Be easy on me, I'm new.  Just want to know the difference between the s13 s14 s15 models styling and technically speaking.

TIA

the S13 model is made through the years 1989-1994.  the S14 model was made through the years 1995-1998.  the S15 is still being made, but they do not import those into the US.  just the S13 and S14 models.  the 1995-1996 model has more of rounded (not as sharp) headlights as the 1997-1998 models do.  maybe someone can post pics so you can see the difference.  hope that helps

Swing by the Gallery on this site to see pics of, well, everything.
As for technical data:

*240sx models*
s13 '89-90 - 140 hp SOHC engine, ~140 ft lbs torque
s13 '91-94 - 155 hp DOHC engine, 160 ft lbs torque, new nose, new handling package (limited slip and HICAS rear steering system available). Best looking, IMHO <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
s14 '95-96 - New car, same engine. New style, coushier suspension. Slightly stronger internals. Same 155 hp/160 ft lbs. No more HICAS
s14 '97-98 - New evil eye headlights. Most badass

S15 is only available for sale in Japan and Europe (I believe). It has the J-Spec engine:
SR20DET-2.0 Intercooled Turbo with about 205 or 215 horse. I'm not entirely sure about the horses. Can someone correct me?

The S15, in turbo form, has 250 hp stock.
Same SR20DET engine but with a T28 ball bearing turbo.

The s15 isn't officailly sold in europe yet (but you can get an importer to bring em over), I think nissan still sells the S14 as new here.

What were the stats before they introduced the T28 turbo?

s13grl,
The S13 DET (red top) came with a T25 turbo= 205hp
The S14 DET (Black top) was upgraded to T28 = 220hp
And the S15 (black top as well) ball bearing T28 = 250hp

I couldn't give you detailed explanation on how exactly is the ball bearing better, all I know is that it has reduced friction in the turbine shaft (between compressor and intake side), and this ends up in better spool up times and such... go to www.turboneticsinc.com for more tech info <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
