Nissan Silvia K's (S13)

The Nissan Silvia K's (S13) is part of the fifth generation of the Nissan Silvia. It is often known by its chassis code "S13", or occasionally as the Silvia.

Information
The Nissan Silvia is a long running line of sports coupes. The Silvia S13 is built on the Nissan S Platform. Unlike previous generations, which had pop up headlights, the S13 had fixed headlights.
