Theoretically, the first generation of SILVIA car series is S 10, but before it went on the market, an independent car series kicked off, that is, datsun Silvia car series with code name SCP3 1 1. At that time, it was equipped with a 96 1.6L carburetor engine. Under the layout of FR, coupled with the shape design outlined by the BMW 507 designer at that time, it suddenly became a popular car for young people at that time. From 1964 to 1974, the popularity is outstanding. Next, the model S 10 officially named after SILVIA really went on the market, equipped with 2000cc engine code L20B and horsepower output 105. After that, S 1 10, S 12, S 13, S 14, and then S 15, with the increasing horsepower, the figure became bigger and heavier. S 15 has developed these evolutions to the extreme, with light weight and high power to control famous cars, or it is no longer worthy of the name. S 15 is equipped with a high-performance turbocharged engine with the code name of SR20DET. Under the supercharging value of 0.7 Bar, it can give off the maximum horsepower of 250 horses, but the weight of the car has also soared from the first generation of 978 kg to 1460 kg.
Silvias13 was released at the end of 1988, and it is powered by CA 18DET engine and Fengma 175hp. It is the replacement model of the predecessor S 12. Although it is the replacement version of S 12, the horsepower output decreases instead of increasing. The reason is that the braking system of S 13 front disc and rear drum at that time was inefficient, and the design of the garage was based on safety. The specific method is to limit the range of tail flick by reducing the horsepower output under the framework of not weakening the driving pleasure as much as possible, so as to make it easier for drivers who are not very familiar with their temperament to control.
Nissan Silvia S 13 went on the market at the end of 1988 and stopped production in 1993. It can be subdivided into prophase, metaphase and anaphase. Some minor changes are slightly different according to different sales areas, so I won't repeat them here. Generally speaking, S 13 can be divided into two versions: the early version and the late version. The first edition in 1988 ~ 1990, using CA 18 engine. 90~93 is the later stage, using SR20 engine. Both engines belong to Nissan's high-performance engines at that time, and the turbocharged version of 0-400M is 15 seconds, 14.5 seconds. The torque of SR20 is stronger in the middle section, but there is little difference between the two engines.
However, to achieve an excellent chariot, it is not enough to have a high-powered engine and an excellent chassis technology. Sylvia's body weight advantage is very obvious in other rear-wheel drive, which makes Sylvia very sensitive to driving. The front axle is supported by McPherson suspension, and the vehicle body has the greatest interference to the trajectory of this suspension, that is to say, under certain circumstances, the vehicle body may forcibly pull the front wheel to an angle. The tracking performance of the vehicle depends on the rear wheel propulsion line, and the steering wheel only plays a correction role. Silvia's rear wheel is suspended by multi-links, which has undeniable benefits, especially when accelerating linearly, the rotating tires can provide timely and powerful driving for the load-bearing body. However, the lack of free space also brings problems, and the force of wheels pulling the car body under the action of inertial force is also great.
The crystallization of Sylvia's easy tail flick lies in its front-rear track ratio 1465/ 1460. Theoretically, the rear track should be larger than the front track, so that the vehicle can run smoothly. But it does the opposite, with the aim of making the rear wheels faster. Of course, this has little effect on general driving. But when playing drift, deliberately braking and stepping on the gas pedal only need to cooperate with the steering wheel. The rear wheels will lose grip first. By changing the propulsion angle of the rear wheel, the trajectory of the front wheel can be changed, and a series of gorgeous drifting actions can be created.
The optional configuration of S 13 includes HICAS four-wheel steering system, ABS brake and viscous LSD.
180sx published in Japan in 1989 was a hatchback based on the low price FR in s 13 at that time. The biggest difference from the general s 13 two-door model is the use of tilting headlights. 180sx car name is 1.8L CA 18DET, and sx is the name of Nissan's overseas export edition. Only at that time, the higher version in North America was called 240sx with a 2.4-liter engine, while the NZ/AUS version was called 200sx. Speaking of the evolution of 180sx, in fact, at that time, the factory had already considered merging 180sx into the s 13 train system, and decided to separate from Silvia after the complete 2.0 of 19 180SX. At the beginning, there was only 1.8 L turbo version (type I/II). After 1992 introduced Silvia S 14, 180sx added a 2.0L turbocharged version. 1996 the 2.0 NA version went on the market, and 1997 the final version of Type G went on the market, and the production ended. 180sx, well-known AE86 and Silvia, are all popular cars with cheap tails. SR20DET, a famous Nissan 4-cylinder engine, weighs 1200kg and has a very interesting FR design, which makes it still popular after nearly 8 years of production suspension. Many well-known Japanese active drifters, such as Fanmei Yamaguchi and Shinji Kumakubo, are all based on 65438.
180sx is an independent automobile series produced by the fifth generation Silvia, which made its debut at the beginning of 1989. Due to the twin relationship between 180sx and Silvia, this car is closely related to Silvia in terms of body size, chassis design and power system configuration.
1999 65438+ 10, Nissan released the 7th generation Silvia S 15. S 15 is a rear-drive sports car with excellent performance, and its Spec R version has 250hp horsepower and 28 kg torque output. In July 2000, AUTECH released the open version of S 15, code-named Varietta.
As for the engine, S 15 can be roughly divided into two versions: Spec S and SPEC R. Spec S is equipped with SR20DE, 2.0L NA engine, and the output horsepower torque is165 HP/19.6 kg-m. SPEC R version is equipped with SR20DET and 2.0L turbo intercooler engine. The Japanese native version has a horsepower of 250 HP, and the overseas version has a horsepower of 225 HP and a torque of 28 kg-m. Spec R is equipped with a 6-speed gearbox with dense teeth, which makes the horsepower output of S 15 at all stages smoother. S 15 improves the front and rear suspension system so that the driver can get more accurate feedback information when grasping the steering wheel. In terms of braking, S 15 adopts four pot brake calipers, a sensitive ABS brake system and a larger brake disc. The original Spec R is equipped with a 52mm booster pressure gauge, while the Aero Spec S is equipped with an oil pressure gauge, which fully reflects the running taste of this car.
In the eyes of drifting experts, S 15 is the best drifting machine. Its perfect front-to-rear ratio, 250 horsepower and huge modification potential have attracted many drifting enthusiasts' attention. Japanese popular D 1 racers Hazama jade and Taniguchi both drove S 15 and won several races.
Because of the driving direction and training, S 15 has never been exported to a left-hand drive country like China, but only the previous generation models have been introduced, and a few American versions of S 14 have also been imported in China. Therefore, almost all the S 15 really imported into China are right rudder.
