Rotary Drive Power

350z vs S2000 vs Rx8 vs TT?

So, I'm considering on getting a new car for my senior year and have been saving up some money for a big down payment and have a steady income for financing. I've been considering the cars listed in the title but if anyone knows of any better I'll definitely consider others.

So, the 350z has the most power, but the Honda S2000 is the most fun to drive from what I gather. The Mazda Rx8 was my top choice for a while but kind of started slacking due to the rotary engine and it's expensive upkeep every few months. The Audi TT kind of just popped in my head so I decided to throw that on the list.

All opinions are wanted, I don't want to buy a car and regret that it has some big negatives like say, expensive upkeeps, often breaking down, rough riding, etc. So any help on it is appreciated. The cars will be in the year range 2002-2005 or so due to a 12k (and hopefully under) budget.

The 350Z and the S2000 are both pretty much bullet proof. You've already objected to the Mazda, so I'll skip to the Audi. ALL recent Audi's are sweet driving cars, but, like all European cars, are expensive to fix, period. There are no exceptions to this that I have encountered in 23 years in the car business.

The personality of the 350Z is very different from the S2000. The S2000 loves to rev, and some people like the sound and fury, while the Z makes its power from a bigger displacement. If you are comparing a roadster to a roadster, and not considering a coupe, either might satisfy. Finding a 350Z roadster in your price range may be a challenge (introduced in '04).

On a twisty road, the Honda will probably spank the Nissan. At the dragstrip, the Nissan will prevail.

All of the cars you mention are subject to the personality of the previous owner. If the car has been thrashed by weekends at the track, look out! If the car has been a weekend plaything, and garaged the rest of the time, which is quite common for the Honda, then you will get a sweet ride either way. But, to be sure, have the one you land on checked carefully by a reputable mechanic.

Rotary Attachment

Could someone describe the electical input signal for swiming pool valves actuators ?

Hi, I d like to know the electronic input signal characteristics to drive a simple 24V or 12 V AC rotary valves actuator.
I haven't been able to find detailed specs of the input signals for actuators. Usually the control input signals consist of a 3 wire set.
I guess one is power, and the other 2 are controls..but how does it work ? What would be the other signal to run the valves clockwise and then anti-clockwise ?
Thanks for your help or any comments.

Assuming that there is no control signals to drive the valve actuators since you have mentioned 24/12v rotary valves. Here I believe is that one wire is the ground and other two positive and negative which will be interchanged in such a way that in one position valve opens and in the other position the polarities are reversed and valve closes. I could be wrong also.
