Nissan Silvia s13 - Drive bys, Rides and Scraping on a Leaf

This is the second video of this Nissan Silvia s13 on my channel. In the previous video the car was static as we admired the detail and beauty of the wide body s13. In this video we advance from that and can see the car in action. Not only does this car have form, it also has some serious function with 300kw being pushed out at the rear wheels. We do some drive bys and in car rides to demonstrate the presence and power this car has. Apologies that this car is not being pushed to the limit as we need to keep it legal on public roads. One interesting feature that we showcase quickly in this video is how low the car can get when coming out of a drive way/going over little ditches. As I was filming I noticed that there was a leaf that the front bar was touching as the car was being driven out of the parking lot and you can see for yourself how low it got! --- Subscribe if you enjoyed the video!

At its introduction in 1988, it won the Car of the Year Japan Award. The Silvia name was no longer used on export models, however; European models were now known as 200SX. In North America, the S13 was known as the 240SX. The S13 Silvia coupe was made from 1988 to 1994, overlapping with the S14 Silvia introduced in 1993. The Nissan Silvia used fixed headlights; whereas, the 180SX, simply a hatchback version of the Silvia, introduced at the same time used pop-up headlights. S13 Silvias were initially powered by the CA18DE and CA18DET engines carried over from the end of S12 production, with an intercooler added to the CA18DET for a slight increase in stability and power. In mid-1990, (for the 1991 model year) the SR20DE and SR20DET engines debuted, offering improvements across the board in power and torque due to increased displacement and a more efficient turbocharger than was offered on the previous cars. In 1998, the S13 Silvia was resurrected, in part. A variant was produced by Kid's Heart for Nissan called the Sileighty, which featured the 180SX body with the front end from the Silvia. The Sileighty style was originally created by Japanese enthusiasts for their own 180SX's, and is still a common modification for the 180SX and 240SX fastback. The Sileighty also made an appearance in a Japanese anime and manga series known as Initial D. The series (based around the Japanese motor sports of Touge and drifting) featured the Sileighty in one of the last battles of the First Stage (or first season in the anime).
