    LOL you dont have to keep chiming in if it bores you that much. I would love to run a car like yours when you get your 2.0L done. Would be a good time...o yea mine Is a 2.0L all ready another point for nissan...lol

    I kid. I love the e30 thats why im here. Check my join date ive been here awhile so I must like them a little. I love my se-r just like anyone that has held onto a car for 21 years. Its family now. Ill have a e30 soon enough. I love RWD just as much as the next but at the time this was a better car for me and it stil is a blast.

    Thank you and your right. Most are not old enough to remember that this car was faster then a IROC and 5.0 stang in 91 and wasnt a far cry behind a vette. Even without it being lowered the car is a absolute blast to drive.

    Here is another nissan guy wringing his out on track...notice its about stock height and i gurantee he has forgotten more about suspensions then most of us will know. Its Dave Coleman from sport compact car fame.

    Always liked reading that guys editorials.

    Nice looking car, I searched for awhile for one of those but couldn't find one clean enough for a decent price. I drove a supercharged SVT Focus for 7 years, FWD may not be the choice of performance cars but a well sorted FWD can be an absolute blast. My SVT was easily more toss-able and responsive than my E30 currently is.

    I loved my 91 SE-R and had a bunch of bolt on NA mods to it. Jim Wolf ECU, headers, CAI, underdrives, NX2000 brakes, Kosei K1's... The car had great seats, good reliability and economy. Sometimes regret selling it but that was when I knew less about cars.

    There was a comparison article in Car and Driver I think between one of these and a 91 325is. The Nissan got a great review and they said that the E30 had marginally better at limit handling feel but overall rated the Sentra as way better bang for the buck. They said the only thing the Senta lacked was an expensive hood emblem :)

    These days my stable (in the family at least), we own 2 E30's and a newly acquired nearly rust free E28 535i for $1200 so I guess I made my decision about what I like the most which is solid German tank like construction over 90's front drivers. Oh yeah I do like Chevy V8's as well.

    That looks in great shape. Those are great cars for their time. Not very many people now how great they are. The SR motor is a fantastic motor.
    FWD does not mean slow on a road course. If you know how it works you can do quite well. (EX: NASA Spec races and Touring cars) In a matter of fact, my car beats most RWD in tight and fast Autox courses. The only ones that generally beat my times are Miatas and S2Ks Subarus, and Evos. (depending on the drivers of course). In a matter of fact, I have more fun with my car then RWD cars. I can get sideways too :).
    Agreed i have done auto-x and HPDE and track days and The only cars that beat me outdo me in power. I have taken down evos in auto-x but i agree its the driver because a evo or STI walks on me. My buddy has a b13 with dam near 500whp. But its a sr20ve and its boosted

    If I was buying a new car in '91, no doubt about it, it would have been a VW GTI. Have you driven a 16v mk2 GTI OP?
    Yep i actally owned one bought it with 10k miles on it in 94. Biggest shit box i ever owned. Loved the styling but needed constant work and i love my SR more then the 16v just personal preference

    Beautiful car man, a 95' Maxima was my first car and that thing was a blast to drive! I wouldn't be caught going under 60 in that car anywhere..

    That 318 is clean, can't wait for my girl to be that clean. Also that is the first 318 I like the rear spoiler in black, I'm planning on doing that but every time I see one like that it looks weird. Now I feel better.
