Long story cut short I'm at a crossroads with what to do with my car. As daft as it seems my beat option is to get a ps13. Which I'm all for but not sure if it's exactly what I want. I've had an s13 before and realise they are the same interior but I've never actually been close up to a ps13. Ideally I'm hoping someone on here in the Edinburgh area or someone going to Crail big track in their ps13 would let me have a good look around their car and have a seat, maybe even a tiny drive (nothing crazy literally just a little drive) Anyways. I realise it's doubtful but if you don't ask you don't get
Dude, a PS is an S13 (RS13 actually) with a boot, they drive, feel and look exactly the same apart from said boot, I think they even weigh the same ........
Yeah I'm fully aware, like I mentioned, they are the same inside. It was more so for the looks. I've only ever seen one from a distance. Never had a 'real world' view so to speak. Presuming the shell length is near identical? Pretty set now I'm going for it. Sourced one that's perfect and should be here in 2 weeks. Just need to get rid of one of my cars (Friday if all goes well).
am I not right in saying an RS13 is the slope back/fastback style Which is what the R stands for. P then standing for sr20. The one I'm wanting is a ps13 because it's not fastback and is sr20. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm now expert ha
Just to throw a spanner in the works ps13s also had ca18det in early ones plus there's n/a one and just for good measure theres onevia's too lol. Mines not in the country yet and ive never even driven one (have had 7 rps13s and a cefiro ) they all pretty much felt the same.
To clear this up.... S13 - Silvia with CA18DET RS13 - 200sx/180sx Fastback with CA18DET PS13 - Silvia with SR20DET (Straight Cam) RPS13 - 180sx Fastback with SR20DET (Straight Cam) The R is for Fastback, the P is for SR20. End of.
S13 = 1988-90 Silvia w/ CA18DET RS13 = 1990-91 180SX/200SX w/ CA18DET PS13 = 1991-93 Silvia w/ SR20DET RPS13 = 1991-98 180SX w/ SR20DET KPS13 = 1991-93 Silvia w/ SR20DET & Super HICAS KRPS13 = 1991-98 180SX w/ SR20DET & Super HICAS HS13 = 1989-90 240SX Coupe w/ KA24E RHS13 = 1989-90 240SX FB w/ KA24E MS13 = 1991-93 240SX Coupe w/ KA24DE RMS13 = 1991-93 240SX FB w/ KA24DE KMS13 = 1991-93 240SX Coupe w/ KA24DE & Super HICAS (Canadian Only) KRMS13 = 1991-93 240SX FB w/ KA24DE & Super HICAS These Codes only Apply to S13 Models: No Letter for Coupe R = Fastback No Letter for CA18DET/CA18DE P = SR20DET/SR20DE H = KA24E M = KA24DE K = Super HICAS Yep, complicated shit.
My vert was just a PS, I think because it came out of the factory with a roof and went elsewhere to get chopped. The JDM cars were all Navy Blue auto CA18DETs originally
