S14 in old Best Motoring video

[teamcapsule]

I just watched an old 1995 Best Motoring video that I have at home... and they compared all sorts of FR cars like the Porsche 966 vs Toyota Supra RZ vs Mazda RX7 vs Nissan S14 K's Type S... All stock standard.

And guess what? The S14 came out worst of all the cars... very poor handling, etc... they guy didn't even want to talk about it, because it's so bad...

And he's supposed to be one of the best drivers in Japan!

Kind of a bummer innit?

But then an S14 tuned by ZEEK (310bhp) kicked all of their #sses... wohooo!

K's is King's version (turbo)
Q's is Queen's version (N/A)
J's is Jack's version I think, stripped down Q's version meant for racing.

So I guess King's the king!

Yep the K's is better. The Q's & J's are normally aspirated.

Yep. That's how I understand the pack of cards analogy.

No disputing the std. S14 suspension is too soft. Take it through an S bend at over 100 on a country road and you're in serious **** if you aren't concentrating more on the back wheels than the road infront http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif

Overtook someone in the peaks round the outside of some bend a while back, just after it had started raining. Pulled back into the right side of the road, suspension took up a little bit... and all of a sudden I found my hands pointing off the side of the hill trying to keep myself from going into a big boulder. Just about managed it, but harder suspension would have made things a load less risky.
Not that I wasn't driving like a total ****** at the time, but what's the fun in driving normally.
