Im not sure if anyone has covered this or not. This time next year Im gettin a new 240 and plan on doing an SR20DET and Im not sure what platform is better?. I plan on hitting the track, but its mostly for city, country cruzin. What I really what to know is the diffrent problems I might run into with both or if ones just better to build on. Thanks guys. ---

hatch all the way. looks good & more practical too. hatch is visually the same as jdm rps13 180sx. the coupe has a silvia back end with pop ups up front. there was no silvia wit pop ups ---
