March 18, 2011
In today’s video find, we present a pair of daredevil Russian drifters swooping and sliding their way through the streets of Moscow, Russia in a Nissan 200SX ute [S13] and what appears to be a Nissan Silvia [S15]. The drivers are Evgeniy Satyukov and Geprgiy Stepanyan who took first and second place respectively in the ‘Russian Drift Series 2010’.
The creators of the film are quick to point out that “all the stunts in the film are performed by professionals on the blocked streets” and that viewers should “not try to do this on public roads”. Drift past the break to enjoy the video.

In October of 2010 we brought you a Toyota Soarer / Lexus SC that had been transformed into an abomination with a Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM front end and a Nissan 200SX rump. It was bad, but I still liked it better than the snooze-mobile that was the ‘91 Soarer / CS.
Well, from the same website that brought us that automotive mullet comes yet another creation that’s been refashioned into something else. This time its a Nissan Silva. This particular freak of coach building features a Mercedes-Benz rear end (or at very least the taillights) and Nissan 350Z front end. The result is less than impressive.

If you happen to have a mullet and a lifeless Nissan 200SX -or any car for that matter- laying around somewhere and you don't know if you should get rid of it or make something useful out of it, here's a 'nifty' idea; how about chopping it in half and transforming it into a mobile BBQ-trailer with an integrated tailgate grill?

Awesome Hand-Built Nissan 200SX Track Car
October 24, 2008
Thanks to the internet, we're constantly learning about the accomplishments of truly gifted individuals that build awe-inspiring projects in the garage of their own home. This stunning Nissan 200SX track car is the result of three years of blistering hand work by a member of the UK-based enthusiast forum, 'SXOC' who goes by the nickname "CravingImpact". Everything you see in these pictures was hand built or modified by the vehicle's owner including the front splitter, the rear diffuser and various body panels! -Continued
Although the aerodynamic add-ons haven't been tested in a windtunnel (apparently) for their effectiveness, the owner claims that he tried to "use basic principles in the design which are tried and tested and hopefully cant fail". "Like my diffuser for example, its only angled up at 7 degrees which is said to be a good starting point," he said in his post.
Even so, seeing how he managed to transform a road going Nissan 200SX into a beastly looking track car that makes us drool like a teen, we have nothing else but utter respect for him and can't wait to see what he has in store for the vehicle's mechanics in the near future.

2011 Nissan 240SX – Silvia and 2010 Micra Turbo Renderings
August 25, 2008
We’ve lost track of the number of times we’ve seen renderings from Japanese publications showing what the Nissan 240SX / Silvia might look like when it debuts sometime in 2010/2011. In its forthcoming October issue, Japanese car magazine ‘Best Car’ takes another shot at the forthcoming 240SX / Silvia replacement that is said to be based on a modified version of the 350Z's FM rear-wheel-drive platform. Additionally, along with the new 240SX / Silvia photoshop, Best Car also shows a rendering of the next-generation Micra (March in

Next Generation 240SX / Silvia Previewed in Nissan’s GT 2012 Meeting?
June 7, 2008
This rendering, featuring the next generation 240SX / Silvia, allegedly made its appearance on a video screen along with the first official picture of the 2010 370Z during the Nissan GT 2012 meeting a few weeks ago. We don't want to seem negative, but the profile of this vehicle with the small quarter window at the back looks like it belongs to a four-door sedan and not to a coupe. What do you think?
On the other hand, the scanned images from the Japanese magazine 'Best Car' clearly depict an artist's impression on the next gen 240SX/Silvia that will supposedly be powered a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-pot developing 225 PS. Best Car also speculates that Nissan's affordable rear-wheel-drive coupe will be based on the Japanese carmaker's FM platform measuring approximately 4,350 mm in length and 1,750 mm in width. -More pics after the jump

May 4, 2008
While not underpowered, the 1990's Nissan 200SX S13 with its 205Hp turbocharged 2.0-liter engine could have done with a few more extra horses under its hood. But these Swedish guys took the phrase 'a few more ponies' to the extreme by swapping the 200SX's 4-cylinder unit with a 315Hp 3.6-liter straight-six from a 1990's BMW M5 E34.And if that wasn't enough, they also added a Garret GT45 turbocharger on the bimmer engine. We don't have any output figures but that Bavarian-powered 200SX S13 sure sounds sweet! Images and video right after the jump. -Continued
