I have an interesting (if not rhetorical) question about how Nissan named their cars. All the numbers represent the displacement in liters of the engines under the hood (240Z -> 2.4L Inline 6, 240SX -> 2.4L Inline 4), but if the 200SX non SE-R models come with a 1.6L engine in it, why not call it the 160SX a la NX1600 and NX2000 fame? It's slightly misleading as far as I'm concerned. It's kind of late to change it all now but I always wondered why they didn't name it the 160SX instead of 200SX SE.

And yes, since the 200SX is a B14, it fits in this forum. Ha, gotcha.

yes that was always weird how they named it a 200sx when they had a 1.6 in there. now if you can just figure out whats up with sentra/sunny, altima/bluebird and maxima/cefiro.....

also the silvia is known as a 200sx in australia. which becomes confusing when comparing an austrilian 200sx to a us 200sx. I think they whould quit with the numbers and just call the car the same everywhere:

200sx would be Lucino 1.6 or Lucino 2.0
sentra would be Sunny 1.6 or 2.0
Altima would be the bluebird
240sx would be the Silvia

and so on

And wasn't the NX called a 100NX in Japan and only offered with the 1.6 litre? they did not offer it with a SR20. And Australia called it a NX-R, and so on.

Also in Europe the NX was the 100NX.

In other words it gets even more confusing outside the states. That's good to hear.

I bet very few people know that there is a diesel version of sr20 offered in south Asian sunny.
