few questions about the s15...

[weemanFD3S1]

i know this really doesn't relate to alot to initial D but i really couldn't find a forum about the s15 so here i go

Is the s15 available in the US?

If so is it called by a different name or something?

Try the Silvia forum.

There was no S15 sold in the US.

[chrisellis]

it is also known as the 200SX

i have yet to see one imported to the US. if anyone does do it, it will probably for race only considering it still costs about $25k in australia. yea i know they import skylines for a lot more, but then again those RB engines are killers

[Corey I RanciD]

It was never sold here however a few have been imported. They're usually registered as off-road vehicles and trailered to tracks to represent the shops that own them. I don't know of any privately owned S15s in the US.

[weemanFD3S1]

are you sure its a 200sx? because i know here in the states a 200sx is this tiny lil 4door car but i've seen the SE-R versions.. so i dont know.. i doubt its a s15 is a 200sx lol..

Yeah I don't think so.

The 200SX is this squat little punk ass car, at least here in the states. Someone else say that the few they are here are racing or drift cars and that's true. (Plus think about it, if the S-13, PS-13, 180SX AND S-14 are all labeled as the 240 SX in america, why would they go back and label the S-15, 200sx?)

I mean of course I could be mistaken, which then I'd like to see a car with the 200sx badges on it...

[VQuick]

The Silvia and 180SX were called the 200SX in the UK and Australia. That's probably what chrisellis was talking about.

[chrisellis]

sorry bout the confusion, yes i am talking about in australia, not sure about anywhere else, but the s15 is known only as the 200SX over here.

[kman10587]

Yeah, here in America, the 200SX is the Sentra SE-R coupe from 95-98. With about 140 hp and front-wheel-drive, it's hardly an S15

[VQuick]

In the US, the 200SX was also the S12 Silvia, albeit with an FJ-series four and a VG-series V6.

The s12 never came with am FJ in the US. It was CA- series na/turbo (CA20E and CA18ET). If it did, would'nt more people tune it?

On second thought... probably not.

in australia the S-13 & 180SX are known as silvias, and the S-14 & S-15 are known as 200SX. most people just call the S-15 a silvia since their from the same sort of group
