ok so was looking at buying a new car not to serious at the moment but was thinking either one of 3 they are as follows.

1) 200sx at nearly 400 rwph

2)skyline r33 gtst at 450+

3) gtr 32 with more than both of them

are the high powered sr20dets fraglie? what would been more to keep it up to standered in terms of rebuilting and longevity also car would be driven not to regularly say 100 150kms a week MAX.

would like to know opinions especially if you own one of the about which iam sure some people do!

yes that is true well saying they all well kept and all mods are quality no like ebay style stuff and all tuned by good tuners, would one engine be harder than the rest or so say easier to look after. I know about the money side that isnt a problem just the risk factor i guess.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
