Will 240s and Sr20dets will still be popular in another 20 years?

Just look how the US market has become flooded with R32 gtst. Sorry for any Non GTR R32 owners, but I definitely think people should look at other opinions or save the money for something better.



There is definitely a supply in my area. Mostly red tops from $1500-3500. The problem is these engines have been in the states for years now and have been beat to death by multiple owners. I don’t trust a lot of these SRs people are selling nowadays.

I wonder if SRs are cheaper in Canada or the UK because they actually have Silvia’s in those countries?

I would think there won't be many Silvia's running around because so many have been chopped up for the SR's in them.


Yea see no way I would pay 2500 or more for a redtop. A notchtop sure.

So since you mentioned this I started a little research on production numbers.

Before that I’ll mention this, I just paid $3200 for a complete S15 swap with a brand new Driftworks duelmass delete flywheel. I went to Orlando and actually drove the S15 before purchasing the engine to verify all was good. They pulled it out and I picked it up next day.

On to numbers, I’m just going to keep it simple. I’ll post the links below, there is way to much info to post here. Very interesting information about rare Silvia’s and colors. I also didn’t notice a link for s14’s. In any case there should still be a good number of Silvia’s running around......for now. I now am wondering how many Sr20det and Silvia’s have been brought to the states over the past 15ish years. 20,000, 30,000 engines? Maybe a couple hundred Silvias.

Total S15 built 43097 S15s (41954 coupe and 1143 convertible)
38741 Japanese Silvias (37598 coupe, 1143 convertible)
3879 Australian 200SX
477 New Zealand 200SX

Total 302,761 JDM S13s built
4 colours (4J1, 4J2, 6G1, TK3) were only used once, and 5G9 twice.
