Hows it going guys I am just trying to learn as much as I can about the car before I go out and grab one. I have my heart set on one, but I don't know witch I should be looking for newer body or the tolder? witch is better? I know I can get an older one for cheap, but damn I love the look of the newer one. Anything you guys could say to make me go either way? Thanks.

 

Hey im going through the same thing man. But i think I'm going to go with an earlier year because If i want to get a body kit later on the upgrade to 1997 will be a total waste. The only thing i think ill miss on the 1997 is the lights. The 95 96 lights are hella gay. They definately arent the clear slick lights on the 97. I think its mainly up to you though. But jsut think about the 4,000 you will save getting the lower end of the car. Besides dont all of us get 240sx to cover them into some kind of silvia or freaking skyline hahaha i know i do

 

S13's are cheaper, lighter, and have stiffer suspension. S14's are more expensive, heavier, and have stiffer a chassis.

 

Nah.... the 180sx is better.

 

Thanks for the input...I'll mostlikely get the older body style. just because of the cost. and it will let me save up for my SE20DET motor quicker...

 

i prefer a somewhat of a sleeper car, 180sx is perfect.

 

I love my 96, but I kind of wish I got an s13 so that I could have more money to put into it, but oh well I guess I will just have to start working harder. Oh and I like the 95, 96 lights jkfresh.

 

Man its not even about preferences when we talk about the lights on a 240sx models. Its like do you want cool clear lights on or like lights that look like someone jizzed on them
there so damn unclear. Hahah nah im jp opinions are opinions.

Hey guys im hella dumb right... can you translate s13 s14
into models numbers i can understand

cause im unsure of what those are like 240sx 1996 or like 180sx seriously i know thats newbie and its prolly some engine number in those cars but i need that clearified

 

S13 = '89-'94
S14 = '95-'98
180sx = Japanese version of the S13 240sx hatch w/ either the CA18DET or SR20DET engines. Production ran from '88-'98.

 

obviously i prefer the s13, one of the funnest cars to drive i've ever been in

 

i've owned both s13 and s14...
one thing i don't like about s13...is the interior room...
s14 is lot more comfortable inside...
