My mate just bought one the other day, if you search for threads I posted you can see what people thought of them on there. I checked the car out for him and done some little bits on it for him too. My honest opinion...for the money, it is a fucking no brainer. Seriously cool car, tonnes of fun, serious potential, even stage 1 is fucking serious on road. Go for it man you won't be disappointed. How much is it going for?

They are good cars certainly for what you pay, 200bhp out of the box and some simple changes and your at 250bhp+. Iv had two of them and i can seriously point out that if you think RST hide rust under the bodykit, 200sx's hide rust absolutely everywhere and they DO ROT quite bad.. my last one collapsed on me when i jacked it up!

I had an S14A and it was awesome!! Made the mistake of fitting a massive non baffled exhaust to it and it got annoying to drive after a while!! Very tail happy in the wet but great fun!!
