Torn between s13 and s14
I have cash in hand to buy my 1st 240sx. But I'm torn between and s13 and the s14, I love em both and don't know which one to buy.
So any input on why you chose an s13 or an s14 might help me lean towards one and buy it already lol. Thanks!!! KEN |

Can't let people decide for you.
S13 = cheaper to buy. Easy access to parts from local junk yards. S14 = slightly more expensive. A bit of a pain coming across parts. |

+1 on the parts, lots of people here have 13s. i personally have the 14 cuz i love airbags lol. kidding about the airbags, but of course having a newer car doesn't hurt.

s13 = great track car, many parts available cheap. more parts available cheaper.
s14 = great daily driver, good for track but parts are not as cheap as s13.

I just want to know what people love about their s13 or s14, and maybe it will help me make my own decision. That's all I'm really looking for. But it seems like the best argument people are giving so far is how cheap and available parts are for the s13. |

if your going to drift or track your car go with s13
if your going to have it as a first car, drive it around town, slightly modify it and have fun while looking pimp - s14 |

Why decide? I'd just look for one to buy.. you'll have more to choose from
I wanted a 97-98 Kouki, when I first started looking I got into Zenkis but I only wanted a 95 for OBD1 found a near pefect 95 soon after slicktop ( wanted ) 5 lug ( mine was base 4-lug ) white ( love ) manual from factory ( yes ) I used to live in Rancho Cucamonga btw

I have a 95 s14. I kinda wish i would have gotten a s13. I think there amazing with the s15 or s14 conversion. I just like the hatch. Both are great track cars and can look great.
You cant go wrong with a 240.... |

Exactly wat i was gonna say... Parts for the S13 is cheaper but the S14 is newer and a lil more pimpin in my opinion I had enough for the S14, but I stayed with the S13 since i have more experience with them and it's cheaper to get parts for it.

ive known soo many people who got SOHC s13 because they where cheap. Its the new 89 honda civic of rwd cars lmao.
A chassis is still a chassis and your planning to build off it.

also keep in mind the s14 is a little bigger and heavier than s13. i have a 93 hatch that feels a little faster just cause its lighter but both cars are fun no matter what!

Wow, I suggest you think hard and make up your mind. We cannot make up your mind for you.
Why do I say this? I have never seen so much indecision over parts and cars as I have seen in this community these days. Do you guys have minds of your own? Or do you just look for convenience regardless of quality? Look for someone to tell you what you must do. Getting peoples opinions is fine but shit man you have to make the call. Picking a car is very personal thing, you are the one that's is going to live with it not us. Go out and drive both cars, figure out which one you enjoy driving more, then make your purchase.

Buy an S13 save yourself the trouble and pain in the ass of finding parts... just for a door panel of a S14 it can cost you up to 100 dollars while an s13 one like 15 bucks big difference i should have gone s13
