NA S15s are quite common and they're easy enough to find.

As for S14s, I personally have never actually seen or heard of one. That being said, I am sure they do exist as I've seen S13 Silvias with NA S14 SR20DE engines in them. S14 SR20DEs have VVT (variable valve timing) as opposed to S13 SR20s. They also slope down at the back of the rocker cover.

So yes they do exist. Finding them is another matter though!

Shane beat me to mentioning the Autech S15.. I read about it in a magazine some months ago (I think it was the HPI Magazine?) and the power result worked out to be around the same as the turbo model with the smooth power delivery of the N/A motor. Problem is that there's clearly more gains to be had in modifying a Turbocharged 200SX, particularly when the Autech is already modified to get that sort of power from the N/A motor.

I think the Autech was also lighter?

Put the money into a compound interest bearing bank account and wait until you can drive a FI car.

Paying 23K in this economic environment for a non turbo S15 is ridiculous.

Mind you, there was a post on here about a sales ad re a R32 GTS-T going for 36K - ROFLMAO

I have seen NA S14's for sale before.

Have a look on care sales

thats because ppl have done the NA conversion in them.

there are NA S14's straight from Nissan factory over in the states, NZ, UK & in japan but Australia doesn't allow them to be brought over to be complied & rego'd - track use is ok

Autech S15 is good and thats the model you want, its around $20k for one.

example of S14 NA (they're dirt cheap too in NZ)

S14s came in a "Q's" configuration (i.e. NA), but they're not eligible for import.

S15s came in at least 3 NA variants (the regular coupe, which you can't import), and the grey imported Varietta convertible and the Autech coupe with the tuned 147kW engine.

Whether it's a rip off or not is arguable. Unless state governments remove the P plater restrictions in the near future, the price of these cars will stay high as they're the only ones P platers can drive. Low supply and demand driven by restriction will see to that. NA S13s have actually held value, if not appreciated a little, since the P plate restrictions came into effect.

If I remember correctly the Autech is a little heavier than the turbo S15, as the chassis has been reinforced. With a pod filter the thing has an induction growl reminiscent of a Honda on VTEC.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
