Fairlady convertible styled with input from Count Albrecht Goertz The CSP311 was powered by the 1 6L Nissan R series engine Production ceased in 1968 after a mere 554 were made every one unique with hand formed body panels Most of the cars remained in Japan however 49 examples were exported to Australia and another 10 went to other countries The low production numbers and tedious method of construction assured each car was unique and valuable this is reflected by the car s purchase price of almost twice as much as the next model in the manufacturer s lineup at the time After production ceased in 1968 the name Silvia would not grace another Nissan until 1974 The engine was equipped with twin SU carburetors S10 Nissan Silvia S10 Production 19751979 Layout Front engine rear drive

was the first Silvia built on the S platform It featured more traditional lines than similar offerings from rivals Toyota and Mazda and was summarily less popular with consumers in most markets In Japan it was fitted with an L18 engine which it shared with the Datsun 610 Bluebird 180B In the North American market a version incorporating the larger displacement L20B was offered as the 200B of the same series Bluebird This model was affixed with the mandated 5 mph 8 0 km h bumpers and badged as the Datsun 200sx Its success in both markets was limited most buyers opting for the Celica over what was considered the more mundane S Chassis S110 Nissan Silvia S110 2 door coupe Nissan Gazelle 3 door hatchback Production 19791983 Layout Front engine rear drive Engine s 1 8 L Z18 I4 2 0 L Z20

105 kg 2 440 lb This iteration of the Silvia sold in North America as the Datsun 200SX and in Mexico as the Datsun Sakura available as a 2 door hardtop coupe and a 3 door hatchback was uniquely progressive in that it was originally intended to feature a rotary engine designed and built by Nissan The resulting unit was fairly unreliable and forestalled production Ironically it shared a chassis code with the also ill fated Mazda Cosmo first Japanese production car to feature a rotary engine The car was redesigned shortly after it was released and the Wankel power plant was replaced by a line of conventional piston engines based on the new Z series engine These included the Z20 and the turbocharged and fuel injected Z18ET In USA Canada the 200SX had the Z20E with H165 rear axle and from 19821983 It had a Z22E engine with H190 rear axle This generation saw the introduction of the Silvia 240RS a coupe fitted with the 2 4 liter DOHC FJ24 engine The 240RS was built between 1983 and 1985 its production extending the end of the S110 itself The resulting monster became Nissan s official rally car in the World Rally Championship from 1983 to 1985 and finished 2nd in the 1983 New

weight 1 170 kg 2 600 lb The S12 was produced from 1984 to 1988 with revisions to the exterior trim in 87 referred to as Mark II It was sold in three configurations coupe often called a notchback a hatchback and a widebody chassis called grandprix only 50 units made worldwide A number of different engines were equipped in the S12 chassis depending on production year and more specifically on the geographic market These engines borrowed from previous designs or in some cases inspired future engine platforms with the exception of the FJ series which was designed solely with Rally competition in mind For instance the CA series initially borrowed design cues from the NAP Z series The CA18DET s DOHC head design was also later utilized in the RB engine series the inline six engine that powered the famous Skyline GT Rs And of course the VG series was the predecessor to the VQ which powers the 350Z In 2001 a UK enthuisiast Jon Hurley set up an affiliate program for s12 owners around the world so that infomation regarding these cars could be shared Regional badgings North America The S12 chassis in North America was badged 200SX The Coupe was available with a 2 0L SOHC engine CA20E while the fastback received both the 2 0L SOHC engine and a 1 8L SOHC Turbo non intercooled engine CA18ET For 1987 in the United States Nissan discontinued putting the 1 8 Turbo into the fastback and created the SE model which had the potent 3 0L SOHC V6 engine VG30E generating 160 hp 120 kW and 174 tq This was the same engine offered in the non turbo 300ZX for that generation For 1988 the SE model received a 5 hp 3 7 kW gain from using the later W series VG30E with a total output of 165 hp 123 kW while torque remains the same at 174 Europe The S12 chassis in Europe was badged Silvia and was available in the hatchback and the grandprix configuration The difference between the hatchback and the grandprix were the widebody different wheels and minor interior differences The engine available was the same 1 8L SOHC Turbo CA18ET used in North America and in some areas the 2 0L DOHC FJ engine FJ20E The FJ engine series was originally designed for the 240RS rallycar as a 2 4L carbeurated system FJ24 and was underbored to 2 0L It also saw use in the DR30 Nissan Skyline chassis in both turbocharged and naturally aspirated versions Australia The S12 chassis in Australia was badged as a Gazelle The Gazelle was available in both the coupe and hatchback It was equipped with the same 2 0L SOHC engine CA20E found elsewhere in the world Japan The S12 chassis in Japan was badged as both a Silvia and a Gazelle The Gazelle was produced so that Nissan s different dealership networks in Japan could all carry the Silvia There are minor cosmetic differences Both the S110 and S12 Silvias have a Gazelle counterpart The S12 Silvia in Japan was available in a hatchback as a basic model only but the S12 Gazelle in Japan was strictly a hatchback available in regular RS and RS X variants as was the Silvia notchback The RS was equipped with the 2 0L DOHC FJ engine FJ20E while the RS X was equipped with the same engine in a turbocharged version FJ20ET In 1987 Nissan discontinued the FJ Series engine in the S12 and installed the updated version of the older CA with dual cams and a bigger turbochargerhe CA18DET Revisions The S12 chassis in 198486 is referred to as Mark I with Mark II as a revision in 87 Below lists the description of both Mark I The first trim of the S12 chassis Bumpers featured matte finish raised surfaces and sides featured half inch rubstripping Cars featured a honeycomb radiator grille and long cornerlights The 84 Turbo came with a TURBO monogrammed hood bulge accent The 8485 could be had with a foam rubber deck spoiler In 86 the foam rubber deck spoiler was changed for a fiberglass version with an integrated third brake light Some hatchbacks and all Turbo models came with ground effects combination of plastic mudflaps and accommodating foam rubber sideskirts as well as a foam rubber lower deflection lip Mark II In 1987 the bumpers were updated and the matte finished surfaces were eliminated for a more uniform surface Rubstripping was increased to 2 inch height w scribe detailing The honeycomb radiator grille was replaced with a slatted version that spanned the entire front end previous was shorter and cornerlights were shortened The SE model and the Turbo Canada Europe came with new ground fiberglass ground effects and mudflaps painted in the color of the car and a new and more pronounced lower deflection lip in the front SE model also received a new hood bulge design to accommodate clearance for the 3 0L V6 Optional rear mudflap accents were available Drivetrain Engine CA18ET CA18DET CA20E FJ20E FJ20ET

the 1989 model year was immensely popular in Japan The Silvia name was no longer used on export models however European models were now known as 200SX Following industry trends the S13 Silvia switched to relampable fixed headlights Projector optics were offered as an option The Silvia coupe was discontinued and replaced by a new model sharing the S platform the Nissan 180SX The 180SX continued using pop up headlights A convertible was briefly offered soon after the start of production but it was never popular perhaps due to high cost 3 25 million Yen in 1988 heavier curb weight and chassis flex The S13 was one of the first uses of Nissan s multi link rear suspension the technology of which was previewed in concept cars in previous years such as the Nissan MID4 It also offered a four wheel steering system for the first time known as HICAS II In 1990 HICAS II was updated and renamed SuperHICAS The S13 also saw the introduction of a viscous type limited slip differential for some models S13 Silvias were initially powered by the CA18DE and CA18DET engines carried over from the end of S12 production with an intercooler added to the CA18DET for a slight increase in stability and power In mid 1990 for the 1991 model year the SR20DE and SR20DET engines debuted offering improvements across the board in power and torque due to increased displacement and a more efficient turbocharger than was offered on the previous cars One of the other simple changes that was made between the CA generation and the SR generation was switch to a single colour paint job instead of the two tone colour sets that were previously offered On top of this the SR motor later debuted another variant of the platform known simply as the Black Top Identifiable by its black and silver rocker cover as opposed to the traditional red silver cover it featured a number of minor changes resulting in little performance gain It is vastly different to the more powerful black top used in the S14 and S15 variants Amazingly a revised and revamped version of the Nissan SR20 engine that first appeared in the S13 is still in use today as can be seen in the following sections of this page In the U S the S13 was replaced after the 1994 model year by the new S14 design but lived on till 1999 in japan with a major face lift the 180sx Aero Type X this was the kouki generation while the previous was chouki gen the kouki featured newly design tail lights a redesigned aero body kit and out fitted with an airbag In 1998 the S13 Silvia was resurrected in part A variant was produced by Kid s Heart for Nissan called the Sileighty which featured the 180SX body with the front end from the Silvia The Sileighty style was originally created by Japanese enthusiasts for their own 180SX s and is still a common modification for the 180SX and 240SX fastback The Sileighty also made an appearance
