200SX S15

The Nissan 200SX S15 represents the export-market designation for the Nissan Silvia S15, sold in markets including Australia and New Zealand from 1999-2002. The 200SX features the SR20DET 2.0-liter inline-four turbocharged engine producing 250 horsepower (184 kW) at 6,400 rpm in Spec-R specification, with 275 Nm (203 lb-ft) of torque at 4,800 rpm. Power is delivered through a 6-speed manual transmission (Spec-R) or 4-speed automatic to the rear wheels.

Performance figures include 0-60 mph in 6.4 seconds with a top speed of 142 mph. The 200SX features refined styling with distinctive round headlights, lightweight construction weighing approximately 2,730 pounds, multi-link rear suspension, helical LSD rear differential, and balanced rear-wheel-drive handling. The Spec-R variant adds 6-speed close-ratio transmission, Brembo brakes, stiffer suspension tuning, and HICAS rear-steering system. The 200SX/Silvia S15 gained legendary status in drifting and tuning communities worldwide thanks to the SR20DET's high modification potential (some builds exceeding 400 horsepower), balanced chassis, and affordable pricing. The S15 was never officially sold in North America, making it highly desirable among enthusiasts and recently becoming legal for import under the 25-year rule. In stock form, the 200SX offers turbocharged power, rear-wheel-drive handling, lightweight dynamics, and refined styling in a driver-focused sport coupe package, representing the pinnacle of Nissan's S-chassis lineage and one of the most iconic JDM sports cars of its era.
