ver the years, I have had four S13s. The first was a black non-turbo Silvia. The second was a rough as guts bright green and then matte black 180sx. The third was a very clean gun metal grey 180sx, which had all of the green car’s parts transferred. After a ten year gap, the fourth is a white and black Sileighty. The following table refers to and compares these cars.
