S13 terms.

[HermsS13]

I know tihs is prolly a stupid question but ive looked online and cant find it out so.. Is there any names for S13s I know there is an S14 kouki and zenki or whatever but is there names like that for the S13 thanks alot.

[silvia15]

there are different models like the s14 such as general ones like redtop and blacktop.

[HermsS13]

I know abotu the red top and black tops thiongs like that i was just wondering of they went by other names.

[logik23]

89-90: Zenki
91-94: Chuki
95-98: Kouki

Zenki means early, chuki mean middle and kouki is late.

[monooxide]

I have a Chuki a red headed serial killer doll woohoo!

[93-240SX-COUPE]

So basically an s13 and chuki would be the exact same thing.

So if someone said I have a: 91-94 Nissan 240sx, s13, or Chuki, its all the same thing? Except for the fact that s13 is for 89-91 as well.

[logik23]

No, chucki, ouki and zenki apply to everything, you can have a kouki Trueno, a kouki Skyline (R34), a kouki Supra (MKIV), etc.

[93-240SX-COUPE]

oh alright got it so you have to say a chuki s13. One other question, can u use chuki to describe a 240, like "I have a chuki 240" or do u only use zenki, chuki, or kouki when describing jdm cars like the s13, s14, etc.?

[logik23]

Again, you can use zenki to describe an early model of anything, even a toilet.

[Chuki_breath]

lol, yea i think hes actually trying to climb up mine....shoo shooo down down. throws acorns...lol jp

but didnt the red tops come in zenki s14 and black tops come in kouki's???? god damn i forget more about 240s than i remember...i guess cuz i dont care for the sr20...its ka or rb for me.

[logik23]

The CA came in the Zenki 180SX, the redtop SR came in the Chucki 180SX and the blacktop SR came in the Kouki 180SX. The CA came in the Zenki S13 and the SR redtop in the Kouki S13, all S14s got the notchtop (VVT blacktop) and all S15s got a better version of the notchtop.

[Chuki_breath]

so all s14's have a black top? for some reason i thought there was an s14 red top. Wow i dunno. I think i mix and match my facts up. Then i think about it so long i end up thinking totally wrong. Like i have a red top ka lol ok im not that stupid. But yea, that does sound right now that i think about it. AAAAHh thats it the black top came in the s13's too. THats where im going wrong. Thanx for the clear up, i need to get the sr facts down again. Iv hindered them out since im a ka guy.

[HermsS13]

ok cool thanks guys

this information wasn't in the FAQs?? wtf have we been doing.

if you call something zen-, chu-, kou- KI then it only applies to machinery/transportation like objects. (i.e. - cars, jets, boats)

The japanese language is very complex but like Logik said... zenki would be the same as saying pre- or early. Chu- meaning middle... and Ko- meaning late...

so there is no meaning behind these that literally relate to the 240sx/180sx. It's just a way to categorize the different models. We just happen to attach some value to them ... so in our world... hearing "chuki" would mean 240sx S13 91-94.
