The Silvia S13 and 180SX were popular drifting cars and a lot of them crashed in drifting accidents. Since the S13 fronts were cheaper than the 180SX front with pop-up lights a lot of drivers often favored the S13 front over the original one. These front and rear-ends were combined and the result of this was called the Sileighty.
Of course the conversion was also done the other way around, thus with a S13 rear and a 180SX front. These are called Onevia's and are even harder to find.
Eventually the Sileighty became so popular that Nissan caught on, and even surprised the press when for a short period of time they started to produce their own set of (official) Sileighties. Only about 400 Sileighties have officially been build by Nissan.
