So Im trying to decide what I want for my next car. Im gonna try and save up $7000 toward it. Im thinking to go with a nice rhd turbo s14 or a 300zx tt. My questions are about the zx. I would like to know what to look for for a car at my price range. I'm looking to buy one from a dealer...unless I find a nice car from a private seller. I just need to be sure of everything before buying. I got a 96 5 speed maxima at the moment. I just want a nice rwd turbo car I can have fun in and the zx and 240 are my 2 picks.

If its a RHD there is a good chance it will be turbo lol. He said he wants a rhd s14.

I love and hate the VG30DETT. I love how badass the engine can be but fucking hate working on them....

you definitely wont find a RHD turbo s14 or Z32-tt at any dealership anymore... its only gonna be private resale.

Fixing shit on on z32's can be a nightmare. I know quite a few shops that love getting them in cause they are getting ready to make bank on them.
Hmmmm maybe thats why its usually old dudes that drive them cause they don't know what to do with there money.

VG30detts arent that bad.
I Used to own a TT.
Once you take care of some of the necessary deletes of misc water lines, vac hoses and emission stuff (EGR, AIVs") and yes I passed smogg with out them. everything is pretty easy to get to.
I mean everything is right at the top that needs to be accessed regularly.
Just when looking for a TT , DO NOT BUY SOMEONES PROJECT thats when the headaches begin and never end. also never buy an NA swapped to TT z32. unless you know the person.
Try to find a stock one, or a well taken care of one.. Get onto 300zxclub.com and find one thats for sale on there. 90% members there take very good care of their cars.
z's are more expensive maintenance wise, but they damn sure break neck when cleaned up.

I looked on autotrader,ebay,craigslist, and cars.com and found some pretty decent cars. I found some nice lookin non turbo cars. But Im aiming high...its turbo or nothing. Also saw some 240s mostly on craigslist and here on zilvia. A few weeks ago I found a nice s14 rhd with sr20 for $7600 on seattle craigslist. If I get a nice lhd 240 with a rb25 swap I'll be happy with that too.I just something clean and decent car thats trouble.Its gonna be a daily driver.
