Hi all!!!

As Im from the UK, there is a shortage of "propper" info on various Jap cars!!

Can someone please tell me what the words "KOUKI","ZENKI" etc stand for when talking about 240s and 180s etc cause its driving me nuts??

Thanks all!!!

 

ok here it goes someone correct me if im wrong but im gonna take a stab at this one. ZENKI, CHUKI, and KOUKI refer to the models of 240/180sx. i listed the years and models below.

89-90 zenki
91-94 chuki
95-98 kouki

hope i got that right.

 

That is for S13s.

For S14s, it is:

95-96 Zenki
97-98 Kouki

 

welcome, my good chap. to add to what's already been said:

"zenki" = first or beginning
"chuki" = middle
"kouki" = last

so, when speaking of the various models, those words would be used to denote different iterations of the same generation vehicle.

btw, in case u didn't know, the S?? refers to the chassis code of each generation:

S13 Silvia/180SX/200SX/240SX = 89-94 (except the Japanese 180SX which was produced until 98)
S14 Silvia/200SX/240SX = 95-98
S15 Silvia/200SX = 99-0?

hope this helps!

 

Ideal! Thanks people!!

 

well they got to it before i could lol
