I used to be a chuki before I traded to the Silvia front end. Sometimes I sit and wish I had it back to stock. Then I remember how I hate the pop ups. Bleh...

[nismo 03]

i might sound stupid asking this but is a chuki ? ok never mind i know what it is but why is it called a chuki

[Driftless240]

He knows what the Chuki is, but what does Chuki mean.... is where he is going with that...

[nismo 03]

its the design of the front bumper but what i want to know is where did it get that name and why

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

Chuki means middle period. Chukis would be the 91-94 models of the S13. If it's got the shark nose, it's a chuki.

Zenki means preceding period. The 89-90 pignoses are the Zenki S13's.

Kouki means latter period. That would be the last S14's...made in 97-98.

The Zenki (before Kouki) S14's are from 96-97.

[nismo 03]

i got it, i got it

[Driftless240]

I knew that.......

I'd rather have no front bumper than a pignose. Seriously.

[adrianfromthecastle]

The first generation of the 240SX can be divided into two distinct variants: Zenki (otherwise known as the pignose, or ugly) and Chūki. Each of these variants came in two distinct styles: hatchback (base and SE) and coupe (base, SE, and XE). The coupe was closely related to the Japanese-market Silvia. It differed from the Silvia by having retractable headlamps (United States headlight height regulations prevented the use of the Silvia headlamp arrangement). The fastback (commonly confused with a hatchback) was closely related to the Japanese-market 180SX. The two styles share the same chassis, and with few exceptions, most components and features are identical.

The Zenki (前期, lit. preceding period) was sold under model years 1989 through 1990. It was powered by a 140 hp (105 kW) 2.4-litre SOHC KA24E engine with 3 valves per cylinder instead of the 1.8-litre DOHC CA18, with no turbocharged engine available in the United States. Four-wheel disc brakes were standard, with antilock brakes as an option on the SE. Both models were offered with either a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. Coupes offered a Head-Up Display showing a digital speedometer as part of the optional Power Convenience Group.S13 "Chuki"S13 "Chuki"

The Chūki (中期, lit. middle period) was available from model years 1991 to 1994. This gave the car an overhaul that included mostly minor body modifications and an upgrade to the engine. The Zenki front bumper was replaced by a smoother, more modern-looking bumper, and a new (LE) hatchback trim package was added that included leather interior. The SOHC KA24E was replaced by a new DOHC KA24DE with 4 valves per cylinder that produced 15 more hp, for a total output of 155 hp (116 kW). An optional sports package including a limited slip differential and Nissan's HICAS four wheel steering was added to the fastback. In 1992, a convertible body style was added to the lineup. It was exclusive to North America and was partially assembled in Japan, with final assembly taking place in the California facilities of American Specialty Cars (ASC).

For the 1994 model year, the only available car was a Special Edition of the Convertible body style with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

The S13 was known for its sharp steering/handling (thanks to front MacPherson struts and a rear multilink suspension) and relatively light weight (2600 lb) but was regarded in the automotive press as being underpowered. The Nissan KA24E engine, while durable, was a heavy, iron-block unit that produced meager power for its size, with only slight improvement when upgraded to the DOHC version. This engine is the main difference between North America's 240SX and world-market Silvia/180SX. Also, pignose fail.
