Alright, I really love the body style and performance of the Nissan 200SX SE-R, the only trouble is, there are none in my area, and I need to convince my parents to let me expand my search statewide. Though I'm purchasing the car and well, everything for it, I'm underage, and need their name on the documents and such.
So here's what I need help with. I need reasons and convincing things to say about the car, it's reliability, it's ability, why is it worth it to go that extra mile for it? What makes the 200SX SE-R that much of a good car to you and your experience with it?
an sr20 with a bolt on turbo on stock internals can boost well over 300whp(stock internals) need i say more? if u need convincing to buy a car, like an se-r, then you really dont know what youre getting yourself into.......please do some research
well i've read atleast that on both sites. infact, i've been reading up on it for the past 6 months. but hearing all this from these sites doesn't help me, i need personal experiences from real to life opionative people, not statistics. everyone's car is different, i'd like to know what i'm getting into.
btw, i really liked the job you did on your tail lights, i'm doing the same on my friend's pontiac grand prix.

ok, lets start the break down,
what r your plans for the car? do u plan on going N/A or turbo, u wanna go show? umm...do u want to Auto-X? this is all important in deciding which car is right for you, personally from what i've experienced first hands with an sr20 motor is that you cant go wrong
I'm not looking for the fastest car, just something that won't be a bitch if i line it up. I'm not looking for an off-roader or anything with massive cargo capacity. I want a quick 2-door coupe that's economical.
well as far as my plans go...
intially all interior work, reverse-indiglo guages, aluminum dash trim, carbon fiber hand brake and shift knob.
JWT Cams, HS Headers, not sure on the Cold Air Intake, Cat Back Exhaust, not sure on the Clutch, eventually a good turbo.
Tien Type SS suspension work, black halo projectors and hopefully I can deal with LUISPEED for some stealth corners. i eventually want something similiar to Matt's Nissan ( http://www.matt4nissan.nismo.org/ ) before the SR20DET work. Similar coloring aswell, but with the C/F trunk. Erebuni's 285 body kit. Smoked tail lights.
50% of this work I can do on my own without much strain or time, just cost. the other 50% I can be assisted with the several close mechanic friends I have.
although I don't post much, I have been picking up a little reading as much as I do

if u plan on going turbo, u wont need the headers, so i'd just save the money, the clutch is almost a must if u dont get a 1997 se-r(lsd), if u want to go all motor tho, with all modifications, expect to have about 200hp at the crank and about 165-170whp which is not awesome but its more than enough to punk some civics

Originally posted by johnebp so explain to me why a suped motor wouldn't go well with the turbo, how do you recommend i go about doing this for max HP?
so assuming youre going turbo, u cannot use a cai and u cant use headers, everything else like cams, pulleys, TB, can be upgraded for max performance

WAYYYYYY more potential means to me that u can throw a bolt on turbo on a stock sr20 and pull over 300whp without putting any type of strain on the engine.....way more potential because its lighter than your KA24DE based altima, more potential because it has a stronger aftermarket support, more potential because IMO looks better
