The S15 Nissan Silvia was introduced in 1999 and did not waste any time becoming yet another icon in the JDM car scene. Notably different from previous generations the S15 was a return to form for Nissan's S-chassis, however unavailable in the USA. Today Alex sits down to break apart this legend and talk about you wanting to own an S15 Nissan Silvia.

Yessssss for dear God yes
Imagine if this channel went crazy and made one of these videos for the S12
Oh hell yeah
Yes
I would rather a s13
By Far, one of the best looking cars stock and aftermarket
Agreed
Yeah same goes for the 180sx, s13, s14, 300zx lol, Nissan...
To be honest I have never seen one stock
Yes it is one the best looking cars ever made and it’s not even one of my favorites but nobody can deny how good this car looks
@@GooseBumppps it's definitely in my top 8. If someone says this car isn't great to look at, they're nuts.
The days of buying affordable JDM cars are almost gone.
which sucks when you are just getting to the age where you have the ability and desire to spend money on these cars
I never thought these days would come so quickly smh
@@tobiassigsonne3871 yea fr, I thought this was going to happen in my 40s not my 20s
Agreed!!!!
Sad you have to be rich to afford these with how prices are going.. let's not even talk about R-34s they're gonna be unobtainable for your average 1990s car enthusiasts..
“Now you’re just 24 years old and trying to figure out your life”
I’M DOING MY BEST, ALEX
me, 24, just finding out i can afford these still
Frfr
I mean I'm 27, and I'm still trying to figure it out.
I’m almost 23 years old, sadly I don’t have a drivers license lmao. BUT, HOWEVER… ALTHOUGH… that doesn’t mean I can’t hire a chauffeur😂😂😂😂😂😂😍
I clearly have more dreams than my parents haha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
literally the s15 is one of my dream cars i promise one day i’ll own it🙏🏼
did u know i own one? that means i own your dream. Your dream is now mine bish herrherrr
@@sobesao6477 congrats you want a cookie
@@hvx7490 uhm, sure? can send to my addy 16 winner st sunshine vic australia
@@sobesao6477 fuuuaaark bro, we got our selves a badass on our hands.
@Nutbox Deliverer you can have my if if you give me your sis
honestly the s15 is one of those topdog JDMS that never gets really talked about compared to the gtr supra rx7
Agreed one of my favorites
The rx7 is great but the s15 is an insane drift machine made by the gods.
The S15's design is timeless in my opinion.
It’s not your opinion, it’s a fact lol
Facts. Great taste mate:)
i knew a guy that had one of these back in the day, he said that selling it was one of the worst decisions of his life
Why did he have to sell it?
@@therealsmoother Had to pay off the government for something. i think it was tax related.
Me who’s been asking for this for a year:
Happiness noises
Congrats bro ! I know someone else who has the same feeling 😉
-Me.
I feel you
„...you‘re 24 y/o and tryna figure out life“ so when is the „so you want to get rid of depression“ coming?
Find purpose, take on responsibilities, cut out negativity, addictions & debt. By the time that’s done there’s no time for depression🤣
I've been pushing mine aside because I have to provide ima need a personal therapist once older and retired to be able to die in peace ✌
Never, just live with it and accept it's there
Used to see these everywhere back in the days. But cause every 18 year old wrote them off into trees and light poles you barely see any anymore.
You’re blaming Paul?
@@jimmyluu89paul never had one
This is probably a dream car that i would be able to obtain in my life
you got 30K to blow?
@@fyzikal5 the fuck are u talking about lmao. you're def not in the game as hard as you think bro
@@paul7838 my bad. 50K+
@@fyzikal5 they're around 25k USD atm for a grade 4-5 with around 90-120k kilometers on the chassis. And the Spec S is only 10k USD Stop spreading bullshit yikes
@@paul7838 The spec S is nowhere near 10K USD i’ve been researching this and have sources to back me up. 20K for non-turbo and 30K plus for Turbo. these cars are getting taxed out the ass rn especially with it’s legal import coming up
im speaking this into existence🔮. I will own all of the s-chassis in 10 years. I’ve already acquired a s14 zenki
Who?
@@nemov27 zenki was the name of the first s14 front fascia. From 1995-1996. The kouki was the face lifted model from 1997-1998.
I want a sileighty soooo bad! But i wish you luck man🙏🏼
Kouki is better
🔥🔥🔥 I’ll message this comment in 10 years
I remember when I was a kid and my Dad gave me a few car mags and i saw this car. I fell in love right then and there. It's still one of my favorite cars ever.
Ive had 4 of them, 3 spec S and 1 spec R.
I paid between 6k and 14k NZD for these. I sold my Spec R for 17.5k NZD 2 years ago. They now sell for $30-50k. Huge regrets 😅, only sold it because I crashed my daily (350GT skyline) with no insurance. I am gonna get another S15 by the end of the year
What u do for a living 😭
For real bro
S15 and r34 are some of my favourite jdm cars
Damn if I can get them
But why an R34 ? Literally everyone wants that and a MK4 Supra and it’s just so overrated and played out dude
Me too; you can get them bro don’t give up ever on it
@@BaphoMedia I like the car idc whatsoever is its "overrated" or anything
@@BaphoMedia Who gives a shit if they are overrated? If he likes it, he likes it. I’m not gonna stop liking something just cause they are overrated.
@@Domfrey. same bro. I love Genesises :)
Edit: when I’m not interested in Jeep Wranglers, Defenders, GLEs, or Hummers lol
The S15 is the best looking Silvia imo
S13 has the notorious image of what you think of when you hear Silvia but the s15 is perfect aesthetically
I love the design of the S15 silvia. .... but most of them were converted to drift cars so no daily zoom zoom
what stupid shht are you talking about
Makes sense to me, if you want enjoyable daily tastefully modded hard to find, better to find stock as possible.
@@jamesfoureight9879 yeh i got a pretty much bone stock one with full service records and verified 100k miles for 22k USD 2 weeks ago. not cheapest but im aight with it
@@vteckickedin2365 are u in the u.s.? i thought it was banned for road use
@@puppyDawgw00f Australia
The Australian delivered spec-S and spec-R are both turbocharged however JDM S15’s in
Spec-S are non-turbo and R is turbo.
Autech version is NA.
The S15 did dominated the D1GP series. Mainly the HKS S15 driven by Nobuteru Taniguchi, Kei Office S15 by Yasuyuki Kazama. The S15 has won 13 D1GP since the beginning and NOB was the first to ever win the series in 2001. That's why Bow Wow call it the "Mona Lisa" of drifting.
Lol bow wow i remember when he got an s2000 when he first heard about drifting lol
Hey, Spec S and Spec R in Australia were both turbo. The Spec R had the sunroof and spoiler. That was it. Extra $2,000.
They didn’t sell a non turbo here, but some NA autech models were imported by dealers, mainly convertibles.
not all aus spec r had spoiler and sunroof, but many did. aus ones also had different turbo and detuned motor
Im from Australia and I vividly remember when S15s came out, i was in love with that car when I was a kid. I remember a store in my local area (can’t remember the name) sold an s15 model and my parents bought it for me. Wish I still had it.
Sucks that for some reason everyone just wants this car all of a sudden and as a result the prices are going way up and soon they’ll be getting exported to America and the prices will go up even more
I was literally studying for a final that I have to take in an hour and clicked on this video instantly. Been waiting for this for so long
love my s15 never skipped a beat
5:45 This is incorrect, ALL versions of the S15 sold in Australia came with a turbo
What about the Au-tech?
@HeroShang The Autech version was never locally delivered to Australia. There were some around as we could also
import the s15 from Japan once it was no longer available new after 2002.
Ever since I’ve seen this last year I’ve been IN LOVE with this car and It’s one of my dream cars and I hope one day I actually have thisss.
Amazing that i came to this video right now, a day after that you uploaded it.. Just got a company to import a S15 for me and it'll be sitting happy in my hands in about +- 4 months.
0:15 idk why but I laughed harder than I should at this part 😂
Ordered an S15 spec R from japan, can't wait honestly, got like a week left
yeah please how much did u pay??
I’ve never clicked faster😭
I thought i was the only one😭
I felt him laughing at me through the thumbnail , like “ lmao you wish you could get one of those”
The S15 nissan Silvia are good looking cars especially in a Rocket Bunny Widebody Kit.
Look better without imo
That RB kit has looks that can kill
Lowered S15 with Rocket Bunny looks effin' dope tho
Shut up
@@cozyboy5025 nah
New years 2023.. this video was the last one in a loooong youtubes history list of S15 vids that tipped me over the edge lol ..cheers! (accidentally purely by mistake now have a 500hp one in the shed😂)
Wasn't really a fan, since we don't get them in South Africa, but after I saw Freshhkiicks S15... I died a little death.
We have a couple in Zambia. They are sweet cars!
Fuck fresh kicks lame ass
I owned a S15 for 10 years. I built it from mild to wild. It's a fantastic car, loads of fun to drive and a fantastic platform. But the gear box is weak, the SR20 is descent but not a great engine. It looks awesome and there are millions of parts for it.
There is a fix now to make the 6-speed stronger in the S15. Plus also heaps of options for fitting Skyline and other Nissan transmissions to it if going for huge power.
sr20 is limited...until u slap a vvl head on it...then probs best 4cyl u can have lol (yes ik my name is vtec kicked in but sr20vet > k20)
In Australia and new Zealand the 200sx
spec s are turbo also
I don't think NZ got the 200sx Spec S
4:13 too real.
Im on my last 3 weeks of high school....
Currently freaking out on what I'm gonna do after school
Drugs
The world is going to sht. A g e n d a 21 and 30 what is everyone going to do?
go to the marines and get married 4 times within your first contract.
It's just an amazing looking car with a timeless design.
🔥 I have to correct you. In Australia the Spec S and Spec R are basically the same identical car (both are Spec R's). The Spec R had a sunroof and bodykit and steering wheel that distinguished it from the Spec S. People who didn't want a sunroof, bought the Spec S. So let me rephrase.
Australia: Known as the 200SX. All S15's brought into Australia from Japan are turbo SR20DET Spec R's. The S badge went on the cars that didn't have a sunroof.
Japan and NZ: Spec R and Spec S are different cars. Spec R are turbo. Spec S are non turbo. The JDM Spec S was the budget no thrills version. JDM Spec R had all the options.
this car is my will to live
By far this monster is my favorite Nissan. I honestly think it looks better than the skylines
Finally, goshh.. been waiting like a whole life...S15/14 dream car...
I used to want an S15 so had to 1J swap but they were just a little too common for me at the time so I went with a non GT-R variant R34 completely not knowing the market 3 years later would blow up the way it did. I kinda wish I went with the S15 because it’s less expensive if I break something.
The s15 is my dream car so yea I would DEFINITELY buy one
Well yes I would love to own one. But due to UA-cam and Tik Tok, the days of affordable JDM cars are gone.
Heck, even Miata’s with 150k mikes are going for like $9k. This car will be no different.
the miata bro tax is the most absurd thing ever.
Me, that played nfs heat and bought the s15, and now has a burning desire to buy one in real life once I save up the money, that or a 350-70z, or both 😈😈😈
Definitely get an s15!👌
I have two and love them both ☺
please, just please, don't make em' end up around a tree, take care of them
Still one of the best looking cars in existence very rare worth every penny you will a thousand of every car on the road before you see one of these
As an owner of a S15 Spec R GT all our cars in Australia have jump Average price for a Good one $35 to $45 K AUD. But they are worth it awesome cars They are not just a Drift Car They are a great at doing Track Day drive there and drive home. plus hitting your favorite twisty roads
Wtf I was looking a couple like 2 years ago for 15-20k in good condition
It’s crazy how time flies and my car is still on jack stands xD
that slow burn for waiting for a Honda CR-Z . but silvia is pretty nice tbh. my friend has one and a nice drift car fr fr
The last line about a 14-year-old hurt me (am a 14-year-old Indian who can't even own Prius until they are 18, and at 18 years old, your midlife crisis starts there. I just wanna end ma life 😢😢😭😭) .....
Thanks @Fitment Industries for using my video at minute 3:00 ❤️🙏
S15 my dream car💯 luv everything about it
thank you, i've now learned that i need to go to japan myself and figure this shit out
I WAS GOING THRU THE PLAYLIST YESTERDAY SEARCHING FOR THIS LMAO
I'm really starting to think it isn't so much "Bro Tax" at this point but just the state of everything. The used market is high as a whole right now and also the dollar is shitting its pants.
Definitely buying one 🤤 I’m 19 now I have a few years to get my bread up and get one when they are finally available 💯
When are they going to be available?
Can't wait for my boy Sonny to get his🙏🏽
Ayoooo same man, wanna see what him and illiminate got in store
Even If it’s the Spec-S, I’m getting one of these
Spec S in Aus come turbo 😮
even a non turbo spec s is fine and to be honest, it has the better internals and so on.
The days of these be affordable is gone they are still pretty cheap in Canada if you buy it from the first Canadian owner or if you get a Silvia Q’s but the spec R is where the money is at.
I love the look of the S15 so much! Back in gran turismo 2 days I built mine with the ethos of a JDM camaro. That’s what it is to me, a JDM camaro for sure! The US would for sure build a heavier version with bigger engine (unnecessary Chevy….) it would be cool if the turbo 4 cylinder Camaro 1LE of today was 1,000lbs lighter, I would want that if they would build it. I want an S15 with an RB25DET, so should I just get a GT-T skyline?
Fitment industries : so you want a Silva
Me: hell yeah!!!
My Wallet: Say Sike right now
ur calling for my car? my s15 plate is SIKE
I’m a Jamaican I drove in one of these it’s scary fun . It’s worth every Penny and more to beef up that SR20
This is a serious channel.
5:45 Incorrect. All Australian delivered S15's were turbocharged. Slightly detuned but still turbo.
revisiting this video 3 years later after i bought my spec r :)))
...2024 would make the Silvia unattainable.
ABOUT TIME! As someone who lives in Australia, and looking to buy one, you have given me some good info. I wanna get one and rb30 swap it. Maybe even swap an rb26 block with an rb30 head. Chuck that bad boi in. Good days. 😊
RB30 heads are sohc😊
“So you want a z31 300zx?”♯１９０
NO, keep em cheap

My pfp is my project I worked on for 2 years, what a car, drives like a dream, I've driven fast STI's, Golf's, Audi's and mercs, and this car beats them all in fun
s15 is a dream car of mine
3 years ago I went to my first car meet. Saw a white S15 for the first time and ever since I've wanted to get into cars and buy one. Saw them going around for $12k at some dealerships over here. After working 2 jobs and saving up for 2 years I've only ever seen them go for no less than $25k. Each day I'm waking up questioning why I'm even saving money to buy one when it just looks more and more impractical because this market. Even any other S-chassis I still have a desire for, sadly the only ones I can find are beat up, drifted/unfinished projects and it just hurts the soul.
You’re much better off investing 25K as a downpayment on a house.
Look in Europe now, usd is more than euro now so I can get amazing deals. I just got an s14 for 15 grand with 60k miles
I'm back! I miss you guys! ❤ Alex is awesome
My dream car
Unluckily the price isn't the part of this dream
Woah bro it got a lil to real when you mentioned mother calling me special and not so special at 24yo
Thanks guys
I live in Germany and just bought a SPEC R with zero areo parts 😢 but I have a sunroof 😁 only 24.000 miles for 31k $
I had my first s15 spec R a couple years back I got so upset I got depressed so I decided to buy a new one which I’ve now got the last ever s15 ever produced the
2002 Nissan s15 Spec R - GT
They are worth 50k+ here in australia I got mine for a beautiful price tag
this 25 yo jdm turbocharged 4 cyl actually i can see why is worth the same amount as a midengine turbochardged awd porsche
It's like food... you can like pizza or you can like soup. Completely different in every aspect but you still value them highly individually
Bro you trippin, that’s the best fast and furious, by far lmao. Cool vid any way.
It is worth that much because its one of the best cars with a stock turbo. Some countries forbid the modification of a car. All u can do is replace some specific parts. Its around 10k$ at my place and its not rising. An S2k honda is like 20k$ minimum.
In australia 200sx spec r and s are basically the same. Side skirts, wing, sunroof, stereo seperate them
Yep in Australia both the Spec R and Spec S are turbo and have chassis bracing
My over all favorite car of all time!
s14 and s15 is one of the most beautiful car in this planet ...
I love the s15, but damn the bro tax is gonna skyrocket the prices on it when it becomes legal to import
You got it wrong !!! The Spec S version came with the Turbo!! All of them sold in Australia came with a turbo !!!
They are gonna go up in price btw.
In new zealand we have every jdm you can imagine
Australian delivered spec s and spec r only came as turbos. Only the jdm spec s was non turbo. Both ADM spec s and r also shared similar drivetrains with LSD’s etc. Despite the journal bearing turbo and detuned ecu, the adm models are more worthwhile as they have almost zero rust and people are just going to upgrade the engine anyway 👌🏽 they also have GT models here which came with nicer interior trims, sunroofs etc etc
When they become legal in the states I think prices will peak for the next couple of years and then dip a little
Another day, another request to see the 300c, but this was a great video anyway.
I think the $50K is gonna be a closer guess than the $20K for a spec R, sadly.
ofcourse dude i want one
I picked up a 1 owner 1997 Infiniti J30 with 130k miles for $1800. It's a great platform if you don't mind having 2 extra doors.
Yes, I do want an s15. No matter what.
As an importer myself the reason they raise the value on Supra’s, Skyline’s, Silvia’s, (etc) is because if they don’t there will be no market for the cars anymore if they are selling at a low price. That’s why the price jumps up by 10-15% every year.
5 seconds in and already this guy is the Linus of cars
All nissan needs is a legacy batch or a vintage production line, straight from factory to order. You wouldn't believe how fast this hype bubble would pop
This is plausible 👍🏼
That would be interesting! Dodge went “vintage style” with the challenger and it has be successful. I’d like to see a S chassis style comeback, like a brz size with turbo and stock with turbo. The new Yaris hot hatch is rad too, to bad USA isn’t getting them.
Not happening lmfao, I dont think you understand the cost of something like that...
Yall really taunting me here, first you hit me with the wagons - a punch to the face with a brick with 850 on the side - then a knee to the stomach with the "mom's gonna hate me now" mobile. Ouch guys, ouch.
Love yall ;)
