YIKES!!! And it's a real sil-eighty to, I think.

sdtouge · 03-21-2005, 02:28 PM

the weak thing is that all the people on that site seem to like that car...

omega2oo5 · 03-21-2005, 02:31 PM

Thats one hot ride !

I don't like the airbrushed lady on the hood though, looks nice but it doesn't fit a nice japanese car ... such paintjobs are for big truck and old domestic cars. I like the color, looks sweet ! and it properly looks better IRL.

Tokyo_X-treme_R · 03-21-2005, 02:33 PM

I think they are from Australia or something, because I was browsing other galleries and they kept using the word "mate". I guess they like anything with chromies or wild graphics.

Spy001 · 03-21-2005, 03:04 PM

i just threw up a little in my mouth.

Tokyo_X-treme_R · 03-21-2005, 03:10 PM

Man, view the nissan galleries and you guys won't believe what these guys do to them, lol. I guess there more than just that sil-eighty pic that I found. The sad thing is that all the cars are JDM and given tasteless treatment to them.

RotaDrift · 03-21-2005, 03:47 PM

Let us bow our heads in a moment of silence for a fallen sil-eighty....

.......hot damn that thing is ugly haha

OMG!!!!

There are really no real sil-eighties. This topic has been discussed in many forums many many times. There are rumors that Nissan have a production run of 500 of them in 1996. I have yet to have confirmation on that though.

makai · 03-21-2005, 05:38 PM

I belive there was actually a limited production but I am not sure. It was acually Nissan's way of capitalizing on the tuner scene. At that point of time many tuners were making the hybrid by taking the front end of the s13 and the rear end of the 180 sx (or vice versa) to make somthing different. The nickname for the car was the SILEIGHTY. Nissan just took the idea and the name and sold it on order basis.

makai · 03-21-2005, 05:40 PM

But even if what I know is a rumor... That car is one ugly disgrace to anything on four wheels. The paint should be stripped and the interior gutted... Lets not even speak of the wheels.

NO NEVER PRODUCED. I really don't like that 180sx at all. I hate how riced out it is and then they got the Chrome rims. Bling! Bling! So lame

zerodrifter · 03-21-2005, 05:46 PM

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

makai · 03-21-2005, 05:46 PM

That makes sense... So it was only available through the dealer? So it had nothing to do with NISSAN itself?

driftersil80 · 03-21-2005, 07:43 PM

Ok. So then how did it end up on GT4? I mean because the cars need to be LICENSED BY THE MANUFACTURER to be on that game. Also, the Sil-Eighty appeared in GameBoy Advances GT Championship Racing. A japanese game with only licensed cars.

drift180sx · 03-21-2005, 08:45 PM

damn zero u beat me to the rice pic

hahaha that is one rolling POS. i mean sure it would b good if u lost the crappy paint, body kit, ugly *Censored**Censored**Censored* wheels (imo steelies look better) and that fugly wing we would hav a car that i would drive. if ppl drove that here in LA they would get beat...

Actually, the 180sx owners would crash their front, and Silvia front ends would be cheaper.

dae · 03-21-2005, 09:38 PM

i like the color

sidebyslide · 03-22-2005, 01:00 AM

mad disgusting

Spy001 · 03-22-2005, 01:33 AM

i dont believe they HAD to be licensed by the manufacturer in order to be in the game. someone mentioned that you could buy the conversion from east bear....but even then i suppose they didnt get the license. if you do the sort in gt4 by company, the sileighty is the only car that i have found that is simply listed as "other"

godzilla · 03-22-2005, 05:35 AM

ahhh the wonderful art of modifying...

doesn't appeal to my taste, but to each his own.

jaydm180sx · 03-22-2005, 06:37 AM

For some reason the front reminds me of an Acura Legend.
That is a disgusting car, chrome doesnt look good on any car in my opinion.

DriftingNewbie · 03-22-2005, 09:05 AM

Reminds me of a fishing boat.

kineticdb8r · 03-22-2005, 02:26 PM

AUSSIES

gotta love them

The SilEighty (pronounced shilla eytee) is a King of drift machines. It started with car accidents, illegal racing and Nissan actually seeing what people were doing. The Nissan Silvia was not realeased over here but is based on the 200sx chassis. The Nissan 180SX is Japans version of the S13 200sx with an SR20DET engine. In Japan, Silvias have three levels of trim (K[ing]'s, Q[ueen]'s, J[ack]'s) K's being the 2.0 Turbo charged SR20DET engines which could making well over 200bhp, Q's being the non-turbo 2.0 liter engines putting out just around 150-170bhp.

When Nissan had several FR turbo powered cars such as the Silvia and the 180SX, 180SX drivers bought them for drifting. However when learning to drift through the touge (Pronounced "Toe-*Censored**Censored**Censored*"), accidents do happen resulting in damaged front ends. The front end parts of Silvias were less expensive than the 180SX with pop up lights, and sharing the same platform the parts bolted on without many complicated steps. Nissan realised this trend, and built a 180sx with a Silvia front end. Literally a SILvia oneEIGHTY. Nissan kept production of the SilEighty low key owing to it's street racing roots and took the press by suprise when it was launched in mid 1994. It is said that just 400 SilEighty's were built.

To separate the SilEighty from the botch jobs made at home Nissan added 24bhp through hotter cams and ecu tweeks. The suspension was modified, resulting in a very hard rear setup to snap oversteer to enable drifting through series of tight turns. The rarity value of a Drift car from the factory, and the Initial D series hightening awareness, ensure the SilEighty carries a premium selling for around the same price as an R32 Skyline GTR.

Another variation on the Silvia platform was the Onevia, with the 180sx front end and Siliva rear

It was produced by nissan.
