Should I buy this 200sx?

[NismoGreg]

Didnt really know where to post this but anywaysHere is the link-http://denver.craigslist.org/car/79376912.html

Is the v6 200sx really a rare car?. If I buy this I would keep the v6 and do a 5spd conversion. What is the potential as a track car? Are they reliable?

I cant remember there ever being a v6 200sx. USDM 200sx'es were fwd...i dont think nissan ever transversely shoehorned the VG engines into the 200sxes.

This isn't the sentra-style 200sx, this is the S12 Silvia 200sx. There was a limited number of VG30E models in 1987 and 1988.

As for the car, I hear they're pretty nose-heavy so the handling isn't ideal. Go here though: http://www.club-s12.org/ and ask around. They'd know.

This has "Drag Car" written all over it...

the S12s are heavy but it is a solid car and the V6 is the preferred motor in lieu of a JDM CA18DET swap. Turns out a VG30DETT will bolt in place of the VG30E, WOW! Do it!

Well I will let all of you know if I get this 200sx. Seems they are pretty overlooked cars and they are abundent in the junkyards down here.There are so many motor options and parts are easy and cheap to find. Heck, I could go down to a junkyard right now and get a ca18et for dirt cheap.

or you could get a ka24de and make it a T:)

My wallet is empty so it is always crying...until I hit boost.
