what is sileighty?

[silvia R]

what is a sil-eighty? is it just a 89-94 240sx with a s13 front end conversion? cause one of my friends keeps callin his car a sil-eighty. and that is all he has is a conversion kit. no engine swap. please help, kind of a stupid question sorry lol

[Chingon]

that pretty much sums it up...w/the exception that the "real" ones had either a ca or sr.

[silvia R]

does it have to be a fastback 240 to be considered to be a sil-eighty. what if it was a coupe? no diference?

[Ninetyfive240sxSE]

it has to be a fb if u want a sil-eighty. in japan, the 240 fb is called 180, to put a silvia conversion for a coupe, it will be called silvia (s13). in japan, the silvia (s13) have the same as the 240 coupe end or u can call it sil40 lol. in japan, i think they call the 240 coupe as onevia lol

[silvia R]

ok thanks for clearing that up everyone

[zombieman]

you might want to take a note that the S13 refers both a coupe (ps13) and fastback (rps13). so to sum it up, your buddy already have a s13 to begin with, all he did was put on a silvia conversion.

"P" means SR20 btw people. If you have a stock 240, leave the "P" out of your cool jdm naminga. Just a PSA.

r means the hatch and H is coupe i believe?

Also, if you look to the top right of your screen, you'll notice a blinking SEARCH button, just type in what your looking for and you'll be amazed at what it can do Time for flash cards!

i can't stress enough

Now Nissan did release an "official" Sileighty, right? In super-limited numbers? I thought I read that somewhere, could be wrong. I realize that in general, it's a homebrew conversion arisen from the fact that Japanese drifters found it cheaper to buy Silvia fronts than 180 fronts when they had banged up their front ends drifting.

[rudee023]

It was an actual dealership (forgot the name) that released the production sileighties. They had new badging, tweaks to their suspension and some minor motor differences to up horsepower a bit.

[zombieman]

yes, i already know "p" stands for the sr20 motor, and of course i'm pretty sure someone will point it out (lazy as i am, i decide not to edit), but my point to the person is all i'm trying to do is knowledge this person of the s13 chasis.....

[jdmfreak]

Oh man. This **** again? How many times is it now?

[kamikazestorm420]

in japan .. if you crash your 180sx it is a lot cheaper to just put a s13 front on there rather than fixin the healight motors for the pop ups ..

so a lot of ppl in japan put the s13 front for that reason.

and yes they did produce REAL sileightys in japan .. but only limited numbers
