Nissan 180SX/200SX/Silvia 1988-2002

Demand for rear-wheel drive ‘drift’ cars has pushed Nissan SX and Silvia values to another level. Those that have been converted for track use have also made cars without a raft of competition mods quite difficult to source and more expensive.

| Buyer's Guide: Nissan 180SX/200SX/Silvia coupe

Find a factory-stock 200SX or S15 Silvia and you could be paying $40,000, while even an early 180SX will cost $25,000 or twice what they were making just three years ago.

| Future classic: Nissan Silvia/180SX S13

 

Silvias were pioneers of the 1990s ‘grey import’ movement and literally hundreds arrived from Japan or via New Zealand. One to consider if you collect scarce Nissans is the Varietta, with a hardtop roof that disappears into the boot.
