hey guys not sure if this has been posted yet.

really interested in getting a s14 but need info with people that own it.
hows running cost
is it reliable
are parts easy to find
where do you get upgrades

just more info dont want to just jump into any of this with out knowing.

i would really appreciate the help

ps kinda also interested in a s13

ppoizenmoderator20 Sept 2010, 12:42

running cost same as any performance car

reliable you dont mix the word reliable and sx together

you will become a skilled parts hunter and be sourced by all parts locating agencys around the world as looking so sx parts is a trade test

you get upgrades from reikert bwaaah had to say that its like saying where do you get bread well theres sar pick n pay bla bla bla they around

hope it helps

Here are a few things to expect with any 200 SX

1. Expect to pay like you have no family
2. Expect that there is more wrong with it than the obvious
3. Expect that you will find atleast 3 bad tuners before u find a good one
4. Expect to send it back to the tuner a few day / weeks after you get it back from the tuner
5. Expect it to cost more than u expected
6. Expect to not drive it for atleast the firs 18 months or there about
And lastly,
7. Expect it to be a never ending circle of of pain kinda like having sex, a few minutes of fun followed by months of dry spels, pain + heavy bills

If u can handle that, then only consider buying one...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm im not sure im liking this wonder if it will be more maintanance then my audi....... was working on it every weekend and my vr6's evert 2 or 3rd days

aandre_sx22 Sept 2010, 12:39

Mine never gave me shit I can say driving a A4 audi is alot more maintenance

MMIGGZ22 Sept 2010, 13:01


this what i had and now this is what i got...

im willing to take a chance on a sx thou..... hmmm

Then the S14 is the way to go... younger, less km(normally) ect than the S13. so just find a nice stock one if you can. or otherwise something like ljs14 or BR25SX's?

aandre_sx22 Sept 2010, 14:40

Why don't You try Import a S14a or s15 ???? 😉

nnirvash22 Sept 2010, 15:27

depends on what sx you have, find a good one, hate to jynx myself, but had mine for 9months and not ONE problem.

couldnt be happier with mine.

i think the best deal would be RB25SX's s14 with the rb25det conversion. heaps of power, got all the goodies, and shouldnt give much hassles.

what are you intending for the car?weekend toy, daily drive, track toy?

MMarcoSX22 Sept 2010, 15:55

I dont think the sx has thaaat many major issues, trust me the guys with the rx7's, skyline's, zx's, subaru's etc have just as much running costs... but it is true you have to love a sx to want to keep it and put up with it...

as for finding one, how bout buying mine? considering selling as I have my eye on another sx 😂
