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

- čas přidán 4. 06. 2024
- With a history in motorsports, drifting, and pop culture; the S-Chassis is simply iconic. With seemingly infinite variations such as the S14, the S13, the S15, the Zenki, the Kouki, 180sx, 240sx, Nissans, and Silvias, it can be confusing at times. That's why we made this video. Let's break down the S-Chassis platform.

If only I could get one that wasn’t destroyed already lol
Haha it's almost impossible to find a clean one. There's a 100% stock coupe owned by an older lady down the road from my house...and she refuses to sell it! - Sam
@@FitmentIndustries I've seen a couple around me - they're daily driven, garage kept, pristine condition, and stock.
Most of them on the road (or by the road) are pretty rough at best.
You can it's just gonna cost you an arm and a leg.
Should have bought in the early 2000s like I did. In 2002, I paid $2500 for a 1990 CA powered British 200sx. In 2003, I paid $2000 for a one owner 1991 240sx.
Buy one for cheap and fix it up?
Glad to see the s12 get a little screen time. Also it was the only s chassis that was available with a V6 😎
👌👌👌 -Edgar
same v6 from the z
Didn't get the s12 in the USA?
@@WarriorsPhoto Yeah that Silvia was rebadged as the 200SX.
@@xoulmannn I remember those. Totally an 80's car. 😂
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. 🤙
I got a S14 Zenki as well with the SR20 DET engine
czcams.com/video/Xz2Fkg-oWrM/video.html
I agree bro I have a 96 zenki best looking imo 💪🏽
@@jjfrmeastside3767 absolutely! I really love the navan or 270R front bumper on the s14 too
Are you in the USA tho bc mf be wanting like 6 gran for a molested one here💀
@@ididntseeaamvwiththissongs3472 I picked it up from north texas. It was someone's project that just sat. They bought it, lost the key and let it sit.
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
Here in EU we got it as 200sx also I believe. S13 with pop-up lights and S14 Kouki and zenki are both called 200sx. Most S13 here are with CA18, some have SR20. All S14s have the SR20
The s13, s14, and s15 were also sold in europe as the 200sx
@@jonasadolfsen521 s15 wasn’t sold in EU at all
@@gavinhackett9326 thats right my bad
From where do you guys get these informations I want more
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.
The 270R is a crazy car coming from the factory. Maybe we should do a video with special Nismo versions of cars??? - Sam
@@FitmentIndustries that would be a really interesting topic to talk about.
@@FitmentIndustries you could also give the Nismo 300gt an honorable mention since it was only a one-off by nissan. It was a yellow s14 kouki with 300hp sr20det. Basically a baby 400r
Another "factory" silvia that's extremely rare is the p-ride spec-z made by a small dealership with a design reminiscent of an early z
It's "popular", but with a limited run, obviously nobodies going to have one.
Well, knew most of it, but you cleared a few misinformations I had, great vid :)
Thank you!!! - Sam
Same
Agreed, broken down and explained very well! 👍
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.
Marine?
@@luckduck5031 I was but during that time frame I was a kid over there when my dad was active duty.
@@eastcoastken thats awesome man I'm stationed in south Carolina now
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).
Good additions! I wanted to really nerd out and list all of the different versions but I couldn't do an hour long video :( The Autech Version is one of my favorites...super overlooked! - Sam
thats almost too much detail because i could add that:
there was also an "almighty" model s13 silvia as well as diamond, club and special editions
Type 1, type 2, type r, type g, type s and type x 180sx's as well as ca18 in those as well as only that engine in the EU
s14 had Qs and Ks model and type s within Qs/Ks, in Aus there were luxury, sports and limited.
both s14 and s15 had aero and non aero models
and s15 having different special edition interesting interior colours
but most of all, the s12 hatch is underrated and awesome
see my point, too much detail
if we're adding more details - s13 convertible in japan was made by Autech, and all 240sx convertibles actually left factory as coupes, and were converted into verts by American Specialty Cars
Also can't forgot the Nismo 270r either! What a piece of art
@@allmyt1 also this one-off nismo 300gt
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.
Probably from Canada
Isn't jt
Isn't it funny how your average know nothing car person will see a g wagon, Lambo etc on the road and freak out when people like me and you are like meh. Now if I saw an s15, R32, fd, E46 M3, clk gtr on the road I would freak out.
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.
Jordan knows his stuff
@@doug774 literally a meme post. Still kinda true though, the amount of versions and variants is insane. You got guys running modified R and Z front ends on the S.
Also, there's the S14.9 like Forrest Wang's demo car w/ carbon kevlar or Daniel Stuke's FD comp car. 😁
Has someone truly done an S15.3?
All of this is so insanely good explained. Thank you ❤
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 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.
This was the ultimate guide to the s chassis..learned a lot
This video actually helped a lot, thank you
very clear video! i was so confused on what’s the difference, so thank you!
Sam is just a wealth of knowledge! -Edgar
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
Yes, what a waste :/
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!
Thank you! ❤️
Great job, great video!
Keiichi Tsuchiya did confirmed that Nissan is working on the next S-chassis (S16) on one of his CarPrime English CZcams channel few months ago
I did hear that too...just kinda curious what that's going to be. My bet like most people is something electric. - Sam
Probably a Crossover
@@driftingbrandonc.6480 Oh God please no.. Noooooo!!!!
this is exactly what i needed, just getting into jdm cars & wondering & been looking into it a lot recently 😯
That's awesome! JDM cars are my favorite. If you have questions be sure to ask! - Sam
You should watch initial d, Fast and furious those will get you into jdm even more
@@maradonuh yeah i’ve watched fast & furious when i was a little kid but i don’t remember shit really but i’m looking to watch it again & i’ll understand it more. initial D i heard of it so might watch that also pretty soon! thanks
Thank you for explaining this really well. I was so confused on all of this. =D
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 👏
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.😎
That's funny. I started playing the lottery a few months ago to maybe be able to afford a decent 180sx, S14 kouki or S15 before there are none left. Fingers crossed.
Imported my Kouki S14 with a non turbo SR20 back to the states after being stationed in Japan. I love her.
Perfectly timed vid, I’m picking up a mint nearly stock S14 in 2 days! 😁
Congrats man! Hope it all goes well. -Edgar
if you get it welcome to the broke boi club lmao
Fuck yeah dude congrats!
Woah wait, why did I miss this?! I needed this video mad bad
Well now you've found it 💙
Totally missed the 200sx that was sold in Australia, New Zealand and Europe
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
That's wild 🤯
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
Love this style of video
Tried something new for us, glad you liked it!
I remember teaching this to myself while i was bored in class using wikipedia lol. glad you made a video
Where was this video 2 years ago lol thanks for making this
Great video!
Thank you! 🤙
Well done 👏🏻
I just bought an rb for my s13 so excited to put it in!
RB Powahhhhhh! - Sam
Love the way they look. I wanted to find reliable and more affordable cars that look similar to the s13/14/15
Thank u this was very helpful
🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾 glad we can help homie! -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries 😁😁😁😁😁
Good video👍🏼
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)
Would love to see a video on the different skyline R chassis since I own a HR34 R34
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
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
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. 🤟
Honestly it comes down to what someone is willing to pay for it
EDGAAAAR! Been long since I talked to you :)
WHAT UPPPP -EDGAR
Finally someone made a proper video about thus. The whole thing with the s13 is confusing
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
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
Wish y’all wouldda touched on the ka24det , they fun asf
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.
Would it be better to buy the new Nissan 400 z or a nice car like a Honda s2000 or R33 gtr?
Don’t forget the s15 convertible
S15 varietta :)
Would love to see a video of my own car
🤘🤘🤘 -Edgar
I have an S14a Z-edition, which was a limited German edition - still nearly stock and well preserved!
I would love to see a picture of it! DM us on IG!
5:27
The ka24 with 7 psi did ~240 whp with 255 wtq ....
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.
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
I wish they’d bring back the S-Chassis.
🙏🙏🙏
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
Hopefully you find the parts need soon! 🙏
Thank you❤
Got my 98 240sx in 2000 and still have it in my garage.
Missed the best conversion, the strawberry face 180sx. I have one with an RB26 in it.
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.
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
im mad about that too!
S13 was never officially sold in Australia, they are all grey imports from Japan here. We did get the S14 and S15 as the 200sx though
@@jarradwalsh6829 true, i readed somewhere they wasnt sold in australia
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 love the s chassis content
Thank you!!!
Building an s14 rn, putting a neo sr20 in it. Such a pain finding a head tho
It’s getting to the point where you can either fully build a ka24det or buy a stock sr20det
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
One day, one day I'll have one of these. Such a dream car
This video makes me appreciate my s14
1:11 boat horn audio inserted here
5:52 The car is from ZF Garage. A greek CZcams channel with great content
Sneak peak of mightycarmods!✌️
The square trunck on a s13 coupe is timeless to me
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 90s nissan sentra se-r actually had the Sr20 in the usa
im thinking of getting a car to turn into a drift car. i was thinking s14 or s15, gtr r32 or rx7. which is better?
S14 or S15 for my personal opinion
@@FitmentIndustries thank you 🙏
My soul will be sold when I got the option to trade for the S13
I like the 240sx s13 hatch and maybe the kouki s14… they are just bigger in comparison though.
Anyone know why every time I try to go to fitment industry website it keeps telling me message forbidden
Shoot us an email at shop@fitmentindustries.com man! -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries nevermind. I just got home on my wifi and it looks like it's back to normal
7:10 is that the 180sx from throttl? Looks the same 1:1
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
Great points! 🙏
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.
That's really good information to know!
I’ve got an s15 i daily drive in AZ under cdn insurance!
Very nice! 💪💪💪 -Edgar
Thanks you i figured it out i thought that a 14 was a 240
Do the z chassis next!!
Ooo, good call!
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...
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
Prices on everything is wild! -Edgar
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
Yup, I should have put that in there....very rare but it did exist! - Sam
s15 owner here, there know as the varietta
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.
I found a hatch that runs and is a 5 speed. I got to sell some ish.. then I can start in!!
In Japan don't quote me but I believe they didn't sell the 240 front with the coupe style tail lights it was all done as a conversion or facelift as they call it in japan
I will have to look into that!
The S13 will forever be my dream car
Coupe or hatch?
@@abedawg94 both
Yup, it had been one of mine as well! - Sam
I recently got a coupe
