Mmmmmm, red top power. If you're gonna jump on a bandwagon, do it as blatantly as possible. :ylsuper

KA24DE. Rebuilt KA24DE or 97/98 KA24DE with low miles if my engine dies prematurely. Cheapest, legal options. But even at that its a long stretch, as I don't see my engine dying anytime soon.

KA24E with 209k miles and running strong. But she's gonna be replaced with a 95' SE I think.. Turboed by WDRacing products or powered by RB25DET skyline if that doesn't pan out...

Considering my mind is fried at this time of the morning I can't be sure. Last I checked KA24E had higher revs then the DE. If that's the case, I'd prefer the E over the DE since I love a little rev(even if the last bit is really unuseable power wise).

But yea 91 or 93 don't matter too much. Though I heard 91' I think had hotter cams? Ahhh... Forget it. I can't think. Must sleep... Recharge

European Silvias come with so much more luxurious interiors. Post pics if possible. I saw one with sick stock interior. Looked like a Lexus.


Also you get an SR20DET haha :D

But uhm . .the differences are minor from our interiors. . (mine now looks a lot like a 200sx cause of my new wheel haha)

the steering wheel, passenger assist grip (read: oh **** grip), seatbelt extenders, and optional heated seats. ('course ya lose one of the two S14's cupholders, but I only use one anyway hehe)

OHH also, the center vents are different. . you have the option of closing those two vents off. . and then the button for rear fogs, and the different switch with rear wiper control.
