mhub91 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 WOW! Nice car. Quote Link to comment
scooter Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 that's a nice one! interesting colour too. hey can someone with an s12 or know someone with one measure the sway bar? I wanna know the width eye to eye , the length of the arms from the pivot to the eye, and how far the pivots are apart. doesn't have to be exact, can be done with a tape measure. I wanna see if I can make one fit on my s10 200sx, as the stock one is wimpy. thanks :) Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 That's a gorgeous 200sx but damn it's too far. Quote Link to comment

Burabuda Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 ^ yea are you planning to walk there? don't be a cheapy or risk seeing s10's skyrocket in value and out of your price point 1 Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 he sent me them, here are the pics: Damn that is a nice 200sx. And on the east coast no less? If one wanted one, you may be waiting a while for another this nice to pop up. Order some JDM bumpers stat! (I remember once upon a time on Ratsun there was a white, JDM 200sx in the US. Had been gutted for racing inside, but was RHD and totally bitchin, in a used racecar sort of way. Anyone remember that. Had to be like 8 years ago. Wonder what happened to it?) Quote Link to comment

Holy crap I found the post from 2007. Silvia S10. So bitchin, and already flared (Which helps the look of the car IMHO.) Still wonder what happened to it? In the US somewhere. Maybe still in L.A.? Probably collecting dust waiting for Archetypedatsun and a fist of cash.

ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 ^ yea are you planning to walk there? don't be a cheapy or risk seeing s10's skyrocket in value and out of your price point Already found one half the price almost as clean thats 5hrs from me. Not being cheap just don't feel like I need to drive that far for one and spend $3000 especially being that clean to do what I'm gonna do to it. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Found this 77 200sx local to me gonna take a look at it tomorrow it's been for sale in the local CL area for at least 5 years same price sometimes higher. http://medford.craigslist.org/cto/5417928690.html Quote Link to comment
scooter Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Wow...people want money for these now. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Wow...people want money for these now. I know I don't know why I mean I know there rare but they aren't selling even half the price. This one specifically been up for sale for 5 years locally on and off on Craigslist they wanted $4500 when I first saw it but they never quite lowered there price that much. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Talked to the owner just now. He's had the car 10 years he bought from his mom that passed away, got it repainted and majority of the taken car of. New carpet, new paint job stock color, reupholstered seats, back seat needs reupholstered, hasn't ran in months and last time ran a month ago. He said he put a lot of money into the car and is looking to get $3000 for such a rare car. Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 3k is a lot of money huh? 1 Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Sounds like a great deal to me if it is as solid as it looks. Heck they want more than that for an 80s 210 out here. Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 $3K is a lot of money for your average Datsun enthusiast. 1 Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Unless a car is completely immaculate, has been swapped correctly, or is 'literally' rare I see no reason to charge more than a few hundred bucks for any Datsun. Let's face it. 85% of all Datsuns are epic pilrs of crap. But we still love them, sure. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Yeah, that's a lot of money for that. When demand is 0, a supply of 1 floods the market. Yugos are also rare. They are also worthless. 1 Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 not that's it's completely relative to the usa market, but an actual silvia would go for 10-15k in japan atm Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Just stating a fact they don't sell well nothing to get ipitty about because one thinks it's just a little high priced. Honestly $2k would be a perfect price if it runs and drives and everything works. How many have seen sell for that price or over? A built 200sx with wide fenders paint job built L20B with twin side drafts, suspension, wheels and tires sold for $4500. This one the owner has had it over a decade and put a few grand into it when he first got it but still needs more he's hasn't driven it much at all in the past 10 years since he's owned it he couldn't even guarantee it would even run. Rare doesn't always cash out money especially when parts are just as rare to find. Silvia S10 is even more rare in Japan than our 200sx here. It's not a 620, 521, Z car or 510 not everyone is going to pay that much, even the one in Reno didn't sell which was half the price what makes you think this will. Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Buy it, bozo it. $3 is a great price. Fucking paint costs that much. Granted, the paint he got likely didn't. Still, if it's low rust and complete, that's a good price. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 He never called back so I can take a look at it, I'll have to call him tomorrow or wait till next weekend. Quote Link to comment
