US-spec Silvia?

I went up to Circuit City this morning, and One of the employees had a white 92 Silvia. He said the only thing he had done to it was a panel conversion and that is was a US-spec. Forgive me for sounding noobish, but I didnt know they had silvias here- Were there Silvias in the States at some point?

no, only 240sx's.. which were either the silvia body style, or the 180 body style... they all came with 2.4L 4cyl engines producing like 150 or so hp

If anyone tells you they have a US spec Silvia,Skyline or FTO, please punch them in the side of the head. It might fix they're brain.

I think the front JDM conversion has gotten to his head. But US Spec means KA24E, no SR20. Ppl may refer the 240SX as S13/S14, which is ok, but to say US spec Silvia is nonsense

LOL. Some time ago, I parked a few spaces from a white car that looked like a Silvia and had SILVIA on the trunk (otherwise I wouldn't have cared what it was, 80s/early90s looking cars don't interest me). It was left side drive, so I figured it was a fake.

Looked like this:

This was the same night I caught two shady guys trying to do something to my car, when I was walking out of the mall.

the silvia and 240sx are basicly the same car with different motors and body panels so doing a silvia conversion on a US spec 240sx is doable but there was never a true US spec silvia
