What Is The Difference Between ALL Nissan 240sx? (S13,S14,S15) 

If only I could get one that wasn’t destroyed already lol

Glad to see the s12 get a little screen time. Also it was the only s chassis that was available with a V6 😎

I paid $2500 for my unmolested 95 S14 five years ago. Still working on it, full suspension rebuild has been done. The zenki S14 is my favorite schassis. 🤙

S15s were sold outside of Japan as a 200sx also in NZ and Aus Specs were similar to the japan market but the spec r had a t28 turbo from an S14a so it made roughly 200PS rather than the japan 250PS

Well, knew most of it, but you cleared a few misinformations I had, great vid :)

I stopped in the middle of this video to comment…. Well done guys, idk why there is not more in-depth S-Chassis videos. The car has great history and most of us were around when the legacy started getting good!

I'm working on 2 cars right now. A 94 Del Sol and a 95 Eclipse for my kids. Once I'm done I'm getting me an S14. I lived in Okinawa Japan from 1996-2001 and grew up with these cars. I even seen someone stuff an RB26 into a Miata.

You could have also included the Nismo 270R, a Nismo tuned S14 with the actually strongest factory version of the SR20DET producing around 270hp. But i guess since it was limited to 50 cars it is not very popular.

Don't forget about the S13.4 13.5, 14.3, 14.5, 15.3, 15.4. But my favorite variant would have to be the Odyvia. Technically we got the hatch and Onevias. Never got the fixed headlights here.

Forgot to mention the 240sx s13 came with 2 different front ends, pignose (single cam) and sharknose (dual cam). Also the s14 was produced all the way until the year 2000 for the European market. S15 came in 4 notable variations. Spec R with sr20det, spec S sr20de, Autech Version 200hp sr20de with 6-speed transmission and the Varrietta (retractable hardtop).

All of this is so insanely good explained. Thank you ❤

I saw an S15 here in the states back in 2017. I was headed to Baltimore from DC. It was white with black interior just cruising on the highway.

I have an 92 s13 SE that I was building and kept all original pieces I changed out (body kit, exhaust, quick release, wheels, new paint, etc.) but the starter went out and I got unmotivated to work on it. This video makes me appreciate it more like I did when I first got it. Maybe I’ll get it out of the garage.

The s chassis is almost exactly the same as the skyline. The few major things is the hump on the floor for the AWD, the front subframe to clear the front half shafts, and the higher shock towers.

I came up in the tuner scene of the late-90s and early-00s. I can remember watching early vids of the S chassis cars from Japan and immediately falling in love. Something about about their sleek look and power packed form factor that made it hard to deny. By far, the S15 is my personal favorite. Guess it’s time to start saving or playing the lottery, so I can take advantage of one once they become “legally” available for export.😎

This video actually helped a lot, thank you

You forgot to mention that both the S13 and S14 are called "200SX" on Europe, the S13 with the CA18DET and the S14/S14a with the SR20DET

This was the ultimate guide to the s chassis..learned a lot

I wish they’d bring back the S-Chassis.

this is exactly what i needed, just getting into jdm cars & wondering & been looking into it a lot recently 😯

very clear video! i was so confused on what’s the difference, so thank you!

Great job, great video!

Great video!

Thank you for explaining this really well. I was so confused on all of this. =D

Imported my Kouki S14 with a non turbo SR20 back to the states after being stationed in Japan. I love her.

bro ngl as a young car enthuist, and with a dad who knows nothing about japenese cars specifically, this video cleared up so much, cheers bro

Woah wait, why did I miss this?! I needed this video mad bad

Good video👍🏼

My favourite feature would be the exchangeability between platforms for the car. It was basic but you could take parts from 300zx,q45,j30,sentra and make the thing epic. When I first got into them a decade ago here in canada you could buy a car for $1000 and a sr20 swap for 900-1500 all day. S14 sr20’s we’re around 1800 and the s15 was around 2200 with the 6 speed. Rb20’s we’re 800 bucks and the rb26 with the trans was only $2500

Great Video 👍✨I just wished you would talk about the euro 200sx and s chassis and specs and exct as well. Over all a Amazing video 👏

Keiichi Tsuchiya did confirmed that Nissan is working on the next S-chassis (S16) on one of his CarPrime English RU-vid channel few months ago

Love this style of video

Totally missed the 200sx that was sold in Australia, New Zealand and Europe

Where was this video 2 years ago lol thanks for making this

Thank u this was very helpful

I remember teaching this to myself while i was bored in class using wikipedia lol. glad you made a video

Perfectly timed vid, I’m picking up a mint nearly stock S14 in 2 days! 😁

Well done 👏🏻

EDGAAAAR! Been long since I talked to you :)

Just picked up a S14 rolling body, cant wait to drive it

How come no one talks about the s12 !!?! That thing looks sick …. I’m sad I never knew the heritage

Love the way they look. I wanted to find reliable and more affordable cars that look similar to the s13/14/15

Great video, another small thing was the s13 sr20 is non vct and the s14/s15 sr20 has vct (notch top as you guys call it in the states)

I just bought an rb for my s13 so excited to put it in!

Just filmed a s15 drifting last week at Street WarZ. Asked owner about it and even he told me flat out he doesn’t know everything about the platform.

Further we move from S13 to S15, less details we got. I would really like to hear what is the difference in chassis between those model. All of them are S-chassis, but they are a little different.

Finally someone made a proper video about thus. The whole thing with the s13 is confusing

Great video man!! Would you be able to help with figuring out what a 91 Silvia here in the states would be worth or know someone who would. It’s super clean with 60k miles on it. Mostly all original except for suspension, wheels and a steering wheel. Any more info would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great videos. You just gained a subscriber. 🤟

I have an S14a Z-edition, which was a limited German edition - still nearly stock and well preserved!

Don’t forget the s15 convertible S15 varietta :) Would love to see a video of my own car

Thank you❤

Would love to see a video on the different skyline R chassis since I own a HR34 R34

I’m so glad I had a chance to buy S15-R Prices are climbing up and it is the best investment i’ve ever made, well thats until I started to fix it up and decided to do restoration, where I got to the point where I’m no longer happy about prices skyrocketing. Parts are getting extremely overpriced, and it seems i’m stuck for a long time now ahahaha None the less I own car i dreamt since I was a kid and can’t get any happier than that

Can y’all make a vid about the 340i or b58 and your thoughts ??👀

make a video of all the different sr20 in depth! PLEASE

Sakura was released in mexico but it was 1.8 carbureted, rear drum brakes and 4 speed manual. In the US, 200sx had 2.0, EFI, even a turbo version but i believe that was released only in japan

5:27 The ka24 with 7 psi did ~240 whp with 255 wtq ....

i love the s chassis content

Got my 98 240sx in 2000 and still have it in my garage.

Sneak peak of mightycarmods!✌️

My soul will be sold when I got the option to trade for the S13

Wish y’all wouldda touched on the ka24det , they fun asf

i would also mention 200sx variatns and chuki/zenki/kouki 180sx fronts aka sharknose, pignose and x-type maybe even mention odyvia, s13.4, s13.5, s14.5 etc. but otherwise it was a great summary

I see a lot of people on the internet saying these cars are NOT good daily drivers but I still want one and just do some light mods here and there

The s13 also came in europe, but there it was i think only as hatchback. But the now its called a 200sx but it only came with a ca18det

Unfortunately like usual it doesn't mention the 200sx which is quite upsetting to leave out the s13 that was sold almost everywhere else from england to germany to sweden to australia to even south africa and the s15 was sold under 200sx

I'm in the process of restoring and upgrading my RS13U (CA18DET). Engine is out, disassembled down to head and block, will take it to a shop later. I have almost took out the whole interior except the wires, that's next. It will be a bare chassis pretty much just with suspension left on. Then off to get cleaned up, protected and resprayed. After that take off the whole suspension, clean it, sand it, protect, paint, put back together with new bushings etc, 5 lug conversion, upgraded brakes, looking at 300ZX ones, def one of the most popular upgrades. Stock brakes are not good even for a stock car, give it some additional power...yeah no. Then tidy up the interior, with all new wiring throughout the car and standalone ecu. All that without even mentioning the engine and driveline stuff yet + different details of previous points. It's gonna be and already is my own labor of love, passion, perfection and attention to detail where the car will be pretty much like it came of the production line if not better in terms being a fine restomod (or at least I think so). But that feeling unfortunately sometimes dissipates and comes back because all of that is gonna take a lot of time as money is a major problem, so I try to do everything myself and esp. when it comes to buying parts, and having them shipped and maybe imported if necessary.

This video makes me appreciate my s14

This is pretty much my answer to any random that asks what my car is at the gas station lol usually they’re gone before I finish

It’s getting to the point where you can either fully build a ka24det or buy a stock sr20det

Would it be better to buy the new Nissan 400 z or a nice car like a Honda s2000 or R33 gtr?

Missed the best conversion, the strawberry face 180sx. I have one with an RB26 in it.

Alot of people don't know or speak about. The Silvia was originally designed as the poor mans Skyline. Now you can get them for around same price every now and then.

One day, one day I'll have one of these. Such a dream car

You forgot us Europeans, here the S13 with pop-up lights is called 200SX. I understand why it's 240sx in the states because of the KA24. But here in Europe we have both engines, CA18 and SR20s. CA18 being alot more common tho. Edit: in many car dealer websites even the S14 is labeled as 200SX.

1:11 boat horn audio inserted here

5:52 The car is from ZF Garage. A greek RU-vid channel with great content

I've never paid more than $1500 for an s13 and I've had 4 all of them either super clean or 7 out of 10. The prices kids are willing to pay is insane

The square trunck on a s13 coupe is timeless to me

FINALLY.. the ONE car channel that says Kouki correctly. It's not Cookie. nor is it "koooookeyyyy" like how thatdudeinblue says it. it's KOUKI.

Owned 3 hatch S13's in my life, would get again again and again if I could.. Good review, but it's rare and may need to include the droptop S15.. I forgot the name, but I'm sure someone will comment it here! :D

Do the z chassis next!!

Pls make vid nissan r34 r chassis types

So I have lived in Japan for a couple years now and bought a S14 Silvia Autech K’s MF-T. It’s pretty obscure and difficult to find information on. If anyone has info please hit me up I’d be glad to find out more about it!

I like the 240sx s13 hatch and maybe the kouki s14… they are just bigger in comparison though.

Building an s14 rn, putting a neo sr20 in it. Such a pain finding a head tho

The 90s nissan sentra se-r actually had the Sr20 in the usa

Shouldve mentioned in Europe our cars were the 200sx in the S13 chassis, So in the S13 in the UK came with the CA18DET and SR20DET, S13 has 180sx, 200sx, 240sx, Sileighty, Onevia in hatchback, coupe and vert versions plus the smaller and rarer other production models like those from Japan

Id never sell my s13 hatch ever.... 🙏🔥🔥🔥 the fact adams cream s13 hatch is used as an example in this video is so cool its such a clean example 👌

Check out our S-Chassis Build in our Channel.

Just picked up an 89 s13 last week. Drove 6 hours to find a sub 8k running and driving one

The S13 will forever be my dream car

I’m so in love with Nissan

S12 mentioned!!!!

I love my stock S15 Spec R

you cant figure out the names and engines? heres an easy way to remember, 180sx = CA18 S13 200sx = SR20 S13,S14,S15 (aus) 240sx = KA24 S13,S14 most nissan car names correspond to their engine size like 300zx 350z and 370z hence why they dont call the new Z the 400z

The prices skyrocketed so much.. you could find a decnt one for 6K a year ago.. now can't find shells for 12K . BRZ /GT86 it is...

In 95 my grandma bought an s14 and she kept throughout my childhood. I wish I had been able to buy it before they sold it because it was in pristine condition with low miles

Proud owner of a S13 Silvia Q and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned ✊🏼 s chassis forever

Zenki S14💜
