Some of the changes were common to the two models e. The first sx came with its pig nose, pop-up headlights, sleek and sporty design and irresistible dynamism.
In , there were some subtle changes made, most noticeably to the front bumper no pig nose , which was redesigned to increase aerodynamic performance. It received further minor changes in and , probably the most visible was the addition of alloy wheels. While many of the sx aesthetics seemed minor, the finished item was a clear evolution of the sporty original model, muscled up and given that aggressive and imposing stance that we have come to know.
The sx did experience changes as well, but its second generation was notable for a move towards a less aggressive athleticism that had become typical of the sx. In the beginning, it shared several features like the pop-up lights and overall size and scale. It was, after all, built on the same S chassis.
The second-generation S14 brought a coupe-only option, taking away that key element of choice the US drivers of the early model had always enjoyed over their Japanese counterparts. The final incarnations even received updates to the bumper, hood, fenders and taillights. It was clear that this S14 was already something of a different animal compared to the more imposing looks of the sx. Drifting , for those not in the know, is the form of motorsport popularized in Japan initially during the s.
It involves intentional oversteering and loss of traction, causing the rear slip angle to be greater than the front one. The sx and sx are both very popular in the sport and have even been used by D1 Grand Prix champions like Masato Kawabata in If you would like to learn about another sibling of the sx and sx, then check out our ultimate Sil80 guide. While the cars have enjoyed enduring popularity on the professional racing circuit, and with some keen enthusiasts still driving their various incarnations, perhaps in their original form, or perhaps replete with mods.
The versatility of this model is one of the things that made it popular in all its forms; sx, SX and sx. In summary, the differences between these two models can be understood by looking at the following areas:.
Whichever one you drove; the story of the differences is an interesting one. Also what is the silvia. Australia didn't get any 13's. NZ and south africa did but I don't know names of models. Key differences are coupe or fastback body, engine, differential ratio, fixed or pop up lights. Almost a kit car to the point that later S14 and S15 front ends are also interchangeable.
Can of worms - what every PC owner gets! How much is that engine? And is the engine that comes with original sx good as well? If i was going to get a Nissan SX would those motors be good. Im not lookin for anything fancy or spendy. I just like that car alot. I have an 80's sx and I am going to sell it soon. And whats easier to swap? I don't know where you live, but in the States, the KA was installed in all factory sx' and Pickups. Elsewhere you'll either find a CA18 or an SR Ill find out for you in the days to come.
But anyways, He is currently working on a KA that will be pushing 12's. Methinks it will have bhp at the wheels when shes all done. It's only at about bhp right now. I believe the sponsorship company's will have put g into it by the time its done. Wow - i was really suprised with that response. I did some research during my lunch break and it seemed like the rb26dett was an awesome engine that would be alot better than the vg30dett.
Going into a zx Sorry for the double posting just want to be sure. Yea, if you have the means, time, and patient. Then hell, go for it. Anyways, have a nice one. The hp ratings are actually off too I believe that is the most correct rating. If you think the CA sucks CA is an iron block SR is aluminum RB25 and RB26 are more than enough power for street use They are great engines I love these topics though they are a little over argued For the z, I don't know how hard an RB would be to swap into, because they are I6's, and the Z has a relatively shorter engine bay than a Skyline.
Though I have seen them done. Wiring is different, but thats a given with any swap. I seriously hate how the KA has been labeled a "Truck motor".
People who call it that have no idea what the are talking about. Stupid Street readers and their friends. The two motors share the block, and that was pretty much it.
Also, remember that the KA was used in passenger cars before the Nissan trucks. No one seems to acknowledge this though. In my opinion, the KA is a much better motor than an SR. The KA weak point is the ring lands.
