Thanks.Cody

It's not still being made, but every year it was made it was rwd. The s15 never made it to america for sale but even in japan they stopped selling the s15, and it was a rwd using the sr20det up till it stopped being made. There's still debate on the s16, if it even ever comes out.

89-90 = ka24e, pignose with flip ups (s13)91-94 = ka24de, different nose but still flip ups, 94 was vert only (s13)95-96 = ka24de, projector lights, the rounder ones (zenki) (s14)96-98 = ka24de, projector lights, evil eyes (kouki) (s14)

That's all that was sold in america, you can import stuff but that's all you'll find here. Correct me if I'm wrong on anything, I'm sure I am.

i heard that there was a certain version of the 240sx that was front wheel in the s14. but it was rarely made. i can't say what version it was, but the conversation i heard it in caught me off guard. i had no clue they did that.

then you heard wrong my good man. all 240sx = rwd. now if were talking about the s12 which was a rwd labeled a 200sx, then somehow the name was then used to label the more sportier sentra that came labeled as the 200sx and is fwd. this is the only "SX" labeled car that i know of so far that change from a rwd to a fwd.

people are so used to FWD now. Burning out in a FWD car just isn't the same .
