Comprehensive Silvia/240sx Information Thread
The Nissan S-Chassis has been one of the most iconic series of cars to be produced by Nissan; this car has been through the trials and tribulations of time and motorsports. With over 250,000 sold in America alone, this car is still sought after by many.
The S-Chassis has its roots starting out with the CSP311 loosely based on the Fairlady Z, produced from 1965-1968, and then it moved on to the S10 Fastback ’75-’79 (Also referred to at the 200sx and the 180sx) and on to the S110 ’79-‘83 (Gazelle, or 200sx). The last S-Chassis to bear the 200sx name was the S12 produced from ’84-’88. --S13-- The S13 was the first car to roll off the line bearing Nissan’s new Silvia name. The car sported the CA18de and CA18det, a 1.8-liter inline 4 with 100HP non-turbocharged, with an intercooled turbocharged option that brought the total HP to 169, and was later equiped with the SR20de and the SR20det. The S13 was in full-scale production and on the showroom floors in 1989 in many countries such as Japan, Australia, New Zealand, America, and everywhere Europe. Options changed as the countries did. For the first time a car manufacturer used English playing cards as trim levels. A few differences were in the body styles, like Coupes came with a HUD as an option (Heads Up Display). Here’s a semi-complete list of trim options and models: S13 Production dates 1989-1998 (Stopped production in the U.S. in 1994) Body Styles: Hatch (180sx) Coupe Convertible (Vert) Trim Levels Available (Japan) : J’s (Jack) “A young man’s sports car” A Base model with the essentials. Q’s (Queen) “Fit for a Queen” With comfort and a refined experience in mind. K’s (King) “Made for a King” All the bells and whistles and a nice turbocharger. A’s (Ace) “Almighty” The purist of pure, no power options made to be a car on the track. Special Packages included: Club (Offered for the Q’s and K’s model) Diamond (Offered for the Q’s and K’s model) On top of the K's and Q's models, The Club and Diamond Selection packages came with specific options bundled together. For example, all K's Club Selections came with projector headlamps, a rear spoiler, and 15" aluminum wheels. And all Q's models came out with Automatic Climate Control. Silvia Diamond Selection: Available on Q's or K's (CA18DE) or (CA18DET) Availale with either 5-speed manual or automatic. Package includes: Dual Projector headlights with fog lights Rear spoiler Automatic climate control LSD (on K's) CD player 15" alloy wheels Diamond badging Individual options: Chin spoiler LSD (on Q's) ABS HICAS II Leather steering wheel Leather interior Moonroof Silvia Club's selection: Available on Q's (SR20DE) or K's (SR20DET) Available with either 5-speed manual or automatic Package includes: Triple projector headlights with fog light Rear spoiler Automatic climate control Rear 3-point seat belts Side impact beams CD player Individual options: Sunroof ABS LSD Leather steering wheel Leather seating surfaces Super Hicas Pearl clearcoat over any of the offered paint colors In the U.S. the trim levels were much more simple. Trim Levels (U.S.): Base XE SE LE --S14-- The S14 was the new line-up of the Silvia's to be produced, all new sleek body lines fixed headlights only, and came in a coupe. The new Silvia came with a redesigned SR20de and SR20det featuring the new variable valve timing by Nissan and boasting a few more HP compaired to the S13. A few trim selections were removed as noted below. Nissan designed the S14 to be more luxuious but still have the sports car feel. Nissan also introduced their new Silvia with a 5 lug option for 1995. Trim Levels: J's Q's K's * A's was not offered with the S14 Special Packages: Club mostly the same as the package for the S13 K's and Q's offered 5 lug as an option with the club package. * Diamond package not offered for the S14 Aero Variant added (Navan ground effect kit, and 3pc. wing) Chassis Codes: '88-'90 “S13” Silvia CA18DET '90-'91 “RS13” 180SX CA18DET (R for Hatch back) '91-'93 “PS13” Silvia SR20DET (P for SR) '91-'98 “RPS13” 180SX SR20DET (no distinction between the two different minor model change, last minor change was the inclusion of the double round lights and a more squarish front bumper.) '91-'93 “KPS13” Silvia (K for Super Hicas) '91-'93 “KRPS13” 180SX '89-'90 “HS13” 240SX KA24E (H for KA24E) '89-'90 “RHS13” 240SX Hatch back '91-'94 “MS13” 240SX Coupe '91-'93 “RMS13” 240SX Hatch back (M for KA24DE) '91-'93 “KRMS13” 240SX Hatch back w/ Super Hicas '91-'93 “KMS13” 240SX w/ Super Hicas (Canadian market only). '94-'98 “S14” Silvia SR20DET '94-'98 “CS14” Silvia w/ Super Hicas '95-'98 “S14” 240SX KA24DE (no specific S14 code for KA24DE) Refrences: www.wikipedia.org www.jdmtalk.com www.240sx.org www.houston240sx.com Still a work in progress...
