How do you like your s14?

[aznromeox]

How do you like your s14? Ride, comfort, noise, power, etc etc. If you can do a comparison to a s13 that would be great. I'm considering selling or trading in my bmw 325i for a 95 240sx. I own a s13 right now so I know a fair share about it. I just don't like how old my s13 is and how much i have had to invest to restore it, not even having it modified yet.Thanks so much,Ronald

[theronin]

well, ive never owned an s13 so i can't compare the 2.

However, i love my S14, LOOOOVE her, She isnt the fastest thing on the road... but she is the classiest! the ride is very comfortable (although i am changing that as we speak) but also very sport at the same time... the handling is just epic! from what i have heard the s13's handle even better than s14's so that is saying something! and i just love it when people dont know what kinda car i have! lets me educate! hope this helps!

[UncleBen]

my s14 rules. it looks good, sounds good, and has big brakes i love the handling, although it could be alot better. ride is good with my suspension setup, although you do feel every bump, but its still not too firm for my liking. she is one of the rarest cars out there i think, especially in my town. so, all in all i love her.

I dont have one, but the only problem with them that i've found so far was the E-brake. If it's up, it gets in the way of your arm trying to get to the shifter. Now, you shouldnt be driving with the ebrake on, but that made me angry. Oh yeah, and the stupid button that you have to push to pull your keys out, just like a toyota.

If those are the only complaints you have about her, I think the s14 is in good shape, lol .

Anyways, all 240sx's ROCK....:ylsuper

it all depends on what your personal taste is.......

IMHO, I prefer the S14 in emerald blue.....hence my sig pic and my car....lol....

only s13's have the ignition key lock button. and i dont know what the problem is with the ebrake? mine is properly tensioned and it never gets in the way of my reach to the shifter when pulled up. oh yeah i have a 97 s14...

[theronin]

only s13's have the ignition key lock button.

Wrong!:rolleyes

[Rockenreno]

Wrong!:rolleyes

I have seen s14s with the ignition dealy. Ronin is right.

BTW, why do they do that?

to piss me off!

[bp2ooo]

i dunno i have a 95 240 and i can pull my key right out. No button to push on my car... was it a factory option maybe?

might have been an SE option... my se has that fvckin button! darn you nissan and your weird option packages... darn you to hell!

[nismodave]

WRONG

I have a 96 base model, and mine has the lock button.....Ive never had a problem.

BTW......I LOVE and HATE my SRd s14.....

I hate the Tunning problems and $ Ive spent.

But I love winning car shows.....Like today (yea for me):D

The TONS of honda guys drooling over my ride makes it all worth it.

[bp2ooo]

Yea, i also have an se, and have no button. Im glad i dont.

I have seen this car in person and I have to say it is the cleanist sqaured away car I have ever seen. You could literally eat off the engine bay. Great job Ben,

[UncleBen]

my car will have no button, because it began as an automatic. still no 5spd though. dam clutch and some other stuff is on backorder

[UncleBen]

wow, i just saw your reply Bud. thank you so much for the awesome comments man. that makes it all worth it to me. all of this, spending time on a car forum, numerous cleaning ours on my car, etc. you just made it all worth while, and i think you :thumbup

[aznromeox]

Half this thread is about a button on the car... ;0Doesn't seem all that special to me ;0 btw i hate my button on the s13

Anybody have anything to say about the s14 ... as a whole

[Ace]

My car was an automatic so it didn't have the key lock, but now that its 5sp I still have no key lock so I am free. Anyway I love my S14 it is super clean and is pretty fast. I am 6'8" so I can't really fit into a S13 anyway. So I had to choose a S14.

[Anand]

2 words... LOVE IT!

[98TURBOKA]

I love my 98 240, I've modified everything, but it all was fine stock , just depending on what you want. The best thing about it is that you can drive down the road and not see 5 cars that are just like it stock or not.

[silviaNE]

have a 95 and i dont have a button. I think e-brake placement is nice. If you are refering to it getting in the waqy while drifting, then get a drift knob. The only car i would trade for is an s15 or a skyline.

[unleash the beast]

I love my 97 s14 for 2 years I beat every modified Honda around my parts while running stock, now I give mustangs and camaros a pretty good run , good enough that they don't believe it's a 4 cyl. Still running on stock suspension, but it rides and handles great in my opinion. the only minus I can think of was that I couldn't fit my 15's in the trunk without spending too much money for a custom enclosure...after being the only 240 around my town for a few years now everybody is talking about and buying them.

[silviaNE]

I hope the s14 doesnt get overhyped by import tuner or someother mag. I would hate to see 240s all riced out.

[SILV1A]

You guys are making me love my S14 even more and I haven't even picked it up from the seller yet. I do hate that they're popping up in every tuner mag. I like that fact that they're rare and when I start seeing more and more people with the same car on the road, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get a little defensive, hehe.

[Rockenreno]

I've only driven mine in a parking lot thus far, but today I'm taking her out on the road. I must say, its a great car, even from my limited experience!

[S-14boy]

I love mine to death. I get a lot of compliments, and a lot of inqureys about the headlights too (its a 98), there the stocks but no one has ever seemed to have seen them when i go to shops. But I love her and have not one complaint.

[C-Kwik]

I own a 98 now and owned a 91 before. Each has it's merits. My S13 was faster stock than my S14. 15.5 vs a 16.1 respectively. Teh S13 was lighter, more responsive and tossable. The S14 is a bit heavier, but feels sturdier. I prefer the S14 interior over the S13. The S13's passive shoulder belts were a PITA too. The 98 has airbags which is an added safety feature. I got complimented on both my cars. The S14 more now that it's turbo....but usually not for looks anymore....just more like...damn, what theh hell is in there?

[AJ-SPEC]

just bought my s14 SE this week, it's a damn sexy car! handles better than my eclipse, but it's slow as balls. I knew that going in though, my eclipse had at least 100hp more to the wheels, when it worked. as soon as I find out what's up with the power windows/locks, I'll be in buisness!
