S13 fast. Have one, love it. Looks awesome, and because of the glass out back it has a near 50/50 weight balance. A little porkier than the coupe because of that, but nothing a little carbon here and there can't fix. Besides, I enjoy building things from the ground up, so having a basic car (like mine) gives more room for creativity.

s14 for sure i cant even believe this is a poll . s14 looks way sleeker , has a better stance , chassis is unbelievably stiffer than the s13,s sloppy front end , lets put it this way , i love the s13 i had one , but i bought an s14 , and i have done 1/2 the suspension work on my s14 that my s13 had , and the s14 is already handling better , sliding smoother , and is way easier to counter steer and control with the ebrake . all you can argue that the s13 is better , but this is for sure . im not convinced that the s13 is better at all . and i have the right to say that cuz i have driven both for 2 years at a time .

and to the s13 owners , dont get butthurt its just my opinion , no disrespect .

I had an S13 SR20 now I have an S14

overall if it wasnt for the S13's age... I like the look of the S13 fastbacks... I found my S13 easier to slide easier to drift and control while the S14 is a bit more quick to rotate- result of wheelbase lengths S14 has a longer wheelbase

the fastback is cool... you can carry your track tires to the track without putting them in the drivers seat... S14 can only fit one in the trunk

my S13 rattled like balls... the hatch would go nuts until I drove fast enough for the spoiler to work

the S14 doesnt rattle as much

I laugh at S13s. HAHAHA! That's me laughing.

S14s are more sensitive with throttle control, are more responsive, and respond much better than a wimpy s-bad luck-13 could ever wish to handle. So haha to hatchbacks. Close tha door!

S14s rock the house. They're sleeker, newer, much more comfortable, and have all sorts of improvements all around. I think maybe an S13 would make a slightly better dedicated drift / race car, but for a daily driven car, nothing can beat the S14. And personally, I've always preferred the Zenki. The kouki looks to me like it's about to have a stroke.

I've had both. I love both, but I'll have to go with the s14 because s13's are a dime a dozen and I CAN'T STAND the electric seatbelts. Plus you see waaaay more s13's on the road than you do s14's.

ive had both, and i have no preference, they are both fun cars and have theyre highs and lows, although, obviously the s14 will be the better engineered car. well, at least it should be.

I have to agree on the S14 being a stiffer chassis. My friend and I recently test drove one, and he eventually bought it. I drove it around for a day and definitely liked the way it handled versus my fastback. Though it is a much heavier car. (maybe because my car is gutted)

If I were going to build a track car, I would use a S13. Just because it is lighter, and I can reinforce it to match or better the S14's chassis.

I want an S14 for a daily driver though. Add some beat, aero, wheels, and just maintain it.

S14's interior is so much nicer and refined...and nothing feels better than sitting back while an SR motor plunges you into the nice bucket seats

there is a reason why nissan stopped the s14 after the kouki front end...perfection. haha no I like fastbacks slammed, type x bumper, sleepy eyes and turbo. but pretty much a 97-98 with a motorsports front lip and jdm grille and slammed looks way better i think.

...the S13 fastback will always live on through time as "THE 240SX" because it is a sexier car.

S14 All the way

Actually, an S14.5 is much better. Especially, when you stuff it with an RB25DET and put some decent suspension on it. Start with some Tanable Springs, Tokiko shocks, Cusco front and rear Sway Bars, Cusco front and rear Strut bars, 4 Volk Racing Limited Edition CE28N wheels, 8.5" in fromt and 9.5" in rear, with Nitto 555 235/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear.
Wallowing about? I don't think so, this thing handles like a rocket sled on rails!
Who hauls groceries in the trunk? That's where the two 12" JL Audio W6V2 subwoofers, in their cutom made enclosure, with their two JL Audio 500 Watt amps in their custom amp rack, three 1 Farad Caps, and the Rockford Fosgate 1100 cca battery belong!! This supports the JL Audio 360 Watt 4 channel amp for the passenger compartment to drive the front 6.5 components and the rear 6.5 two-ways. Hey, you gotta have tunes even when you are going fast.
Sit in the Sparco Torino 2 seats, stretch your feet out to the pedals and revel in the power and handling of one awesome beast.

i have an RPS13, and while i do like it, i'd rather have a Kouki S14, cause they look meaner.....but ive never even been in an s14 nevermind driven one, so i cant vouch for handling ETC.....

....but if i had my choice in life, i'd hafta have an S15 Aero Spec R in baysideblue........
