Nissan 200SX Accessories & Parts

The Nissan 200SX first got its start in 1964 as the Silvia, a two-seat coupe. It would eventually morph into one of the Japanese automaker's most reliable vehicles, attracting a wide demographic of drivers to its efficient yet sporty attributes. After 1968, the model was put on the back burner but it was brought back once again in the '70s to go head to head with the Toyota Celica. This is when the Silvia first started being branded as the 200SX in other markets. It was constructed off the Nissan S platform as a front-engine, rear-wheel drive vehicle and boasted a 2.0L four-cylinder engine with a turbocharged 1.8L also available as an option. By the early 1980s, the model was available in the US as the 200SX as both a coupe and hatchback. In 1987, the turbocharged 1.8L engine was dropped from the hatchback, but an SE version that boasted a 3.0L V6 was introduced, showing off 160 horsepower and 174 pounds-per-foot of torque.

1988 welcomed in a refreshment of the Nissan 200SX parts. In Japan, where it was as popular as ever, the Silvia name was still used. However, just about everywhere else the car was known as the 200SX. The hatchback body-style was abandoned and instead replaced by the 180SX. This period ushered in a four-wheel drive steering system for the first time, as well. Engines were split between a 1.8L DOHC inline four-cylinder, a turbocharged 1.8L DOHC inline four-cylinder, and a DOHC 2.0L inline four-cylinder configuration. Engines were mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic. As the early '90s hit, the size of the model increased slightly. Sales were also not as strong in the US and elsewhere, however, thanks to NISMO (Nissan Motorsports International), the 200SX parts were given a boost. Eventually, the model caught on as a niche vehicle for performance-enthusiasts while in Japan, it kept steady in terms of sales figures in a base package.

In 1996, the 200SX parts were restyled. Both the front and rear fascias were redesigned while updated projector headlights and new tail lights were implemented. The exterior also showed off new parts that were not installed previously. However, within a few years, Nissan decided to discontinue the model in all markets. Although the Nissan 200SX is no longer assembled, it is still an extremely viable presence at car shows around the country and has found new life on the aftermarket. But even without all of the hook-ups, the 200SX is still established as an extremely reliable and efficient vehicle that Nissan produced over an extensive period. Even for its last year of production, the Nissan 200SX still received a lot of praise from around the industry. It was ranked above the industry average according to JD Power and Associates, and Motor Trend magazine referred to it as a 'highly entertaining dynamic sport coupe'.
