97-98 look the best. Dono about other differances between 95-96 and 97-98.

You know, for my money, you just can't beat a 96. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Sorry my roommate didn't take a better picture. &nbsp;Caught only the landing, instead of all the wheels off the ground. &nbsp;That's about 75 mph.

i like the 97-98, but i'd get a 95-96 because of the ECU. &nbsp;something about compatability or obII or JWT doesn't make ECU's for 97-98. i read something on another board, i own an S13 so i didn't pay much attn, anyone know anything about this? &nbsp;but in my opinion i'd get a 96

well, on the speed side... 96. but on the handling side, nothing beats the 89 and 90s. the 95-98s seem to sway more, and the 91-94s have bad understeer.

[S13Grl]

'91s have the best factory cams, '95-'96 stiffest suspension. '97-98s look dope and '89-90s have the SOHCs. '94s were Auto only, convertible only.

[chickenmanq]

Whateverjames: &nbsp;Did you check into Jetchip? &nbsp;www.jetchip.com &nbsp;When I called JWT, they said they could only get me 8 hp out of the ecu. &nbsp;Jetchip promises 12-13. &nbsp;It's a little cheaper too, I think. &nbsp;$400 for Jetchip. &nbsp;I don't know if JWT would tune it any better. &nbsp;Jetchip is genericly tuned, but I'll bet you could call them to specifically tune it.

i'll attest for that stiffest suspension man...... my 95 handles INCREDIBLY! it handles better than a fully customized prelude in handling..... fully cust i . e . springs struts/shocks sway bars tie bars and strut bars..... i was happy : )

i would have to say 89 since mine is an 89 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

well, i love 97+, they look the best... &nbsp;but i dont know about the handeling... i just have a sway bar and i hanged with a slammed a.w.s. prelude around turns... &nbsp;

and im sorry but what the #### is a hardbody on here for? &nbsp;this is not www.slammednspoked.com.. its a 300zx and 240sx forum... &nbsp;

[chickenmanq]

Well, if you hadn't put it together, the 2.4 liter is found in the hardbody as well as the 240. &nbsp;Same engine as the SOHC 240sx'. &nbsp;(ka24e) &nbsp;And what the #### is slammednspoked? &nbsp;Does my baby look like a useless lowrider? Jesus christo! &nbsp;And yes, I have a 5-speed, and it kicks ass. &nbsp;I don't know what I'd do if I had, saaaaaay......an AUTOMATIC! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

hummm....never had a problem with understeer...even before my susupension parts.
However, I believe the brake proportioning on these years is a little more front biased than on other years which under excessive braking will cause front lockup and cause the car to push on corner entry. &nbsp;But this is nothing a little better driving can't take care of. &nbsp;
Oh...and my pick would be '91-'93.:)

[konkman]

91,

Super HICAS, first year DOHC, sexy new body, and suspension system made for a car twice the price. &nbsp;What else do you need?

[S13Grl]

You forgot our dope cams, Konkie!

[BlankFlip]

u all know the 96 rules, don't hate <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[S13 Passion]

THEYRE ALL AMAZING! except for the 89.... kinda looks ugly. and i love my suspension, no understeer or anything on my '92.

[whateverjames]

well gee good thing i don't have an 89
oh yeah i have a 90, nevermind, it's ugly too <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>

[HondakillaS14]

I love all models of the 240 (except fore the convertable)....the S13's have a little more of a sporty look to them and of course I'll never dis my own litttle'95...and I also love the more aggressive look of the '97-'98s......personally (even if I didn't own one) I'd think that the 240 is one of the best looking cars on the road...just my opinion..don't beat me up...I know I'm not the only one:)

[HippoSleek]

I'd love to claim stiffest suspension in my 1995, but that honor goes to 1991-93. &nbsp;I get stiffest chasis however - along with my fellow s14's.

As for other - most of it has been said - best head/cams/bottom end/etc. &nbsp;However, only the 1995 has OBD I, the better styling, and the coolest drivers... :cool:

[ded240sxowner]

91 just cuz I have one &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[Yoshi]

Well, I'm biased like the other s13 owners, but even press releases from nissan said that they took a step away from performance and more towards luxary with the s14's.... HOWEVER, the s15 (with the exception of it's transmission) puts us all to shame <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
