Alright guys, this is the Deal, i'm selling my car, I need something more affordable, with AC, and above all roomy (i'm 6'1 @ 214lbs an S13 is very small) and I have 3 options for a new car. with the money i sell my current car for, + 1500$

Z32) Buy an N/A kouki conversion some Volks, KYB AGX shocks and ground control Coilovers, and a Sebring Exhaust, fix all teh bugs, Ice cold AC, nice sound system. and have a nice car for me and the GF.

S14) allot more space than an S13. Simple T28 KA-T, same suspension as stated above but with added RUCAS and Front Camber plates.

Q45) some VIP Rims, Z33 Brembo's in the front, J30 rear Ebrake set up, Z32 rotor and STi Brembo Caliper, with a Y33 Coilover set up. Ice cold AC, nice system. and have a good backseat for when we feel frisky. I want something comfortable, that will look good and be fun to drive. with the exemption of the Q45 that would be pure VIP

lmk whar you guys think

I voted Q. Do it up nice, get yourself a clean daily out of it, come back to a cheap track slut S14 later.
And you're whiney about the S13 size. I'm 6', 240#s and fit just fine.

I think if you're getting rid of a S13 because it's way too small then going to a Z32 or S14 is not that much better. I'm 6'2" and went from Z32 ---> S14 and they are both cramped, period. S14 is a little better though.

q45 and do it up. thats the way to go in my book.

Q45.... low and slow with room and many many lady friends :D Put a mini bar in the back brrotha... Yeah, definately VIP it up.

Z32 i'd never get.

S14 is a viable option. No ka-t though.

Q45 VIP is ehh. Low budget VIP= bad VIP.

Your list makes no sense to me. YOu talk about a 2 seater, then a 4 seater, then a 4 door.

VIP: poor taste, premium prices!

z32 or s14 for sure.

What wrong with your S13? you can always put AC into it other than that I don't see these being any cheaper than your current car.

z32 for me... I kind of had a feeling a bunch were gonna put q45... I've always wanted a z32, just get it, and the way you said you are going to do it up makes a great daily driver... Thats my two cents :bigok:

Z32) Not roomy or more affordable

S14) Not roomy

Q45) Not more affordable



Does it have to be Nissan? I assume you have about 5,000 to spend. That could buy you a nice A4 or 325i.

i would choose Q45.

Fuck all these punks that say a Q45 is not VIP worthy or low budget VIP. They probably have never owned a VIP let alone a Q and don't realize in the U.S. the VIP options are a little more limited! Plus Q's are dope ass cars and guess what they are not low budget. If you got the money to rock a Q do it.
Just a reminder Q parts are a lot more expensive than S series parts. So make sure its clean mechanically. So ya go with the Q bardabe.

09-08-2007, 08:07 PM
yeah well pretty much whatever my car sells for +/- 1000$ to spend on car and everything. I'm a die hard nissan fan. I can't see myself owning anything other than a nissan. I owned a Z32 before and personally it was comfortable as hell, same goes for my friends S14, and well a Q45 just HAS to be comfortable. that's why im asking

09-09-2007, 12:10 AM
go s14 man, i bought a s14 instead of the s13 because of the space when i personally love s13's more

look for a nice kouki se, i'm kicking myself for not waiting on one

If you are just using the car for a daily, go for comfort! Go for the Q :)

C. Senor
09-09-2007, 10:16 PM
i voted q, but will add , if you want comfort then leave it stock. if you want a car you can still have fun...try like an older m3 or something. still fr. have a decent amount of parts available, i believe 6'1 will fit in that car with enough room left. and have a good amount of power, and available tuning and all sorts of things. but that's just me.

09-12-2007, 05:09 PM
Oh, yes a new option just added E36 BMW

TheWolf
09-13-2007, 08:59 PM
e36 bmw's suk period.. even m3's suck... anyone who has owned one will agree their track performance is abismal and their road car performance is slow..

get AC for your s13.. once people quit doing budget swaps and realize AC is REQUIRED not some hardcore optional crap.. if you can do swaps, wireing and fabrication.. you can do AC.

I was surprised when I saw majority of the votes going to the Q. That's where I put my vote though. If I could afford a second car, I'd be a balla in a Q, no doubt. Bippu FTW!

Rob's S14
09-21-2007, 11:12 AM
would say if you're looking for comfort go with the q, I have an s14 and love it, but I've recently been thinking of getting a second car as my daily and the q is near the top of my list.

If you get a Q45, you'll just be stuck with the same car modded the same way as everyone else in a couple years.
Not very original.
You, know, kind of like S-chassis now.
Get something unique, yet still modifiable.
Here are my suggestions:
S30, smog exempt, with an ITB equipped NA RB25.
Turbocharged second gen BMW 7-series with factory 6-speed.
VIP-influenced 1970 Dodge Dart 4-door with RB25DET power.
SR20-powered Mercedes 190E.
Late 90's Mitsubishi Galant with jdm VR4 drivetrain.
Alfa-Romeo Spyder with 4A-GZE slammed with watanabe's, full cage, and a hardtop.
Triumph GT6 with SR20DET.

i voted for the Q. Z32 and S14 won't be nearly as comfy as the Q. The Q looks sick when it's done right slammed w/ some big shiny low offset wheels and clean aero.

all are good options for cali weather IMO. my personal opinion has alot to do with my location. my next car will most likely be a subaru outback or forester. snow would be much more fun with awd.

but i like the Z32 idea. im a big fan, personally.

Q45.... low and slow with room and many many lady friends :D Put a mini bar in the back brrotha... Yeah, definately VIP it up.

Same reason I bought my J30t well that and I crashed my second s13 into a pole at 60 mph.

j30 gets better milage than the q45 and when your on the gas the pick up is pretty close to the Q45 because of the lighter chasis, however the ass looks funny...

I say get a older infin that will be reliable and when you get the change strip an s13 chasis down to nearly bare frame, and i mean strip everything.

Than put it back together as light as possible, like 2300 lbs light or lighter.

CF doors, Hatch (paint everything so from the outside tech bastard think its still metal haha).

USE CF driveshaft, cf hood, sr20det with gt3071r, stock intake mani, haltech short plump fmic, NO pwr steering fab in a manual rack from a Z car (even lighter), 17 x 9 all the way around 400 whp.

Thats my dream S chasis. oh and cocaine white.

09-27-2007, 08:27 PM
My dream car would be a supercharged chevy LS powered IS300. Now that would be nice.

go with the s14 and just hook it up clean... but that q45 will be hella pimp...

tre
10-31-2007, 01:06 AM
I say other for the strict reason of: 2002 Audi S4 $12,000-15,000 depending on condition. That is VIP :P

Plus stasis center diff makes it 88% RWD dominant.

11-07-2007, 09:17 PM
rhd conversion to your s13. passanger side is much roomier.:bigok:

11-07-2007, 09:23 PM
-ka-t's are wack
-I only like z32's for there brakes, the only thing left is a q45.
-Why not get a s14 with anything else but a ka-t...maybe an ls1 or something interesting, an rb

11-08-2007, 01:19 PM
Q45 will be the most comfortable but Vip is a super money pit dude and you gotta go hard or go home with VIP. Z32 is straight homo and I will call you pedro for having a Z32 hahaha (remember that car) S14 has more room and you already know alot of stuff about the S chassis so I think for you S14 would be best. Plus its the cheapest out of the 3 and Bmw parts are expensive to replace.

Unless your Q45 is gonna look like this then dont do it.
