S13 (1988 to 1994)

This market covers the Nissan Silvia S13, produced between 1988 and 1994 as part of Nissan’s S-chassis performance car lineage and widely regarded as one of the most influential rear-wheel-drive sports cars of its era. Built on a lightweight, balanced platform, the S13 was offered with a range of naturally aspirated and turbocharged inline-four engines, most notably the SR20DET, and was available in coupe and fastback body styles. The S13 gained global popularity through motorsport, drifting, and tuning culture, becoming a foundational platform in the growth of Japanese performance car enthusiasm throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. Values in the S13 market are driven by engine specification, originality, condition, mileage, and body style, with turbocharged, manual, and unmodified examples commanding the strongest premiums. As clean, factory-spec cars become increasingly difficult to find, the Silvia S13 has seen rising collector interest and steady appreciation as a recognised modern classic.
