Nissan Platforms

[MIDRED]

Does anybody know if the 240 SX S13 & S14 shares a chassis platform with any other Nissan cars?

Don't believe they do.

No s13 and s14 have a chassis code of RPS13-14 respectively, and they are the onyl cars in nissans lineup that use them there are still lots of fun swaps to do with other nissan chassis. the sr20 or KA swap into a NSX, 200sx or 510 is killer. Modern power and tuning in a lightweifght old skool looking body. Nothing says I just paid the rent in two stoplights like 350 whp and lightweight body.

I don't believe so. There are shared (R200, R200V differential) and interchangeable (brakes, hubs, subframes, etc) parts. But concerning entire chassis or platforms, I would think not. The closest by virtue of size would have been the R32-33 (based on a larger family sedan, with some shortened into coupes). The only other RWD-based vehicles of that era were the J/M30 (a larger luxury-oriented vehicle, possibly based on a sedan), the Q45 (obviously not), The Laurel (see comments on the Q45), and the Z31/32 (larger, wider coupe). Things are different now, however, where it seems like everything is based on the G35 platform.

Anyway, take this with a grain of salt, as this is my best guess, based on what I know about those vehicles. But I don't think platform sharing became the thing to do until Renault took over.

Bonus: S13s and S14s have chassis codes of just that: S13 and S14. As discussed in many a thread and FAQ, all of the other letters of the alphabet soup denote variations of S13 and S14 base (body style, engine type, HICAS, etc).

as noted the S13, S14, Z32, J30 and Q45 (I have no idea what the Infiniti chassis codes are?) are all pretty similar at key suspension mounting points with almost identical subframe assy's

and the R200 diff goes back to 76 in the S30, the chassis designation for the old RWD 200sx is S12 and I can't think of the dimes chassis code at the moment
