NISSAN Silvia RPS13

When you think of drifting this car definitely comes to mind. This is probably best choice of Nissan drift cars to learn drifting. The Silvia RPS13 is called the 180SX in Japan, the 200SX in Europe and the 240SX in the USA.

Lots of drift modifications available and a lot of drift potential. Although this model is getting a little older, these days they are still available everywhere. And since they are getting older, you’ll find them for a good price too!

Earlier Japanese models and all European models were fitted with a CA18DET (175hp). The Japanese 180SX received a update in ’91 when it got a 2.0 liter SR20DET engine (205hp) and some more minor modification.

In 1993 the Silvia moved forward with the release of the S14 model. But while Europe and the US were happy to replace the current S13 model by the new S14 model, in Japan the 180SX continued its life as a sports coupé.

The 180SX received the last model update in 1996 and production stopped in 1998. US models are all fitted with the KA24DE engine (150hp) and were non-turbo. They have a displacement of 2.4 liter to make up for the power difference.
