S15s were sold outside of Japan as a 200sx also in NZ and Aus Specs were similar to the japan market but the spec r had a t28 turbo from an S14a so it made roughly 200PS rather than the japan 250PS

[@JackTheNoober]

Here in EU we got it as 200sx also I believe. S13 with pop-up lights and S14 Kouki and zenki are both called 200sx. Most S13 here are with CA18, some have SR20. All S14s have the SR20

Don't forget about the S13.4 13.5, 14.3, 14.5, 15.3, 15.4. But my favorite variant would have to be the Odyvia. Technically we got the hatch and Onevias. Never got the fixed headlights here.

[@alexander18ism]

You could have also included the Nismo 270R, a Nismo tuned S14 with the actually strongest factory version of the SR20DET producing around 270hp. But i guess since it was limited to 50 cars it is not very popular.

The 270R is a crazy car coming from the factory. Maybe we should do a video with special Nismo versions of cars??? - Sam

Another "factory" silvia that's extremely rare is the p-ride spec-z made by a small dealership with a design reminiscent of an early z

Forgot to mention the 240sx s13 came with 2 different front ends, pignose (single cam) and sharknose (dual cam). Also the s14 was produced all the way until the year 2000 for the European market. S15 came in 4 notable variations. Spec R with sr20det, spec S sr20de, Autech Version 200hp sr20de with 6-speed transmission and the Varrietta (retractable hardtop).

[@FitmentIndustries]

Good additions! I wanted to really nerd out and list all of the different versions but I couldn't do an hour long video :( The Autech Version is one of my favorites...super overlooked! - Sam

[@Kinzoku_jp]

thats almost too much detail because i could add that: there was also an "almighty" model s13 silvia as well as diamond, club and special editions Type 1, type 2, type r, type g, type s and type x 180sx's as well as ca18 in those as well as only that engine in the EU s14 had Qs and Ks model and type s within Qs/Ks, in Aus there were luxury, sports and limited. both s14 and s15 had aero and non aero models and s15 having different special edition interesting interior colours but most of all, the s12 hatch is underrated and awesome see my point, too much detail

[@Pacooka5]

if we're adding more details - s13 convertible in japan was made by Autech, and all 240sx convertibles actually left factory as coupes, and were converted into verts by American Specialty Cars

I came up in the tuner scene of the late-90s and early-00s. I can remember watching early vids of the S chassis cars from Japan and immediately falling in love. Something about about their sleek look and power packed form factor that made it hard to deny. By far, the S15 is my personal favorite. Guess it’s time to start saving or playing the lottery, so I can take advantage of one once they become “legally” available for export.😎

[@illustriousinc8608]

That's funny. I started playing the lottery a few months ago to maybe be able to afford a decent 180sx, S14 kouki or S15 before there are none left. Fingers crossed.

[@McarthurMotors]

My favourite feature would be the exchangeability between platforms for the car. It was basic but you could take parts from 300zx,q45,j30,sentra and make the thing epic. When I first got into them a decade ago here in canada you could buy a car for $1000 and a sr20 swap for 900-1500 all day. S14 sr20’s we’re around 1800 and the s15 was around 2200 with the 6 speed. Rb20’s we’re 800 bucks and the rb26 with the trans was only $2500

Ah, brings back memories, had a UK 200SX S14 pre-facelift, got it when it was 3 years old. Didn't know at the time I was driving a future classic. Felt like you were practically sitting on the ground, lovely stitched leather short throw 6 speed gearbox, and very heavy but short clutch. Wife hated it as it scared her silly going around corners due to it being low to the ground. Unfortunately the arrival of kids ended my fun.

I'm in the process of restoring and upgrading my RS13U (CA18DET). Engine is out, disassembled down to head and block, will take it to a shop later. I have almost took out the whole interior except the wires, that's next. It will be a bare chassis pretty much just with suspension left on. Then off to get cleaned up, protected and resprayed. After that take off the whole suspension, clean it, sand it, protect, paint, put back together with new bushings etc, 5 lug conversion, upgraded brakes, looking at 300ZX ones, def one of the most popular upgrades. Stock brakes are not good even for a stock car, give it some additional power...yeah no. Then tidy up the interior, with all new wiring throughout the car and standalone ecu. All that without even mentioning the engine and driveline stuff yet + different details of previous points. It's gonna be and already is my own labor of love, passion, perfection and attention to detail where the car will be pretty much like it came of the production line if not better in terms being a fine restomod (or at least I think so). But that feeling unfortunately sometimes dissipates and comes back because all of that is gonna take a lot of time as money is a major problem, so I try to do everything myself and esp. when it comes to buying parts, and having them shipped and maybe imported if necessary.
