If you’re a fan of Japanese performance cars, you might be familiar with Yahoo Auctions and all the incredible JDM cars you can bid on. While recently browsing through the classifieds, we recently came across a Nissan S15 Silvia drift car that is looking for a new home.
The S15 Silvia, also known as the 200SX in some markets, is one of Nissan’s most beloved sports cars from this late 1990s and early 2000s this side of a Skyline. It has a sleek, low-slung body and this example has been extensively modified to make it perfect for drift competitions.

The car has been equipped with an aggressive widebody kit and was built for the D1 Grand Prix in 2015. In addition to the flared arches, it features a pronounced front splitter, rocker panels, and a rear diffuser. The Lamborghini orange paint scheme also makes it stand out as do the new hood, complete with hood pins, and the aftermarket taillights.
Comprehensive mechanical modifications were made to the car to get it drift-ready. For example, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder’s capacity has been increased to 2.1-liters and it now pumps out 396 hp and 338 lb-ft (458 Nm) of torque, all of which is sent to the rear wheels courtesy of a manual transmission. Images also show that the car sits on coilovers at all four corners.
The interior now sports a roll cage, Bride racing seats, an aftermarket three-spoke steering wheel, a new shifter, hydraulic handbrake, and painted inner door panels. The car’s chassis has roughly 250,000 km (155,000 miles) on it.
