The 1992 Nissan 240SX (S13) is a compact sports car manufactured by Nissan. The 240SX was available in a fastback, notchback coupé and convertible body style from 1989 to 1994.
The Nissan 240SX and the similar European Nissan 200SX model were based on the Australasian Nissan 180SX which was developed as a cheaper sister model to the S13 Silvia but with a hatch and pop-up headlights.
The 240SX was available with either a single over-head and dual over-head cam 2.4 litre inline-four KA engine. It went through a facelift in 1991.
The Nissan 240SX is commonly present in amateur motorsports and car enthusiasts scenes due to its affordability and mod-friendly chassis.
