Ahhh... isn't that a 240sx?  The RWD 200sx last showed up with a VG30 V6, didn't
it?  Then we had the FWD Sentra SE-R with an SR20DE (and SR16DE), the RWD 240sx
with first the 12 valve, then the 16 valve KA24DE, and lately I think the 200sx
has returned in FWD form as the replacement for the Sentra SE-R.  No...?
