Nissan S14 Silvia Q’s

The S14 was launched in 1993 and in 1996 was given a make over which swept aside the staid styling for a more aggressive feel. It uses the 2.0 liter in line 4-cylinder DOHC NA SR20DE engine, and its turbo version is filted to the J’s and Q’s and deliver 157 hp and 138.8 lb ft, while the turbo gives 216 hp and 202.5 lb ft to the top of the range K’s. For drive quality the K’s is the pick of the bunch, and while the NA Q’s is well balanced, it seems a bit short on power for a car of its class. In terms of performance both models compare well with their rivals, but the potential of the suspension and chasis is not quite up to scratch and their sportiness is patchy. Nonetheless they still receive a lot of support.
