Ugly? Imho that s11 is awesome. Looks like its got a few nice addons as well. Z20 4 spark plug efi I assume? A good engine.

S11 hatch is rare. All i ever see is the coupes.

I like the older 200's, prefer coupes, but hatchies are cool.

What kind of motor does it have? Assuming it's a Can car.

That is gangster.

I've never even seen one of those before, not even a picture. I've seen a pic of a coupe though.

Nice wheels, what are they?

Gawd, that car is practically screaming for an obnoxious "2 feet up in the air" bosozoku exhaust pipe.

I want one. NOW.

If its a US car, it should have Z20e. A semi-rare z series with straight shot round ports, and 4 spark plugs (most z series have 8). The intake manifold on those z20e are impressive for their time, look like something you would see on a 90's honda engine. They also have an early electronic ignition system.

I grab all of those s11 z20's I find, they have nicely posistioned motor mounts, and front sump oil pan that can be used on any z or l. The oil pickup tube is also aluminum, which isnt common to the others. The crankshaft is fully counterweighted and is basically the same crank used in the FJ's except for a rear main splash guard sheild.

The Z20 was the last of the non-siamesed blocks for nissan, the bores are only connected by the deck and not "siamesed" together like z22, z24 and so on.

Some later S11 had the z22 as well, although ive never seen an oem EFI version. There was never a Z22e only Z22s.

schools out

hey "themadscientist" I'm pretty sure S11's never came with a Fj dude.....the S12 came with a few different engnines tho.....like....VG30, Z20, Z18ET, and FJ20ET. I think it was only US and possibly canada that got the FJ and VG in the S12's tho.....everyone else got some form of Z series motor.

Pretty sure ALL S11 and S110's came with Z series motors tho.

I've owned a S110 sedan and a S110 hatch. both had Z18E's in them

The FJ20 debuted in the S110s in NA trim.

UUUHHH I want a 80-83 200sx, they are hard to find. I believe it comes with the NAPS-Z 2.0 litre, 8valve head. It isn't hard at all to frankenstien a KAE 12 valve head and ecu to upgrade and make more power. You will need to probably clover leaf weld the head or look for some raised dish pistons.Basically you have what is called the siamesed Lseries. All Lseries internals can defenitely achieve a good amount of CHP and high rev with minor modifying. I defenitely want one.

Actually Vinnie, like i mentioned above, the z20e/s is non-siamesed. There is a myth floating around that these blocks are siamesed, it is just that, a myth. The cylinders are completely seperate, do not join together.

In order to slap a 2.4 head on that 86mm bore z20, you will need to bring the bore out to at least 88mm (unless youd like lots of valve shrouding). This is the absolute maximum i would ever bore a z20 block.

So basically I would have a slightly smaller bore than the z22s. Doesn't sound bad, torque is good, it will just lose some rev.........

Not true my first car was a HS130. I respect the oldschool S-cars. That S110 is in pretty good shape just needs alittle TLC.

Wasn't the "hot" set up to use an L20B blick and the z22 head---or was that tyhe Z22 block and the L20B head?
