1997 Nissan 200SX SE-R
This page is dedicated to my 1997 200SX SE-R, all of the modifications I have done and the ones I plan on doing in the near future.
The 200SX SE-R is a pretty fast performer in the coupe market - but with a few mods it really takes off.
Mods so far include:
Stillen intake, Stillen Exhaust (plus some custom cat-back work), Stillen STB, Suspension Tech's Sway bars front and rear, Enkei 16's with Falken Ziex 205 45 ZR16's, Stillen Short shift kit, Stillen front grill
I just did the wheels and tires - so my next Mod is probably going to be the GAB adjustable struts and a spring kit. Maybe the carbon fiber dash kit at some point as well.
For anyone interested in stereo stuff: I am now running (down the signal path):Sony single disc CD, Audio Control EPIcenter, MTX LSX2 3-way electronic x-over, Kicker Impulse 125x2 powering (2) JL 10WO4's, Kenwood KAC 646 running 2 Boston Rallies and 2 Boston tweets up front. Radar detection is provided by my Bel Signature series with TTL and SWS voice warning.
The mods I have done so far have made a noticeable difference - especially in the high end. The Stillen exhaust is VERY loud but I took someone's advice and used DynaMat over the muffler area in the trunk. I then used DynaLiner over the whole trunk under the carpet. It helped with the noise problem considerably and I don't mind it under heavy throttle at all.
These two tables give average numbers for both a stock 200SX SE-R and what my car is hopefully doing.
| Braking 0-60 in feet. | Slalom | Skidpad | Redline | |
| 97
200SX SE-R |
123 | 63.1 | .85 | 7100 |
| H.P. | 0-60 | 1/4 mile | Top Speed | |
| 97 200SX SE-R | 140 | 8.0 | 15.8@88.3 | 109* |
* governed (it hits 109 at 6400 RPM in 4th)
| H.P. | 0-60 | 1/4 mile | Top Speed | |
| 97
200SX SE-R Modified: intake/exhaust |
155** | 7.8 | 15.8 | 109* |
These figures are based on an estimate of H.P. and then
running the figures through Cartest ver. 4.1.
From all of my playing and testing versus reported figures - this program
seems to be pretty accurate. The only numbers that seem off are the
1/4 miles. If people doubt the increase in performance I must say
that my seat-of-the-pants rating system notes a big change and after recently
driving a 170 HP Integra GSR - I have to say that my car felt just as fast.
Either way - I am impressed.
** according to more recent Stillen dyno tests: 6-8 from
intake, 8-10 from exhaust, I added a couple for the new catback mods I just made, then subtracted some to make up for Stillen's numbers
