Well awhile back I got an idea from http://www.nissaninfiniticlub....36367 to make something easier to look at and show pictures of the history of Silvia. Well here it is. I have posted this in other forums. I just had the time to make this yesterday. Enjoy!

The S15 is the last of a dying breed. Born only for a brief period, 1999-2002, it became the most beautiful of all. With ranging options Spec R to the N/A Varietta.S15The lightning bolt was bornOn the moveSimple yet elegant and extremly functional

On a personal note, I hope Nissan brings her back.

Tag and a quick question: Are those the full res pics? I mean is there a site with those shots at a higher resolution? The reason I ask is because I work at a large scale digital graphics company and I have access to all sorts of ridiculously godly printers that can make those into room-decorating posters for my house. ;)

Yes those are the full res pics. That would be absolutely awesome for you to make posters out of these and sell them to the board.

Lemme see what kinda quality Photshop can blow those up to and see how they print out. If it goes well, I'll look into to that. :)I already have an 18x24 poster on my door. You don't have it up here but it's the pretty common yellow S1, mid-drift with a black background. *Squeege*

Nice find. I just downloaded their screensaver too! Does anyone know where I can find any TV commercials or video from reviews of the Silvia or 240's?

Yeah... sorry guys 02 is right. I read the site wrong. I thought it was off when I was typing it in because I remember seeing a Best Motoring Video of a 2002 S15. Can a Mod or a Admin fix the year please?

BuudQeizErr - I am jealous that you got to see one of the first Silvia's. What a great flashback that must have been.

Comming soon : The history of Skyline in Skyline General Chat section. Please come and see this one too.

Thanks for that post. The older silvias are awesome.

And... for some reason I think the interior of the S15 is possibly one of the best designed ****pits Ive ever seen. It looks soo amazing. That picture just shows its simplicity with style. Oh how I wish I could drive one.

EDIT:: Thats really funny I wasnt swearing at all, but it blocked out part of my legitimate word. :pface
