that’s a completely different kind of car though… If you don’t know how to handle a mid-engine car, and you try to drive it like an FR or an FF, you’re going to smash it.
my dad’s 91 MR2 spun a few times…
it could be a sileighty…
thats very f-ing doubtful, but it could be.
very effing doubtful.
240 decals, LHD… but I guess a really crazy Japanese guy could have imported all that shit…
but then is would have still been a been a 180, 200 or 240sx at one point in its life 
haha at least i can ride it down big hills in the snow. It will suck pushing it back up.
Not true, sileighties were produced from nissan. Extremely rare.
Some crazy ass japanese guy, COULD have imported a sileightly to the states. Chopped the firewall out and converted to LHD, and then scrapped the sr20det for the kick ass ka24 power plant. Hey it could happen… 
Turbo probe 
was it nissan or was it a sub company like the one the produced the vert coupes?
No, they were made by Nissan. Only a handful of them were run off though. I believe its under 400-500 true sileighties. If you want the whole story, ill type it out as to WHY they made them. But if you dont, just take my word for it 
actually i wouldnt mind as to hearing why nissan made factory sil-eighties, i always thought it was something tuners did to be creative

I was too lazy to explain, so i found a copy paste that tells the story pretty well.

Back when Nissan was making lots of sports cars, namely the Silvia and the 180SX, many young 180SX drivers were out in the mountain paths or wherever, trying to drift. Results were usually unsuccessful, and many drivers ended their nights with smashed and damaged front ends. So you’ve just went broke buying your 180SX, how can you afford to pay for repairs??
Simple. Since the front end parts of Silvias were less expensive than that of the 180SX, and just happens to simply bolt on without many complicated steps, many 180SX drivers found themselves fixing their cars, replacing damaged front ends with ones that of a Silvia.
And just like that, a trend was born. 180SX drivers who didn’t have busted-up fronts were replacing their front ends with Silvias. I wouldn’t be surprised if some people intentionally drifted horribly to dent their front ends, just so they could have an excuse to hop on the trend. Before you knew it heavily modified street racing 180SXs with Silvia front ends were cruising around the streets of Japan.
It wasn’t too long before Nissan realized what was going on around them, and they realized that: they weren’t making any money from all of this! So, plans began to move… it wouldn’t be good for Nissan’s reputation to have built a car which was inspired by illegal street racing, so they kept production of the Sileighty very low key. And if I’m not mistaken, anywhere from 400-4,000 manufactured Sileighties were ever made.
What’s the difference between a manufacturer made Sileighty and a homemade Sil-Eighty? Well, first and obviously, the badge on the rear, which normally says “180SX” on a 180SX reads “Sileighty” on the factory manufacturer’s car. And in order to entice people to buy the Sileighty, Nissan beefed up the car slightly, to give people notice. Factory manufactured Sileighties have an estimated 24.2 MORE hp, and 3.6 kms of torque. Now you’ve got a car that’s ready to hit the mountains right out of the factory, without any outside tuning or modifications. /snip
i knew that the trend began as a cheaper way to repair they 180sx due to touge/drifting accidents but i didnt realize that nissan saw this trand and made them.
Jimmy
neither, id buy a turbo buick
ever sinced dyno day eh?
seriously don’t get anything… you ruin cars
240 would be the best bang for the buck, but their are other options out there for sure
who the hell are you?
nobody mentioned the Starion-Conquest, they’re pretty sweet to…
another mopar driver :eek:
