Nissan 180SX - Difference between 92-95 and 96-97 models?

[prae]

I'm trying to find the main differences between the 92-95 and 96-97 model 180's

I know the later models received an aero kit, different tail lights, and a few interior differences, but what are the main differences engine and drivetrain-wise? Did the 96-97 get the black-top SR20 from the S14's?

Thanks in advance,

prae

edit: also, if the thread is in the wrong area, could mod please move it to the right one

Prae - the main difference would be the black top engine in the later models compared to the redtop in the earlier models..

try the www.nissansilvia.com forums or www.silviawa.com forums

I thought so..

a friend's brother is buying a 97 model 180SX with a red top engine, and the dealer's saying thats standard? I thought something was fishy..

I'd try those the NS.com and SWA, but then i'd need to go through the registration and stuff...such CBF

Thanks

iam from NS.com

The rocker cover is either been painted or the engine has blown and been replaced with an early model SR from the 180sx's and silvia's from Late 91-93. Because from 94 onwards had a black rockers cover. People say there is a small difference between the black and red rocker cover SR's but you cant even tell.

There is no drive train extra's for the Type X, only dif is the bodykit, rear lights and few interior things like seats.

The 96-97 models were fitted with the same engine as the 93-95 180sx's with the black rocker cover and NO VVT.
