bit off topic but its time for small lesson about Silvias.
S13 Silvia, 180SX and Varietta convertible
The sleek, modern lines of the S13 series heralded the entry in 1988 of the CA18DET. Unfortunately, the engine made less power (174 hp) than the outgoing FJ20DET. Packing leading edge technology, electric everything, HICAS four wheel steering and an optional Heads-Up Display into a compact 1100 kg frame, the S13 won numerous awards in Japan. In mid-1991 Nissan sought to cut manufacturing costs, by replacing the complex to build CA18 with the SR20DE and DET. This engine is Nissan's bread and butter four cylinder, displacing 2.0 litres and coming in naturally aspirated and turbo variants. The SR20DET has a massive aftermarket, being supported by all the major Japanese tuning houses. The SR20 engines continue to power Nissan's late model Silvias, as well as other cars such as Pulsars and Bluebirds. North Americans received the much less exciting single cam KA24E engine for 1989 and 1990, and the dual cam KA24DE for 1991 to 1993.
Later models: S14, S14a, and S15
The 1993 S14 gained an SR20 engine featuring Nissan's variable valve timing. Japanese-spec models got a Garrett T28BB turbo; Australia recieved the vanilla T28. Front nose styling was refreshed in 1997. Japanese cars had 220 hp, Aus-spec 197 hp. The United State's 240SX continued with the KA24DE.
The S15 debuted in 1999. Essentially an evolution of the original 200SX of seven years earlier, but available with a 6 speed manual.
The SR20DET responds very well to mods; exhaust and boost will net 270 hp or more, up from the stock Aus figure of 197 hp. The S15 was never introduced into the U.S. market.
