Nissan 240SX S14

1995–1998 · S14 · coupe

Sold in the US 1995-1998 as the S14 chassis 240SX. KA24DE 2.4L DOHC I4 only, around 155 hp, with 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. Coupe body only in the US (no hatchback, no convertible). 1997-1998 received a styling refresh, often called the 'Kouki' face by enthusiasts. Sold globally as the Silvia with the SR20DET turbo engine, which remains the canonical swap on US cars.

Watch out: Same pattern as the S13: nearly every clean S14 has been a drift or tuner project, and rust on rear strut towers, wheel arches, and floor pans is the dominant survivability question. Pre-purchase inspection should focus on chassis straightness and frame-rail damage from off-track contact. Owner reports of subframe bushing wear and worn-out steering racks are common on high-mileage cars. KA24DE itself is durable but timing chain rattle on cold start can signal worn guides.
