always fancied one,since i was 16 or so (26 now!!) and ive bought it as its cheaper to run than my old 200sx

cheaper insurance,cheaper on fuel,and just as fast!oh yes! apparently it was dyno'd at 189bhp,but its fast anyway,not bothered if thats true or not! only one more step i would consider and thats TBs!
anyway,hi all!:cool:

Howdo, welcome to NL. Nova looks pretty tidy :thumb:

Like the look of the old SX, and I don't usually like S13s... what wheels are they on it?

never had a nova before,how low exactly is the gear stick meant to be?mine feels REALLY low (im 6ft3 tho) and 5th gear is a pain in the ****! am i meant to be pushing down then slowly going for 5th?(almost the mirror of going for reverse!) its just NOT there unless i do that!

The stick could have been sawn to remove the old knob and fit an aftermarket one. As for fifth, I found it tricky at first, but never had to push the stick down.

yeah,theres an aftermarket one on there,how hard is it to swap back to a standard one?as im more bothered about reaching the stick than it being shiny!
jbowman,the 200sx can be had from about 500 quid!so get drifting!
