Silvia S14 and 240SX

[CA954]

This is going to sound stupid, I know, but, whats the difference between the Silvia S14 and 240SX - from one side I hear that the S14 is just a euro version with different outlook but can be adjusted into an S14 from a 240SX. The other version of teh story is that the S14 is just another name for the 240SX in Europe. Thanks

s14 is the (chassie?) code for all 240sx's (called 200sx in europe and silvia in japan) made between 95-98.

and if u don't know what a chassis code is:

because cars are named differently in different markets, the car's "name" to the car company is alpha-numeric.  S13 is the 1989-1994 240SX (America)/200SX (Europe/Australia)/Silvia (Japan).  S14 is that car from 1994-1999.  S15 is the 1999- silvia.  other codes you may have heard but not recognized are R32, R33, and R34, which are skyline GT-R's, JZA80 (the Supra), EG and EK (Civics), DC5 (the RSX - other DC's are also integras), so on and so forth.

actually I think the s14 was mad until 99' they stopped bringing them to the us in 98'.  I've seen pics of Euro 99' S14's
