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

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.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
