Car Collection (GT7)[]

The top grade of the S14 adds a rear spoiler and leather wrapped steering wheel.

The S14 Silvia debuted in October 1993 as the successor to the hugely successful S13 model, and with a new larger body Nissan hoped to continue their previous success.

The S14 is 1,730 mm wide compared to the S13's 1,690 and the track width has also been increased to match. The new model is also 30 mm longer at 4,500 mm, and 5 mm taller at 1,295 mm for an overall larger body. The softer lines of the body design though make width of the car stand out the most. The K's grade model also featured 16-inch wheels as standard.

The engine is a retuned version of the S13's SR20 series. The highest grade K's model features an intercooled turbocharger and produced 14.8 BHP more than the previous generation at 216 BHP/28.0 kgfm with the naturally aspirated Q's and J's models producing 157.8 BHP/19.2 kgfm. The basic suspension structure has also been carried over from the S13 utilising front struts with a multilink system on the rear. The car was also available with the 'Super HICAS' electronic rear wheel steering system.

In 1996, Nissan released a facelift model with an extensive redesign. The exterior's soft image was tightened up with scowling headlights and a large real spoiler for a more sharp and striking appearance.

The 'Aero' model featured here was added to the Q's and K's models in spring 1985 as the highest level trim grade. The exterior features unique bumpers along with front and rear spoilers. The interior features a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob as well as white gauge faces. These changes proved to be popular among drivers and the grade was continued on the facelift model.

As the number of affordable rear-wheel drive coupes dwindled through the 90s, the S14 Silvia can be considered a very important car for carrying that design DNA onto the next generation. It was also popular overseas where it was sold in North America as the 240SX and in Europe as the 200SX.

Used Cars (GT7)[]

The Silvia is an iconically elegant sports coupe, produced by Nissan. This model is from the 6th generation, which first appeared in the 1990s, and is known as the S14. This variant is actually the very last of the S14s, coming out in 1996. Its design is notably different from earlier models, with a distinctively sharp look. The power and torque were the same as those of the original model, but this K's grade car features a turbo. And what about the Silvia's drivetrain, you ask? Well, it's rear-wheel drive—FR, specifically. The turbo engine's max. output of 216 BHP and the FR layout makes it suitable for both track racing and drifting.
