this is the most retarded thread evar did you really need to ask this question to know the fucking answer? you want to know how hard it is to find a car that was never sold in the states, and then if you find someone with it, you want to know if they would sell it? and the best part is you want this in buffalo. lol im going to go finish my coffee, because i am about to start banning people for being stupid. ---

Maybe you should do some research then. There is this new and upcoming thing called “google” where you type in keywords and it finds you websites pertaining to them. It’s very cool. Besides, you looked at a plain jane nissan (in the rest of the world) and didnt think “Hmmm, I’ve never seen one of those on the road before and it’s 5 model years old, I bet they didnt bring them over here…” ---

It’s very cool. Yeah right, and I suppose you’re probably also going to try to tell me that they have the internet on computers now! But yeah, as pointed out, the closest thing you have a shot at to a Silvia here is a 240SX. Which is basically an LHD Silvia with a KA24DE instead of an SR20DET. But they’re pretty easy to swap SR20DET’s into, or if you’d rather that poor old truck motor is actually pretty stout so wouldn’t be a bad gig to boost either. ---
