i was basicly wondering about some of the JDM sylvia badges. mostly what badges were used in what years and where they went.

my first question concerns the lightning bolt badges. the only place ive seen em is the hood on S15s. were these used on S13s and 14s? also wondering where and when the shield badges were used.

also know of any other interesting JDM badges used on the sylvia?

well it's sIlvia but the lightning bolt was the hood emblem only on the S15, the sheilds are on the sides after the doors and above the character line of the S14.

the S13 side badging was;

J's (NA) Q's (NA)K's (Turbo)

The S13 side trim said;

(on J's & Q's) "twin cam 16 valve"

(on K's) "twin cam turbo intercooler"

There was no hood badge, it had the trim between the headlights which said "silvia"

The S14 side badging was:

Q's (NA)K's (Turbo)

The S14 side trim on both said;

"silvia"

There was a stylized "S" badge on the hood

The S15 side badging was;

Spec S (NA)Spec R (Turbo)

There was the lightning bolt "S"

All said "silvia" between the taillights in one form or another.

they had the "twin cam turbo intercooler" but the models do not have badges to indicate them. You can tell by the front bumper or taillights what type you are dealing with.
