how can I find a Silvia?

[BleachZee]

Here's a nice 1966 Silvia for you in the US! And its for sale

It has a nice 2.0L engine and dual SU carbs pumping in the flames.

It's really here in the U.S.? I noticed the domestic placards, but seriously is it? Where can I find more information about this specific car?

[BleachZee]

Yes, this car is really in California. I saw it for sale a few weeks ago on http://classifieds.excite.com/ but now it is gone.

Here is a web page with some information on this car.
http://www.311s.org/registry/1966/sp311-70370.html

It has the 1600cc engine and does the quarter mile in 17.9 seconds! wow!

I can't believe how hard it is for you guys in the US.

I have just bought a 2000 S15 Silvia here in New Zealand for NZD$34 000 which comes to approximately US$15000 probably less.

I wonder how the conversions are vs the real thing.

The S15 really is an amazing car.

Thanks for the information BleachZee! I've always seen that car here and there but never knew much about it. Once again, thanks.

Merkin, consider yourself blessed. Here, not only do we not get the S15, but even if we do convert the S14 (front fascia and engine), we still won't be getting the enhanced chassis balancing and tightening that Nissan incorporated into the S15. Not only that, but we miss out on the supremely updated S15 interior: the new steering wheel, the modern dash paneling, the factory pillar mounted boost gauge, nicer seats and all the right curves--after all, something like this is important since you, the driver, will be sitting inside the car for the majority of the time. Too bad for us.

The silvia s15 .... i love taht car.. I saw the 180sx wit the s15 convwersion on it in the superstreet mag. and well that thing whoops ass.. i also saw a conversion from one of our 240sx into a s15 the guy did a real good job.. i couldnt tell cept for the back of course.. anyway.. gettin the whole front conversion has gotten to be something quite common.. before where i didnt see too many 240sx into any silvia now i see a lot more in mags and at car shows.. also signal auto is in america (calif. to bemore exact.. dont really kno where tho.. i live in florida) now so they can probably can get stuff for the SR20DET (since they tuned the SR20DET in that 180sx of theres and many other cars they gots.. which have sr20dets in jpn).. which is about a $7k swap.. tho it is way betta then the KA engines we gots in our 240SXs..
www.aerotrends.com has the front end conversion. might wanna check that out.. its listed as the striker body kit for a 240sx 97-98 model..
damnit.. i cant remember the site that has the sr20det swap... if i remember it ill post it..:flash:

That's the kit from VIS. I'd much rather go directly to VIS in Monterey Park, and have them send over a different front bumper and hood. They have some really established connections over in Japan.

The company I believe is called Motorex, so if you are so enchanted with an exotic right-hand drive car that will amaze everyone they are the people to talk to. I hope that helps your search.

Check the date. Usually, a thread that's 2-3 years old is a little to old to reply to, but I guess it's good that your looking up old stuff instead of posting dumbass questions...

hey kidracer i get where your commin from im in Ohio and its pretty hard even find a 240 here but i found a couple (91s) and i think thats the route im gunna go. I wanna be diff and im gunna be diff, so more power to ya! I got this way because of all the ecplises and civics i see with pips and lowered that think theyre the shit...well when i get out on the streets theyll never wanna put another damn pipe on there civic...and the best part is that i know im gunna own them because ive already raced 4 civs and 2 eclipses...blew them all away...of coarse i was drivin my dads 300zx TT but hey lol i still beat them and shut them up at least for that night. lol. but like i said when i get out there with my 240 im not only gunna carry this forum on my back round ohio im gunna make sure that these civics stop popin up thinkin theyre the shit.

[blwinurdrsoff]

also theres a ton of bodykits at takakaira.com thats the site and its posted on the newbies look here thread about...hell i forget the whole title but its like the 4th down i think...they have a ton of sites so i suggest hittin that up...and sorry if i put the wrong idea out there about me and the civics...its just ruining where people are taking the import scene in the US

[Chuki_breath]
