Car History
Released hot on the heels of the immensely popular S13, the S14 was first available in Japan in October 1993. This revision of the S chassis was wider, lower and more rounded at the front than its predecessor and packing the hugely popular SR20DE and SR20DET engines. While sales were faltering outside of Japan, our friends on the other side of the Pacific Rim continued to enjoy this revision of the S chassis and sales remained healthy even though its new styling pushed the car out of the compact class and into the higher tax bracket for road users.
Just a couple of years later Nissan saw fit to give the S14 a facelift. In 1996 the Silvia received a more aggressive styling to the front end, headlights and body trim that, in our opinion, improved the aggressive look. While being a largely cosmetic facelift, Nissan also gave the Silvia a more efficient ball bearing based turbocharger.
Lovingly referred to as the S14a by enthusiasts it can also be found by its moniker of S14 Kouki (roughly translated as “later”, the first model being referred to as Zenki or “earlier”).
The run of the Silvia S14 finally came to an end in 1999 with Nissan releasing a Touring model of the chassis. Including extras such as a 10-disc changer, leather seats and headlight washers, this revision also saw mechanical upgrades such as a better block, stronger pistons and easier acceleration in the lower gears.
