Hey all,

I've recently fallen in love with the targa roof driving around in my mate's nissan NX

A ha! The mighty NX (Exa) cars! The sunroof in mine is one of the things I really like about it. That and the fact that it's an incredibly weird looking car.

Forget the exa, NX beats it all the way

They are wierd! I had a 91. No sunroof but I just couldn't get past that shape!

yeah its a pretty sweet looking car. when we drive in dads car it gets all the stares. its really cool. the only time i have ever been in his car and not had it stared at is when we were driving behind jason, and a lambo today (DROOL!!!!!!!!). his car is one awesome machine.

Tom.

On the topic of the NX, a mate has just bought a NXR that's had a SR20DET conversion. It's currently spitting out 160kW @ wheels, and he's aiming for around 200 eventually.

yer they arn't a bad car considering they are sr20de have a normal 90s nissan interior, IE a little bland, but the NXrs come with targa, and ABS, and with the 5spd they go surprisingly well, i just don;t like the look of the front lights, a mate of mine has one goes pretty well, but its not a turbo...

datto-Zed: 200fwkw is going to be fun trying to find some traction while on boost, without braking gearboxes and joints....

By the way for those here with an NX there's a Australian site for those cars at nissanexa.com

Hell yeah. There's no comparison between an e16 and an sr20de. Nissan gave the b13 NX a much better engine. The best you can do for a first generation model is the e15et. All 3 generations of these cars are weird looking though. I think that's why I always liked them so much. Though they don't have anything on a Z car obviously.

Quite right there! It'll be a torque steering monster.

The that's building it though, he's pretty experienced with such things, so I'm pretty sure he researched it all well and know what will be required to make it reliable at those power levels.

Mine had a GA16DE with a 5 spd. Better than a E16 but no match for the SR20DE/DET. I had a Jim Wolf intake on mine with the 96 Sentra cams, a tricked out ECU and a header. Ran pretty good. The price was right ($800US) at the auction and I put maybe $600 more into it in parts and work but I'm just not a FWD type of guy. Sold it for $2800!

Better chime in again - brother's has a CA18 but wants an SR20DET swap (I think most Exa owners do). I think it will have to wait a while after this recent woopsy-daisey:

Maybe time to change the name of this post, I keep looking at it expecting Sunroof/Targa comments. Not that it's not interesting, but....
