I'm not a big fan of poll, but would like to see what other think.

1 - S13 http://www.carolinanissans.com...26746

2 - s14 http://www.carolinanissans.com...20401

3 - s14.5 http://www.carolinanissans.com...20969

4 - GSR http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/...false

I have the money to cover all car listed, I just can't decide or should I wait til better deal show up, the GSR is not a joke, it looks clean and well maintain and I probably can get him to bring the price down a bit.

GSR for value and why not.... spend the extra cash on sick VTEC mods! (unless its non-vtec)so you currently own a 240?

240 crowd really abuse their cars... as seen in the pics of the purple car... hard to believe a "never drifted or driven hard" description on any 240 these days, even A/Ts....

sil-80s are dumb. how can you ask a nissan forum to choose between an acura and a nissan? the sil80 looks clean but beaten if its a drifter. the s14.5 will seperate you from the croud a little. go with s14.5. you will get better results if you post pics instead links to links for a single pic.

Yea.. but I don't have much time to build a car, I don't even want a project car and that's the reason I sold my s13, I just want something I can have fun driving in after work and maybe take it to the track on the weekend.

And I give you all the links so you can read the info not just judge it by pic?

i agree. well not quite ghey but you get more satisfaction when you build it yourself. i'd go with the s13. that thing is sex you'd get so many looks driving that on the road

in that case id go for the s13 or the teg. my first choice is teh s14 though. the s13 and s14.5 are TOO modded. not only does that mean they're most likely driven hard (not to say the other cars aren't) and if you do decided to modify them down the to make them more your own, theres nothing left too do. the s14.5 and the s13 both have motor work, suspension work, body work, etc.

with the s14, its stock bodied, very clean and has a very basic sr swap. theres still plenty of little things you could change down the road to make it more your own and heighten enjoyment.

I know this really doesn't hep but I'd get a car that hasn't been driven hard or that hasn't been moded so it's reliable and you can mod it the way you want to. but that's just me.

nice and if that's the real engine pic, then got for that. less rust on a newer car. In the Carolina area which doesn't have too bad of winter if her ever drove it during the winter.

and I agree that buying a built car is taking the fun out of it. but its not a bad idea either, track sluts need love too. besides look at that a$$

If it was me, I would go with the white S14. It is very clean and smokes a SR20DET. That's just me and it's your money.

Personally i would go with the s14.....

s13......very nice .....only prob is its already been done with looks to personalize it would cost more money to make everything match (color and sticker or no sticker) nice car tho

s14......i have one not nearly as nice.. but car is perfect to drive and have fun >>..sleepers rule........also if you want to personalize it would be very easy platform to star...

s14.5........looks good but not really fond of s15 conversions......too many people do them.....over populated.

gsr......glad you decided to take this one out of the picture..since you are on the nissan website...not to bad of a car but c'mon its a gsr....

but then its not my money so just pick your fav....and you'll be happy

good luck with which ever you decide all nice cars

Seriously dont be a p**** and buy a built car. When people are gonna ask you what kinda mods you did to your car, you'll sound like a really small pen15 if you say "i dunno bought it that way" or "dhuurrr i dunno dhurrrr"

I know its tough to find a very stock 240 but sometimes it takes patience. Ive been looking since July, only seriously looking until about 3 months ago and I still havnt bought one (mind you im getting one inspected on monday). Go to craigslist and other sites as well. There are deals out there just gotta keep your eyes peeled and jump on one at the right time.
