Its the actual s13 body and chassis which is a downgrade, Nissan used a much thinner and cheaper grade of steel on the 13 than on the 12. This maybe why we have seen s13s suffer from Rot more.

....LOL.... I was just joking Jon .

But that does explain why there seems to be a lot more road noise inside the 13 compared to the Silvia if the panels are thinner.
TBH, it`s mostly the oily bits that I`ll be using anyway.

I guess that`s typical of a lot of car manufacturers though, to cut costs like that .

Ian.

dont think there's much in it, the s12 rear subframe and diff assembly is loads heavier than an s13 one, probably a good 30kg extra.

Only thing I'd say was a real big step forwards from the s12 to s13 chassis is the suspension. Just a shame its not an easy swap

mk1 s12 is 1135kg, mk2 is around 1175 / 1210kg, i'd have to look in my book for the exact mk2 weight, my mk1 was 1235kg with the extra weight of the skirts, bonnet and that rear wing.
