what is the difference between the rps13 and the s13?

**lude_conduct** · 08-11-2003, 05:14 PM

RPS13 is the hatchback and the PS13 or S13 is the sedan I believe

**ace mcfly** · 08-11-2003, 05:19 PM

ok thanks, that's what i thought.

**DeathBy240** · 08-11-2003, 11:31 PM

My '89 hatch back is an RHS13

**SpoonEK9@STRD** · 08-12-2003, 09:55 AM

example RPS13
R = Model in this case its fastback
P = Motor, SR
S = Chasis

**shadowz** · 08-12-2003, 10:38 AM

And isnt the RPS13 the newer hatch that was reproduced in Japan? 95-up?

**mutsuraboshi** · 08-12-2003, 11:39 AM

haha i play that initial D arcade game lots. and they have those 2 cars in it, the rps13 is the 180sx in japan, or the '89-94 240sx here in canada. teh s13 would be the old school silvias they have overseas... did they have s13's here? i thot i saw one once, but it turned out to be a nissan stanza... and a sedan, the rear remsembelled it alot tho.

**mutsuraboshi** · 08-12-2003, 11:42 AM

95' and up is different, they are silvia q's in japan, alot like the s14 but rounder headlites or sumthin... it dint have fliplites, the rps13 does, its exactly like the 89'-94 240's we have here!

**DeathBy240** · 08-12-2003, 11:54 AM

S12 84-88(?)200SX(NA)/Silvia(JDM)
RHS13 89-90 240SX(NA)/180SX (JDM)
RPS13 91-94 240SX(NA)/180SX(JDM)/200SX(Europe/Australia)
S13 88-94 Silvia(JDM)
S14 95-96 240SX(NA)/Silvia(JDM)
S14a 97-98 240SX(NA)/Silvia(JDM)
S15 99-up Silvia(JDM)

I believe that is all correct. Guessed on the years for the S12 tho...

The Silvia Q's are S13 Silvia's. They are a trim line, Jack(base), Queen(power), King(turbo, power). The first S14 has lights that are round, look like a 96 Camry or something, but where changed in 97 to be much sleeker, the ones you always see swapped on hondas, making it the S14a.

silvia q's are s14's. u must be thinking of silvia k's, those ones are s13's. so i got it down now:

-silvia k's (s13)
-silvia k's aero (s14) the one with point headlites
-silvia q's (s14) the '95+ 240's they sold in canada

I don't think that is accurate, I will check when I am not at work....

And ace there if JNS Imports has brought some Silvias in then yes, there are some, but they were only available for import early this year. I think there are some Silvia conversions kicking around Calgary but not sure, there isnt any to my knowledge up here in Edmonton. I hope to have my Sil-Eighty conversion done buy the spring.

**ace mcfly** · 08-12-2003, 05:30 PM

so those coupe bodies are refered to as silvias and are not readily available in calgary? and what does your conversion entail?

**DeathBy240** · 08-12-2003, 05:47 PM

Ok I didnt specify this earlier. The 89-94 240s in north america came as two models, the hatchback, which is almost identical to the 180SX in Japan, and the coupe, which has the front end, (pop up lights) of the 240, but the back end (trunk) of a Silvia. The 240 coupe is a little more rare than the hatchback but there are still lots around. As for my conversion, it is the exact opposite of the 240SX coupe. It will be a hatchback with the Silvia front end, which has projector headlights. It is commonly refered to as a Sil-Eighty.

For info on getting a Silvia go here http://www.jns-imports.com/list/japa...3_series1.html

**ace mcfly** · 08-12-2003, 05:53 PM

why thank ya, that helped out! also, the sil-eghty conversion sounds neat! can you tell me a little more about this conversion?

**Lo)2enz0** · 08-12-2003, 07:59 PM

the s13 conversion onto a rhs13 is a direct bolt on except the head lights need the brakets which sometimes come with the conversion kits but they are ussually beaten up but there are some companies like unstable hybrids which sell new ones that they made. its a good conversion but will cost you about $2200 just to get the parts and than you still have to pay for paint. If you plan on doing this conversion you probably want to put everything on yourself unless you want to pay a body shop to do it before they paint it but that ussually costs you a arm and a leg.

I have thought about doing this conversion many times and decided not to mainly because of how much it will cost and I would rather spend that money on a new engine.

Laurier

**ace mcfly** · 08-12-2003, 08:03 PM

anybody have a pic of a sil-eighty?

**DeathBy240** · 08-12-2003, 08:13 PM

I am getting the front end for much cheaper than 2200 so its all good.
