Hi, Everyone.

I was driving to work this morning when I saw some guy driving a Nissan Silvia. It looked like a nice enough car being a cousin to the 240SX. He probably had it imported and speced out to California standards like some people do with the Skyline. Then I got to work and looked at the specifications to that bad boy. Mmmmm, yummy. Rear-wheel drive, 250HP inline-4, performance similar to the S2000, priced around $20,000 U.S.D..

Nice!

I think its a conversion; it costs less converting it than to buy and bring one from Japan or other part of Asia.

You guys would love going to Okinawa. (at least for the first few days.) I was stationed there for 13 months. There were tons of Silvias. As I recall, there was the "Q" and the "K" model. One was a turbo, one was not. I knew a Marine who drove a wide body Nissan Silvia. His was the only one of its kind on the island. He had around 300 hp at the wheels. That car was awesome.

Also, Skylines were a dime a dozen. I saw a few GT-Rs but mainly the NA versions. Very sweet cars.

Finally, I got to drive a car called the Toyota Levin. Think of a Corolla with a factory supercharger. Unreal...

Which side of the car was he driving from?
