silvia aero?

[jlw778]

i just got my hands on a oem s13 silvia areo bumper. my question is what headlights came with that bumper from the factory? or could you get that bumper with any headlight configuration?

[Sileighty_85]

Google "S13 Silvia" and you will see or "S14 Silvia" depending on what chassis its for

[raz0rbladez909]

why don't you try searching

[240sxcure]

My guess is Triple projectors.

I also receieved a aero bumper with my silvia front clip and it has Triple projectors

[kalypso123]

you can use bricks, double projectors, or triples with the silvia front.

why does it matter, which ones came with the aero bumper...?

nvm, im leaving

[jlw778]

i no i can use any of the 3 headlights! im trying to figure out what came from the factory. was the aero bumper a option with all 3 headlight?

Hello, I believe you meant to hit new reply in this thread: http://zilvia.net/f/chat/297481-smal...w-threads.html
but instead you hit start new thread... or at least I hope that's what you did.

[Slammed Assassin]

use popup's and give me the bumper..haha

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...

[Karlitos]

according to wiki "Projector optics were offered as an option." Read the s13 section. and later states " all K's Club Selections came with projector headlamps" doesn't designate triple or dual but it does say it was an option. Im not all too familiar with the s13 so could it be different years? they upgraded to triple later on. just throwing it out there.

[DreamN]

Just go look at gran turismo really quick lol

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.

For all you know it might be the same guy.

I doubt J-Spec Nissan Techs wrote that information.

well we'll never know for certain since we weren't old enough to drive then or in Japan when they came out.

No point in arguing over this pointless topic right?

So on a friendly note, Peace out.

[kalypso123]

i still dont know why the OP cares... are you doing a restoration?

[Donkey Kong]

Ya I know thread is a couple months old, get over it. Everyone here is being retarded "search" blah blah blah... sorry but you'll search and come up with nothing. To answer the OP's question, tripples typically came on the K's aero bumper, but Japan was weird like that and sometimes you'd get different lights. I have a real K's... no not converted and it came with bricks, it wasn't a k's aero just a regular k's, has the original k's badges on the sides, vin says so etc etc and all the wiring is for bricks.


Anyways so here the reason for bumping the thread, I figure rather than make a new one I could add to this one, I also have ditched my stock k's bumper for a K's aero bumper and k's aero side skirts, and k's aero floor mats, I'm kind of a purist when it comes to how I will mod my car, have had the car for years so don't talk to me like I'm dumb. Anyways I have never seen an original K's aero car here in the US. I love oem optional parts so wondering if anyone knows if there was any special interior fabrics (door panel, rear seats, crap like that) that came on them that would be worth trying to find.

And for the person that says who cares blah blah blah as I'm sure will come just please STFU and drive your busted ass welded diff s13 off a cliff, some of us actually do care.

The only interior fabrics were, depending on years the gray and tan tweed or the purple and tan suede. The only option was leather.

[Donkey Kong]

No sir I've seen quite a few different ones on the JDM cars, I've even seen the suede type in black... I used to work for JDM Engine Depot so we'd get clips in all the time and you could see the glovebox fabric on the clips but obviously no door panels or seats. That's why I'm wondering if there was anything special on the k's aero package cars.

Here's where I got my answer

[rob22]

dont mess with him^^^^
he knows his shit.

[Donkey Kong]

Ya but for different years different colors were availible, I have all those as well, but I have seen things which conflict with that, also are the optional packages in there.. you could also custom order things as well. I mean I'm not trying to argue with you or act as I know more, but trust me I've been with the whole s-chassis thing for quite a while, my roommate also imports cars so I've seen my fair share of Silvias here in the US.
