ah.

well yes... then you're gonna have a hard time selling...

A very hard time!

I see you don't have a fan shroud.
the fan looses lots of efficiency without the shroud.
I think I have one, if you want.

Good luck with the sale, it really looks nice but in these markets it's going to be tough.

on that note welcome to the 200sx club hahaha merphy found you

so what were the problems

Yay!

Burst a radiator pipe, and sprung an oil leak on the return line from the turbo, dripping onto the zorst mani.awesome stuff.

So I thought I cooked the engine or something which was weird cos I done 100km/h the whole way. It has developed this weird ticking noise though, app the distributor needs to be reset abit from going down to coast level.

sell it!

.. only joking.. yay!

hey i saw your car today at Road lodge gATEWAY 😀
i immediatly reconised it as the one for sale here

it look really neat, made me kinda jealous

congrats

Hah, yea I forgot my parking disc, so I busted it out on the street today 🙂

Shot man!

Sparco, you need to get a hold of me ASAP dude!!

I can tell you why you've having radiator hoses blow, the car is overheating, its overheating because the visco fan has no cowling and air is just swirling around instead of going through the radiator...

Also if you paid R65k for the car, there should be NO issues with it, as in 0.000 or you got ripped off...

I've had the engine inspected by a top ex audi mechanic that owns a tuning place, he does all the tuning and modding for the porsche club, luckily I know him otherwise I don't think he'd bother looking at an SX.

There's plenty underlying issues that caused all that to happen. I didn't pay that price, but still got ripped, won't say anything more till I can sort it out with sparco privately, don't want things to get outa hand here 😉

Have you heard the story of my S14? (bet you thought I hung around here for the conversation, but sadly no, I did have and S14 and a S13 once)

1995 S14 with 120k kms on the clock.
Bought for R80k (which at that stage was a hectic premium, you could get a 1997 for 70k) because the paintwork was mint and the interior was mint, the motor seemed fine but smoked a bit on idle which I was assured was turbo seals (this was almost 5 years ago and I had 0 mechanical skills, I had just learnt how to service my golf myself)

Do an oil change, old oil was very VERY thick, put in some nice new edge, bang, bearing knock and smokes to hell and gone.

Not having any mechanical skills, took it to snail conversions, R15k for them to pull the motor and replace ONLY the bearings from the bottom (i.e. no need for new headgasket etc etc) and R4k for a turbo recon at turbo exchange. Less than 1000km later cracked the turbo manifold, had that replaced as well as noisy lifters, another R3000

At that stage we couldnt afford food in order to pay SX repair bills, so I sold it 6 months after buying it for R67k (settlement) So in total I lost R35k on the car in 6 months, in fact I'm still paying off a personal loan for the car...

cheese & rice bud!
You've got bad luck like crazy, atm I'm going down a similar path :/
