i like s13's and they're cheaper but kouki s14s look pretty good too so im not sure yet.. i want it fully loaded so im going for an SE(right?).. did all SE models have LSD?

i want to buy it with an sr20 already installed and i would like it if the silvia front(s13) was on it but its not mandatory...

main question...

what are common issues with the s13/s14 and the sr20 redtop? im pretty sure theres more than one version of the redtop so im generalizing..

im an ae86 driver and a club4ag member(a newbie here not complete drift newbie) but i want more power and a better daily driver.. saying that.. i want this car to have 300-350 WHP(resonable i hope) and be a daily driver/mild drifter...

help me get started please!! reccomendations, warnings and donts are appriciated.... MaHaLo nUi

240's are prone to rust around the front strut towers and under the spare tire.sr20 engines equipped with shower rails for the cams are prone to burning the cams IF the oil is not changed for a really long time.not all se's have lsd.not all abs cars have lsd even.the s13 is cheaper and lighter than the s14 but is also smaller.maybe post in the 240/silvia forum for more specifics.
