So for anyone who cares, my new wife and I have decided against buying a house for a while, as we'd previously planned. Which leaves me able to go car nutty for a few years until we do take the homeowner plunge <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
 '>So now I'm looking for a new project car to work on, I'm keeping my existing s13 and giving it to the wife upon getting a new ride. So here's my dilemma... as much as I LOVE 240s, I've been seriously contemplating getting a z32tt to play with... it's big and heavy and I wouldn't be able to go drifting anymore, but it's a nice ride none the less. So my question is: what would you do? S13? S14a? or z32tt? I love my s13 hatch, I know it really well now, and I love the looks. The s14a is longer and heavier but still a pretty car, even if it isn't a hatch. z32tt, well, I've just always wanted one <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=' '>I'd really like to get responses BASED ON EXPERIENCES! Real answers please folks... not just, "i've got a s14, you should get one too", or "go 300xz, cuz they mad tyte y0!"... I'd like to get a decent discussion going on the pro's and cons of all 3 cars <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=' '> Let the comments fly! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'> |

I would say go Z32! Yeah the Z32 is heavier but It is a serious sports car with 300 fricken HP out of the box! And handles way better than a S13, although I have never driven an S14. I love my 240, but I've always wanted a Z32TT, they are just pretty tough to find in excellent condition. And If you get one I can live vicariously (sp) through you <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Uhh, i'd say go with s14a. Hatches are nice, but diversity is better <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
'> honestly, before i bought my car, i was all about the 300zx. I was gonna get one insplace of the s14, but money issues forced me to buy an s14. Well, sure thing its slower. But lately, i've started to notice, that i like the way my car looks more than i like the 300zx. It got more style <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> Plus i got to sit in my friends ride not too long ago, and i thought the 300zx was less comfortable... personal opinion. As for the tt option, you can turbo it and be about at the same point for less money <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

for less than $2,000 + a Z32TT, you can have a reliable, emissions friendly, 385 horsepower. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'> parts are rather expensive for the car though. and you have to take it to the dealer for certain things that you would think you could fix on your own.

I would go for the S14a....you mean the 97-98 240SX...right? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'>
If so....yea i would go for that car...I love the looks, the handling is better IMO compared to the Z32 and is easier/cheaper to maintain... It just a nice car stock and even better modded....IMO...the S-14 can be the around, well-rounded sports car... You can get power, looks, handling all in a nice Japanese coupe package.... get the S14..... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=' '>

I'm not looking to start another tired engine debate, but from PEOPLE I KNOW PERSONALLY, that's the way the stats go. *sigh* why can't I just get an r32 skyline <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='  '> |

damn someone start a discussion like this in my thread about keeping it or not <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
'> The VR4 is very nice. They are also very expensive... though the price differences could be by a lot in eastern and western WA.

I'm looking at 1st gen at the moment (90-94?), possibly 2nd gen if I can afford it, since they have the 6 speed tranny <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=' '> |
