S13 vs s14

[jskateborders]

No, This is not another one of those which is better threads, although I bet you guys were all exited to flame. Sorry. This is a video I found pitting the s13 silvia and the s14 silvia against eachother.
I found It interesting

Enjoy

[hustlervibes]

The S14 seems a little more tail happy while the S13 seems to understeer more. But the S13's lighter chassis does seem to give it somewhat of an upper hand in acceleration.

Anyway, good find S14 FTW! :)

Haha, you wish. :keke:

[Sonic Motor]

the S14 is barely better. lol

S13 FTW

[LA_phantom_240]

I've noticed that even our USDM s14s are more tail happy than our s13s. I like it. I love my s14. Every single day.

[Gumballf355]

Seems like Stock S14s are better than stock S13s... but we already knew that right??

[s13_redSILVIA]

nice vid! :)
S13 FTW!!!!

[Antihero983]

hmm from what i've noticed, the s14 has more neutral handling, and the s13 is super prone to understeer, but its nothing a set of swaybars and springs won't help.

[coreansurfer]

take that s13!

s14 ftw!

[jskateborders]

yep, and battery relocation, and keep that spare tire!

[MavericStephenc]

I love my s14's handling. no spare, light battery tokiko blues and eibach springs handles very nice.

[drift freaq]

screw both of them, just get a fastback. baaahahahahahahahahaha

[J-Style]

I just love Silvias. :love:

[240sx_LE]

hmm.. now i want to see the silvia and 180sx against each other.

[MavericStephenc]

screw both of them, just get a fastback. baaahahahahahahahahaha

I miss my fast back :insert sad face here:

[worangejuice]

cool video
S13 High Five

[Psycho 240 Freak]

Where's the 180SX??

[usdm180sx]

Where's the 180SX??

It's a SILVIA comparison

[B Love]

There all dope to me. No preference S14 is bigger and I think would make a cleaner dd. and the 13 can be a chill dd too but on the track I think its all driver

[backroadtouge]

mmmt hink how nice a brand new from factory 240 would feel, all smooth and crap.

[jskateborders]

Yea, s14 would make a better dd for sure, theres just something about the s13's I love.

mmmt hink how nice a brand new from factory 240 would feel, all smooth and crap.
Yea, that would be sweet. I was watching a video where they were at a 180sx factory in japan and the guy drove one outta the factory. It was all clean and fresh. You know they put the engine in, the driveshaft, and the diff all at once? they just raise it up to the frame.

[chituntang]

Stock to Stock in S13 and S14 is like...
you want 15ps along with the 100 extra lbs?

[!Zar!]

I have both.

s14 handles better.

But I'm sick of it. So I'm building a new s13.

Go figure.

[Psycho 240 Freak]

It's a SILVIA comparison

Yeah, but it would've been nice to see a 180 thrown into the mix too.

[NiSmOKnIghTsRBS14]

s14 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Koopa Troopa]

Having owned 2 S13's and a S14.... Hands down the S14 is a far better chasis.

[drift freaq]

wow mel. welcome back to the darkside lol

[CSil80]

I'm with Drift Freaq on this one! Hatches rule! :)

[hotblah]

you know it.. love all nissan...HATCHES 4EVER....

[usdm180sx]

Me too. S14 is def the better chassis but for some reason I sold it and still have my s13 :D

[drift freaq]

Thats because someone gave you bank, for your s14 Norm. LOL.

[AznDrftr.]

Hmm interesting. I love my s13 though. I wouldnt mind the 14 though.

[usdm180sx]

LOL ain't it the troof!

[golds1400]

i had a s14 now own 2 s13 1 dd and one track just wanted somthing new kinda miss the s14 :(

[GabeS14]

that was kinda cool, I hadn't seen any vids of stock 13 vs14's before

[S13Leprechaun]

yeah cool video..

but i think reveryone that has had both s13 and s14's this the s14 is better daily but the s13 is just so raw and thats what makes it rad. s13 FTW!

[s14sx]

+1 for finding that video clip. haha I bet that v-clip is 10yrs old!

[illvialuver]

I love my s14, and all i have to say about this tail happy business, is watch drift bible basically the same video, drift king goes all into the s13= understeer, and the s14, has more over steer.

[S13Leprechaun]

yeah but wouldnt you rather understeer and smash into a wall rather than spinout?

hahaa jk jk... just gives it that extra kick tho ya know? hahaha.

[drift freaq]

Ya but I don't care what the hell he says. One persons opinion does not make a car.
For me it comes down to this. I get inside a S13 and it says toss me, drive me, abuse me. It begs to get pushed through corners. I get in a S14 and its say oh ok I can do that. Though it does not ask me to do it. It feels large, It feels American. It feels like a setup Mustang Cobra. Not like a sports car. Which the S13 does feel like.

Before you going saying oh you have not driven a Setup s14, bullshit. I have driven fully setup Mustang Cobra's Fully setup S14's and Fully setup S13's in the end at least for me the S13 is the one. Funny how you quote drift king and the drift bible. Yet if you look at D1 and most of the great Japanese drifters and they are all driving 180sx's or S13 Silvia's. Why is that?
I don't think it needs explaining, they feel the way I do :D
Ya I know Nomuken is running a Skyline GTST right now but thats just to be different for show. Notice how he is not running a S14. LOL

[cloudstrife930]

Both of um are hot, s14 is more tail happy tho, which is actually more fun to me especially with a shot suspension and bad rear sub bushings. :( I like the s14 cause you just dont see as many of them on the road round these parts. After i finiah my s14 Ill probably build an s13 for the hell of it. I think you see alot more s13s modified cause you can find a shell or an old one for 500 bux if you wanted to really. Ive seen s14's that dont even move for 3000 in ny.

[Antihero983]

i love my fastback, but i will say, the s14 has the nicest rear end out of all S chassis.

and i wouldnt mind having a S14 as a daily with a mild suspension setup for touge runs every now and again...

couldnt agree more...

plus s14 zenkis remind me of camrys haha

the 90's were a tough time for car design, if you notice, the R33, the Altima, the camry, the J30, and the s14 (im sure there were others, but i cant remember them all) looked alot alike.

w0rd.

mid-late 80's car design > mid 90's (for the most part at least)

I liked the look of the truenos, s12's, s13's, starions, 1st gen integras, and fc's. It gave more of a sportier look, like it was meant for just 2 people.

I couldnt agree with you more, although, I dont mind the look of s14's

[FusionR240sx]

interior and exterior wise... s14

exactly!

msgfuckerlngth.

[vinhnumber]

IMHO s13's seem like the more mod friendly cars, You could have a janky ass s13 and get away with it, when moreso if you have a janky s14 it doesn't seem right, s14 feel a little more lux so you have to treat it that way.

[steve shadows]

the S14 is barely better. lol

S13 FTW

didnt it have vtc and more hp too...


still though for a track car I prefer oversteer to understeer any day.

You can correct understeer pretty easiliy for most tracks on the s13

[ROUGE180]

mmmmmm Silvia K's Aero bumper!!! That was a cool vid. That s13K's was doing well for most of it and then the S14Ks just found the right line. I love 240z period. Im on my second pignose hatch. I want an S15. Maybe one day but my hatch has taken good care of me for sure.

[k's_silvia2.0]

:drama: :blah: :drama: :blah: :drama: :blah:

[hijack3d]

couldnt agree more...

plus s14 zenkis remind me of camrys haha

It does have kind of that daily driver look/feel to it, and the ugly blue interior in mine just shouts, "mid 1990's" ... but who doesn't love that kei office body kit on the zenki S14 in the Drift Bible.... Definately subtle hotness. :naughty:

MMMMMMM Starion!!!!

but i would say 2nd gen integras with the updated front look better than the 1st and 3rd gen. i would love to have a 93 GSR

[Full-Lock]

overall the s14 is the better of the 2. it is shorter and wider compared to the longer more narrow s13.

sure the s14s are heavier, but not by much

s13s are still cool!

[Pank]

my s14 was only 2,500 dollars, but it feels too "fancy" to throw around like a dickhead on the track.
plus, unmodded s13's around here are cheap, because people in the "new" south think that anythind made in 1994 is worth 1,000 dollars because its "so old"

[Sonic Motor]

didnt it have vtc and more hp too...


exactly.

S13 silvia is a beauty...gotta have it.
Sorry, zenki with stock height = :barf:

[JesusFreakDrifter]

i like all 240s from zenki to chouki to kouki to sil to onevia to sil8t, to s14 zenki kouki jdm and usdm,

but s14 ftw tho (finally got one)

[SilviaSR20DET]

the s13s on the streets almost always look beat up compared to s14s dunno why that is... love the way my s14 handles

[ZenkitonS14]

Get over it, they both get the job done. Drive whatever tickles your pickle.

Yea, that imo makes the s14 zenki sexier than all. I never wanted an s14 but i was watching that and I was like "I want that"

[onabulletride]

I love my s14, thanks for the vid op.

[CNDC]

Nice, I've always wondered how they paired up to each other performance wise.

Why I love my 14...



EYE HUNTO SILBEER!!

[B Love]

14 Is more classy I think

[(K)]

I don't remember my interior looking that good...

[Vision Garage]

s14s FTMFW! Hahaha. Also own a hatch. For a track car i would pick the hatch cuz they are cheap lil whores.
