Engine Modifications


Exhaust System
Exhaust systems are chassis-specific irregardless of engine type. This means S14 exhausts fit both KA and SR engines, for example. The only exception to this rule is that S13 CA18DE(T) exhaust systems do not fit onto SR/KA S13 chassis.

Suspension Interchangeablity
S13/14 adjustable pillowball upper mounts are interchangeable.
S13/14 coilovers are not interchangeable.
S13/14 rear upper arms are interchangeable as long as they are adjustable.
S13/14 front strut tower bars are interchangeable if the length of the strut bar can be adjusted.
s13/14 Rear strut tower bars are not interchangeable.

Parts needed for the z32 brake upgrade (front)
z32 Calipers - can be located at various junkyards (rebuild is highly recommended)
Rotor - make sure you get the correct rotor for the calipers - if your 240sx is 4lug the rotors will need to be drill 4x114.3
Custom Brake Lines - many 240sx related store will carry them ie. srswap.com, pdm-racing.com, clearcorners.com
Brake Pads - use an oem shim kit

Wheel and Offset
*Clearance of wheels for Z32 brake upgrade is entirely dependent on wheel spoke AND wheel design, NOT on offset of wheel.
-Wheel width/offset needed for clearance of coilovers is as follows (disregarding brake clearance):
Width Offset
6" +54 or lower
6.5" +45 or lower
7" +40 or lower
7.5" +34 or lower
8" +30 or lower
8.5" +24 or lower
9" +20 or lower
*these numbers are for the fronts only

Note that this does not take into account variations in offset calculation by manufacturer, or tire sidewall bulge. This list also does not take into account differences in design of coilovers (esp. lower brackets on coilover kits which can cause changes in wheel clearance issues). This list also only applies to the FRONT WHEELS and is intended as a GUIDE for reference.
The LARGEST wheels that will fit the front of a S13/14 with stock fenders is 9" wide. The rear can take up to 10.5" wide with a very specific offset AND must dial in negative camber. To fit large wheels one must use negative camber to ensure proper fender clearance.

The S13 Silvia was the first S-series car to use the J's (Jack's), Q's (Queen's), K's (King's) naming for the different trim levels.

The J's was the base model with a very basic interior, little standard equipment, and 14" steel wheels.

The Q's model is middle-of-the-road. They received many electric options and an optional LSD.

The K's received the turbocharged engines, along with all the upgrades of the Q's.

On top of the K's and Q's models, The Club Selection and Dia(mond) Selection packages came with specific options bundled together; for example, all K's Club Selections came with projector headlights, a rear spoiler, and aluminum wheels.

All the names used are references to the suits and face cards of English playing cards.

There also exists the rare Silvia A's "Almighty", introduced in late 1992. Confusingly, the Almighty fits roughly into the middle of the range. The only available engine was the naturally-aspirated SR20DE.

The S13 Silvia, introduced in mid-1988 for the 1989 model year, was immensely popular in Japan. The Silvia name was no longer used on export models, however; European models were now known as 200SX. Following industry trends, the S13 Silvia switched to relampable fixed headlights. Projector optics were offered as an option.

The Silvia fastback was discontinued, replaced by a new model, the Nissan 180SX. This left only the notchback coupe. A convertible was briefly offered soon after the start of production, but it was never popular, perhaps due to high cost (3.25 million Yen in 1988).

The S13 was one of the first uses of Nissan's multi-link rear suspension, the technology of which was previewed in concept cars in previous years, such as the Nissan MID-4. It also offered a four-wheel steering system for the first time, known as HICAS-II. In 1990, HICAS-II would be updated and renamed SuperHICAS. The S13 also saw the introduction of a viscous-type limited slip differential for some models.

S13 Silvias were initially powered by the CA18DE and CA18DET engines carried over from the end of S12 production, with an intercooler added to the CA18DET for a slight increase in power. In 1990, for the 1991 model year, the SR20DE and SR20DET engines debuted, offering improvements across the board in power, torque, and efficiency.

The S13 Silvia was discontinued after the 1993 model year, in favor of the new S14 chassis design. In 1998, the S13 Silvia was resurrected, in part. A variant was produced by Kid's Heart for Nissan called the Sileighty, which featured the 180SX body with the front end from the Silvia. The Sileighty style was originally created by Japanese enthusiasts for their own 180SXs, and is still a common modification for the 180SX and 240SX fastback.

The first generation of the 240SX can be divided into two distinct variants: Zenki (otherwise known as the pignose) and Chuki.

Zenki(89-91)
Zenki was sold under model years 1989 through 1990.
It came in two body styles: fastback (SE) and coupe (XE).
The coupe was closely related to the Japanese-market Silvia. It differed from the Silvia by having retractable headlamps (United States headlight height regulations prevented the use of the Silvia headlamp arrangement**), and a 140 hp 2.4-litre SOHC KA24E engine with 3 valves per cylinder.
The fastback was closely related to the Japanese-market 180SX, but likewise had the KA24E engine.
Four-wheel disk brakes were standard, with antilock brakes as an option on the SE. Both models were offered with either a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. Coupes had a Head-Up Display showing a digital speedometer as part of the optional Power Convenience Group.

Chuki (91-94)
This gave the car an overhaul that included mostly minor body modifications and an upgrade to the engine. The Zenki front bumper was replaced by a smoother, more modern-looking bumper, and a new (LE) hatchback trim package was added that included leather interior.
KA24E was replaced by a new DOHC KA24DE with 4 valves per cylinder that produced 15 more hp, for a total output of 155 hp
An optional sports package including a limited slip differential and Nissan's HICAS four wheel steering was added to the fastback.
In 1992, a convertible body style was added to the lineup. It was exclusive to North America and was partially assembled in Japan, with final assembly taking place in the California facilities of American Specialty Cars (ASC)
For the 1994 model year, the only available car was a Special Edition of the Convertible body style with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Tires

Sidewall
Sidewall rating is relative to the width of the tire. If you had a car with a stock tire size of 225/60/16, the 60 side wall would be 60% of the 225mm width. Roughly 225mm = 9 inches and roughly 60% of 9 inches is 5.3 inches. And if you can figure that out 5.3*2 = 10.6 inches + 16 inches for the diameter of the wheel, the stock tire diameter is 26.6 inches tall. So now you need to find tires that are 26.6 inches tall but in a 245/XX/18. It’s just a simple math problem to figure it out if you don’t have a computer to access the link above

Speed rating/Load Index
The speed rating is the Letter that is included in your tire size. Eg: 245/40/VR17.
M 81 mph 130 km/h
N 87 mph 140km/h Temporary Spare Tires
P 93 mph 150 km/h
Q 99 mph 160 km/h Studless & Studdable Winter Tires
R 106 mph 170 km/h H.D. Light Truck Tires
S 112 mph 180 km/h Family Sedans & Vans
T 118 mph 190 km/h Family Sedans & Vans
U 124 mph 200 km/h
H 130 mph 210 km/h Sport Sedans & Coupes
V 149 mph 240 km/h Sport Sedans, Coupes & Sports Cars
W 168 mph 270 km/h Exotic Sports Cars
Y 186 mph 300 km/h Exotic Sports Cars
Load Index
The higher the tire's load index number, the greater its load carrying capacity.
89 = 1,279 pounds
88 = 1,235 pounds
87 = 1,201 pounds
86 = 1,168 pounds
85 = 1,135 pounds
A tire with a higher load index than that of the Original Equipment tire indicates an increase in load capacity. A tire with a load index equal to that of the Original Equipment tire indicates an equivalent load capacity. A tire with a lower load index than the Original Equipment tire indicates the tire does not equal the load capacity of the original.

Increase front and rear rate - Ride harshness increases; tires may not follow bumps causing reduced traction. Roll resistance increases.

Increase front rate only - Front ride rate increases. Front roll resistance increases, increasing understeer or reducing oversteer.

Increase rear rate only - Rear ride rate increases. Rear roll resistance increases, increasing oversteer or reducing understeer.

Decrease front and rear rate - Ride harshness decreases; tires follow bumps more effectively, possibly improving traction. Roll resistance decreases.

Decrease front rate only - Front ride rate decreases. Front roll resistance decreases, decreasing understeer or increasing oversteer.

Decrease rear rate only - Rear ride rate decreases. Rear roll resistance decreases, decreasing oversteer or increasing understeer.



Antiroll Bar Changes (aka sway bar)
Modification - Effect on Suspension

Increase front rate - Front roll resistance increases, increasing understeer or decreasing oversteer. May also reduce camber change, allowing better tire contact patch compliance with the road surface, reducing understeer.

Increase rear rate - Rear roll resistance increases, increasing oversteer or decreasing understeer. On independent rear suspensions, may also reduce camber change, allowing better contact patch compliance with road surface, reducing oversteer.

Decrease front rate - Front roll resistance decreases, decreasing understeer or increasing oversteer. More body roll could reduce tire contact patch area, causing understeer.

Decrease rear rate - Rear roll resistance decreases, decreasing oversteer or increasing understeer. On independent rear suspensions, more body roll could reduce tire contact patch area, causing oversteer.

Note - Remember to consider the construction of the sway bar and the endlinks. A solid sway bar has more resistance than a hollow bar of the same diameter. Also the addition of solid or polyurethane endlinks will artificially raise the diameter of the bar in terms of effectiveness.


Shock Absorber Changes (aka your struts)
Modification - Effect on Suspension

Rebound - The dampers resistance when the suspension is de-compressing (when you turn right the right side suspension is in rebound)

Bump - The dampers resistance when the suspension is compressing (when you turn right the left side suspension is in bump)

Increase rebound and bump rates - Ride harshness increases.

Increase rebound rates only - On bumps, tires may leave track surface.

Increase bump rates only - Body roll resisted; outside tire loaded too quickly; car won't stabilize into a turn.

Decrease rebound and bump rates - Ride harshness decreases; car may float over bumps.

Decrease rebound rates only - On bumps, tires follow track surface more effectively; car may continue to oscillate after bumps.

Decrease bump rates only - Body rolls quickly; car is slower to respond to turn-in.


How do I correct my suspension geometry?

Note: Almost every aftermarket arm has a solid rod end which replaces the worn stock rubber bushing. This increases road noise somewhat, but drastically increases the response of the suspension. It also reduces the compliancy of the suspension, which reduces the change in geometry when the suspension is bumped. This creates a much more stable feel in the car especially when cornering.
