All cars tested mostly fully tuned with all available parts installed. PP requirements met by adjusting weight, power restrictor, etc². All cars go through a clean 1 lap run on fuel map 6 repeated 3x & the fastest time is selected. Conclusion: As enthusiast's might know the Sileighty was never officially sold by Nissan. It started when 180SX owners mostly street racers that damaged their front ends from racing, drifting, etc used the S13 Silvia front end as replacements as they were lighter & cheaper to replace with since both share the same chassis. Also a Japanese tuning company called Kid's Heart did build & sold 400-500 units of the "official" Sileighty. It is very common nowadays to see owners swap body parts between chassis like the Onevia (S13 Silvia with 180SX front end) or Ichigo (S13 Silvia or 180SX with S15 Silvia front end) to name a few. The Sileighty's stock SR20 is surprisingly quick despite it not being the strongest iteration of the engine which is in the S15 getting B on my ranking. With the K24A swap it catapults this car getting A+ with almost a 12 secs gap. Handling is really good with the occasional slip in the rear but not very manageable. Brakes are a bit on the weak side but still not bad. Overall, enjoyed trying this swap. Initially I was surprised why the Sileighty got a K24 swap instead of a RB or 2J but upon further research it really has been done irl. K swaps are becoming really popular these days for making crazy amounts of power while still being fairly reliable.
