Any Z owners move up from a 240sx?
Just curious if anybody on here jumped from an S14 or S13 to a Z. I owned 3 S14's . Last Zenki i owned had just about any mod done to it as far as suspension exhaust and engine. All bolt ons available for the S14SR.
I cant help but miss it badly from time to time. Several times i was badly tempted to get an S14...start over(yet again). Z keeps me happy but lack of turbo, ease of getting to EVERYTHING and lack of feel of a small car kills me sometimes.
What's worse is i feel like Z is a "status display" car even though we all know its not. People approach me totally different now from when i had my Zenki. Which i like but it feels wierd and not in a good way. Anybody get that?

there's a bunch of people including my friends. They had s13s though. It's funny. They use to tell me that my car is heavy, parts are too pricey, yada yada, and now all they do is brag about their 350zs.

i went from a z32 to a s14 and now to z33... i do miss the s14, and i agree with u with the z33 giving off a status display, where as with the s14 ppl came up to me with compliments that actually knew about cars and modding.

. plus having 2 cars is not that nice in my opinion. you cant divide love between 2 cars and and cant drive both cars at same time sooo why even have a car if you don't get to enjoy the drive every day right? what really gets me is my z keeps falling and falling in price but damn S14's stay the same. Since 05 when i got in to s14's they did not come down a bit if not go up in value...my z on the other hand
i understand why, it still hurts like a kick in the nuts

How ironic. Ive been looking for an S14 for quite some time. Yes, its hard to find a clean one that hasn't been beaten up. Maybe when I get everything I want for the expensive Z, then I'll just pick up the next clean S14 available for a project on the side.
