looking for a S13 or 14

[eclipser2001]

I'm totaly new to Nissans, I'm an Eclipse guy. Whats the difference between the 240's, the S13 and S14, and the Silvias? I really want a RWD car, and I'm looking to tear the twisties up.

please search the internet. That info is so easily attainable. Silvias are sold over seas. I could go on telling you, but i dont feel like writing a small book. Thats such a huge question to answer when its been answered 1,000,000,000 times over the internet already.

Thanks

So the only difference between the S13 and S14 is the body chasis/style?

[nissan_240sx]

pretty much, but the 1989 and 1990 240sx have single cam engines ka24e

s13 and s14 silvia engines are slightly different...

and there are different s14 silvia engines. keep reading about it and you'd be surprised how things fit together.

by the way, what the hell does 'tear up the twisties' mean?!?

[eclipser2001]

But if I'm just going to do and engine swap and upgraded suspension, it's still all down to which one lookes better to me, right?

I read that the S13's are lighter and the dashboard looks are a love/hate situation, and they have a softer suspension. I'm leaning more towards the S14. Whatever I get I just don't want the flip up headlights. I wanted the KA24DE to start out with then swap to the SR20DET.

Does anyone have pics of the different headlights for the S14?

aha

[nissan_240sx]

for the s14 headlights, theres the long oval type ones (1995 - 1996) and theres the mean eye ones/shark eyes/whatever (1997 - 1998) which everyone now seems to like, but thats just following the bandwagon. Personaly I like he oval type ones better (1995 - 1996)

pics?
google up the years

Right when I think I understood all of this you throw Kouki and Zenkis at me. I need an explanation now.

There is nothing wrong with the flip-ups, it's just I see alot of Miatas, Firebirds, Corvettes with broken headlights (they just don't come up anymore, or one is up and the other is down).
