Well there will be a lot of people on here who are much qualified than I to answer your question. AFIK, between a DOHC S13 and DOHC S14, it's going to mostly be preference. I know the S14 has a slightly better weight balance, but that's all I can think of.

And S14's are newer which usually means less mileage/wear on the body. S13 is lighter (obviously)... S14 = sex (obviously )

 

And boom goes the dynamite ^_^

 

i had sex in both of them... so they are good.

 

JIZZED IN MY PANTS!

so thers really not oo much different between the two, is there something i should be looking for in the cars?

usmc drifter whats your mos?

A grunt huh?

My MOS was 3043, but I spent very little time in a warehouse . . . .

 

s13 are more prone to rust then s14's.
A very high percentage of s13 have some rust on it very little s14's have rust, it must be the way the treated the steel on the newer models.

 

no not much difference, but there are a few differences, what do you plan on doing with your car? road race, autox, show, drift, dd, etc....?

 

He plans on having sex with it . . .

 

Depending on your plans, I'd say its all a matter of taste and being willing to wait for a deal. I recently picked up a 93 Coupe shell and blown motor for $800. The whole car is rust free, but then I spent a few months looking for a car as I was saving up. Don't forget that the silvia conversion is a popular one on the S13, so if you're going by looks it is between the S13 Coupe, the S13 Silvia, and the S14.

As for the technical stuff, other than the S13 being lighter, I dont know the differences really.

 

really i've made my choice , im gonna be going with the s14, really only because it does look better.really appreciate guys. my daughter says she likes it more too.

 

I like them both, I have an s13 that I picked up off a friend for dirt cheap but I would like to get an s14 and have a kouki front. What are your plans for the car, any swaps in mind, KA-T, etc....?

 

i've heard from friends that the sr20det is the way to go if i want lots of power i'm really not too familiar with the sr ka motors, fill me in please
