fastback vs s14 poll - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

the240sxer95 · 10-18-2003, 04:32 AM

title says it all, this time i figured out how to make a poll!

rednerd · 10-24-2003, 07:59 PM

I've never driven an S14, but I really like the looks of the later S14 nose. The ones with the really agressive looking headlights.

I _HATE_ S13 seats. I'd take the vinyl seats in my 325e over the S13's any day.

Until I drive an S14 I'll have vote for the S13...

whateverjames · 10-25-2003, 02:00 PM

Fastback. I love every style of the 240SX, it's just that I don't like trunks as much as the open hatch area. I've never had a car that had a trunk, come to think about it. hmm.

the240sxer95 · 10-25-2003, 11:12 PM

is it true that the s14 is easier to drive and has a stiffer chassis?

also isnt a fastback like 300 pounds lighter then a s14?

i'm surprised you can navigate the internet while being that incredibly mentally retarded.

S13 fastbacks OWN the world

carnal_c30 · 05-19-2004, 08:43 PM

I had an S13 SR20 now I have an S14

overall if it wasnt for the S13's age... I like the look of the S13 fastbacks... I found my S13 easier to slide easier to drift and control while the S14 is a bit more quick to rotate- result of wheelbase lengths S14 has a longer wheelbase

the fastback is cool... you can carry your track tires to the track without putting them in the drivers seat... S14 can only fit one in the trunk

my S13 rattled like balls... the hatch would go nuts until I drove fast enough for the spoiler to work

the S14 doesnt rattle as much

GotDriftS14 · 11-06-2003, 12:10 PM

S14....why? well for one it has a much more solid chassis which responds better to suspension mods. it also has revised rear suspension design for better fine tuning. and then theres the wider track and longer wheelbase for better hi-speed stability and what not. the whole car overall is much more refined than the S13 (not to say the S13 is bad). nicer interior, IMO better looks on the outside, but that's always an arguable point. plus you can fit wider wheels under the stock fenders. S14's are the man!

PS: oh and as for the S14 being 300 lbs heavier, HAH!! the weight difference is a good deal under 100 lbs between the S13 fastback SE and the S14 coupe SE IIRC.

MrMigs · 11-06-2003, 12:20 PM

S14 is the king haha

RobsNismO · 11-06-2003, 05:39 PM

on performance, id say the s14 is better for turning, and response, but the s13 can be modified to be just as good, kinda like how a lancer is turned into an evo with chassis reinforcements, its costly, but saying that it can be done. for straight line performance, i would say s13, cause its lighter. on looks, i would say s13, i like the s14, but its rear lights, and the rear fenders are ugly enough that i chose the s13. the s13 has better overall looks, while the front of the s14 kouki(mean eyes) front looks better than the s13. now the rear fenders of the s14, its just too narrow, it looks flat if you see if from the front angle, yea you can always modify it with fender kits, but i dont like doin that to cars. so overall the s13 gets my vote.

f2a4s0t · 11-17-2003, 09:18 PM

both cars are hot but I have to say s13 because I own one and have never driven an s14

G_Fish240 · 11-17-2003, 09:33 PM

i dont like the tail of s14s, and i love fast backs,

fastpace · 11-22-2003, 08:35 PM

s13 all the way. only certain s14 looks nice. the 95-96 models looks down syndromed.

zero.counter · 11-22-2003, 09:30 PM

I would have to say the S13. I have both and feel that the S13 is more dexterious than the S14, IMO.

Ghettokracker71 · 02-23-2004, 06:59 PM

to me...the S14 doesn't look anything special...and its a little porkier,and the S13 has more power I thought? hmm...lighter,more power and hatchback,and looks hella cooler? The answer to me is pretty apparent.

the240sxer95 · 02-23-2004, 11:36 PM

well, i bought my second s14.. so HAH! =]

nightwalker · 02-24-2004, 03:18 AM

I have heard of the S14s improvements over the S13, but I just love the Kouki tailights on my S13, and the fastback has and always will be one of the sexiest production cars ever made! ...chassis stiffness? nothing some seam welding, and a roll cage won't help.

TiNMAN · 02-24-2004, 07:19 PM

hmph, i have both of em! but id have to say that i like the s14 better.

s13Steve · 02-24-2004, 08:55 PM

I like the fastback better, maybe that just because i own one...

TiNMAN · 02-25-2004, 08:30 AM

lol, can i like both of them the same amount?

the240sxer95 · 02-25-2004, 01:01 PM

hhahaha its a pretty even poll =] s14's still on top

TiNMAN · 02-25-2004, 08:47 PM

i love the s14's ass. i wanna bend it the fuk over and just spank the shit out of it.

TiNMAN · 02-25-2004, 10:16 PM

thats what im sayin....been lonely man.....but hey

still.....lol

nightwalker · 02-25-2004, 11:09 PM

THE POLL IS EVEN!!! ahhhhhh what to do!?!?!?!

thaiger77 · 02-29-2004, 06:52 PM

I think with S13 hatchback, you can carry more grocery or tires for drifters. S14 has small trunk which kinda sucks at times. Looks wise, I think 97-98 S14 is the best. Plus they are more rare than S13s. Performance wise, S14 does handle a bit better cause it is wider. "wider is better!" Plus it is newer so suspension is set up better. Well, that's my opion.

SimpleS14 · 02-29-2004, 10:06 PM

I prefer the S14, because it has a sexy appeal to it when done right. I also prefer the styling of the coupe (S14) more than the fastback (S13).

thaiger77 - You sig is freakin HUGE.

drift freaq · 02-29-2004, 10:58 PM

ok driven both, S14 though it may not be much heavier, feels and drives like it is bigger and heavier, in comparison to the S13 Fastback. That out of the way the S14 is much quiter due to being comfort level refined by Nissan. For comfort and boulevard cruising the S14 is superior . In terms of sports car feel and look the S13 Fastback rules!!! Yes the S14 has a stiffer chassis. as far as earlier posts about it having a more refined suspension, hahahhahaha. Whoever said that needs to look at the rear subframe design of the S14 its identical to the S13 in basic layout as it is identical to the z32 rear subframe design and the J30 subframe design. Guys, Nissan did not refine the subframe design between any of these models. ITs the same multilink suspension. The only thing Nissan refined in the S14 was the chassis stiffness.
The S14 has a stiffer chassis but its stock suspension is tuned softer than the S13's hence more of wallowy big feel like a mustang or american car.
The only way to make a S14 (IMHO) rock is to immediatly upgrade the suspension to get rid of that wallowy american car feel. even after you do that the car still feels bigger than a S13 Fastback or coupe IMHO!
Yes I cast my vote for the S13 Fastback, I don't hate the S14 but its not my cup of tea.
