i have searched and came short handed,
my question, although its a noob one, is that is there a difference between the usdm 240sx and the jdm s13
this guy i know, kinda smart with dsm's, told me that the s13 is like the type r civic while the 240sx is like the si civic...well that was his concept to explain it now is that true?is there a difference between the jdm s13 and the usdm?
oh and he also shared that the sr's that im looking at (potentailly) are under 30,000 miles do to the fact that they have to pay a taxt on cars that hit 30,000 miles in japan. and that it wont need a rebuild. is that true too?
sorry for the noob questions i used to be a fellow dsmer but had to get out due to non reliability
thanx

well if you want to view it from that perspective..
get this..
JDM s13 is like the civic type R
while USDM s13 is like the civic dx/lx (~50hp short)

they came with sr20det 205hp stock
ours came with ka24de 155hp stock
i believe, almost everything else is basically the same (chassis and body wise)

there was a link explaining this differences in details a while ago..
i think SilviaDriver posted it..
might want to ask him about it

Obviously didnt search hard enough. If you go to the Archive and Faqs section there is a lengthy post (should be the one Bandit) is talking about.
