hello
i'm looking to buy a FR car, my options are s13 240sx, NA FC, maita
i'm liking the FC cos it's more unique, but i heardr eliabbiltiy problems with turbo rotaries? how about the na ones?
what's is their modability?
n how fast can these na fc get?
i dun need it to be super fast, just as fast as a stock integra type r will be fine
i also like the 240sx cos of their styling...i mean they are quite gorgeous even stock. but i will not have money to put in turbo or swap in the sr20det, n i heard they are quite slow in na form
anyways...pls enlighten me about na FCs n their options
things i should look for
tia

 

i would go for either the FC or s13. i like both of the cars b/c they are sporty and RWD
the NA FCs are fairly reliable, but the nissan is like a rock
as far as speed goes they are similar. a friend of mine has a 91 s13 and its got a lot of mods on it. we would be about even whenever we raced.

as far as reliablility-i have two examples
his 91 nissan engine blew up at 150,000 miles... would have lasted him a lot longer, but he was messin around w/ the timing too much
my 89 NA FC's engine blew up at 85,000, they should last longer but i think mine was neglected and dawged out
the FC will probably need a little more attention too

good luck

 

In my opinion the FC just looks bad ***. It's sleek and very sporty looking. If you want a drag racer, buy a Turbo. but the non-turbo will be a great cruising car that can still hold it's own on the streets when properly modded. As far as reliability, my non-turbo has over 100,000 miles and runs VERY strong.
