Well I am contimplating purchasing a 2006 350Z Enthusiast 6MT. Now the horrible debate going through my mind is wethere or not to sell my 95 S14. I really love my car. Had it for about 5yrs now (before the drifting craze...just a side note ) I put in a lot of hours, tears, and even some blood into this car! Its a base, no ABS/TCS...none of it, just me and the car. Mostly suspension/footwork mods done to the car. The question for me is, should I sell it in order to put a larger down payment, or keep it for dedicated track car/beater daily driver. The problem with being a dedicated track car would be the funds. I wouldn't have efficient funds to mod both the 350Z and S14, its gotta be either or. Without selling it, I could probably put around $4k down. There is also the insurance ordeal too. Insure both or just the Z. This is my decision, but would like to hear some opinions nonetheless! I would really love to keep it in the Nissan family. YAY!

Here are some pics of my S14. No SR20, stock KA w/230,000 miles!! Freggin Nissan eh?







BTW: New to this board, but not the family!

 

welcome... i think i've seen you posting alot on zilvia before when i was on there too... had a clean kouki s14 before the drifting craze as well... sold it for $13000. probably better off selling it than trying to survive just to keep it along with the Z. also mods for the Z are 3 times moer than modding an s14 so put that into consideration.... here's a pic of my baby before i sold her...

 

Haha! Yes was on zlivia many time before, dont post too much there anymore. My handle was "kanekz". So how do you feel about it after selling the S14. Miss it, regret it, love the Z?

BTW: MMMMM sweet kouki you had.

yea man had is the word... miss it sometimes, but as soon as i get inside my Z and drive off in a highway i completely forget about it... the Z is built to go tirple digits man and it doesnt flich a bit unlike the s14s

 

Yea, once you start going into some higher speed bends/sweepers, it tends to feel a lil "twitchy". A little unnerving, but thats when the driver must compensate. Im sure the Z feels mutch more stable.

Please other Z owners feel free to chime in.

 

i know rite! c'mon guys tell this man he is not making a huge compromise... honestly though besides driver's skill the Z is a class above the silvias ( feel so horrible saying that) but it was engineered to go much faster nonetheless a car made just for racing/spirited driving, ie. supras, skylines etc..
