Need Sileighty info!!!

[VoltronGundam]

If anyone can help me out with this, I would greatly appreciate it. What I need to know is what emblems and labels were on the factory/dealership Sileighty. Not the ones that people converted, but the ones released by Nissan. I know that the taillight center piece reads "SILEIGHTY", but I need to know what the others say/are. Thanks!

There was a very limited run of about 500 actual sileighty's.
I remember seeing awhile ago on some japanese car auction site a real Sileighty was being auctioned off. It ended at about 4 million yen... which is about 34k. that's quite a bit of money IMO for something that can be built for way cheaper than that. They were just paying for the rarity of it though so it would be worth it to some people

I realize that the Sileighty is a VERY rare car, but all I want to know is what emblems I need for the factory version, like I know that the center tail light piece reads "SILEIGHTY", but is there any logos on the side glass, and if so what, and what hood emblems I will need, thing like that. If anyone can supply pictures, that would be excellent!

Yes, of course the Sileighty is a very rare car because it is reported that only 400 were made. But no the only thing you basically thing you need is the Sileighty rear panel. Which I have never seen on any sites and you most likely will not because they are so dam rare.

a Nissan Sileighty is a 180SX body with a Nissan Silvia S13(Nissan produced the S13 front end Sileighties but coversionists may use S14 or S15 fronts also) and Nissan saw how popular this trend that was started when a 180SX owner wrecked his car and realized it was cheaper to get an S13 front end to replace his detroyed 180SX nose so he did. later, others did it for the same reason and even more just because they loved the look. so Nissan saw they could make money making an actual Nissan Sileighty. and they sure as hell did. Since it was only a trend they only made several hundred. Im not sure about the number posted earlier, i believe it was a bit more than 400.. the Sileighty came with an SR20DET engine (i think, lol) and so that was another thing people loved about it. the more powerful engine.

this forum has some fun as hell smilies, lol

nice double post.

you posted nearly the exact same definition that i did in the FAQ at the 240SX forums here on AF.

but sadly, none of what you posted has anything to do with what he ASKED!

Thank you Iketani. For anyone that didn't get what you just told them, I'll reidderate(sp?) for you. I understand the history behind the Sileighty, that is the whole reason I'm wanting to do the conversion. I just need to know the details on the car itself, what hood emblem did it have, if any. What all on the car had "SILEIGHTY" on it. Things like that. I realize that the Sileighty is an almost mythical car, that parts may be the hardest JDM parts to get my hands on, but if I know that to look for, it helps me get that much closer. I appreciate all that have tried to help, but I'm still no closer than when I started.

the rear glass panels to the rear of the door windows read "sileighty" instead of "180sx" in japan, or "240sx" here in the US. i also believe the official sileighty had the optional aero bumper standard along with kouki side skirts, rear apron and wing. also kouki/type x rims and a special ecu which delivered 215ps.

Thank you Re037, that is the info I needed to know. But where there any hood emblems? I think that is the last thing I need to know.

it appears as though there were no hood emblems, this is the best pic that i could find
