What do you recommend for a young driver?

[Chas]

umm, something easy and forgiving. S13

[nissanguy_24]

yes an S13 would be a fine learning vehichle

FB's- people just think it goes down like FD then FC then FB but since they started off a new chassis design with the Fc it used to be SA...


And it's a 12A not a 12B(not an engine)

Just for sake of correction, im almost 100% sure that the RX-7 FD3S ran in Japan till' 2002.

They ran from late 91-2002.Didn't hit America until 1993,but then it was waaay overpriced anyways(only ran from 93-95...Too many dumbasses owned RX-7's and didn't understand rotaries aka always using their warrantiy weekly..killed Mazda)...just like Skylines in America .

btw you forgot the C on SA22C.

Also....The S13 200sx's only came with a CA18DET,they never recieved the SR20DET..That only came in the S14 200sx's

ya i'm about turning 15 to but anon, your shouldn't start right away into drifting. You should learn basics first before u start going sideways. Just worrying about safety here.

that's right safety first...learn to drive straight before going sideways....then when u really good go sideways on a straight(it has been done).....best car 4 a new d-er is a s13 but around i live s14 is more common

You guys need to tell him the truth... They aren't chassis codes like everyone said. Its a puzzle... Move the combinations around and eventually the answer will reveal itself. Everyone on here has done it, and you should to, without trying to weasel out the answer from others. Now, go grab a pen and a pad of paper and get to it.

If you're saying there technically was no FB, I somewhat agree. There was a VIN pattern changeover in 1981 and SA22C was removed from the VIN and replaced by FB33...

This is the pattern:

Model Year VIN Ser Numbers
1979 SA22C - 500001 +
1980 SA22C - 600001 +
1981 FB33 - 500001 + (USA)
1982 FB33 - 600001 +
1983 FB33 - 700001 +
1984 FB33 - 800001 +
1985 FB33 - 856209 +

I am also going to start driving soon, by driving school do you mean like a racing school? Or just an oridinary learn-to-drive-school. Also, why should we get a FF car? I honestly will probably only have enough money to afford one car, so why shouldnt i start to drive in a car that i will need to be very comfortable in once i actually start drifting?
