What are the odds of me finding a wrecked S15 Silvia in the U.S. that i could use for a front end conversion?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>? Did they ever import the Silvia into america??

Question #1 0.000000012985% chance that you'll find a S15 in a junk yard
Question #2 Nope

Your odds: 0-0. There are maybe 5 imported S15s in the US. And these were after-market importers. They're not street-legal. I'm sure that people who wrek them (if they wreck them) repair them as well. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. S15 on a junkyard... that'd be an interesting picture... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Nearly forgot, there is a nissan "test" facility in Arizona (i think arizona) anyway due to US laws the JDM cars that they test there either need to be deported or junked, it's cheaper for them to junk them so they get destroyed, but i doubt there is public access to that junk yard <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

There shouldn't be. If the cars aren't street legal, the junkyard shouldn't be as well. That was a good question for a forum lol <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

There is a body kit you can get if you really want to make your s13 look like an s15 (dunno why though, s13 is dead sexy). . . Look for something called "Strawberry face" or something like that. . .

Ya i figured it would be impossible to find a silvia in the US but just thought i might ask Thanks Neway, I have a 1996 s14 and would like to convert to an S15 but probably go with the flatnose s14a look b/c of price. Don't get me wrong, I like the look of mine the way it is now but the others just look so much more BAD ASS!! :-) Where could i find a conversion kit to the s14a or would i be better off with the junkyard approach? TIA

in my city, i have a shop that imports front clips from wrecked cars.
look around in ur town and see if there are any shops like that.
there are LOTS of front clips available.. not sure aboot the S15 clips tho.
my friend did the S14a front clip on his 95 S14

an S15 conversion will probably run you anywhere from $1500 to $2000 (Lights, Hood, Front Bumper) w/out paint.

I want a 300Z front end and a skyline rear end. Or maybe both Skyline front and end conversions... ahhhhh
Maybe that would all look better on an S14. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I came from Hong Kong, there is no S15 there either, for some weird reason, but people do S15 convertion. It would probably be a little expensive because of shipping. I can get it for you from Hong Kong with my friends' help, but if you know someone from Japan, it would be cheaper, since the parts are shipped to Hong Kong for sell in stores, and buying it from there and ship it here would cost a lot more.

is hong kong real strict on street racing and obeying the speed limit and all that type of stuff?
