ok....I have no clue about the A, or L, (yet, but I'll find out for ya)

The Silvia K's is the turbo version (SR20DET), and the Q's is the n/a version (SR20DE)

can u remember exactly how the A's and L's badges looked? what'd they read?

edit: look familiar?Original made only for Japanese s-13a's

EDIT: WHERE ARE MY MANNERS? WELCOME TO NICO :D :D :D :newbie:

J's, Q's, K's

No A's, no L's as mainstream production cars.

J, Q, K all denote the different series of the cars and are derived from a deck of cards (Jack, Queen, King)

J's were base models, non turbo, and fairly limited in options. Q's were the luxury versions and/or the non-turbo versions and had alot of options (alloys, sunroof, leather, etc.)K's were the turbocharged cars, better suspension, alloys, etc.

Possibly, but all the K's with the aero package I've seen had K's badges.

Behind the doors about 6" out above the rocker panel for the smaller K's badge, the hood had a badge as well.

I have never seen a S13 S14 or S15 with an "A" badge. Im pretty sure only S13's and S14's has J's Q's and K's designations. The aero bumper was probably only availible on Q's and K's for the S13

No, the Silvia Almighty was a special edition car made in 93.

Just like the "Ken & Mary" Skyline, and the rest of the "Art Force" Silvia's.

It was N/a w. an SR20DE and other wise was nothing special.
