95 240sx, yeah i have to say, i was about to get a 2.5RS, but it was just the fact of having an uncommon car, and a sleek black car that made me want it soo bad, paid too much for mine.  oh well i gots my baby.

You just saying that showed me what an idiot you are. The SOHCs an excellent motor too and my SOHC would probably blow your DOHC out of the water as im sure many other SOHC owners with decent tuning can too. Even if it does have a stiffer chassis (which im not sure is true or not) the S13 hatch can pull .88g's stock which is more then the S14. All your complaints are about the looks. Thats a perfect sign of someone thats inexp'd in the 240. All the 240s looked great, with smooth clean lines, sport stying that kept up with its age.

I have an interesting question..I won't direct it at anyone in particular and I hope no one takes offense to it. &nbsp;If you guys look at the topic, it says &quot;S13 or S14&quot; and the description says &quot;what do you have?&quot;. &nbsp;

Instead of us just posting what we have, a lot of us (ie: not all) seem to be bashing the other models in the process. &nbsp;Personally, I am relatively new to this board and 240's in general (Having purchased my first 240 in May of '01) but truthfully I like all the models, which is exactly what my original post states.

Why do we have to bash each others cars? &nbsp;The main thing I love about 240 owners and boards in general is that they seem to be so friendly and knowledgable not just to 240 owners but to owners of other brands/models as well. &nbsp;

I guess what I'm trying to get at is..let's not bash each others cars, regardless of what model/year it is. &nbsp;When it comes down to it, we still all love 240's and Nissan, which is what brought us here in the first place.

well, I went from the S13 to the S14.....

thewholefnshow

You know, I don't care what kind you got. Ever since I have bought my car, it has been a love in with 240 owners.... I pull into a gas station where there is another 240, and rest assured we both circle each others cars, and talk for like 5 minutes, then race off together. All the time. That might be what I like best about the car. I never drove the s13. I love my s14. It has the best lines of any car ever, other than maybe the s15.... but I like my taillights better... so you know. I got no beef with people. or there cars, you drive a 240, and you are ok with me... unless it is rusted and not taken car of and you bought it cause it was cute, then never changed the oil for 30k and wonder why it breaks down.... I will run you over... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Love your 240!

BlankFlip

some years from now the s14's will cost just as much as the s13's do now n a lot of ppl w/ s13's might be s14 owners n all of a sudden have a change of opinion. i like them both though for slightly different reasons. i wanna own an s13 along w/ my s14 one day, don't care if it's h/b or coupe really.

thewholefnshow

I don't think that will happen for 1 reason... there are not nearly as many s14s as there are s13s... you can go anywhere in canada and see them... especially canada... there are 100's and i saw 1, count it one s14 coupe the whole time I was there. That is the other thing that I love about the s14, they are exlusive, you don't see them everyday. They are totally one of a kind... anyone sees my gold 240 in montreal, they know its me. no questions asked.

you tell em nismo. if i had a dollar for every time i've beaten a DOHC i'd have.....ok only $8 but still. even the magazines said there was hardly any difference and they don't know where the 15 extra horsepower went but it didn't go in the motor. haha. i'm sure it's somewhat superior in someways but once you fix them up they can run just as well once ported and polished. a lot of racers prefer the SOHC. &nbsp;obviously sexy240 doesn't know what they're talking about.

AceInHole

basically... sticking the N/A route gives you the option for side draft carbs that bolt right on to the SOHC head. &nbsp;Stuff like that not being available for the DOHC plays a big role in it, IMO. &nbsp;

Ni5mo180SX

ok, in case that comment directed at &quot;no one in specific&quot; was meant for me, I never started this flame war between the S13 and S14 nor did I add on to it. If you look at my earlier post I said it was stupid to talk shit on either the S13 or 14. I was just setting someone ignorent, towards 240's straight. And as far as the side draft carbs playing a big role, I dont really follow. I can honestly say in the 2 and half years I owned my 240 I never lost to a NA DOHC and I didnt have carbs on mine. Im not talking about on a max potential basis.

I like my little S13 FB bc one day i want it to look like this

oh yeah Pop up lights rule!!!(until one dies and you have lazy eye)

Ni5mo180SX

Yea and to the guy bitching about the pop up lights, I wonder what he thinks about the NSX, RX7, Diablo, F355 etc.

ar3na

oh its a simple as this people i dont knwo if u us people ahve hot 4's over ther but its a mag anw i would liek to take the time to read or should i say write to u what was said in there.

According to &quot;John Tang&quot; the owner of speedwork the australian no.1 jun dealer, nissan silvia s13 is a more logical choice than a s14 for a PERFORMANCE build-up. &quot;to begin with you can buy a s13 for less money than a s14. the s13 weighs less and has a shorter wheelbase. so its basic handling is better than the s14 too. The s14 is basically a look at me i ahve a nice car with a relly cool bodaykit. for a performance build-up the s14 is a stupid choice. if u look at the drift scene in japan at the moment u will see taht the s13 handles its self much better., which is why they are such a commen thing over there.&quot;

need i say more people.
the s13 is much better unless the only thing u plan on using your car for is looking good.

kitoro

dang it i can't say anything!

this is SO true
I live in calgary and we only have a FEW S14s.. like 7?? out of over 200 S13s of various shapes and forms!
elusive and exotic...

duderiffic

I don't know if any Japanese car can really be exotic, but exclusive I will go for. &nbsp;There are quite a few S14s in my town. &nbsp;I'd say at least 8 out of a population of 50,000. &nbsp;But there are only Two or Three 97-98.

As far as styling I'd rather have a late-model S13 hatchback than a 1995-1996 S14. &nbsp;Those first two years of S14 just didn't do it for me. &nbsp;I wanted a 1994 hatchback since I was 16 like 4 years ago. &nbsp;At the same time I wanted the new 97/98 240. &nbsp;A few years later after searching for almost a year I finally found my 5 speed 1998. &nbsp;

I could certainly see how owning an S13 would be more fun, as far as performance. &nbsp;But a car must also look good in my opinion, but I'm not really all about performance.

So there you go =P

Im pretty sure if you saw an S13 tearing it up on a track or seeing one beat an NSX at the street races in person, would be all that it takes for you to change your definition of &quot;looking good&quot;

duderiffic

I think that would count more for the tun quotient. &nbsp;The S13 is a good looking car. &nbsp;And was an awesome looking car 5 years ago. &nbsp;But lines date and styles change. &nbsp;I guess the lines of that car (to me) aren't timeless. &nbsp;As I'm sure in 5 years I wont think my S14 to be so cool either.

I'm just saying park two stock 240s next to each other. &nbsp;S13 &amp; Late model S14 and which looks better? &nbsp;Not to a racer or a tuner, but just to an average person (not saying that their vote counts to most) but the S14 is a better looking car. &nbsp;

s13 coupe........... alot of response to this thread, wow, you'd think it were talking about riceboys!!!

No such thing as a '94 Hatchback, sir.

Me... I love them all! But I owned an S13 and am on the verge of buying another one. Hatch this time. Coupes still rule, but the whole sil-eighty thing... ahhhh...

I didnt really bash anyones car. The 180SX was made till 96' wasnt it? thats when they came out with the special Nismo edition. For the 180, they just had two styling updates.

S13 Girl,
&nbsp; &nbsp; Sorry I know nothing about S13s, what years were the hatchbacks made?

Jeff

drift freaq

Hatchbacks were sold here in the states from 89-93. 180sx 's(hatchbacks with SR20DET's) i.e. RPS13's were sold in Japan till late 98 They were still on listed on Nissan Japans website as a production vehicle in the year 2000. after that Nissan removed them from their website.
they body design of the Hatchback is not really all that dated either it is actually still a very current design . Actually it looks better than a lot of the current designs coming out of most of the manufacturers. &nbsp;New Celica's are just butt ugly . Most new Mitsu's don't look good either. WRX's are ok .
S14's look nice for a coupe. s13 hatchs look like what they are sport cars.
