Just thought I would pop in and say hello.

Im based in close to Worcester in England. I currently drive a Nissan Silvia S15 Varietta, I have also just done an engine conversion to the SR20DET engine from the S14a 200sx and its producing about 200bhp but I do need a Apexi Power FC to sort out some of the running issues and that should take it to around 230bhp.

Here are some pictures.

She will be going up for sale soon and I was just wondering what kind of money they would fetch over there.

I would definetly say upwards of $30K USD. Equivalent of an MK4 Supra possibly.

Really, they are not that sort after over here, may be hard to more on once its finished, will see when the time comes.

Sorry did not realise there was a picture thread. Can one of the mods move it?

Some really nice cars I have seen on this forum very impressed.

Is there any American importers who would do the most the leg work for me if I found a buyer?

What would need doing to the car to make it road legal in the US, will do some research tonight and see what’s involved.

Sweet! Variettas own.

Don't waste your time trying to sell it someone stateside... seriously.. car won't get past customs unless the engine and the chassis are separate, not to mention all the other legalization issues.

PS - get rid of the chicken wire in your bumper. Doesn't look good.

i always thought that the varietta trunk is silly looking


Silvia or i guess in your case, 200sx motor swap would be mighty fine (SR20DET) along w/ some upgrades...


doooo itttttt!!!!

i love how it looks w/ the top down though...

Didn't the Autech S15 have a very nice upgraded NA SR20DE? I'm just asking because I have heard about it, and noticed your Autech badge.

Yes Autech did do a upgraded SR20DE engine but they did not put it in the Varietta, something like 190bhp from the N/A and it had a six speed box. Mine has the Autech badge because they made the convertible.
