What a coincident. I used to have a Z32 1990 5 speed NA and switched to a 98 SE 5 spd.
You are right, the Z32 cost a lot of money on maintance. I rebuild my drive shaft due to the vibration (pretty bad) for 4 times and it still go bad after a few months. So, I just got rid of the Z recently. ;(
Was thinking on the new Z but I ended up getting my 98 5 spd instead for $6500.
Both of my nissan are equipped with stock rim, shocks and suspension ( I am looking for a nice rim for my SE right now). I think the SE is much easier car to drift compare to the Z. It goes pretty wild and scary if you get a fish tail with the Z.
LE is stand for leather edition, which comes with leather seat. It is top of the line.
The other different for SE is that it comes with fog light and white odometer reading.
Oh, my 98 doesn't come with ABS nor LSD. Would you guys recommand to come with the ABS???
