i love my s13, but i wouldnt mind a s15 front end. the s13 and 14 trannys are supposed to be pretty tuff, but the s15 6 speed is fairly weak from what ive seen. also from what i understand the s13 sr20det motor is the better of the 3 generations. this is what ive gathered from what ive read. i am waitin for my jdm s13 front end to come to port so i can do my silvia conversion. i like my s13 cuz it was super cheap and very functional.
Hmmm how would transmissions matter when it comes to street racing? Specifically, how would your post (which imples SR20DET when the question had nothing to do with SR20DET) be conclusive to street racing?

You are making too many assumptions on what is "better". S15 has bigger injectors, a better turbo, VTC for more street drivability and power in the midrange RPM, same goes for S14 for the most part. "Better" how so? The only real advantage S13 engines have going for it is that 1) it has been documented very well and is easiest to swap, and 2) it is the cheapest. If you can think of more conclusive arguments to back up your "better" claim then post it... If you really gathered what you read, you should know that the S15 has the most potential power to make, and the S13 is the cheapest engine on a budget to go with.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best year for the nissan 240x, well best year for street racing?
No one can tell you anything; it's your choice to make. If you want to street race I suggest (at the bare minimum) you either 1) buy a car that you can afford to street race with (and can afford to hypothetically live without it for a few weeks if you are caught or break something) or 2) use a S13 coupe. Then again don't ask me about street racing; I hate it.
