My bro had a 200SX SE-R with a bunch of mods and that thing was quik as fuck. Reliablity was never an issue, he had nearly 100K on the car before he totalled it, and the biggest prob was the clutch (which suprisingly lasted that long considering we drove the shit outta it). Just make sure you buy a clean 200 thats been takin care of and youll be ok.
