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!

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 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.

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.

    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25 The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing 
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
