Bidding for an AUTO nissan 200sx oops on ebay

[hard_corejoeboy]

Well i kind of accidentally bid not realising it was an auto would it be hard to change it to a manual?

[Moke]

Someone should outbid you hopefully :y:

[hard_corejoeboy]

Hopefully but its a really good example with a brand new 15k engine andf not a bad colour either..

[Moke]

Cool :A:

I'd offer you some advice, but I no fook all about changing from AUTO to MANUAL :wall:

[MJ05LLY]

Cant you just retract your bid?

[CampDavid]

I'd imagine it to be extremely difficult and not worth doing

[hard_corejoeboy]

Don't think i can but its got a lot of potential just shame about the auto ness lol

[BONGO1733]

It's not that hard to do and the auto diff is better too ;)

[hard_corejoeboy]

I just assumed having an auto would be a very bad thing seeing as i like to drive fast lol but what would need to be changed im assuming gearbox clutch all the inside as well...

[BONGO1733]

Gearbox,gearstick,flywheel,pedals,clutch and hydraulics ;)
I have a flywheel under my desk if u need one ;)

[rey]

Look at sxoc, there's some info on there regarding switching the transmissions.

[hard_corejoeboy]

Do you reckon it could be done for less than £500?

[Azza-VTR]

If you do the work yourself than maybe so otherwise probably not

[BONGO1733]

Do you reckon it could be done for less than £500?

If you can do it your self then yes :y:

[hard_corejoeboy]

Hmm may have found myself a bargain then and the sale of the saxo can cover that. SR20 a lot more tuneable than a vtr lol!

[rey]

Do you reckon it could be done for less than £500?

Depends on price of parts ;)

[BONGO1733]

You could get a whole tatty s14 for £500.00 :P

[BONGO1733]

Look here loads of info :y:

This is true ;) but then all depends on how mechanically minded he is, and whether he'd put a new clutch in etc

[ryanmt]

not an S14 for 500 unless it was really screwed. S13 you can!

[Graeme]

even auto would be faster than your vtr!

auto's easier to drive aswell

[dannyhall]

Retract your bid... Google it.

Massive job swapping gearbox over I think?

[hard_corejoeboy]

How can you retract a bid? Didn't think you could?

[dannyhall]

Saved my ass a few times!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190368718698&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT this is what i bid on...

[dannyhall]

Looks ok, but they usually fetch that much? It's done 100K + just had a new block put in.

How much you bidding? You been to see it in the flesh?

[hard_corejoeboy]

The bid is on £1600 my max bid £1900 and no im in afghanistan flying back into england sunday lol

[dannyhall]

Oh right, I personally wouldn't buy/leave a deposit on a car without seeing it in the flesh first.

Good luck, sick colour though :)

I would give it a miss :wacko:

[rey]

I would give it a miss :wacko:

As would I, my brother is selling his 14a soon, but I've got a feeling it'll be too much for you

[hard_corejoeboy]

Not good?

[BONGO1733]

How much ££££ have u got to spend?

[hard_corejoeboy]

After i get back i reckon about £5000 really i probably have more but want to save some cash for when i leave army in sept.
I was going to spend about that on the vtr but its going to be such a pain in the ass converting to vts etc etc and figured a 200sx has cheaper tuning potential and a bit of a better reputation

[BONGO1733]

For £5000 you could get a nice one i will have a look for you where are u based and how far will you go to get one ? ;)

[hard_corejoeboy]

I have about 3-4000 to spend now (whilst im on r and r) i will travel anywhere.

[dannyhall]

And a manual, IMO it looks better:

That's non turbo :homme:

My brothers will be up for sale for around £4000.

UK model, No rust, 280bhp, Manual, around 80k iirc

[hard_corejoeboy]

I like white buit thats double the price and non-turbo..

Loads about here :y:

[dannyhall]

Fair play, non turbo is not good.

I like this one:
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1462095.htm

But finding one under 80k will be hard, I wanted one but mileage was way too high!

Or how about one of these?

[sir_dave]

Retract it.

Auto + downshift + halfway round a corner + boost = hedge.

[rey]

T'is fairly lowish miles for a 14a bud

[BONGO1733]

80000 miles is nothing on a sr20det ;)

[BONGO1733]

Looks tidy mate, I really want to buy my brothers from him, I love them.

But it just isn't practical for me now, with uni etc :(

[BONGO1733]

They are gerat cars i have had 4 s14a's had to sell because i am buying a house :homme:

That's my brothers second one, he's only selling as he wants a new bike!

[hard_corejoeboy]

Yeah the wise men at sxoc have convinced me its all a little fishy so think im just gonna stick with the little sax. God if citroen had just given it the 150-200bhp it deserves i wouldn't have had this problem lol
