hey guys ive been pondering this question and i kinda feel that it is safe to say that the 1991 240sx is the quickest year for the sx ever made. It has the light s13 body style, DOHC motor and ive heard the best set of cams from any other year. I know that is a very extremely minimal difference between the other years. But technically is it safe to say that 91' was the year! correct me if im wrong and give your opinions!

Hey Nismo freak, my s14 base model was made in 7/94, does this make it a 94.5? This is the first time i have heard that a s14 is lighter than an s13 or about a blueprinted motor from nissan. Is there somewhere that I can read more about this, thanks

Will this moronic BS ever stop? ALL 91-early 93 cams ARE THE SAME. They are IDENTICAL in every way. The FSMs show no differences, and I've miced a pair of 91 and 93 cams side by side, there's nothing to prove this myth at all. No two S13s will be any faster than each other if equipped the same, not factoring in that every motor has different tolerances, and may make a few more than another. And an OE blueprinted motor? Come on guys seriously. That's like the kid who sweared to me he had the "93 special edition high compression motor" sporting a shaved head and 12.1 compression, putting out 185hp stock, no amount of common sense would disprove him so I raced him and killed him easily by 6 car lengths. Please remember the 240sx.org FAQ is OUTDATED, and a lot of the info once 'thought' to be correct is wrong.

thats weird, the link you posted was by nismofreak as well and the info showed that the s13 is lighter, like I always thougt, but then in this thread he says the very first s14's were actually lighter, So I dont know. I have always seen that the s13's are lighter so maybe it was a typo?

http://www.angelfire.com/pa3/ford/performance1.htm claims that the 91 is the fastest, although i dont know how entirely acurate this source is. As far as blueprinted and high compression oe motors, i highly doubt that as it would be a pain in the butt to change a motor design for .5 a year or 1 year on nissan's part, and if they did do that, then why didnt they keep that motor from then on, or put it in anything els?

i say that source ain't accurate. it lists my 94 Q, well the heavier t version which is same motor and transmission, as being as fast as a 90 Q, which would not be right. 90's had different 1st and 2nd gear ratios (better accel) and more power, even though they were rated the same.

Ah yes, the elusive 1995 240SX SE-R. Great car, but I guess anything is if you dream it up. I'd be wary of that site in it's entirety.

where the FUdUCK did those people come up with 240sx Se-R? what kind of crack do they smoke before dinner? who would trust a directory with the name "ford" in the first place?

And the amazing 240sx SE-R is .3 seconds faster in 0-60 AND 1/4mile times!!

But according to that website, the "SE-R" 240 is the fastest 1/4 mile of ALL 240's... and your 91 has the fastest 0-60. Well, I'm sold... time to sell my s14 andd look for a 91!:rolleyes

Alot of people have heard of the so-called freak motors... I've found two of them and they are both in base model 94.5 S14s. They run abnormally strong and one had the dyno numbers and track times to prove it. Supposedly the story behind it is that Nissan re-designed the KA in 94 and some of the first units off the block where blueprinted and tested and later put into 240s. This allowed them to someone perfect the molds and castings for the KA. If you figure that only a select handful where made then its very possible.
