Nissan Silvia (S14) K's Aero [Premium] 1996Done (GT7)

RandomCarGuy17 · Jun 3, 2015

Of all of the blasted PS2 era cars I've wanted to see remodeled as a full-on premium, I somehow let this one slip by me. Alright, I'm going to say this; I love the kouki body S14 Nissan Silvia! I absolutely love the look of these. Seriously, I turn my head when I see a US-version, the 240SX pass by me on the road. With that said, that's really why I want to see this remodeled later on in Gran Turismo. The styling just seemed more striking to me than the Zenki S14.

So yeah, with the fact there's no premium S14 in GT yet. I figured that if Polyphony were to model any S14 Silvia; I would want it to be this one. Also, I picked the JDM Silvia rather than the 240SX or 200SX counterparts from North American & Europe since I figured it would be easier for PD to model one in Japan.

Wiki Information:

There was a mild styling update to the S14 during 1996, which added aggressive-looking projector headlamps and tinted taillights to all models. Fascias and other exterior trim pieces were also revised. The turbocharger now used a more efficient ball bearing center section. This updated version is also known as the kouki (後期, literally "later period") S14, or by enthusiasts as the S14A. It was sold as the second generation 240SX in North America from 1995 to 1998. The final model year of S14 production in all markets was 2000, called the Touring Model, which had a better engine block, pistons, and better acceleration in lower gears.

Though, I wouldn't call this a mild styling update to be honest. I mean, the front for instance looks nothing like the Zenki S14.

You mean the S14B (the facelift), right?

To be honest, I'm not sure that were supposed to put A or B next to the chassis codes. I mean, I didn't see anything about pointing out facelifts in the guidelines before when marking the generation. I could check again.

EDIT: I don't see anything in the guidelines about facelifts, just the generations. Also, the facelift is labelled as "S14A" by enthusiasts; it's not officially called that.
