same car as 200SX in the UK. For some dumb reason Nissan heads like to mislead the people
Also, just to be sure, give them a call. Ask them if the parts are going to fit [they should] and maybe they know some good tuners in the UK.
Also, try http://www.carparts.com. It's the same deal, pretend you have a 1994 240SX.
Maybe some of our mods know a lil more about this.

Thanks for the reply its nice for someone to understand what car i actually have. The site you recomended is pretty good it has a lot of bits to leave me drooling and my wallet in tears
If you are interested there is another site norrisdesigns.com which claim good things for my car but are a bit too into selling kits and never sent me my catalogue
If anyone knows of any cheaper homemade mods that i can do i would love to hear it as i do like taking things apart.
For example i have heard that they(UK 200sx) are restricted a certain amount through the exhaust manifold and am unwilling to go through the process of taking it all apart if im just going to find nothing.I look forward to hearing from someone.

Don't worry Notoriuz,
you'll get all your help you need here.
It's just that some of our mods know a lot more than I do about this stuff. Let's just wait and see what they have to say. Guys?

You definitely have options. Unfortunately, I don't know a whole lot about Nissans (I consider myself a Honda/Acura guy), but you can check out www.nopi.com, where there are lots of goodies available for tons of import sedans, from intakes to body kits to suspension components (and probaby for domestics as well).
A good source for suspension parts is www.show.com, with some of the best pricing on the internet.
And be sure to look at www.stillen.com as Igor suggested. They definitely make turbos, intercoolers, and related items for Nissan applications.

I'll post again tomorrow if I am able to find more information to help you out. Good luck with your search, take it easy Richard-

Hehe this belongs in the 240sx section you wankers! Maybe Igor should rename this section Sentra/200sx or something.

Anyway for homegrown tweeks you can do to your 200sx (UK style) go to www.240sx.org. They have some a some pretty good info on stuff you can do at home.

Also depending on which model 200sx you have (turbo or NA) you can't really buy anything from the US for it. The engine you have would be the SR20DE or DET. The North American 240 has the KE24DE. However body kits and suspension mods will fit. Japan is where you need to look for engine performance. The Silvia or 180sx has the same motor and the guys in Japan are getting some crazy power out of them. Upwards of 500hp easy!

How on earth did you get the UK 200SX to the States? ARE you even in the States? What do you mean theres nothing to get for the S14? Anywhere in the world the 200SX aka 240SX aka Silvia aka S14 has strong tuner support. Just focus around turbocharging. If you have the SR20DE, get a turbo; if you have the SR20DET, get an turbine upgrade. Just be happy that you aren't stuck with our torquey-but-flimsy KA24DE in the States. We have to begin with an entire transplant to vision a 400-500hp future for our 240SX. The truck motor tops out at 250hp and then the connecting rods break, even with that near OEM KA24 turbo kit from HKS USA plus bottom-end strengthening.

Doesnt seem to be a single REAL 200SX post. Has no one ever owned the 95-on U.S. 200SX? Poor car, it never received any attention, especially since it existed during that Honda dominated era. I should know, I OWNED one for some time. It was such an annoticed car that every other person that ever rode in my car for the first time asked, "Uh, what car is this?" After a while I didnt even bother calling it a 200SX anymore, since they had no idea even what that was; I just referred it to as "a 95 Nissan" or even "Sentra coupe". Folks dont seem to care about quality performance anymore; all they want is a sharp, modern-looking, trendy car. What ever happened to cars like the NX2000 egg? Oh well, people are sheep.
