S13, S14 zenki or kouki???

[Soyo]

well first of all to correct some things, the S13's are lighter than the S14's, the S14 have the same power and torque as the 91-93 S13, and no the S14 engine doesn't have anymore potential than the S13 because its the same engine.

personaly I prefer the S13 hatchback since you asked our preference

and if your planing on a SR swap I recommend you do some research because it doesn't seem as if you've done much.

and if your money is tight I'd say either keep the KA(the engine already in both models if you don't know)or buy a new KA for about 1k with probably 30k on it and then mod it,add an exhaust, intake, etc. and then maybe add a turbo

give it a lot of thought and research before you get into it, its always good to have a plan for your car before buying it

hell of a lot cheaper than modding it yourself.....


seriously if you want a fast car only get a 5.0. you can find a modded one that runs 13's for probably 5000.

if you want a fast 240 check ebay often and 240sx.org classifieds. they seem to be down at the moment though....

yea, i do like the hatchback s13's to some extent. But the hatchback's rear window is actually heavier than the trunk of a coupe s13, but i don't really like the coupe's, but then again, i want to keep the car as light as possible without having to strip to much stuff out. and another thing, those old 5.0 are ugly as hell to me so yea i guess it'll be smart just to get an s13 and just put the modern stuff i want on it rather than getting and s14 (altohugh the kouki's are sooooooo nice) so yea i've given it thought and i got the dough for the sr20 so i'll go with that, now i just gotta ask around to find out all that i possibly can, the do's and dont's, shit like that, thanks.

[mynismo]

go with hatchback, they look better

only 30 lbs more... that's not gonna affect your speed AT ALL....

then again it could be the same weight... the spoiler i took off my car was over 20 lbs.

[XeVeNskyLiNE]

yup i agree, i was gonna go with the hatch too, JDM taillights look alot better of them anyways, wish i could find that carbon fiber mid-piece that says RPS13 on it, that would be sweeeet

ugh...JDM is a buzz-word that's way too over-used these days. hell, i saw a guy on another forum who claimed his Civic coupe was "JDM", yet it had a BlackWidow front bumper, Wings West sideskirts, and Altezza's. he thought it was "JDM" because he had the orange turn signals and painted his stock hubcaps instead of getting huge, flashy rims.

i agree though, the Kouki 180SX tails are very nice. i don't care what anyone says about how played-out they are these days. if you like them, then nothing else matters really.

mynismo and ghostchild - he asked for info on buying a 240SX, so please give him the info he requested or simply don't post! he didn't ask for info on buying a 5.0 or a CRX.

[XeVeNskyLiNE]

yea yea i know, but that mid-peice i'm talking about is actually jdm, not that wannabe stuff. have you noticed its mainly honda owners claiming everything to the paint on their car is jdm? next time you know, it'll all be about DTM

[Soyo]

well acctually if you go to www.nismoparts.com you can get the tail lights and center piece and all

only fits fastback

[mynismo]

wow thanks for the link, i'll bookmark it for the future.

that's the cheapest ive seen them anywhere.

[XeVeNskyLiNE]

here's the center peice i'm talkin about. importfan.com has them for $200, but i dont know, i've heard bad things about those people. still, its still i nice little touch.

the blacktop is newer, so subsequently has less km usually. there are very small differences technologically, but i'm pretty sure the power output is the same for hp anyways. not too sure about torque...if you're refering to the black-top S14 SR20, then that engine has even more differences. more power, and some more technological advances.

i'm not sure about power to weight ratio, but the Zenki and Kouki have the exact same engine. DOHC KA24DE 16 valve inline 4 producing 145hp.

mynismo -

I believe they produce 155 hp @ 6000 160lbs/ft torque @ 5000rpm, I know for a fact that ka24de puts out 160 torque @ 5000, not to sure about hp rpm...
Oh and good luck trying to find a 98 240sx, cause I had none what so ever, but I am satisfied with my 95 240sx.

my friend had the fastback, until his rear window shattered. there is no rear support, just glass. the coupe is a stronger, more riggid car...

i still have my fastback though....one day my glass will also shatter

[mynismo]

ive never seen glass shatter on a fastback... those things are so strong. my windshield on the other hand...........

mustang 5.0, psh yea right [/b]

That simply demonstartes your ignorance and lack of knowledge on cars

5.0s handle VERY well...look at Hotchkis and stuff...they OWN at freakin track days... even SCCs own Protoge MP3, one of the worlds best handling cars, go DESTROYED by a 5.0 on the track

you like drag...you can turbo the 5.0, get a bit of ntrous, and fuck up imports...

Insurance is VERY high on them ,which is what holds me back from gettin one

if you ever got a 5.0, i would either stop talking to you, or simply call you Cletus and nothing but Cletus every time i saw you.
