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??

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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
