oh wow!! tats hell lot of info and things for me to learn man..*gulp*Originally posted by diabolus:$51k should be the price for a COEed S13. They are basically all tagged with the 200SX badge, and the S13,14 and 15 are basically the generations and is used only in the JDM(japan domestic models) models.
JDM S13 is running on the 1.8l CA18DE and CA18DET engines churning out 180bhp in stock conditions. The JDM S13 initially has only rectangular headlights while the pop up lights were only meant for the Nth America market. Only when the S14 was launch the S13 was renamed a PS13 "180SX" (with pop-up lights)
S14 is running on the 2.0L SR20DET engine equipped with Nissan's variable valve timing churning out 220ps.What is rare about this car is that it is one of the last few vestiges of the Front Engine/Rear Wheel Drive (FR) platform of most traditional sports cars.
The S15 comes in 2 models, Spec-S and Spec-R.
Power output of the updated SR20DET is 250HP for the manual and 220HP for the Auto.Comes with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Just some info on the Silvias....btw...they do come in NA versions in Japan.
cheers!
ps:the 350Z is also called the Fairlady.

okok, i go one by one, the 350Z is also call the fair lady ha?? ok, i heard of the fair lady before, but didn't know 350Z means the same thing..hehe...
wat is NA version??
so S13 is also call the nissan 180SX??
oh man, how do you all know so much?? i wanna ask questions, but dun even know where to start from, pretty tough for a gal to understand all the technical terms...
but i'm gonna digest slowly...
any easier way of putting it?? *gulp*
so isn't the turbo one more powerful??Originally posted by diabolus:NA = Naturally Aspirated, meaning theres no forced induction of air from outside.
Turbo/Supercharger = Forced induction. Meaning a device(the charger) is used to draw air from outside into the engine.
Yes...the 350Z is also known as the Fairlady.
Yes..the S13 si also known as the 180SX.
Both the S14 and the S15 are tagged with the 200SX outside of japan. They are known as the Silvia S14/S15 in Japan.Originally posted by keisha:oh, and if S13 is 180 SX, then S14 and S15 leh?? has 200SX got anything to do with these 2 models??
so all tis time i see 200SX is actually what they call S14 AND S15 then..Originally posted by diabolus:Both the S14 and the S15 are tagged with the 200SX outside of japan. They are known as the Silvia S14/S15 in Japan.
So in Sgp...its the 200SX.
DOHC = Double OverHead Camshaft.
SOHC = Single OverHead Camshaft.
Use of the camshaft is as follows....
The cam actuates rocker arms that press down on the valves, opening them. Springs return the valves to their closed position.
On single and double overhead cam engines, the cams are driven by the crankshaft, via either a belt or chain called the timing belt or timing chain.
The main reason to use double overhead cams is to allow for more intake and exhaust valves. More valves means that intake and exhaust gases can flow more freely because there are more openings for them to flow through. This increases the power of the engine.
Hope this helps you.
