The 240sx coupe is the American version of the Japanese s13 Silvia. The Silvia has several differences, including RHD, engine, and front end. The s14 Silvia is the same as the American 1995-1998 240sx with some changes like RHD and the engine. Skylines are a totally different car.

actually you need to get that straight. a ford butt probe is fords best attempt at making sumthing like a 240. too bad it sucks and they didnt make it rear wheel drive stupid *** dragger car. the two dont even compair.
