S14 V 200sx differences

[Ger Keane]

Hey lads,
jus trying to do some research on the 200sx. can anyone tell me what the main differences are between the english 200sx and the jap S14?
in Ireland u can get an english import 200sx for about half the price of a same year jap S14.
theres a 2001 200sx for sale that im lookin at the moment but i know very little about turbo cars.
also this car has 90,000 miles so what would the story with the turbo be? is it at the end of its life??
would appreciate any info lads

You're best going and searching on SXOC for that one. I can tell you that although it may say 2001, that will be its date of registration. No S14s were manufactured after 12/1999. I lovely quirk of the UK system that cars are sold according to their date of registration and may actually be several years older. Maybe when I come to sell my S15 I'll advertise it as a 2005....
