Sort of, though I'm pretty sure those aren't stock JDM S13 Silvia lights on it. A SilEighty is Silvia front end with 180SX rear end (as opposed to an Onevia, which is the other way round )

I think it's bastard ugly tbh.

might be bastard ugly, but with a skyline engine in an S13 its also bastard quick!

and the rear lights are Kouki (later model post-94 180sx i think) lights...pretty common conversion for s13 modders.

Isn't it supposed to have an SR20DET engine?

Them ones that fetch a mighty fine price a few days before Race Wars.

Theres quite a few RB20/25/26 powered Silvia/200SX/180SXs in the drift/drag scene down here, they seem to go pretty well with heaps of power but lose a bit of their balance due to the RB-series motors being quite heavy.


ETA: actually IIRC most S13s had a CA18DET, it was only the very last ones that had the SR20DET.

nope, all S13s had the CA18DET bar the special ones eg 180SX... and I was wondering if this Sil-Eighty was one of the special ones.

[wadeski]

post-94 or so the Japanese ones got the SR20det.

and the cool rear lights.

i think this was originally a UK car though, so yes it started life with a CA18.

but that RB25 must make it go some....

[GravelBen]

It was the front lights I was talking about more than the rears...pretty sure they look different to the S13 Silvias I've seen round here. (which are mostly JDM cars)

[marfgtxx]

mmmm thats rather nice

[T_J]

I know who's selling that. It's a uk S13 shell with silvia front end (sileighty). Real bargain considering all the work thats gone into it.
