Supposedly, there are rumors going around that there is a real Silvia for sale in OC.  I am in touch with the guy and I got first dibs to see it.  Its an S13 that was owned by a Japanese dude who had to return to Japan for reasons unknown. Basically it got repo'd, I am trying to find out if it was titled in the states or not, and I am going down to look at the car this week.  But, I want to know how I can make sure if it is truely from Japan, beside the RHD and SR.  What the easiest way to make sure it is a true s13 and not just a conversion?
