Well one of you guys can smack me if im wrong but i have read that the first six months of production that 240's had a stronger front cross member than any S13's after that. What i read was that a lot of people complained about ride qaulity and so nissan decided to weaken the front cross member in favor of ride qaulity. Since my car was built in 8/88 i would have the beffy front cross member...

hmm, mine was made 1/89. What month did production start? It may explain one of the reasons my 89 feels so much tighter than my 90.

In the meantime, for you S14 guys:
S14 card holder. fits into dash (in one of the slots on either side of the wheel I think). So if you want to carry business cards, you can do it oem pimp style.

My s14 SE had all that shit.. 'cept it was black. But I don't have LSD or ABS either.

Do have roof, gauges and 5-lug.

The catch? I believe it's 'cuz my car came automatic.

Mine was a 95 Concord grey SE. Cloth interior, front lip, white gauges, 5 lug, 5 speed. No Lsd, No abs, No sunroof. It was basically a base model with 5 lug and a lip.

Actually those work best for toll tickets on the roads out here. A business card would fall into there and be a PITA to retreive.

dude, how is that rare? most se's didn't have lsd or abs. the lip, white gauges, and 5 lug were all pretty common on se's. rare would be a s14 with lsd and no abs (ultra-ultra-rare)....

I guess SE with almost no options wasn't as rare as I thought

Your car does kinda kill the earlier theory about the auto's being the only ones without the LSD.

So I guess all I got is the "single model year color"

Not sure how rare, but i'd like to know if someone could find figures. Believe they did come with a LE badge though. Probably pretty rare, considering that less than 8000 USDM koukis were sold total and most people haven't seen/heard of an LE...

there were 3655 koukis sold in 1997 and 2178 sold in 1998, making a USDM kouki s14 more rare than a ferrari modena! of course "rarity" doesnt actually mean anything but lack of numbers...

okay, here goes:

1995 Production: 25,114
1996 Production: 7,334

that makes a grand total of 32,448 USDM zenkis. i would put the total number of kouki's at lower than 5,000: some were invariably lost to crashes, etc. just my guess. im glad i own 0.02% of the kouki community!

Good info,

I wonder why there was such a production drop from 95 - 96?

Also, are these worldwide production #'s or just for the US?
