200SX (S14) or R32 GTS-T

[cattivo_69]

Hey guyz

Im currently 19 and

Well i really want an R32 GTS-T however i know coz its imported and all that insurance is a killa

However i kinda like the 200sx (s14) and i know there not an imported model so would it make insurance a little cheaper??

Would anybody know??

Ps Which car would u recommend?? S14 or R32

Thanks

Joe!

They are both really good cars. But if its going to be difficult for you to get insurance then i'd go the s14. Dont forget they are both turbo coupes so the premiums shouldnt be too different.

S14 is by far better for me. is it series 2 ? dont get a series 1 s14.

[cattivo_69]

wats the difference between series 1 and 2???

You know how much there going 4??

Whatever you do... Don't buy a SKYLINE!!!!!!!!!

j/k

series 2 looks more agressive, i think thats about it. It came in 97 and 98. Personally i like the series 1.

The r32's a mad car, fun to drive, great on boost, but sluggish off boost. S14 is a bit better off boost, but it's more of a street car in that it lacks the extra sporty benefits of the r32 like stock boost and oil pressure guage, less adjustability in the seats and steering column, and a different suspension setup.

both good cars, S14 is newer, slightly safer option with service books, parts, etc..

Skylines go hard

R32 GTS-t all the way, great car all round

1994 i think :

1997 *i think :

good old google.

later model lights are so cool

R32 is more of a sports car, also a 6 cycl, so sounds nice are tough. I havent driven a stock one tho.

S14 is an aussie made car, that surprises a few people. Have a beautiful exhaust note on boost. The luxury model has a sunroof and airbag(s?)

I believe insurance will be the same for both cars, coz they are both single turbo coupes.

Id take the R32, or if not id take a S14a, they are worth saving a little bit longer for!

Flaps, not sure where you got that info from, but if it is correct, that did suprise me, got any links to back it up???

This may also suprise a few people.. Insurance on a R32 GTS-t about $2400 at 30% NCB through Justcar. Insurance on S14 200sx ~$4000 at 30% NCB through Justcar. I can't explain it, but going by that, your theory on insurance goes out the window Considering the S14 costs ~$18k and the R32 ~$14k i know which one I would want... but the S14 is dead sexy and the SR20DET is a grat engine too.

In the end, it's personal choice.

To add: I don't think the S14 is an australian made car... It is a silvia at heart, rebadged 200sx, and in Japan came in 3 variations J's Q's and K's just like the S13. Australia had 3 models also, however unlike the JDM, all ours were turbo. Base model was Limited, Sports model had a few things like A/C and a rear spoiler, and the Luxury model came with a sunroof etc.

Dont get me wrong the s14 is a beautiful car, i'd prefer series 2

Although I got one word "SKYLINE" trust me you wont regret it!

take it easy

I had an s14a limited and it was a great car. Came standard with a/c too. The sports had a body kit, and the luxury the sunroof. S14 had climate control which was later taken off the 200's for cost reasons.

Either car will go hard.

my ex-gf had a stock series 2 200sx with the sharper headlights, i think it is a "1997 special edition", it has no sunroof but has twin airbags. she got it last year for 22 grand, personally i thought she was ripped off. who cares? not my money!

[EJ]

if ya gonna get 1 of dem get the s14 is more styleish and better looking but get a series 2

[LaL]

Well, a GTS-t is 1989 design. a S14 is allot newer.

Get the S14 , you wont regret it. and its also faster. the SR20DE-T is just as good as the RB20 and possibly better in most ways.

[MattR]

Well ive had s 32 skylines and just bought a series 2 s14 (97 with the differant headlights, taillights and badge) the s14 seems more fun to drive at this stage with much the same power as my first 32. Australian made??? dont think so. Also the cops dont seem to look at the s14 as much as the skyline as they were AUSTRALIAN DELIVERED, not ausie made. Insurance IS cheeper and so is rego.

[LaL]

i think you should get a S14 if you have the chance of buying one.

[cattivo_69]

Cool thx for ur advice guyz

Much appreciated...

if i need any other advice i know who to ask!!

Cheers

Joe!! :wavey:

[usuckpoo]

the s14 is defintely not made in australia

where did that info come from?

good luck if you have no insurance history...insurance will be a bomb
