S-chassis "easter egg" hunt

[Yuri]

I know there is a thread on "what rare parts do you have on your car"
But this is a little different.
S13's and S14's were offered with many different options that many buyers opted out of, thus making them a coveted rarity today.
Some well known examples are the creamy yellow two-tone, and lavender frost color schemes dropped after one year, and the rare oem trunk luggage rack.

This thread is so we can discover these oem rareties and share them with others.

It can be anything from the varities of jdm two-tones, to rare models, parts, or accessories. The only requirement is that it HAS TO BE OEM.

Here are some examples, and their backgrounds:


http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/Yurikaze/coolbox.jpg
This is the "coolbox" option for the S13 Silvia. The box inside the glovebox is ducted into the a/c system, and used to cool drinks.


http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/Yurikaze/lavenderfrostmetalic_171.jpg
Lavender frost. This color was offered in the US only in 1989. In Japan it was offered on the Silvia as a two-tone scheme, and was still offered on the SR-powered S13's

I should be getting a 1989 silvia sales brochure, so maybe more parts will present themselves, like the oem turbo timer.

[EchoOfSilence]

WOW. I had no idea about that cool box.
Lavender frost actually looks dope. aha.
Anyway, I guess I'll contribute, but I'm sure people are sick of seeing it by now.

if that car had the cool box, it would REALLY deserve to be called a refridgerator. same color as one and keeps shit cold too!

[EchoOfSilence]

:rofl:
I need to get one of those now. *sigh* gotta hit up raretrick

[nissantuner22]

I love the 2 tone coupes. I dunno why, but I do

[axiomatik]

It's because a two-tone paint job makes the car look longer and lower, reduces the visual height of the car. Plus, because the lower portion is dark, it blends with the shadow under the car, also making it look lower.

No, its because twotones are the shit.

All that other stuff, you're just imagining things.

[mad s13]

i've got a few brochures too...one for the 180sx and s13 , and a navan catalog for the s13 silvia, as well as the sileighty brochure, lots of intersting things in them. I've got a factory fan controller switch...set hi or low, i'll get some pics of it soon. also how many of you guys knew the 180sx had a rear fog light availiable?


also i need to see a pic of the lavender frost 2 tone!!!!!

[pignosecoupe]

I dont know if it is "rare" but I havn't seen another with this exact color. I havn't seen others in person that are exactly.

There is one of those by my house that I see an old guy driving all the time, and it seriously bums be out. One of these days I'm gonna find out where he lives and leave a note on the car asking him to sell, lol.

Sorry don't have pics but I hear the cup holder option is somewhat rare.
Anyone knows the factory code for that lavender color? Looks good.

my hatchback was originally that color, plus i see at least 2 of the blue/gray 2 tones in my town once a week.

plus i'm kicking myself because there was a minty/gray 2 tone for sale before i bought my 240...didn't realize at the time how rare they were..

lastly there was a creme/beige 2 tone in my local junkyard that got crushed recently :( (as well as 2 other nice red hatches..one of which gave up its black interior to me)

[Yuri]

Here's my new silver-green two-tone. horrible pic I know
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/Yurikaze/PICT0024.jpg
You are all going to hate me because I'm repainting it lavender frost. Although if everyone keeps jumping on the as yet unstarted lavender frost bandwagon, I may have to just repaint it the stock color.:squint:

But enough of this turning into a "I have a USDM two-tone" thread, let's see some other stuff.:bigok:

[DUDEIDONTHAVEA240]

is the stock turbo timer made by blitz? when i bought a front clip tucked away under dash very neatly with what looked like OEM wiring on a plug was a blitz turbo timer. if it is ill take a pic

[Yuri]

The oem turbo timer has a switch mounted where the coin holder usually goes on the dash.

[trsilvias13]

i wonder waht is thunder black?

God, lavender frost looks like the hotness, i want to see how it looks in person, im tempted to get some!

Cash, is there suppose to be a picture or something?
I love that mint green with silver two-tone paint. There was a S13 coupe in that exact scheme in my neighborhood, just sitting for months... I finally worked up the courage to go talk to them about possibly buying it (at the time not knowing if they'd even sell it) and they said they sold it the day before... for $500... :( It ran, was a 5spd and its only problem that I could see was a broken drivers window. I was a very sad panda that day.

ohhhh man, owned!

[s13silvia03]

I've seen UK s14 200sx with leather heated seats, can't find the pic at this moment...

[KOUKI_VERS13]

im interested in getting an oem turbo timer if anyone has one. i used to see them once in a while on ebay about 2 years ago.. i havent seen one in a year already, they went for pretty cheap too. it was pretty dope since it had a little switch for 30 sec or 1 min, with the "brain" that you tucked away into hiding.

[lucky7]

i think my car is just plain as day.. ultra-red S14. 5 lug, vlsd, sunroof. but i was a little curious about the interior. titanium leather. i dont look at alot of pictures, but i cant remeber seeing too many of them. (i really have no idea.) it seems that 90% of S14 owners hear have cloth interiors.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/danerm3/DSC00009.jpg

cant wait to get it back from the shop and get them all cleaned up! but whatever. probably my imagination and everybody has the same. ahh well.

I believe that those were the 1996 base model seats. They arent my taste personally. Here are the base seats in my '95, I have only seen those seats you posted in 96' model base series S14's.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/DopefishLives/240sx/240sxC2.jpg

I just swapped my seats for SE cloth seats from a 96' model which I believe are identical from 95-98 but dont qoute me... I'll post pics of them tomorrow morning. From what I've seen the Japanese SE cloth seats are similar but of a differant pattern, unless the pattern changed in 97 and was shared in both markets.

You still haven't fixed the headlights huh?

lol! ok that was pretty funny. :rofl:

here's my contribution to the thread:

Automatic models also feature Nissan's "DUET-EA" system, an electronic link between the engine control module (ECM) and the transmission designed to facilitate smoother, more controlled shifts. Many users have been known to circumvent this system however in favor of a more "sports car" feeling to the ride, similar to that of an agressivley shifted manual transmission.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/240SX

[S14DB]

We don't get the full "DUET-EA" in the US. JDM models have a Power/Snow 3-way toggle switch by the shifter.

[ManoNegra]

YES!!
I can finally shed some light on the whole Silvia club's thing.

Starting with the SR20 equipped Silvias, Nissan released the "Art Force" editions. One was oriented towards performance (the Silvia Club's) whereas another was centered on luxury, (the Silvia Diamond's). The Club's could be ordered on any hardtop Silvia, the J's,Q's,or K's, while the Diamond's could be had on all those models, and when the limited edition Silvia convertible came out, it is rumored that the Diamond's package was standard.
I don't know yet what specific parts seperated the packages except what I have already said.

The badges were different from the standard badges, as they were chrome, and had a little diamond or club as part of the badge. The diamond's badge is easy to get, which is ironic, as most ppl don't know the diamond's package existed.
Here's a K's diamond badge:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/Yurikaze/silvia_k1.jpg

and here's the cover of the Silvia Art Force editions brochure:

Hopefully somebody can clue us in on the differences between the Silvia Club & Diamond Packages . . . .

It had no front end on it, but from what I could tell by checking it out, here are some specifics on this particular car:

silver Twin cam turbo intercooler script on black trim below K's emblem
Gold Silvia trunk badge
Digital climate control
tweed-like standard interior with adjustable headrests.
no sunroof
teardrop alloys
slightly lower ride-height (doesn't appear to be aftermarket)

The system on that 180sx was stock. The key fob had a little IR transmitter (like a remote control) which was received by a little 1.5" high doodad up on the corner of the dash on the drivers side (JDM driver side).
I remember trying to get in to the car and being unable to because I was using the fob like it was transmitting a radio signal. I gave up and used the damn key.
That was a nice 180.
Here's a pic I took of it one night:

mr meph that was your car!?!?!?!
I was seriously thinking about buying it. oh man, got any more lol sending em to sam ;)

[mrmephistopheles]

lol no, that's was all Sam's. He imported it and sold the engine (which was already seperate), then dropped in an SR20DE. He put alot of money into that car and didn't recoup nearly what he paid. Whoever bought it got a good deal.
I only drove it once (right before we left for Japan).

[undercoverdjay]

I have the AG2 Aztec Red on my 89 parts car, as per the color/year thing it was not available. Ive seen other Aztec red 12 valves too. Just wondering why the discrepancy?

[jobestudios]

Okay, question for yall since this is a "jdm goodie" thread.

This is the badge I bought, the oval with the "z", it came on a s13 coupe trunklid from japan.

[ThatGuy]

if its the same car, one of the drift car drivers from enjuku bought that car out here in florida. its his daily driver too i believe. its a nice car, it had an hks exhaust i believe, since it finally rusted/cracked and i remember him telling me about the shop he had it fixed at. /off-topic

[Andrew Bohan]

are 90-94 silvias technically chuuki? cuz after that it was s14. i say it should be kouki.

unlike 91-93 us fastbacks, since the fastback did in fact continue in japan as the kouki 180. they should be chuuki.

so something like this.
COUPE...........FASTBACK
zenki *s13.....zenki r*s13
kouki *s13.....chuuki r*s13
zenki s14.......kouki r*s13
kouki s14.......none

Cant you just put a tow hook on your car? I dont think it was ever a factory option.

[KingKong8247]

I guess I just dont know who would want to even put one on a 240 What could you tow with it?

[SimpleSexy180]

THINGS that aren't over 100lbs.

Your talking about the rubber sleeve that fits over the end of the door right?

I know honda's have that HUGE rubber strip down the sides of the doors for ding protecion.

I have never heard of an S14 having those.

[s13dan]

Well one of you guys can smack me if im wrong but i have read that the first six months of production that 240's had a stronger front cross member than any S13's after that. What i read was that a lot of people complained about ride qaulity and so nissan decided to weaken the front cross member in favor of ride qaulity. Since my car was built in 8/88 i would have the beffy front cross member...

interesting, mine was produced in 8/88 also, or 9/88. either way, i wanna check up on that.

[Yuri]

hmm, mine was made 1/89. What month did production start? It may explain one of the reasons my 89 feels so much tighter than my 90.

In the meantime, for you S14 guys:
S14 card holder. fits into dash (in one of the slots on either side of the wheel I think). So if you want to carry business cards, you can do it oem pimp style.

[NemeGuero]

My s14 SE had all that shit.. 'cept it was black. But I don't have LSD or ABS either.

Do have roof, gauges and 5-lug.

The catch? I believe it's 'cuz my car came automatic.

The european market s14 (and possibly Jap market as well, not sure) was available with a rear windshield wiper... hot and effective (i know i could use one)

dude, how is that rare? most se's didn't have lsd or abs. the lip, white gauges, and 5 lug were all pretty common on se's. rare would be a s14 with lsd and no abs (ultra-ultra-rare)....

[Gearhead_42]

I guess SE with almost no options wasn't as rare as I thought :cool:

Your car does kinda kill the earlier theory about the auto's being the only ones without the LSD.

So I guess all I got is the "single model year color" :bow:

[docrice]

also semi-rare ish were the USDM s14's with the LE trim...only available on the kouki, not very common AFAIK...

2. my S14 SE also doesnt have LSD or ABS...

...but it'll have LSD soon!!!

[docrice]

How rare? Did they come with an LE badge?

Not sure how rare, but i'd like to know if someone could find figures. Believe they did come with a LE badge though. Probably pretty rare, considering that less than 8000 USDM koukis were sold total and most people haven't seen/heard of an LE...

[S14DB]

I can't find a new LE badge anywhere.

there were 3655 koukis sold in 1997 and 2178 sold in 1998, making a USDM kouki s14 more rare than a ferrari modena! of course "rarity" doesnt actually mean anything but lack of numbers...

[Cashizslick]

Does anybody have production statistics for S14 Zenki's?

[NemeGuero]

Damn, only 5833 Kouki's?! I need to go buy another one before they all get wrecked/bought.

[m072514]

Does anybody have production statistics for S14 Zenki's?

okay, here goes:

1995 Production: 25,114
1996 Production: 7,334

that makes a grand total of 32,448 USDM zenkis. i would put the total number of kouki's at lower than 5,000: some were invariably lost to crashes, etc. just my guess. im glad i own 0.02% of the kouki community!

[Cashizslick]

Good info,

I wonder why there was such a production drop from 95 - 96?

Also, are these worldwide production #'s or just for the US?

[TurDz]

cant say these are correct. info from long ago

[Nostradamus]

I just skimmed through this thread so I'm not sure if the following info has been posted.

From wikipedia... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Silvia)
The S13 was the first S-series car to use the J's (Jack), Q's (Queen), K's (King) naming for the different trim levels. The K's were the only model to receive the turbocharged engines. The Club Selection cars came with specific options bundled together. For example all Club Selection K's came with projector headlights, a rear spoiler, and aluminum wheels. There was also a Dia(mond) Selection model available for selected years that included another similar accessories bundle.

J's were the base model with a very basic interior, little electronics and are rarely found outside of Japan. The Q's model is middle-of-the-road. They received full electric options and an optional LSD. The K's were considered the top of the line and featured the turbocharged engine and the same full electric options as the Q's. K's have an LSD as standard equipment.

There also exists the rare and widely-disputed Silvia A's "Almighty." The only available engine was the normally-aspirated SR20DE.

From 200sx.org... (http://www.200sx.org/faq_1.html)
There was a limited edition S13 convertible, a few hundred cars were built by the factory to use up the last of the S13 coupe shells. All of the original cars were painted "Royal Blue", and had the fixed headlights of the Silvia, rather than the 180SX/240SX (PS13) pop-ups. There have been several conversions. The Autech package being the most common in Japan at least.
http://www.200sx.org/images/lowres/s13-conv.jpg

From a different wikipedia article... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_240SX)
In 1992, a convertible body style was added to the lineup. It was exclusive to North America and was partially assembled in Japan, with final assembly taking place in the California facilities of American Specialty Cars (ASC).

So the last two articles are contradictory?

Also here's some codes for those who are interested, from somewhere...
'88-'90 S13 Silvia CA18DET
'90-'91 RS13 180SX CA18DET (R for fastback)
'91-'93 PS13 Silvia SR20DET (P for SR)
'91-'98 RPS13 180SX SR20DET (no distinction between the two different minor model change, last minor change was the inclusion of the double round lights and a more squarish front bumper.)
'91-'93 KPS13 Silvia (K for SuperHicas)
'91-'93 KRPS13 180SX
'89-'90 HS13 240SX KA24E (H for KA24E)
'89-'90 RHS13 240SX FB
'91-'94 MS13 240SX (dunno chassis code for convertables)
'91-'93 RMS13 240SX FB(M for KA24DE)
'91-'93 KRMS13 240SX FB w/ SuperHicas
'91-'93 KMS13 240SX w/ SuperHicas (Canadian market only).
'94-'98 S14 Silvia SR20DET
'94-'98 CS14 Silvia w/ SuperHicas
'95-'98 S14 240SX KA24DE (no specific S14 code for KA24DE)

[Yuri]

About the convertibles. They both exist. Just keep in mind that due to the way wikipedia works, it isn't always completly accurate. The club's/diamond's entry wasn't even on there before it was brought up in this thread.

All of the original cars were painted "Royal Blue", and had the fixed headlights of the Silvia, rather than the 180SX/240SX (PS13) pop-ups. There have been several conversions. The Autech package being the most common in Japan at least.
http://www.200sx.org/images/lowres/s13-conv.jpg

From a different wikipedia article... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_240SX)
In 1992, a convertible body style was added to the lineup. It was exclusive to North America and was partially assembled in Japan, with final assembly taking place in the California facilities of American Specialty Cars (ASC).

So the last two articles are contradictory?

Also here's some codes for those who are interested, from somewhere...
'88-'90 S13 Silvia CA18DET
'90-'91 RS13 180SX CA18DET (R for fastback)
'91-'93 PS13 Silvia SR20DET (P for SR)
'91-'98 RPS13 180SX SR20DET (no distinction between the two different minor model change, last minor change was the inclusion of the double round lights and a more squarish front bumper.)
'91-'93 KPS13 Silvia (K for SuperHicas)
'91-'93 KRPS13 180SX
'89-'90 HS13 240SX KA24E (H for KA24E)
'89-'90 RHS13 240SX FB
'91-'94 MS13 240SX (dunno chassis code for convertables)
'91-'93 RMS13 240SX FB(M for KA24DE)
'91-'93 KRMS13 240SX FB w/ SuperHicas
'91-'93 KMS13 240SX w/ SuperHicas (Canadian market only).
'94-'98 S14 Silvia SR20DET
'94-'98 CS14 Silvia w/ SuperHicas
'95-'98 S14 240SX KA24DE (no specific S14 code for KA24DE)


Good info Dave.

[mrmephistopheles]

How rare was OEM white leather? This is the first time ive seen them

http://img427.imageshack.us/img427/2438/s13leather14on.jpg


Came on LE's.
I dunno if you'd call it cream or white or what, but the LE coupe we're trying to secure in the states has it. Green exterior, brown interior, cream leather.

[articdragon192]

I thought only Fastbacks came in LE trim.

[S14DB]

I see the "window display on/off" but no pics of the projection.

I have Titanium Leather(and hate it down here). It's much darker. I some how can't find pics this late at night.
I totally forgot to post pics of the Titanium Leather:

i think he's talking about the S14...

[mrmephistopheles]

i think he's talking about the S14...

Nope, I'm talking about an S13.
I can't say if it has an LE badge or not. I'm going based off of what the current owner said.

[articdragon192]

^ I have yet to see a coupe with leather interior.

[mrmephistopheles]

Negatron, it was possible in all years of coupe.
The '93 we're trying to get (pictured above) has HUD as well.

[docrice]

Good info,

I wonder why there was such a production drop from 95 - 96?

Also, are these worldwide production #'s or just for the US?


Numbers only reflect US cars. Seems like a lot of cars got killed or cut back due to OBD II changes (or whatever reason that caused many performance cars to be killed around 94-96ish). Also, the 240 got to be a rather expensive car: I think my car in 96 brand new was around $22k (I looked up price/options a while ago, not sure if thats correct), which is a little salty for the time.

[axiomatik]

It didn't have anything to do with OBDII. There was just a huge drop in the 2-door market in the mid-90's. I think it had to do with the rise in popularity of SUV's. People started buying suv's for the family vehicle instead of sedans or minivans. Since suv's cost so much more then, people didn't have as much spare income to spend on a sporty 2-door. Plus, 240's were pretty damn expensive, if you think about it. In 98, a 240 cost around $22,000-25,000, whereas something like an Integra, cost about $18,000, and for the vast majority of the car-buying public, there isn't that much to differentiate the two.

[WanganRunner]

also semi-rare ish were the USDM s14's with the LE trim...only available on the kouki, not very common AFAIK...

I have a '98 LE. The LE's were almost exclusively offered as automatics due to the luxury connotation, and I believe that to get one in 5spd you had to factory order it.

Mine's a 5spd, Silver Moss LE:

http://nissaninfiniticlub.net/photopost/data/500/11645DSC00226.JPG

I'd love to get the production numbers by trim level, transmission type, and color, to see exactly how many other '98 5spd Silver Moss LE's were made. I've asked Nissan a couple of times, but they've always said no dice.

Those "Silvia" rear S13 coupe windows (the small ones) are PIMPTACULAR. I just got a white S13 coupe last month, can anyone clue me in to where I might score those windows?

Oh, and the Kouki is for sale, PM me.

You can tell by the deadly looking spikes on the roof, an architectural feature common to all Mormon Temples, though most have only one.

[boro240]

Thanks. I'll be listing it on Autotrader inside of a month, once I get a couple issues straightened out with it. It's just about to turn 89k.

Anyway, I'll take ANY commercials, JDM, EDM, or USDM, that anyone has for any S-chassis car. I have none and I want them all.

I'm also interested in period reviews, articles, etc...

fastbacks never came from the factory as two-tones, any in existence are custom painted.

[IMPerfection]

My 95 SE came with the gay rubber things on the doors, and all 4 wheel wells. God, when I took those things off, it was fucking disgusting. However, the 3 hours of peeling, scrubbing with goo gone, and then meguiars scratch-x were SO worth it.

Who else's S14 stock muffler has rust all down the drivers side of it? Every single 240 I looked at had the same rust line, and so do the junkyard ones I've found. That's rare.

Finally, I think we should make a seperate commerical & literature megathread. Because I've been searching all over for S-chassis commercials from any market.

Maybe it was only called the 'Almighty' by people who actually bought it, make it seem more special than it really was.

Ash Tray is written on there by the company that produced the ashtrays (be it Nissan or someone else). The 'Non Smokers Box' is a sticker applied later, presumably by the consumer. One would guess that it was the intention for that sticker to be applied over 'Ash Tray'.
