Your call if you wanna save some money and put the engine in the car it came w/ s13. If you wanna look good, s14.

all I have to say is WEIGHT!!!! IMO, the S13:R32 as the S14:R33. The R33 was called the largest, least performance oriented of all the skylines.

The S14 has less performance and more weight then the S13 coupe, but the S14 guys will kill me for that, but it's my opinion. so... *flame suit on!!!*

are you open to just your vicinity or would you get the car shipped? I'll keep my eyes open, but I'm all the way up here in Seattle,

no i am looking anywhere. if it isnt local it has to be in running condition so i can fly out and drive it home. i prefer a black coupe or a two tone teal gray coupe. no red. tia for keeping your eye out.

S13s, with or without the conversion, are plain sexier than S14's any day. Sure the S14s look nice but they blend in with many other cars out there, like a freakin coupe maxima....S13 with S15 is like Viagra to me. :D

the coupes are hard to come by. thats why i settled on a hatch then it grew on me. i think its a lot better than the coupe just cuz i have one. but

S14 all the way, the S13's look too old and 80's-ish to me.

I personally dont like the look of the s14's at all. I think a s13 modded up and in good shape owns the s14.

Although I own an S13 coupe, I like the way the S14 looks, especially if you're serious about putting an 98 style front end on it. If you're going to make this car your primary vehicle and want nice looks, go with the S14. If on the other hand you just want to race it around and make it as racecar-esque as possible... go with the S13.

I have an S14, and I'm selling it. If I had an S13, I'd probably keep it.

Call me crazy, but I prefer the looks and interior of the S13 over the S14.
