You're right, I went off on some people too quick, but you know what ? I'm not gonna sit and have some douche that knows precisely dick about the NX2000 and it's SR20DE counterparts run his mouth pretending to know something about it. I'm sick of the people on this forum that just deny deny deny certain cars are faster, out- perform or whatever their Rx-7. You may not like the looks of something and you may hate piston motors or whatever it may be, but for people to be so ignorant as to speak from no experience, it's not cool to say the least. KhanArtist, I AM on here talking about a 16 second car, just like a lot of people on this forum are...and a 5.0 doesn't rule the drag strip, it rules the trailer park. I don't drag race that much and the reason I raced the truck is because it pulled up on me and the truck wasn't even close to stock....wanted to see what he was working with. Happened to be enough to destroy me. If you buy a mk3 GTI instead of a NX2000, you better be german or a woman, cuz they're complete turds ( excluding vr6). How is the RX-7 on a different level than my car ? Once again, my NX2000 is quicker, more rare, lighter, revs higher, gets better mileage, cheaper insurance, cheaper parts, easier to fix, better swap options, inexpensive to modify...Kinda sucks when a "sports car" loses to a "econo-box" doesn't it. So what level IS it on ? I know it's a cult followed sports car, but why is it better ? I'm NOT saying the NX is "better", I'm saying CERTAIN THINGS about it are better, top speed and acceleration being two of them. Like I said, I own a Rx-7 and several SR20DE powered cars...the SR's just happen to be faster. JDM Infini, I apologize about jumping to conclusions about what you said at 1st, I thought it was gonna be another "nx2000's suck" post. For you other guys....Denial doesn't add horsepower.

Wh1t3 C0m3t

i accept your apology, but from experience i can say that alough some things you say are true like easier to fix and mod and whatnot, i've found it hard to mod cuz there is a much more limited aftermarket than the 7, and easier repairs might be the case but i would throw in more repairs in that list, my nx was far less reliable than the 7...and thats sayin somethin. i'm not sure why you keep saying "sports car". teh nx is classified and a sports car as well, even my 1600. when i did the title transfer and everything it was listed as a sports car

holy ****. NO one is denying anything! I know about NX2000's, a local member has an SR20DET swapped one and I consiered buying one with a SR16V?? (some high revving 1.6) when I was in the market. I don't know about the NX2000 because theres absolutely nothing that seperates it from your average Honda or any other eco box. It runs 16s, its light, looks like **** exterior and interior, its FWD. Yes theres a lot of swaps that can be done, but why not just buy a damn Honda if you want a gutted POS FWD shitbox that runs OFMG14Z? Funny comment on the trailor park thing lol, it is the cheapest drag racing platform imo. I'd pick the Vdub because its more original, it looks better, has nicer interior, and I'm willing to bet it handles a hell of a lot better out of the box than a bucket *** NX2K. The RX7 is on a different level because its RWD, has 50/50 weight distribution, can come with LSD, Turbo, 4 pot brakes, looks a hell of a lot better than a stupid NX, WAAAY more fun to drive, and did I mention its RWD? Don't hate people who own REAL sports cars because they're willing to dedicate more to their hobby, I'll be starting school soon and currently work an entry level warehouse job and pay for my car myself. I couldn't care less about gas mileage, my insurance is already cheap as hell (3 cars for 1200/yr), parts for my RX7 are cheap as dirt (compared to my prev. Stealth R/T), its easy as hell to work on, and considering the factory 13BT motor can be built for power and reliability inexpensively (imo) I don't need to think about any other swaps...please dude, you might as well sell it and get a Honda. If I wanted a Nissan I'd get 240 coupe The NX does NOT rev higher than 8000 rpm, and NO its not quicker, in a straight line yes, but not by much. In the twisties? no conest. Maybe you understand now?

NX = average FWD eco box (light, quick, cheap, swappable)
RX = true sports car, RWD, somewhat cheap, RARE because its actually unique, not because its a POS

OMG....this is getting boring...now I know how it feels to just jump on someone's *** for coming here to talk good about another car cause trust me being the one jumped on sucks...lol...the other day I posted that I smoked my own 300zx n/a with my GTU in a 300zx forum and they jumped on my *** telling me how the 300zx is way better than an rx7, but I didnt say anything cause I own them both and like both of them.......well I like the rx7 a little better.....jeje

Hondaeat-R

Khan, you're really not bright at all are you? There is less than 3,000 NX2000's around today and they only made them for 3 years, thats what makes it rare...Wait a second...since we all know that a NX2000 is a re-bodied Se-r w/ bigger brakes, what do you have to say about the fact that the B13 Se-R's were in Car and Drivers Top Ten list for every year they made it (91-94)....?? Stop being a moron and saying it's a POS. A Honda Civic IS a econo-box, no power, not fast, good mileage, cheap and interchangeable parts. My car has LSD, 11 inch disc brakes, and it's your opinion that a Rx looks better. Go work your entry level warehouse job dude, tell you mom I said hi when you eat dinner w/ her. Once again, your "REAL sports car", is slower than my "economy car", get over it dude. You're like 12 years old and know **** about ****. MK3 VW gti's don't handle better, my GIRLFRIEND had one & they're junk just like I said. Go start your bright future picking some orders in a warehouse or something. You've got so much experience in the world bro, you just know it all. It's almost overwhelming, your knowledge that is. RXRolla, it sucks doesn't it ? Having people call you a liar or saying you're wrong WHEN YOU OWN BOTH CARS THAT ARE BEING COMPARED. Khan, get in your One Piece Pajamas and go watch TeleTubbies. 'Night lil buddy.

PS: a SR16VE is a VVL engine, like Vtec or VVTi. Stands for Variable Valve Lift. KHAN ...Look how you contradict yourself. I'll quote ya here.

"I know about NX2000's, a local member has an SR20DET swapped one and I consiered buying one with a SR16V?? (some high revving 1.6) when I was in the market. I don't know about the NX2000 because theres absolutely nothing that seperates it from your average Honda or any other eco box."

So do you know about them, or don't you ? Get back to me on that one. Later pal

Hondaeat-R

Good, thank you. The Ga16de is waaaay less reliable than the SR20DE, that's why you had issues w/ that. And there is a endless supply of aftermarket parts for the NX2000/ sr20de, but almost none for the GA16de, remember we're talking about 2 very different engines. The NX is listed as Sport Compact

the way a car is listed will vary from state to state

OMGOMGOMF I DUNNO **** ABOUT ****! I love how you didn't even reply to everything I said in my post. For the record I said SR16VE with question marks, meaning I didn't know exactly what it was called and I was fully aware that it had variable valve lift, thats why I said it was a high revving 1.6 liter, similar to a B16A from an SI. Just like a Honda. If I cared about shitbox NX2000's, I might have researched about them but I don't. All I saw was a car being sold on my message board by someone as retarded as yourself who bought a shitbox and did a swap and was loosing money when it didn't even run right.

btw if you wanna talk about quoting...

OMG! DUDE DO IT, BUY MY PLANE TICKET1!! Hahaha...******* clown. Has it occured to you that I just might find it entertaining how big of a self destructive little ****-up you are and take advantage of it? btw you were wrong both times, I'm 18 son <3

Hondaeat-R

You're funny. Khan, are you 18 in like 5 months, that sort of thing ? :0) haha Do you have a license ?... and UMI45, I care, and you shouldn't chime in on things you're no part of. I'm responding to previous posts. If you were bothered the way that a few have done to me, you'd be writing something also. Niburu, I've personally had 1 of my NX's and my Se-r up to 140. Thats it, wouldn't go any faster at all. My other one NX I would never push too hard, it's in far worse shape mechanically. Oh by the way, I just found this. *Search Wikipedia for "Nissan NX", you'll find this...."The NX2000, with its light weight, stiff chassis, and limited-slip differential, was considered one of the best-handling front-wheel-drive cars of the time. In 1992, Road & Track magazine included the NX2000 in a test of the world's best handling cars against such competition as the Acura NSX, Porsche 911, Nissan 300ZX, Mazda Miata, and Lotus Elan." Hmm, sounds like it still handles pretty good...is the RX-7 in that list ? I don't see it. Oh and Khan..who's a little self destructive ****-up ? I apologized for threatening you, and that's all i'll apologize to you about. I'm a **** up ? In college for Industrial Engineering, working full time as an Electro Mechanical Technician ? Using Solid State, Auto Cad, 3d Printers, oscilloscopes, vacuum metal sputtering systems...you're a dumb person. No big deal.
Here, now you'll just know about it.

About 50mph... 55 might be possible with all the bolt-ons.

niburu

iTrader: (1)

most likey because there was no such thing as a '92 RX-7 to get for the test

XxMerlinxX

iTrader: (2)

Buuuuullshit! My '00 Celica GT-S topped out at 142 and it had 40 more hp plus VVTL-i. The only way you made it to 140 was if you dropped it out of a plane.

Edited to add you can save the *** jokes, post up something informative with facts if you're going to post up at all. Other than "I gutted the car to the point that I drove around sitting on a bucket" or "Brian Spilner had 2 nos tanks, I had 3!!!", you can't really post much that would make me believe you hit 140.

LOL dude please, just stop. First you said I was 18, then 12, then 18 in a few months, wtf? Don't talk to me about age either, if anything its sad that you're older than me and are threatening me over the internet, hahaha. Then you tell me how smart you are when you can't do simple math and figure out my age and make spelling errors in your posts. You sure as hell don't know **** about RX7s because FC's weren't made in 92. Its OK just compare it to an FD man The RX7 will never lose, it was easily the all around best sports car ever built and nothing can come close to its beastliness. That is all.

Thats cool, but speak for yourself

niburu

iTrader: (1)

it all depends on what the gearing allows, I've pushed my NA FC past 140 a couple of times, haven't maxed it out yet - tooo scarey

The FD's are limited to the upper 150's because of the stock gear ratios, certainly not because of power issues

XxMerlinxX

iTrader: (2)

140hp car riding on 14's is NOT going to make it to 140, no matter what the gearing is.

RockLobster

iTrader: (7)

You're right about that

NX 2000, 140 HP @ 6000 RPM

S4 N/A RX7, 146 HP @ 6500 RPM

S5 N/A RX7, 160 @ 7000 RPM

And before you go off half cocked, i know the sevens are heavier. But how much more aero drag does the bubbly NX have? My point was coming off a corner onto the main straight of any track, doing the same speed, ill bet a N/A seven pulls on an NX2000 into turn one.

Im sure your car is a quick little car, and its probably alot of fun. Good bang for the buck. Have fun with the stuff you got.

**** dude, my car is a turbo and Ill get walked by just about every v8 mustang fron 0-60, but ive chased down alot of cobra stangs on the track.

On the weight note, Ive also kept pace with a lot of much lighter cars, like the new elises for one. Ive passed a few of those....

[EDIT] hmmm actually.....

Power to weight ratios:
S5 N/A = 2800/160 = 17.50
NX2000 = 2461/140 = 17.58

PS. Lower is better...

Must be the low end torque advantage that makes the 0-60 time go the other way....
So about that rolling start?

In all seriousness though I never knew NX's were only 2500 lbs and had LSD, I wonder why they didn't sell so good. With a cheap boosted KA motor dropped in and some suspension mods it could probably be a lot fun for not much $. FWD is just not my thing though, scary oversteer, understeer, wheel hop, tire wear, wheel spin coming out of hills, etc. etc. Just hard to take you seriously when your name is hondaeater and you drive 16 second NX's, even if your car was built for the twisties it would be stupid. Of course you didn't help by racing a truck and posting about it, or by threatening me through the internet lol.

Appearence, the styling is nothing that would appeal to most Americans, the Sentra's sold like hotcakes
almost all of that would be counter acted by the LSD

Hondaeat-R

Khan , I don't care how old you are, I was just guessing every time I said your age. My grammar is far better than yours also :0) And why would I put a boosted KA in it ?
Is that an attempt at humor ? Ever heard of a silvia or Pulsar GTI-R ? yea, Det not Ket. Rock lobster, thanks for the info, really. But it sucks that even w/ less HP the NX2000 is faster..:0) Merlin, I've hit 140 more than once..do some more research. hahahah, and a celica gt-s won't do 142, hahaha that's funny. have i mentioned that they lose too, extra 40 hp & all., muah.
