I'm still planning to get a Z, got a little mod list to go with it too, keeping it clean and doing the usual easy mods (cai, decat, alloys, ice, maybe chip).

 

However sitting on here for a few months ive learned that the Z isnt a reliable car, and probably isnt suited to regular track use (without large expense).

 

I've never been to a track day, but its something i want to do this year or next, and I've been thinking about what car to use. The 200SX looks like a good bet, as well as a lightened 16v golf mk2 (i like golfs :D).

 

Any other recommendations? maybe a few k to buy, and relatively low running costs, maybe something i can use as a daily driver too if poss.

 

Cheers in advance :D

I'm sure John Dixon will agree.

You're not kidding. And if you want an Mi16 engine put in I know a man that's done a few ;)

Damn stright!!!!

 

Or anything RWD for the fun. Capri, manta etc

You need to decide FWD, RWD, or AWD, and whether or not you want limited-slip diffs - cos all of those make a major difference to the way the car behaves on the limit and the way you get it around corners fast. That might help you decided 205 vs Silvia...

 

I think the Z is too heavy for the track, aside from any other considerations!
