That's exactly why I was thinking it may be worth it to just pay the extra $$ and get a 350z. Time will also be scarce in my schedule so having 2 projects wouldn't be best.

The first car that I bought at 18 was a 92 hatch. It was my baby. Having owned an SR S13, an 06 G35, and now an SR Kouki, I can say the G/Z is a much better car but the S14 is a little more "fun." Long drive ahead? I grab the G every time. Feel like tearing up the back roads on a Saturday morning before the kids wake up? It's a toss up.

My current S14 falls squarely as a resto-mod project. I've had to replace all the center console pieces, the sunroof, and all the rubber seals around the doors. Original KA was a leaky, neglected specimen, and was lucky enough to get a full clip (including rear subframe) to complete the SR swap and essentially replace the full suspension with new(er) bushings.

The G has been pretty much hassle free.

I honestly couldn't "pick one" between the two, so we just keep both:

Go with the kouki. 9 times out of 10 that I see a 350Z, it's bone-ass stock & being driven by an older/middle-aged poser. Sometimes even women Might as well add Scion tC, Mazda3, and VW Jetta to the list, or whatever other cars basic bitches are driving nowadays at this point.

How is someone driving a stock z a poser? He can't buy the car because he likes the styling unless he wants to stance it or drift it? I saw an older lady in a lambo about a week ago.... so lambos must be old lady cars.

Either that was extreme sarcasm or just ignore it because he's from failida.

Considering you have a track Miata already grab the z33 and leave it stock.


Or you could do it back asswards like me and get a loan for a Z which just sits in your garage while you mod it and daily drive a beater mid 90's Subaru haha.

I say that because:

by the nature of your question you are probably young and don't want a project as the kouki will likely end up if you mod it to go fast

You will probably wreck it- and koukis are becoming increasingly rare

350z is quicker out of the box

If you are young you will already be paying out of the ass for car insurance on a sports car might as well get the 350z

Sex appeal- girls are not gonna dig the kouki

350z's are coming down in price, a kouki 240sx is going to cost you about the same price

Blah blah blah blah blah... Do what you want

When I sold my 1st s14 I didn't realize how much I missed it so I bought another and swapped an SR in it. Daily drove it for 2 years and traded it for a hooked up 350z. Then I realize how much I hated the 350z ( to big and didn't fit me like the s14) so I got another s14 kouki with an rb25 that I've been daily driving for over a year now. I've learned my lesson not letting this one go or going back to z or g cars had them both. I love my kouki we've had our moments but these cars are only as good as you make them. I go to and from work with a smile every day and the compliments and looks never stop.

I drive a Miata, do you really think I care if it's a "girl car"?

It was more of a reverse-euphemism for someone who isn't an enthusiast in the slightest, rather just buying the car for whatever criteria it is regular folks buy cars on.

Miatas aren't really girl cars, they're just "effeminate" cars because of men with masculinity issues who feel that they are. That being said, they're great fun to drive (just like 350Zs). I'd still get a kouki.

Everyone is too srs today.

Don't remember where but I've heard claims that z33s feel like a fat miata. Miata feeling, but increased weight and power.

Don't know if there is any truth to it though as I have not Miata'd in the past.
