Nice car though

Mate has an almost identical one, but with cream leather.

Similar mods too.

Are they Skyline Brembos?

Beautiful, really love these. They just scare the crap out of me in terms of potential running costs...

Really? Parts really arent that bad, especially if your on the SXOC nearly every part you could ever need comes up on there regularly.

The SR20 is fine just as long as its looked after, its like any car, skimp on the maintenence and it will come back to haunt you.

I'm not sure on the brakes, I think there just bigger disks, either with the standard calipers or Z32 calipers off a 300ZX.

There isnt that much to learn tbh, as long as you look after them, then not much goes wrong.

Oh really? I'll have a look at the history and see if its ever been up the otherside of the border.

How come it's got Nismo 555's on a stage 1 Jez chip? With 296bhp I would suspect a stage 2 chip to be honest.

I wasnt too sure about this either, but its either a custom map, or a stage 2 chip . . . . I'll find out once I have got it back.

Thats exactly what my mate said, its just that there seems to be a disproportionate number of cars being sold as 'spares or repair' with bottom end knock and the like.

The SR20 is fine if serviced regularly. The problem comes with missed oil changes which causes the cam spray bars to gunge up. The cams wear taking metal fragments to the sump with predictable results.

Owned mine for 7 years and still really like it.
