Well... Here are the raw specs:

'99 Nissan Silvia:

Length: 4445 mm
Width: 1695 mm
Height: 1285 mm
Wheelbase: 2525 mm

'02 RSX

Length: 4375 mm
Width: 1725 mm
Height: 1389 mm
Wheelbase: 2570 mm

So...the Silvia is 70 mm longer than the RSX. In scale, the Silvia should be 3 mm longer than the RSX (by dividing the difference by 24). The RSX is wider than the Silvia by 30 mm, or 1.25 mm in scale. The RSX is 104 mm taller than the Silvia, or 4.3 mm taller in scale.

Judging by your pics, I think fujimi did a pretty accurate tooling of both kits. I haven't seen a Silvia up front yet but I have seen several RSX (what we call the new type Rs here in the US) on the streets, and let me tell you they are much beefier than the previous Type R. Just my 2 cents.
