Nissan 240SX S13

1989–1994 · S13 · coupe

Sold in the US 1989-1994 as the S13 chassis 240SX. 1989-1990 cars used the KA24E (SOHC, 8-valve, single overhead cam) at around 140 hp. 1991-1994 cars used the KA24DE (DOHC, 16-valve) at around 155 hp. RWD with 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. Sold as the Silvia and 180SX in Japan with the SR20DET turbo engine, which is the swap of choice on US cars.

Watch out: Rust is the dominant pre-purchase concern after three decades on the road, especially rear strut towers, rear wheel arches, sunroof drains, and the trunk floor. The S-chassis tuner and drift community drives values up and inspection standards down, so many surviving cars have been crashed, stripped, or modified beyond easy reversal. Owner reports of T-top leak issues on coupe variants are well-documented. Verify VIN against title, look for evidence of SR20DET swap (and whether it was done correctly), and budget for suspension bushings on any car you buy.
