No the "Silvia" was not in the US, but the only difference between the 240SX and the Silvia was the engine. So "Riced up 240" isn't the proper term I'd use. Mine was a coupe with the Silvia front end, so bringing it to its true form however, would be correct. Mine was done long before it was considered the "cool" thing to do with a 240. The car was de-tuned so the 300ZX would sell more, by putting a truck engine under the hood. But anyway, I wasn't expecting to find many Jap car enthusiasts here, not to say anything bad about anybody here, its just a different taste.
if you are 23, i doubt you did a slivia swap "before it was cool" because it started being cool when i was around 11 or 12, and I am 23 too. Unless you started turning wrenches and driving really, really young. asmof, silvia swaps got played out around 2001, then every started doing rb swaps into 240's, way more power potential...
