Nissan Silvia?

[polarbert]

after just playing on gran turismo 3 for a bit, ive gotten a bit of a fancy for the nissan silvia (late model) not sure exactly which year, but ive seena 2002 model on auto trader and since there isnt a nissan forum here i thought i might ask if anybody knew if nissan had stopped making this silvia, or if a new model was being made, as i know that nissan UK dont have one in their model range at the moment.


sorry for the long sentance !!!

thanks for your help

Pretty sure the S15 is no longer in production, but I'm not sure as of when.

Lovely cars though, not exactly slow either!

Buy one - I'll be jealous!

[polarbert]

i do really like the look of them, i especially like the alloy wheels on the car in the game, will take a picture to show the ones i mean

[polarbert]

heres the pic of the car i have in gran turismo with those lovely wheels

yeah thats an S15 i believe, can only get those as an import unfortunately. i'm looking out for a nice S14A which ill be getting next year i think sound like just the sort of thing 200bhp FR pretty good looking and the prices seem to be going down at the moment

Yup that's an S15. I hate (and I mean hate) the standard wheels though! Totally spoil the looks of the car IMHO.

how come? i think they look lovely, i assume the ones in the pic i posted are the standard ones? what size are they?


what sorts do you reckon look better?

had a look on ebay for these sorts of silvia's but they are not common, might have to look long and hard if i want to buy one of these

This guy has quite an interesting 'shrine' page,plus links, dedicated to his silvia.

Hmm interesting the Silvia bandwagon seems to be about to roll.(judging by recent interest)watch the prices rise chaps

ALSO TRY THESE,bottom 2 are most interesting,imo.:

NOOOOOOOOO! don't make prices rise i cant get one insured this year but will be able to next year please listen to me they are an awful car and no one should buy one until i get mine

[polarbert]

how old are you charlie? whats insurance like on these things? im 19 and would be looking for the best deal on an s15 i think is what i want now


call me dumb but i assume you still get ncb if you have 3rd party fire and theft insurance???

[tuttle]

S13/14-200sx'x are group 16/17 insurance,iirc-I would imagine a f/i silvia would be same/similar.Many companies will not insure young drivers for an imported car without 2 yrs ncb.

damnit, thats my plans ruined, have to go back to getting a new focus now! maybe in a few years i will own one then

[ccharlie6]

yea 19 at the moment with 1 yr ncb planning on around the same time next year to look for a car when i will have 2yrs ncb, with this direct line have quoted me £912 (i know its shocking but if i want a quick car i guess i got to pay!!!)

edit to say: thats for a 1997 S14A in standard spec

[polarbert]

is that £912 for an s15 silvia? that wouldnt sound at all bad for me, ive been quoted £1900 for a 2.0 3 door focus @ group 10 insurance

Thats prolly a good quote,for your age take it!

[ccharlie6]

i defintely will in a years time no one will touch a 19 yr old with a group 17 car

[Batty FTO]

Cheer up you lot!
im 20 and am paying 1400 for the FTO....
not sure what group that in to be honest though...

didnt you see what i was quoted for a measly 2.0 focus

heopfully i will be able to find somewhere cheaper but that was from confused.com and they search 94 per cent of all insurers on the net so i doubt i would be able to find anywhere cheaper

That's a bloody amazing quote. I'd snap their hands off. You'll get stitched if you modify it though

[ccharlie6]

i think nigh on 200bhp gonna be alright for me for a while still got at least a year to wait! and maybe more if i don't blow all my student loan!!! lol
