My new '95 S14...

Last week I saw this at a local Nissan yard, and I had to have it. It's such a good example, and everything is in mint condition.

It's a '95 S14 200SX, but I posted it in here, because I understand our 200SX here is completly different than that American one, and it's closer to your 240SX.

It's got the SR20DET engine in it as standard, aswell as RWD. The last owner added a much larger exhaust than stock and painted the calipers red (which doesn't look good on a Maroon car), but other than that it's completly stock. I'm thinking of rechipping it, and upgrading the airfilter (either straight K&N swap or a Pod).

These are the only pics I have of it at the moment, but I'll take some more once I give it a good clean and wax when the weather allows.

Any comments are more than appriciated :smile:

When I bought my S14 it was the same color, but there was one big difference... I DIDN'T GET AN SR20DET!!!!! I GOT A KA24DE!!!!, but times have changed. good looking car though. How much you pay in US dollars?

HA! Finally living in New Zealand pays off :tongue:

I paid $7,000 USD for it, but comparing prices between both countries is hard to do due to the economy, different spec cars and a whole lot of other things. The mileage on my one is pretty good (93,000km) and the previous 2 owners were both men in their 30's and 50's, so they took great care of it.

MATE!!!!!!!! What a beauty!!!!!!! Looking very nice indeed- 200SX badging means it is NZ New as well- a very rare thing from my experience:bigthumb:

Thanks man :smile:

Yeah it's NZ new (a must when I buy cars, I won't touch a Japanese import) and both the previous owners took extremly good care of it, which or course, I'll do ten-fold :smile: . There are actually alot of NZ new S14's around, but they're all driving on the street! No one wants to sell them, and well, I can't exactly blame them! I was looking at S15's too, but they're still up around the $28,000 NZD mark, which is too high for me. I got this for $14,000 from a Nissan dealer, which was a great buy.

you and me think alike- I also wouldn't touch a Jap import (again- I have had 2 in the past- both were not too good) What did you drive before the 200SX???

My parents once had a Jap import, and them and I learnt the hard way through that car. After that I swore I'd never get one myself.

Last car was a '95 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.3 carb. You can see it in the background of the first pic with for sale signs in it :tongue: That was my first car, and what I learnt to drive in. But you just can't compare it to the 200SX. They're completly different cars. I think the Mirage takes twice as long to get to 100 :rolleyes: lol.

congratulations you bastard!!!!!

hahah, im juss messin withya. im just extremely jealous of your car. it looks great.

i guarantee youll never find a 240sx with a ka24de that clean. no matter how much chrome you dip it in, the ka24de engine bay looks like a pig sty.

great car man!:bigthumb:

:eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

absolutley beautiful :bigthumb: great find!

nice...get a front mount...i swear our cars are made for a frount mount. they look so good:bigthumb:

btw that is one of the cleanest engine bays i have ever seen.

whats with the rear wiper?

i like the huge wear wiper, but you should convert the front to one wiper also... euro time!

7000... if you find one for that kinda money again man pm me!! what an unbelievable find and deal. amazing.

congrats

edit: even though you're in new zealond that is a pretty good find!

It's for wiping the water off the rear window :tongue:

Most, if not all of the recent Nissans sold here have had rear wipers. I guess it's just something Nissan like to do here. I'm not really complaning though, on frosty mornings (there have already been 2 in the 4 days I've had it) it makes things so much easier.
