S15 (Nissan Silvia)

The S15, also known as the Nissan Silvia, was the last generation of all the S-series and was ended in 2002. The Nissan Silvia is by far one of the most popular vehicles in the import tuning industry. It is were the famous Nissan turbo motor, the SR20DET, came from. Today now a days, many teenagers who own these the older generation S-series, take the SR20DET motor and place them in the S13 and S14 models because they bolt on directly to the chassis of the vehicle, but we will get more onto the SR20DET swap on the next post. The Nissan Silvia or the S15 as refered came with many other upgrades such as a better limited slip differential (LSD), stronger chassis, better suspension. It also came with two options, the Spec-S and the Spec-R. The Spec-S was the basic model with the basic suspension and LSD and the 5 speed transmission. The Spec-R came with all those upgrades I named earlier but with a 6 speed transmission instead of the 5 speed. The Silvia came with a completely new body design with a standard spoiler, projector headlight, and it only came in the right-hand drive, meaning the steering wheel was on the right side of the vehicle instead of the left side we all have.
