Message I am pretty happy with my Hankook Ventus and the Khumos I had before that only run $70 each (also depends where you get them). To maintain an NA is very easy, change the oil every 3000 miles, and do the 60K. If you go turbo, the kick in the pants is much nicer, but there are more things that can go wrong. I haven't had to touch anything on the engine yet and my car has 141,000 miles on it. I bought the car at 96,000 with the 120k done at 94k. The guy I bought it from was the original owner and his brother worked for Nissan as a mechanic.

Recomendations on my end:
94 or 95 NA or TT 5spd.
Trust me on the 5spd.
Some 94's I believe have the better injectors, but all 95's have them. I have a 94 NA and I believe I have the good ones as they have never been replaced and they give me no trouble (too lazy to care or check). I have never thrown an ECU code with it either. If you don't think injectors are a big deal, than i guess 90-95 would be good, but it does get expensive if they do go. The 96's are newer, thats pretty much all it has going for it (my opinion).

good luck buying. And if you get a TT, get a turbo timer installed, it can lengthen the life of your turbos and they are relatively inexpensive.
