QS and KS?

[dades14]

Wassup. Well I'm not really familiar to nissans, i had a 94 civic hatch but it was stolen, and now i got a 96 s14, completely stock. And i was just wondering what a s14 QS and KS is?

[iwantans13]

I think you may be thinking of the japanese trim levels. They came in letters like that referencing cards (Queen, king, etc). It has no bearing on your car, provided its USDM. Welcome to nico!

"Aero" variants of the Q's and K's were offered that featured large rear wings and mild ground effects.

The S14 Silvia K's received a new version of the SR20DET, boasting a slight bump in power due to the implementation of Nissan's variable valve timing system, VTC, and a larger T28 turbocharger.

^^^^

Above taken form Wikipedia.com......you could have searched.

To get more specific info do some more searching.

Q's-N/A sr20de engine-Power options-LSD

K's-Turbocharged sr20 engine-All of the above

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong but that is the information that I know of, and I hope I helped.

[dades14]

Alright thanks alot. yeah that helped. And now and now another question. whats the difference in the colors of the silvia "s" hood badge?

[iwantans13]

I think they came with the differing trim levels and models. I have no idea specifically though.

[s14tan]

Maybe the same reason we have silver pakage (silver emblems) and Gold/Baller package (gold emblems)

Not sure, but I think it has to do with the color of the car.... Just an idea.

I have a white JDM hood that came with a green emblem...... maybe we can collect some info on that.

I have a white JDM hood that came with a green emblem......

<==== like that?

Id sooooo buy it from you...... you still got it?

[bt2s14]

Yes like that....I am currently using it though.

[s14tan]

Damn..

[kornaz]

QS = questions?KS = Kansas?

[dades14]

thanks alot for the help... but im still confused about the color of the hood badges.... so please help

[thefro526]

I might be wrong but i don't think that the hood emblem's colors mean anything. I think that they were just for style. I may be wrong though.

[bt2s14]

I might be wrong but i don't think that the hood emblem's colors mean anything. I think that they were just for style. I may be wrong though.

That is precisely what I was getting at...

[thefro526]

Oh my bad if I said something already stated but I'm starting to think that they don't mean much.

[D3stro]

I thought that one color is for Q's and the other one K's. There is even black ''S'' emblem too.

[bt2s14]

Well, I searched quite a bit and it seems as though Wikipedia actually has the

most info on the subject....Also this thread is on the first page of the Google

search "Silvia trim levels"...

With that said, there are 4 different colored Silvia hood badges:

3 K's:

2 Q's

K's and Q's emblems are for the sides, behind the doors. They denote trim level, engine, etc. (color is trim and letters are engines). S emblem in front also denotes trim level.

ok well I got a SE what would be the appropriate color for the front hood "s" badge?

[Chris28]

Since the SE was a USDM option, the correct hood badge would be the nissan logo. The S stands for Silvia, and since over here the car is a 240sx, there is no special hood ornament.

[dades14]

Ok thanks for that. So what would be the closest because I want to put Silvia badging on my 1996 SE and i want to know what would be the appropriate color for the front hood "s"?

[Camry]

the color of the badge isnt going to matter, it's not like its gonna be a silvia anyway.

[ThuG LyFe]

if u have a black car go w/ a black badge...or go w/ whatever u think will look nice. these only came in japan, so like others said w/e u put on wouldnt matter.

[s14tan]

get the k's cause you have a KA

[dades14]

Whats the difference between the black silvia letters for the trunk and the chrome ones?

[s14tan]

I highly doubt that there was a difference, just options for different color cars.

[bt2s14]

Whats the difference between the black silvia letters for the trunk and the chrome ones?

Searching showed that the colors of the trunk badges had no relevance....

But the Zenki s14 had a decal in the middle or badge on the right

Kouki had a badge but on the left.... I may have it mixed up but IIRC that's how it went

[otterman]

lurk much?

[dades14]

But the Zenki s14 had a decal in the middle or badge on the right

What decal?? Are you sure is on the right side? Because I've seen it on the left side.

[CMG]

Oh wow, everybody is getting so particular about badge colors and placement it's making my head hurt....time for another shot.
