We just got in a Nissan Silvia S15 and let me tell you the car is beauty. Nissan messed up in a major way by not bringing this car over to the states. Pictures in a few minutes.

I never understood why they didn't bring it over.

Was trying to figure out why myself. Not sure if Nissan thought it would be cost effective or they didnt think that Amercians would want a 4 cylinder turbo. Stock the S15 puts out 250 hp. Not bad for a 4 cylinder and and has more horses than a stock RB25DE and dead even with a RB25DET.

PS. We shoe horned the engine back in yesterday and it was no picnic. I am not a big fan of Nissan wiring harnesses. And my knuckles can vouch for it.

Are you doing the car for yourself or someone else?

It is a sweet car, I was hoping it was yours, Pimp, so that we could start calling rides!

Yes we are. The engine is back in it and it is 98% ready to fire up. Hopefully I can get some video of it running and test drive.

It was most likely you I met then because not too many people have the black Nismos. Ever since then I've been wanting those wheels, they look so sick in person.
