Well, my '98 is a 5 speed, so there goes 1... There were a total of 15,883 made (if I remember correctly), but total 5 speed? :confused:

Whoa, not 15K. Only 5800 total 97-98's made. Not sure about SE/LE, but the percentage is probably around 50% base, 50% SE/LE

5800 is about right..if i remember it was about 5800-6600 total made for both yrs. do a search, i posted a thread asking about the total amount of each yr made and somebody posted it up for all the yrs. i remember the 95s there were about +20XXX made.
i think they got the info from FA

uh, yeah, 1.6MB sig? uhhhhh...:mad:

anyway, there aren't any official numbers released... I'd say easily less than 2000 were made in SE/LE trim with a 5 speed though.

I'm only asking because twice my friend had to buy a 97-98 SE 5spd, and twice he had to fly out of state. This last time he had to fly to Florida and drive back home here in Houston. On autotrader there were 115 97-98's, and of those, only 6 were SE/LE 5spd.

more reason for people who actually own a s14a to NOT **** it up. since its so damn rare.

I looked for one for about 4 months before I settled on one and I only saw around a half dozen 5speeds (I was searching from Fla to the New England Area!) I once read that only about 30% of 97-98's were stick. So if there were less than 6,000 made then there should be less than 1,800 around. Just a guess, But I do know there a lot more rare than an Integra type R.

I know this thread is about 97-98's, but I looked for a 95-98 5-speed for over a year, and this is the ONLY one I found in the Tulsa area. The 2 97-98's I saw for sale in that year were both auto's. OK sucks for finding cool cars!

Anybody have any numbers for S14's 95-96 and 97-98 numbers in Canada?

Well, around here, 240sx's aren't all too rare. I looked at lots of S14a's (that's 97-98 right?) and not one of the SE/LE's were 5 speed.
So I bought a fastback (like the 5th one I looked at too!).
Please don't crash your 240sx. People in TN like to wreck them. I guess we don't see alot of snow, but when we do, people freak out. Then they crash them. :(

I've got a black 98 5spd SE and sometimes I have bad dreams that my car gets crashed/vandalized/stolen.... although I've noticed that all the 97-98 5spds I tend to see are black....

I know that feeling. Every time there is a "close call," I'm so thankful that I was able to avoid an accident because I know how un-replaceable our cars really are, especially 5-speeds.

Yeah I noticed that. I am still looking for a ride. I notice that the 97-98 models are almost all auto.

I did not know they were so rare. Now I know why they are so pricey and have more respect for them.
