Welcome to Will's Kitchen: Sweeping with an S13
How do you take the boredom out of sweeping your floors? Kick it up a notch (figuratively speaking) with an S13. (drift tires and paint job by yours truly)
See the vid. It's fun.

Thanks. I'm not certain it's an S13, but I think so. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_200SX
S13
Starting in 1989, The S-series continued with the S13. European editions were indeed badged as "200SX". In North America, this was equipped with a 2.4L SOHC 4-cyl engine and marketed as "240SX", and in other markets with a 1.8L DOHC 4-cyl turbocharged engine as the "180SX". Some incarnations of this were called "Silvia" and even "Sileighty" in Japan. In 1993, the "S14" chassis succeeded this (still "200SX" in European markets), and in 1996, the "S14a" was released, once again marketed in some parts of the world as Nissan 200SX.

S13:
During 1988 the first model of the S13 was introduced. Thid model is called coupé and has many similarities with with the first swedish 200SX but does not come with the pop-up lights and is sold as sedan or convertible. Under the bonet lies a CA18DE och a CA18DET engine, that means a 1.8 litre engine with or without turbocharger, the same engine you´ll find in the swedish 200SX from 1989 and on.
The model is later equiped with the SR20DE and the SR20DET engines, a twolitre engine with or without turbocharger which are found in the swedish model of the S14. In the US the car is sold with the KA24DE engine, a 2,4 litre engine with 155 bhp. This coupé-model of the S13 was available with HICAS (4-wheelsteering) as an option in some of the countries which the car was exported to.
(R)S13:
During 1989 the hatchback-version of the S13 arrives, called the RS13 to keep the modells separated. This is the model we know as the 200SX in Sweden. In Japan and Australia it is called 180SX due to the 1,8 litre turbocharged engine and in the US the 240SX due to the 2,4 litre non-turbo engine. In Europe it came to be called 200SX for some reason. In Sweden the car is exclusively sold with the CA18DET-engine. In Japan the RS13 was manufactured and sold even untill 1999. In the rest of the world the S13 was replaced when the S14 was introduced 1994.
