Silvia s13 vs. s14

Ok nismo peeps, ive heard varied stories between the s13 and the s14 over which is better. As i understand the tale the s13 was great, replaced to be a more refined family car type deal as the s14, and the mistake was realized and thus the s15 is born.

So, which do you thing reigns?

Please consider:
1. looks
2. performance
3. in their U.S. counterparts ease of sr20de/t installation and other jspec conversions

thanks

Well it's all a matter of preference in looks category...just two for instances via Bomex (the only body kits I like for S13/S14's)

S13 hatchback (180SX in Japan)


S13 coupe (Silvia in Japan)


vs.

S14 (95-96) (Silvia in Japan)



S14 (97-98) (Silvia in Japan)



Now in terms of which is better for the SR20DET which is a 2.0 Liter Turbo engine that creates 202 HP, 217 HP or 247 HP depending upon the year...the S13 SR's are better to put into S13's b/c the S13 has been around longer and has more support and has more documentation to help you in doing the swap. S14 swap's are not as frequent b/c of the fact that they are a bit newer and the swap's are more expensive since the engines are newer and produce a bit more HP.

The S13's from 89-90 in the US were SOHC and only prodcued 140HP...so they are no match for the 91-98's that produced 155HP DOHC.

So bottom line...if you are on a budget...S13 w/S13 SR...but if you want to be a bit more original and have a better looking car IMHO...get an S14 and do the S14 SR swap.

the S14~!!! i know the S13 is a better chassis for drifting since its lighter and is better balanced. but i like the S14 for cause its a better daily driver in my opinion and you can make it look like a mini skyline. just that alone gets my vote.

Better for drifting eh? The S14 is setup pretty well too...52/48 split...so it's not far behind...

Personally the S13 can look good but it needs extensive bodywork and wheels to look the part. While the S14 can look good w/just wheels...IMHO

The S13 is fugly IMHO (at least in coupe form) while it's lighter- I like the S14's refinement- but it looks extremely dull- so the S15 is the only way I'd go- and I can get them here easily enough
