1990 NISSAN 200 SX

A high-spec car that’s very well built and set up, this S13 has been built from the

ground up with all new or fully restored parts, including a brand new crate LS3

engine and Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed gearbox.

The goal was to build a 500 bhp per ton reliable raw track car, the engine is running

a super reliable and very usable 550bhp and after a full geometry and corner

weighting with around 70lts of fuel onboard, the car tipped the scales at 1167kg.

The car has only covered around 1200 miles since the complete rebuild which was

finished in June 2020 and just 3 track days and then its been in storage the last 4

years. We’ve replaced the oil and filter and checked over everything else so now the

car is ready for the track.

Body

The build started with a good condition 1990 s13 bodyshell we then sent the shell off

to Envirostrip to be stripped and acid dipped, and from there all metalwork and

fabrication was completed on the bodyshell to lighten, strengthen and customise it

for the modifications that would be carried out. The front arches were tubbed, the

boot floor and rear crossmember were removed, and the areas strengthened, fronts

of both sills were customised, and inner and outer quarter panels and front wings

were customised to cater for the wheel/tyre and arches to be fitted before a full

Custom cages roll cage was professionally welded in along with further

reinforcement to triangulate through to the front struts where a strut brace has been

incorporated right through to the dash bar with more reinforcements in the rear of the

the cage to the gearbox, diff and prop mounting points.

The car was then fully dry built before all panelwork and paint work was completed,

the body has been built with a genuine full wide arch Pandem Rocket Bunny V2 Aero

kit with custom front undertrays incorporating a thick chassis mounted nylon skid

plate, chassis mounted rear diffuser, chassis mounted rear wing, custom carbon

canards, carbon aero mirrors, large front and rear brake ducting, aluminium radiator

ducting and a full polycarbonate window kit with large sliders and several other

vents.

All the panels are steel so there is still weight to be saved if needed, the bonnet has

had vents installed and the rear edge thinned out to help with cooling, and the doors

have had a lot of metalwork removed to save weight and custom door cards built up

with simple pull cords and handles.

Engine and running gear

The car was then built up mechanically using a new cammed Ls3 crate motor from

GM performance with Sikky stainless 4-1 manifolds, Sikky large capacity baffled

sump, Sikky billet engine mounts, Sikky intake, genuine wiring loom, throttle pedal

and ecu mated to a new Tremec T56 magnum 6-speed gearbox with Sikky 7’’

gearbox linkage extension, Mishmoto large aluminium radiator with pusher fan,

custom prop and z32 differential. All the suspension arms were replaced with

driftworks arms with rose joints so virtually no bushes on the car at all, all the

suspension bolts were blasted and re-plated in the correct zinc plating, and we useddriftworks geomaster 2 hubs, HSD coilovers, sikky anti-roll-bars, Ksport 8 and 4 pot

calipers on fully floating rotors being fed with plenty of ducted cool air, Work 18’’

x9’’-11’’ 3 piece split rims and 265/285 NS2R’s, finally a beautifully made full

stainless steel sectioned and v-banded exhaust system was built to keep the car

quiet enough to pass all noise tests then car had a full alignment and corner weight

at Northampton Motorsport.

Interior

On the interior we have a pair of Recaro Profi Spas in full Kevlar/carbon with OMP

harnesses, a custom carbon fibre dashboard with stack gages, an OBP floor

mounted 3 pedal box with reverse cylinders, remote reservoirs, a remote bias

adjustor and custom linkage to throttle assembly, fully plumbed fire extinguishing

system, electrical cut offs, custom 100L baffled and foam filled fuel cell with twin lift

pumps, swirl pot and high pressure pump all built with Earls fittings and lines, custom

footplates, a fully plumbed fire extinguisher sysyem, handheld extinguisher, Sikky

hydraulic high level handbrake, custom clear gearbox cover and small electric fan

demister.

The car has been set up for track and has no power steering (full kit inc GM pas

pump and lines provided) or servo’ed brakes to keep weight down and the car

focused, it handles very well and predictably with tons of grip at high entry speeds,

the brakes stop it very well and the engine provides loads of power from low rpm

making this car very easy to drive fast. It is light on tyres and brakes due to the

weight and could be easily converted into a drift spec car with minimal work (pas and

a slight geometry change)

Oil and filter changed each track day

‘G20 SX’ Private reg included

I have 800+ photos of the entire build that I can share with you and of course,

invoices totalling more than I would like to know. Currently sorn but was mot’ed

previously.

Lots of previous history and pics of the car as I've owned it for about 15yrs.

Thanks for looking and any questions at all just call or msg Dave on07805 252018
