Super s is a massive step up from slx Lx haha

And $3k is pretty cheap if you can find one, could always ask some old man that's driving around in one that's not off here and knows nothing about them

That car for that price with the extra mods is pretty good.
The dizzy has been replaced and that's something that tends to go as these cars get a bit older.
It needs a little bit of work but a lot of it you could do yourself and get help from this site.
Many many threads and article on repairs and diagnosis.

Look for:
Any gearbox whines or crunches.
Any variations when at idle could mean the throttle body is in need of a touch up.
Any hesitation under accelration
any oil/fluid on the join between the engine and gearbox (it will mean you need to get the rear main seal replaced...)

massive step up?.....meh more trouble more like it...stick with the normal slx or lx. Go for the series 2 if possible. Forget the super s they are not worth it.

Really?? id take drum rear brakes over discs/rotors anyday,and as for the other extras its not worth the extra cash you pay,get a 1.0 litre and sr16ve the sucker :)

i agree... super s isn't that different compared to a lx really - who gives 2 ****s about ABS (both mine have had ABS removed), rear disc axle is easy enough to come by (with patience) if rear discs are important, front bar with driving lights that u'll never use are purely aesthetic, sunroof is additional weight, super s seats really aren't that much "sportier" than lx/slx varieties, plenty of tachos available to wire in... etc, etc....

You will be looking at $500 for rego and stamp duty for 6mths, plus whatever problems it's has, you can always throw the super s front bar on it :)

Meh its down to personal opinion really, I love my super s's and wouldnt trade em for an lx any day of the week, plus the added bonus of being a rarer car. ABS has saved my ass on numerous occasions ;)

Rarer car = yes probably because when new they cos an arm and a leg more than the base model with minimal if any better equipment than the base model or similar model from other company, hence noone buys them. Thats why they stop selling micra in Australia.

ABS = u really think on a car that weight 800kg with barely enough juice to spin the wheels would required abs? "ABS has saved my ass on numerous occasions" need to do more defensive diving lesson.

whether it requires ABS or not isnt the question here, but no probably not.

whats the price brand new got to do with this thread? nowadays if i can get a car with a sunroof, aircon, power steering, other cool "equipment" and 12 months rego (like the one i bought off you) im pretty happy.

and i wasnt aware they could teach people to predict other road user errors but if you can point me in the direction of where they do id love to check it out.

as i said its personal opinion :)

What im trying to say is that the super s is a "rare" car not because it genuine rare ie, like the subaru sti 22b, but because at the time of sale when it was new noone wanted to buy the super s because of it high price. Therefore nissan australia only sold 300ish car. So coming back to 2011, out of the 300ish car sold only a handful are left hence its become a rare car due to not many around.

Everyone have there own opinion to what they like just that to me i feel that paying twice as much or even more on a super s compared to the base model with barely anything anything difference just doesnt justify it.

i dunno about oz but that sounds like hazard perception, every driver should be able to do this, its a minimal requirement of actually being able to drive, however, its not the point in question on the thread

That's a member off here but rarely on here more the UK forum, and that's like a later series k11 98-02/03, headlights and bonnet are different to the ones in Australia

I like it cause it's different
