go do a search on there, read the technical forum, it will give you an idea of problems

timing chain needs changed every 160k i read, tho a lot of people say different

listen for rattely bottom ends

the manifold-turbo gaskets have a habit of blowing

the water pipes to turbo have a habit of splitting

look for rust around the usual places

check for smokey turbo

and all the normal stuff

yea as marc said the sxoc is full of good info. check out the buyers guide in the "useful threads" sticky in the "s14 technical" forum. The other threads in there will give you an idea of what your getting in to as well ;)

something that may not be in the buyers guide is to open the boot and pull away the boot liner to check the rear quarters for repairs, 99% of them have slight dents etc here as they are so tail happy in the wet. Not really "walk away" material, but more of a bargaining point (y)

....seen the cyborg about bangor, v nice :grinning:

wheres the s14?
