Nismo vs Autech - The Silvia Everyone Forgot About

[@JDMArchives]

I really enjoyed making this video. Hopefully you enjoy!

[@headless4013]

I really enjoyed watching it! Thanks for solid content my dude. It's so cool to see all those JDM specials explained really well. Keep up the good work! Merry Christmas!

[@MrTimstaaa]

Love your videos. Keep up the great work. There is one car I'd like to see you research and that's the Daihatsu charade DeTomaso version. Many many years ago my dad was mechanic and I remember he used to have a few customers with these in Melbourne Australia but it is so hard to find information on the specific vehicle.

[@JDMArchives]

​@@MrTimstaaa funny you say that, I just acquired the most wild Daihatsu Move (kei car) brochure. The OEM options are not even believable... Im talking, full chrome conversion bodykits, character decals that cover the entire side profile, zebra interiors etc.etc. 🤣 Im gonna have fun with that one

[@mahiru20ten]

I hope you could make a video about the various Mazdaspeed packages like the A to C-spec Roadster, Demio A-Spec, RX-7 A-Spec and such.

[@JDMArchives]

It’s interesting you say that. I was just looking at the Demio touring A Spec the other day. Full bodykit, custom headlights, oem Mazda ganador style mirrors. Really interesting car.

[@blackshadow7192]

Autech is basically a coachbuilder , similar to ASC(American Sunroof Company) in the US, but in house.

[@JDMArchives]

It’s crazy how they overlap into performance as well for Nissan. They can display a performance modded car right alongside a utility modded van.

[@rod.h8064]

Ah, this version of the S14 is avaliable in a 1/24 kit from Fujimi, most of the instructions point to the base version but it does have parts in the box to do this with 2 front bumper options.

[@JDMArchives]

Thats really cool

[@mrredchevelle2672]

That Red Silvia is gorgeous. Great video!

[@JDMArchives]

I know right! Thanks 🙏

[@girardi8834]

Thank you 🙏

[@JDMArchives]

Thanks mate. Good to see your profile picture back in the comments, I feel like I’ve seen it before on one of my other videos

[@The_guy_that_made]

​@@JDMArchives Sorry for the late response, I honestly don't know about my other comments but seen all your videos. Thanks for sharing and archiving stuff that we all love :]

[@alessashaydigital]

😮ooooooooooooooooooooh I can't wait love these videos 😍

[@JDMArchives]

@@alessashaydigital thanks! Hopefully it delivers 😁

[@hdoglesby]

I see you had some magazines and brochures in hand - Did you use those same magazines to photo or scan the images for the video? Just curious. Great edit and VO. Thanks for not pandering to get it past the 10 minute mark.

[@JDMArchives]

Yeh! I’ve been collecting for years both digitally and hard copies. I have an extremely high res scanner so that’s how I’m able to get such high quality out of such small pictures. Thanks for the appreciation of my hardwork 👌

[@JAGGfit]

Love these videos, they are chefs kiss🤌! Always looking forward to more.

[@JDMArchives]

Thank you! I do pour my heart and soul into them 👌

[@Folkert123]

Just this discoverd this channel. Love this kind of information!! Keep it going man :)

[@JDMArchives]

Welcome! I’m glad you’re enjoying the info, it takes a long time to get together

[@max-I-am]

Someone needs to ricer rescue that Miami one. I’m not an s14 guy but this thing is sick.

[@JDMArchives]

I think I saw it sold, I wonder what’s gone happen to it 🤔

[@coolraplv3450]

I always love these Videos the video feels longer than it actually is just because there is so much information and facts. Nice work !!! 👍 And would love to see a video on the Nissan pulsar Gti-R.

[@JDMArchives]

Thanks for the feedback. It’s great to know people are enjoying the content. I’m really hoping to do one on the GTiR

[@MaroSparrow]

Love your videos! I have a 2006 Stagea Autech Axis Edition so this is even more interesting for me 🙂 waiting for more, hopefully another one with “rare parts on JDM cars”

[@JDMArchives]

Nice car! Thanks 🙏 I’ll do another one of those soon

[@bogdanfabian2330]

Could you make a video about the Mazdaspeed 3 in the near future? i seen the car in all childhood videogames and i would like to know more about it! Great video as always keep up the good work!

[@JDMArchives]

That sounds amazing. I’ll look into it! Thanks, I love these comments, keeps me going 🙏

[@Just-doing-me]

W vid bro💯💯💯

[@Just-doing-me]

Can you pin my comment please 🙏🏽

[@JDMArchives]

Absolutely! Thanks 🙏

[@petevenarie9285]

Thorough info, thanks mate! Any chance you could do something like this on the Kenmeri?

[@JDMArchives]

Absolutely! I’ll add it to my list. One of my favourite Retro skylines of all time. Thanks for watching mate 🙏

Happy new years....

Thank you! Just saw your comment

[@troykennedy1087]

Silvia's are just beautiful cars. I don't think I've met someone who doesn't like them!

[@Ca18detEnjoyer]

As an s13 owner I’ve also never met anyone who didn’t actually like them except for one person but they had such a bad reason for it, they thought they all felt cheap and drove bad but that’s because they bought a really shitty one that was so thrashed so their opinion on it shouldn’t really be held to too much value

[@troykennedy1087]

@@Ca18detEnjoyer S13-S15 is one of very few cars that is universally loved by all car people. All three are beautiful, iconic and now expensive hahaha. Hope you enjoy your S13 for years to come!!!!

[@JDMArchives]

I know right!? I feel like Silvia’s and Chasers are the most agreed upon JDM cars in the community.

[@Ca18detEnjoyer]

@@troykennedy1087 as painful as it’s been, it’s been the most easy to work on, and most surprising to some, the most reliable car I’ve ever owned and by the most fun. It’s been worth every penny

[@troykennedy1087]

@@Ca18detEnjoyer That's awesome!! Old cars always have that simplicity about them which I personally love. Heres to many more years driving the S13 :)

[@kingnorlen]

Hmm, about the white guages, did the regular kouki silvias not come with those as standard? Here in europe all the kouki s14's (actually produced until 2000 here) came with white guages, only the zenki had the standard black.

[@JDMArchives]

It’s interesting you say that because I was watching the original tv commercial with the Kouki showcasing the white gauges. But yet the Autech advertises them as a feature in this brochure. Maybe they were a very common optional extra or maybe the Ks MF-T advertised a standard feature. Bizzare!?

[@kingnorlen]

@JDMArchives Yeah, i do believe it was standard i all of them. Maybe they meant the added GT-R battery/oilpressure/boost cluster? 🤔

[@clutch44444]

I love big body coloured wings, they look so good

[@JDMArchives]

They do look so good!

[@original__gmebvy]

The only one more forgotten than this model is the Autech Varietta, which is a non turbo S15 hardtop convertible, of which only 1,142 were made.

[@JDMArchives]

I love the varietta! I have some great brochures and info on that car. From memory the retractable hardtop is operated off a remote! Don’t quote me on that until I do a full video on it, because I’m not 100% sure I remember correctly 🤣

[@kadenmarshall9524]

Just in time to watch on the way to work! Great content as always!

[@JDMArchives]

Thank you, a lot of work goes into the videos 🙏 so I love reading these comments!

[@MissingNumb]

I remember an Autech S15 vert being imported to a dealer in my area in like 2005, they only wanted $25k USD I believe.

[@JDMArchives]

That’s crazy. Take me back

[@Rally_Armaments]

You would like the Black Limited AE86 if you haven't mentioned it already!

[@JDMArchives]

I haven’t mentioned it, I have a few AE86 catalogs I’ll have a dig around 👌

[@Alexander-ns2su]

I see silvia. I click

[@JDMArchives]

Thank you kind sir 🙏 I hope you enjoyed.

[@clawsss]

i saw one of these at auction a few months back. cant remember if it sold or not

[@JDMArchives]

I wonder if it flew under the radar!? 🤔

[@clawsss]

@ could have flown under the radar. also could have been more than just a few months though

[@JianYong-KorijoProdrifter]

Can you make a Video about the Impul R R31 Skyline? and also the GT auto Spoiler? for the r31

[@JDMArchives]

I do have some Impul stuff. I’ll have to have a look through it all

[@JianYong-KorijoProdrifter]

@JDMArchives Thanks

[@fxckoff1390]

What auction site is he using?

[@usualsuspectsgarage]

they’ve also built race engines for nissan

[@JDMArchives]

Nice! I wonder if it was a collab with Nismo?

[@KingL1berty]

Can you try make a video on a 300ZX, it sounds dumb. But if theres any info for why they never made on (i guess because it was more of a sport luxury, not sporty enough like the 350Z) but thats all cause makeing one would be cool.

[@JDMArchives]

I love the 300zx. Great car, I’ll ad it to the list.

[@KingL1berty]

@@JDMArchives i did a typo, i was supposed to say they never made a Nismo

[@FISHCANNONBALL]

nice

[@JDMArchives]

🙏

[@josemontes9105]

What kinda wheels are those. They looks like the wheels i have on my Camry

[@JDMArchives]

yeh the 90s wheels can sometimes be questionable, oddly I like the retro wheels 🛞

[@zach4161]

Watching this is so sad knowing the current state of Nissan as a company..

[@JDMArchives]

I know… it seems like they must not survive this one. Hopefully Honda can hold them up.

[@96st206]

S Four Deen Silvia, Skyline GD-R

[@JDMArchives]

🤣 I try to keep my accent out of it as much as I can but sometimes I just get too passionate hahaha

[@thesis4349]

So even more underground than the 270R.

[@JDMArchives]

So underrated!

If you had to describe the car in one word… you nailed it

[@retardinho3146]

Hi, i Heard about JdM prelude IV TV set in the car. But I can’t find any photos and information about this. Maybe you will find something interesting. Also in prelude IV it was option to have key less opening lock.

[@retardinho3146]

The tv set kit was made by Gates

[@JDMArchives]

I’ll have to look into that and see if I can find it 👌
