What do you prefer? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

InsTanCeZ · 06-06-2012, 07:40 PM

What do you guys like better? Kouki 180sx or Kouki S14 and why? I might get a good deal on a s13 hatchback, so I was wondering if I should get it or wait and save more money and get an s14. I've always loved the kouki s14, but the kouki 180sx is pretty sick too. I'm having trouble deciding.

My main inspirations:

merks · 06-06-2012, 07:48 PM

Either one can be had with work. I am a sucker for both. Once my s14 is a kouki I plan to get a s13 type x. they both have their own unique style to them.

Crondy · 06-06-2012, 07:49 PM

I ended up with a hatch, was gonna sell it for an s14, said fuck it I'm getting both.

Well aren't you cool? Lol jk but not really that's actually pretty cool...

Anyways, if you're on the fence between a s13 and s14 get an s14, they're much nicer to sit in and drive. (this is coming from someone who owns an s13 btw)

lol, yeah I've driven my friend's S13 and I liked it, but I've never been inside an S14. Aren't 180sx/S13s lighter than S14 though?

JDM_Tuner · 06-06-2012, 08:23 PM

S14 ZENKI...end thread

but seriously, get the car that YOU want, not the car voted most by a bunch of guys on the internet.

InsTanCeZ · 06-06-2012, 08:24 PM

I know but I want both... I can't really make up my mind. lol

JDM_Tuner · 06-06-2012, 08:26 PM

in that case buy both...

xoxide · 06-06-2012, 08:29 PM

What will you be using the car for?

If its dailying, id save and get an S14... They are alot more comfortable, and typically have less miles on them being a newer car. I have both, I am building my S13 for track and daily my S14.

Idk how to explain the difference.. Do you follow football at all? If so an s13 is like a kick returner, smaller, nimbler, lighter, (although not by much), and a s14 is like your go-to running back, a lil more meat on the bones. I wanna say s14s are a bit more predictable as well but I haven't driven them enough for that to be a valid opinion. I do know that just driving around town, I enjoy my friends s14 more; its just a lil more civilized than my car is.

boostedk · 06-06-2012, 08:48 PM

S14 kouki. because is newer , better looking (my opinion) and simply because is idk how to explain bigger wider looks aggresive

JdmDrift4Food · 06-06-2012, 08:57 PM

Do more research and make a decision yourself. Simple. Dont go off of opinions of other people... Some people like blue, others like red.

InsTanCeZ · 06-06-2012, 09:00 PM

Well thanks guys, I'll take a look at the s13 hatch and see if it's a good deal, but I think I'm kinda leaning towards the S14

Lighter but not much. That big ass glass in the back aint exactly light. S14 is also more balanced, better suspension angles, handles better.

nissan240syan · 06-06-2012, 09:41 PM

s14 all day

InsTanCeZ · 06-06-2012, 09:49 PM

Oh yeah the s14 has a better subframe with less anti-squat or something too right?

thisisastickup · 06-06-2012, 09:49 PM

I'd say s14, I love em. 180s are cool but it's just that little bit of extra size that makes the s14s so cool.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 06-06-2012, 09:49 PM

My biggest gripe against S13s is that they're too damn twitchy drifting. Some people prefer the twitchiness and is more exciting for them. S14s are alot smoother, I like not having to fight the car and easily control the car with one hand.

InsTanCeZ · 06-06-2012, 09:54 PM

Yeah I've noticed that too from watching how people drift in them, the S14s always did seem smoother now that I think about it. lol

IAmTheS13 · 06-06-2012, 09:56 PM

Which ever will work best for your budget.

*dawagarage* · 06-06-2012, 10:45 PM

I really wanted a hatchback. after fruitless searching for a few years I settled on the first 5 speed I found which was the 240 I wanted the least (96 Zenki.) now I'm Zenki for life

*ManoNegra* · 06-07-2012, 09:13 AM

whichever will get you more acceptance by a bunch of strangers on the internet.

I like prefer it when people choose for themselves. S13 and 14 are Played out. Get an m30 or something vintage

ixfxi · 06-08-2012, 08:59 AM

s14 = piece of junk

they're not sporty

if you want a car thats not sporty, buy an s14.

ixfxi · 06-08-2012, 08:59 AM

oh yeah, s13 is a piece of junk too.

my advice? buy another car, leave these alone.

*brndck* · 06-08-2012, 07:48 PM

i'd prefer if we didn't have any more retarded opinion threads.
its your money, make your own damn choices.

Goofs · 06-08-2012, 07:49 PM

I always thought a kouki s14 is the second ugliest production 240, nothing beats the ugliness of a vert. IMO get a zenki.

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 06-08-2012, 09:03 PM
