Actually....

From 1988 - 1990 the S13 and RS13 (180sx) was equipped with the CA18DE and CA18DET motors (RS13 had no non-turbo option.)

From 1991 - 1993 The PS13 and RPS13 Chasis was equipped with the red top SR20DET (the change to PS and RPS signifies the change in engine)

In 1994 the PS13 was replaced by the S14 Chasis, but the RPS13 (180sx) continued in production until 1997. The Type R and Type X 180SX started in 1994 with the black top SR20DET. This was the same engine as the earlier SR just with a black valve cover to match the introduction of the S14's SR20DET (which had VVT and 220ps where the 180sx stayed with out VVT and remained at 205ps.)

People need to realize that Black top is used to differentiate the early Red top SR20DET and the later Black top SR20DET that were used in the S13 Chasis.

The VVT SR20DET's that were in the S14 and S15 Silvia's are generally refered to by the chasis they came out of. Most racers/mechanics prefer tuning the S13 model SR20DET becuase of the lack of VVT interference.

I lived in Japan for the last yen years and owned several S13's in my time there.

1990 S13 Silvia Q's with CA18DE (145ps)
1989 S13 Silvia Q's that I later swapped engine and tranny out to CA18DET (175ps)
1988 A31 Cefiro with RB20DET (205ps ECU and exhaust tuned to 245ps)
1994 RPS13 180sx with the black top SR20DET (220ps with exhaust tuning only)

Oh and Strawberry face refers to the S15 Silvia Spec R, because 1-5 in Japanese is Ichi-go (ichi = one ; go = five) the word "ichigo" is also Strawberry....thus Strawberry face Silvia.

The S15 Silvia ran from 1999-2003 (killed off by the French Guy...even though he loved the car....jerk)

The car on the Left is an S15 and my old 180 is the red one...miss it bad.

------------------------

Where is the car located at anyway?
