Nissan 240SX

The Nissan 240SX is a sports compact car that Nissan introduced to the North American market in 1988 for the 1989 model year, replacing the outgoing 200SX (S12). Two distinct generations were produced on the Nissan S platform, the S13 from 1989 to 1994 and the S14 from 1994 to 1998. All 240SXs were equipped with the 2.4 litre KA inline-four engine series, the single overhead cam KA24E from 1989 to 1990 and the dual overhead cam KA24DE from 1990 to 1998. The 240SX is closely related to other S platform vehicles such as the Japanese market Silvia and 180SX and the European market 200SX, but it is unrelated to the 240Z or 280ZX, which use a different platform. It is popular in drifting and tuner culture, where demand has pushed up prices of cars and parts.
