silvia aero?

You should have used the small questions thread, but I am actually surprised at how not terrible your question actually is!

For those telling him to search, whether it be here or google, I HIGHLY doubt that you would be able to find your answer easily. You should back off...

Now, for your question. From my understanding the headlights were not really year or model specific. You could get any of the three light options on any silvia as far as I know.

All S13 Silvia headlights will work with all the S13 Silvia Bumpers.

Its been along time so i could be wrong on the Engine combo's

Headlights were Engine/Model Speciffic
J's = Bricks CA18DE Base Model
Q's = Dual Projector CA18DE SR20DE
K's = Tripple Projectors Only on the SR20DET Model

K's Bumpers are identified by having a Intercooler scoop on the bottom left side of the bumper

I dunno man, I'm going to have to disagree. As far as I know the headlights were an OPTION that was available on all silvias. I could be wrong, but I still disagree at this point.

In any case, the OP shouldn't worry about it. Just pick the ones you like best, that's what they all seem to do in Japan anyways. I personally reccomend the dual projectors. The trips look liks asscrack and the bricks suck balls at lighting up the road...

No problem Thats what Im here for,

I can assure you they werent an Option.
As as as I know my little combo chart is accurate.

You'll never see a J's Rolling around with Tripples or a K's rolling around with Bricks. Unless they were swapped out.

Small Example
K's SR20DET = Tripple Projectors


I personally pulled this off of a Q's with a CA18DE (Duals')
(Not My Chassis)

Wow, you posted 2 pics and that makes you right! I just did a quick google images search for s-13 silvia k's and q's. I didn't see any pattern as to what lights are with what cars. I also tried to focus on cars that appeared to be completely stock and RHD. So far your little theory isn't checking out my friend. Maybe you shouldn't be so smug unless you have something to back yourself up with???

EDIT: Read the trim level description in the link below...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Silvia

The headlights were part of an optional trim package that was available on multiple models. Oh, look. I have some sort of information to back me up too! I do believe that you are right as to the usual models that the lights normally came on, but they were an option that was available on more then one model of silvia, like I said...

Look guy no need to be a dick Im just posting my experiences that Ive dealt with and seen, I'm not saying I know it all but theres no harm if I think Im right, give me some proof im wrong and i will accept that im wrong.

Good luck trying to find a completely stock close to 20 year old J-Spec S13 Silvia, Dont get me wrong Im sure that there are still some floating around. But unless you know someone that is the original owner you will never know if the headlights have been swapped out.

I swapped quite a few around and as well as my buddies and a while back the J's bricks were pretty sought after, I came across a few ppl that wanted the Bricks on their K's, so they would try to find someone with a J's and swap out the headlights if willing

as far as your wikipedia source, you cant really trust whats written there.

So how do you know who wrote the section of the S13 Silvia is correct?

Maybe the person that wrote it just plays alot of Grand Turismo?

I'll give you that it might have been an option for the J's. But if your gonna buy a Silvia J's I dont see why you would spend extra money on headlights.

But still if you were to go to the dealership and buy a J's,Q's, or K's with no extra options, It should come with the combo i posted.


I just want to add this is a friendly debate, so dont take this the wrong way.

I would consider wikipedia a more reliable source then some dude on an internet forum... I will say that you are generally right as to what cars generally came with the lights. In the end though you are still wrong beacuase they are simply part of a trim package that you could get on multiple cars. I would be willing to bet that almost all k's and q's came with the projectors and the j's came with the bricks, but I can GUARANTEE thant not every single one of them came like that.
