I'm buying a 91 Nissan SE-R for a auto-x /track car, and while searching a se-r forum, I came across this. Pretty cool.

the guys on that board seem pretty kool.....atleast they arent knocking the R, just respecting it.....not like its the god of cars but the R is a great car....i love mine....and the guys on that board get

 

SER guys sound like cool people to hang out with... very mature and positive


tj

 

Yeah, well, the Type-R is okay I guess....

I mean, not good enough for the likes of Vegetta (Mr. M3 son of a...but I'm ranting, excuse me)....but I love the car. I feel it's a great beginners sports car if not a good intermediate one. It's not so powerful that you become over confident of your owns skills (i.e. Z06 owners, first time at the track and they think they are the **** in terms of driving ability because they blew by you).

 

good to see

 

 

Umm... excuse me, you have an ITR. Your ITR would be a terrific choice to be used as your auto-x/track car. The SE-R would make a nice daily driver.

 

lol. I was waiting for that. I'm going to race the R too, but I want something I beat on and not worry about what-if's. If I blow the engine in the se-r its $300 to get another one. If I wreck it, I'm only paying half for the car(going in with a friend), so I'm only out $900. Just something to get my feet wet in racing.

 

One thing the Type R crowd and the SE-R crowd have in common is a high ratio of SCCA guys and a low ratio of ricers.

 

well said patrick ..yeah they do seem like good mature car owners... haha

 

Se-R guys art pretty cool to hang out with. and SE-R's stripped out and tuned make sweet AutoX cars lol.

 

Here's the best quote (hope they don't mind). Anyone contemplating even TOUCHING the suspension should consider what is said below:

That's funny...

I just spent another weekend instructing in 2 more Type Rs. Not only are they absolutely brilliant from the factory, I've determined that many owners attempting to improve their R only hurt it. My intermediate students stock R felt better balanced to me than my novice students R with coilovers. I got to drive both for a few laps in their 1st session to familiarlize them with the track. I liked the stock one better.

Zeal B2's 12k/8k with falken azenis vs. stock suspensin with RE730's and the second setup felt better at VIR. Damn i guess i wasted a lot of money, because the first car is mine, the second is Floyds. I guess it is just a matter of preference. I really like the B2's vs. the stock suspension(don't get me wrong the stock suspension is great) Although, Matt (are instructor) has plenty more experience than me on the track and he knows his stuff.

 

And the same goes for the original SE-R. Those things absolutely rocked in autox when they hit.

 

I have to disagree with this. Stock suspension is great, but falls short when you start to push the car's limits. I am pretty sure that if you decide to go with either of the Mugen kits, the car will handle/corner even better.
