NA Z32 or SR S13? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

aqwkmf · 08-16-2002, 11:18 PM

what would you rather have and why?

NA Z32
-Intake, Exhuast, Pulleys, Chip, 75-100hp N20

or

SR20DET RPS13
-sr20det, s15 conversion

no comparison. the s13 would be more fun to drive and be a show car. the z32 n/a would be another 300zx, except with a couple bolt ons and nitrous. just my opinion. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

S13 with SR would be better, I wouldnt bother with an NA Z, it will only be fast on the nitrous and that will run out, but the SR will only need boost fluid refills <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I would get the s13 with sr it is gong to be more fune and less weight and you dont need to refill the tank when it runs out.And if you want more power you just change the turbo and so on.Plus the z would just be a z.imo

well being former z31 and z32 driver i loved both the cars..however, having been in a s13 sr b4 i would probably go for the sr s13, also depends on how the 240sx looks, some sr's are fast but the vehicle is ass'd up visually, z's are good for show and go, but then again the 240 has plenty of potential itself, thats your call, a tough desision i think

I've never been a fan of Z32s unless it was the TT version, so I'm sure you're not surprised that I say go SR20DET in the RPS13. Forget the strawberry face conversion and put that money into suspension.
the (RP)S13 is just so much more tossable and "fun to drive" -- especially with an SR in it.
The n/a Z32 on the other hand, is big, heavy and anaemic when it comes to power when put next to an SR'd S13/14.

man s13 all the way.  i mean if it was a tt z32 then id take the z but its na so id rather go for the s13.

nrcooled · 08-17-2002, 04:54 PM

Go w/ the s13 and SR you can have a look at my kill list and figure out what you want.  The z32 N/A is not that fast (but still pretty damn fast) and the tuning potential is soooo much higher for the SR.  Just my .02

Either car will put a smile on your face when you drive it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

how does the z32 compare to the rps13 in suspension wise, auto x, drift?

They're probably pretty similar. . .

I don't quite understand your reasoning,...why put all that money into a NA z?  With the difference you could easily buy a TT.  A tt stock will be faster than a modded NA anyday.  

A TT will also be faster than a stock SR.  

Remember turbo engines have almost limitless potential, whereas NA requires alot of tuning, and the $$$ to power ratio isn't worth it.  

Always choose turbo.
