Hi, THanks I didn't know you had a cardomain too. I've just checked some s110's at cardomain but there are just about 5 or 6 maybe. but maybe I've already seen yours, sincerely I don't remember.

If anyone's been successful with swapping seats from a newer nissan, or other manufacturer?

Do I have to stay in the years, 1980-83?

Can use the original seat brackets? Or Do I need to purchase a universal seat bracket?

Thanks

Thanks a lot guys!

But anyway, I have a 240RS myself and in need of a steering wheel hub for momo or sparco. I can get one for a 200sx 77-79, or for 84+ models. My guess is that the s110 is just in the middle of those. So the question is whether the steering column is more similar to the older models, or the newer. All help would be great!! Thanks!

also...because I love them...any pics of the 240RS and that sweet sweet FJ24?

ETA...2 months maybe? I'm kinda lazy....

but back to the topic back then i found headers that were made by pacesetter and cstom made an exhaust using flowmaster mufflers and later switch to a k&n replacement filter since mine came without power windows i use the one from the coupe ans also switched differentials cause i was told the automatic ones were have higher gear ratios.

But the ost important thing i want to mention is that back in 1995 or something like that on the first few issues on Sport Compact Car magazine they were custom building a 1982 200sx using a turbo from a svt mustang or something like that apparently they dropped the project cause they couldn't compensate for running lean but to be honest i don't remember all the details

i'm also want to know any info as to swap engine preferably an sr20det or even a ka24de please let me now

so ive been looking for a 510 for a really long time and couldnt find a running one but i did find a little thing called a 200sx (S110)...

im about to buy it but before i do i want to know a few things (remeber im a newb)

what is a good price for an ugly but good running 200sx
what will swap in that engine bay w/o to much killer work sr20det?
does it have a lsd
suspension..?

PLEASE HELP GUYS

thank you

so not to be repetitive, but its a direct bolt in to the existing mounts?!

get a rear cradle and a full s13 suspension and convert it to independent suspension that way it becomes easily modifiable later and you can swap up the lsd with ease if need be

so how hard is said swap

thanks again, just want to make sure i dont get in over my head

the good thing about nissans is over the years the motor mounts have pretty much stayed the same....ne motor will just about bolt in, sr, ka, vg.....the biggest issue you are gonna have is the wiring....which if you know a little you can overcome

as for the suspension there is quite a bit of fab work involved....another option is swapping the s12 suspension....it is independent and its almost a direct swap into the s110....may be a better route....the only thing about the s13 is you will have to measure and figure out where to mount everything and get a rear cradle to hold everything in.....but its really up to you how involved you want to get in the whole project

I'm assuming that with the S110, it's like the S12 and you have to weld in new rear shock towers?

what about the front end, can you frankenstein S13 spindles and coilovers on it like you can an S12?

the biggest benefit I can see from an S12 or Z31 rear end would be the ease of getting a LSD to put in it.

(they're both R200 rear ends with a trailing arm IRS set up)

well its not as easy as swapping the s12 spindles I do believe there is some fab work involved in mounting everything welding in some plates and what not....but I would really love to swap the lsd and interchange if necessary....thats why I am working on the project....I will post some pics up next week when I get it started

I am putting a vq35 into mine and some other goodies!

please feel free to email me about it, i am also in NC, cahrlotte

I am looking into buying one of these. I have a clue as to where to get one of these, fairly clean, with only 100k mi on it. I want to turn it into a project.

However, I am unsure as to what kind of parts to use, particularly in terms of suspension and all that. I found a site which cited that KYB makes GR2 shocks for the rear, and when I searched for the parts number, it came up with Mazda RX7 (FC3S) rear shocks - so I am curious as to whether or not the rear set up is compatible with FC suspension. This would be great, seeing as how aftermarket manufacturers are still producing high end performance parts for the RX7.

But that's all I know. Does anyone have any information as to where I could research the kind of improvements / replacements that can be installed on the S110 chassis? Is it at all compatible with parts from the Datsun 240SX S30 chassis? (I read somewhere that it shared similar parts with "Z-Cars")

What about engine parts or swaps? Does anyone know of any existing projects that have something other than a Z or FJ engine in an S110? I would be particularly interested in investigating the possibilities of installing an SR20DE or CA18DE/T in an S110.

Any and all info is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

You can email me at matthew_hope@comcast.net or instant message me on AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) at "hyouriittai"

Dude! If you are seriously going to go through with the VQ install, KEEP US POSTED! That would be insane. I am really interested in how you'd go through with it.

What other goodies are you considering? I am really interested in suspension mods, right now. As mentioned earlier, I really would like to look into an SR20 install, but I wouldnt know where to start! Maybe we should get some serious discussion on performance modifications on the S110 chassis!

What have you concluded about the mounting points for the SR20 block? I think that may be the route I would go if I pick up this S110. Though, I am new to this whole modifying-cars thing, so I was wondering how you'd go about it? (i.e., using parts from a S13, etc.)

I will have one I would be willing to sell here in about a month...I am changing all my suspension to fully independent rear so I'll have everything suspensionwise up for sale....just shoot me a pm or what not and we'll talk

axle?

i own a 1982 Nissan Silvia, also known as 200 sx. The car needs a lot of work. I am looking foor spare parts (front fenders and doors mostly). Anyone got an adress for it?

Thank You
