Nissan Silvia MCS14?

[092326001]

What is the difference between a Silvia S14 and a MCS14?
the MCS14 is said to stand for Minor Changes S14 but what are the changes?
are they purely cosmetic or are there mechanical differences as well?

From an Australian market POV...

All chassis numbers are prefixed with "S14A"

Introduced December 1996.
Characterised by the "flatnose" front styling and a gunmetal Nissan badge on the rear. On the rear, the "200SX" badge moved to the left side, and the script changed slightly. (I don't know why...) Mechanically, there are a few slight changes. The boost sensor was removed, because the revised ECU now infers boost from the Air Flow Meter and RPM you can see where it used to take off from the intercooler pipe near the battery. Rear suspension pick-up points were modified. The S14 used basically the same lower arm as the S13, but the S14a uses wider bushes.

In late 1998 the Australian cars lost the Climate A/C. In the last printing run of the Australian brochure, I noticed that "Brilliant Blue" (an S15 colour) replaced "Riviera Blue" in the lineup. I suspect this is more a production scheduling change than anything else.

Not a fanboy, I just know things.
