Question 1

Can I legally import a Nissan Silvia into the US or UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The US uses a 25-year import rule, so all S13 and most S14s are legal; S15 becomes eligible starting in 2024–2027. The UK allows imports with IVA/SVA compliance now, including S15s.

Question 2

Which Nissan Silvia model is best for drifting?

Accepted Answer

All Silvia models are drift-capable, but the S13 and S14 are preferred by grassroots drivers for affordability and mod support. The S15 Spec-R is the most potent chassis from the factory.

Question 3

What are common issues to look out for when buying a Silvia?

Accepted Answer

Watch for SR20DET head gasket failures, worn gearbox synchros in S14/S15, and rear subframe rust. Interior trim (especially dashes) often show age as well.

Question 4
