S13 Variants

The S13 generation of the Nissan 240SX included a distinctive hatchback variation, known in Japan as the Nissan 180SX. This variant not only contributed to the 240SX’s versatile lineup but also played a significant role in shaping the drift culture.

The S13 hatch, often affectionately called the “Sil-Eighty” due to its front-end conversion with parts from the Silvia (S13) and the 180SX, featured a striking silhouette that blended sporty performance with everyday convenience. Its rear hatch design offered practicality while maintaining an unmistakable sense of style. This fusion of sportiness and versatility made the S13 hatch and its Japanese counterpart, the 180SX, iconic choices for enthusiasts looking to explore the exhilarating world of drifting while still meeting their daily driving needs.
