Supercar - Nissan 240sx

The present Nissan coupe (in America this car has the index 240SX, and in Japan it is famous as Nissan Silvia) is the predecessor of Datsun from the sixth generation. In general, this car almost did not change. Bright appearance, drive on the rear wheels.

In Europe, only Nissan 200SX with a turbine engine of two hundred forces, designed for a capacity of two liters, is realized. Rear differential - with partial automatic locking. The Nissan 240SX s13 looks great. Narrowed, barely slanting headlights, an elongated hood, a large overhang from the rear - a car tending forward.

The spirit of the sporty style of the Nissan 240SX is also felt inside the interior, in which the seats are made of leather with moderate stiffness. A large-sized speedometer and a tachometer, and the driver is turned through the steering wheel. Elevated at the level of the shoulders bar, located under the window, forming around the driver and the passenger some kind of power frame, smoothly passes into the panel in the foreground. The lever of the manual transmission Nissan 240SX in five steps, as if the joystick of the game on the computer, stands out in the center.

And still, the first inspection leads to the leaders of the Nissan 240SX. Probably, for a reason it is ten thousand dollars more expensive than Honda. But it's too early to draw conclusions about the car.

To test the car Nissan 240SX, you need not just ride, and really ride, including, including the track for racing. Nissan's engine is basically a motor in two liters, which is set, for example, on the model Primera. But now it is difficult to know: variable phases of gas distribution, turbine boost, intercooler. And in the end - in exchange for the former hundred and thirty forces - two hundred and twenty. And it is not in the transverse plane, but in the longitudinal plane. Nissan easily starts from the spot and unquestioningly follows the accelerator pedal.

Up to three thousand revolutions per minute, the motor operates normally. But after three thousand five hundred revolutions per minute - with the acceleration of the core, emanating from the gun. And after five thousand five hundred revolutions per minute - again a decrease in temperament. The engine tears, but there's little use. If in the conditions of the standard mode there are no complaints to the controllability of the car (clarity in reactions, availability of feedback), the sports line makes one look at the Nissan 200 SX differently. The car is difficult to control as soon as one of the axes goes into slip mode.

Do not foreshadow the danger of the first moments. If traction is present, the vehicle is gradually shifted to the outside of the turn. First, the car drives the front wheels outward turning. To keep him on the road, the driver tries to cause a misalignment of the rear axle, it's good to do this with such an engine, without special efforts.

But the Nissan 240 SX is in the zone quite dramatically. An even more unexpected response can be obtained for corrective actions. It is quite difficult, almost impossible, without causing a second fluctuation of the machine, to correct the skid. The pace of maneuvers of Nissan is such that it is difficult to catch the old trajectory: we must move a few meters away from the original trajectory, restoring stability. In these modes, the Nissan 240SX needs a filigree and fairly quick wits while driving.
