Im starting a thread on peoples opinions of which series of the 240sx is better!

rules: . must pick a side s13 or s14. state why you like that car better using performance, looks, handling etc.. pictures are highly recomended!

. Try to use as many facts about the car as possible!





OR

Let the battle begin!!

lame thread!

but id roll with S13 any and every day! love how it looks. u can always get performance, once u start building it.

S14's are nice too, and yea they are newer than the S13 and have newer stuff. still dont like it as much. will get one probably for DD. S13 gonna be my track.

S14 all the way.More room, more aggressive looking aka the kouki, newer, better arranged center console, depending on the S13 better engine, some were 5 lug. The list goes on.

Nuff muthafuuking said.

Performance differences between the S13 and S14 is negligible.

room as in space to put things or room for the driver when seated in the car? this is pretty arguable, my friend is 6'4" and 300lbs, he can easily fit in any s13 but s14s are uncomfortable for him

Oddly enough it's the exact opposite for me. The back seats definitely have more room though.

i like the styling of them both.(besides zenkis) S13s have a lot more head room and the hatch has the most cargo space. But the s14 seats are more comfortable. S13 body parts are usually cheaper. S14 are 5 lug. Theres a lot to argue for both of them.

You had to start this s*** didn't ya??? I love them all, but each one would have its own strategy as far as powertrain choices. Like I wouldn't slap an SR in a S14, and so on

I've had the luxury (ha! luxury my asss) of driving both the s13 and s14 (both stock and modified)... and can easily say that the s14 is almost everything the s13 is not: more elbow room, stiffer chassis, more comfortable, hell, even their KA's are stronger and have less junk than the s13 ka's

s13 front ends are so flimsy its unbelievable. the engine bay back to the c-pillars need aftermarket reinforcement badly... Take it to the track one day and you'll be lucky if you can close your doors perfectly at the end of the day.

but when it comes down to it... I ABSOLUTELY love the look of the kouki 180sx... its the reason why I went s13 in the first place... for the looks. Of course, its a subjective statement... but c'mon.. its like driving a mini corvette or something. Gotta love pop-ups or any other front end too low for legally fixed headlights.

S13 = Track Beater

Large Amount Of Cheap (OEM) Parts.

S14 = DD

Looks More Solid And Luxurious.
