Best Jap Nutter Car?

[Funkadelic]

What would you say is the best Jap nutter car you could possibly have?

Skyline GTR/GTS-T?

Supra Twin Turbo?

RX7?

Silva S14?

And so on...

Personally, I reckon it's got to be the MR2.

As far as I can think, nothing, and I mean nothing, oversteers like an MR2.

Add to that a nicely tunable GTST engine and surely you have the ultimate Jap nutter car right there?

RX7

2.6 twin turbo 280bhp rwd and 11mpg I love em and will probably get one at some point

[EircamAE86]

AE86 20valve turbo

[jaxx]

id say the rx7 too, weighs nowt, rear drive, goes like you-know-what off a shiney shovel, revs to the moon! and id own aswell anyday!

although all of th top end manf jap cars are nuts in their own special ways

ie skyline,supra,rx etc etc...

who else can force that amount of power out of such a small displacement!

[Leeky]

For me its gotta be a mixture of something powerful, rare, desirable and high tech. Non-one will ever see one but my favourite jap car is the Jiotto Caspita.

NSX .. job done ..

NSX for me too would love one of the new limited ones:

Got this through the other day:

NSX Type-R

It has never before appeared at a British Show, but there’s good reason why the NSX Type-R is being displayed at Birmingham. This will all become clear, following an important announcement to be made on press day…

The NSX-R represents a further evolution of the painstaking weight reduction, circuit-tuned suspension refinement, and high-precision engine balancing cultivated in the previous-generation NSX-R produced during 1992-1995. Newly developed aerodynamic devices further enhance high-speed performance, resulting in greater driving performance and handling stability than in its previous incarnation.

A carbon fibre hood with outlet duct, finned front under-cover, rear diffuser, carbon fibre rear spoiler, and other innovations create a degree of negative lift rarely seen in a street-ready car. This downforce facilitates a quantum leap in the car's driving performance and handling stability at high speeds.

Racecar-like responsiveness and powerful acceleration are achieved through high-precision balancing of the crankshaft assembly – a measure unheard of in production engines – along with a "shorter" final gear ratio, DBW (Drive By Wire) electronic throttle control, and other specialised tuning.

The suspension has been hard-tuned to cope with the added downforce, and custom-designed high-grip tyres, precision custom chassis tuning, and ventilated brake discs with harder brake pads for potent stopping power have been added.

Other features unique to the NSX-R include a custom ball-shaped titanium shift knob and lightweight mesh shift boot, leather-wrapped Momo steering wheel, Recaro carbon fibre Aramid full-bucket seats with leather upholstery and a shift indicator with LEDs to indicate the engine’s power peak and rev limit.

The model will be available exclusively in Championship White

Me want me want on now

the NSX is a proper race car for the road .. everything is light weight and for performance .. just needs an SC ..

[starletsy]

Yeah supercar with jap build quality and reliability Also uber rare which is nice

[Funkadelic]

Would love an NSX.

It's still on my shopping list.

Manuals seem quite tricky to find though. :(

It's not about rocking an automatic sports car.

[Tardis]

Skyline only because it's the only one I've driven of this list - used to own a 300ZXTT but the Skyline had much better grip/cornering.

[Jimlad]

wouldn't mind a RX7, but the whole " engine rebuild " thing puts me right off.

wouldn't mind a RX7, but the whole " engine rebuild " thing puts me right off.

and it is extremely expensive!

......the NSX! how could i forget that!

[pizza boy]

Nah it has to be a turbo....has to be S15 for me for pure chuckability,tuning/+styling potential,rarity,looks and reliability. No.1 car in drift championships in Japan.

love the 22B my self but this is summit else
