S-chassis "easter egg" hunt - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*Yuri* · 02-16-2006, 10:06 AM

I know there is a thread on "what rare parts do you have on your car"
But this is a little different.
S13's and S14's were offered with many different options that many buyers opted out of, thus making them a coveted rarity today.
Some well known examples are the creamy yellow two-tone, and lavender frost color schemes dropped after one year, and the rare oem trunk luggage rack.

This thread is so we can discover these oem rareties and share them with others.

It can be anything from the varities of jdm two-tones, to rare models, parts, or accessories. The only requirement is that it HAS TO BE OEM.

Here are some examples, and their backgrounds:

This is the "coolbox" option for the S13 Silvia. The box inside the glovebox is ducted into the a/c system, and used to cool drinks.

Lavender frost. This color was offered in the US only in 1989. In Japan it was offered on the Silvia as a two-tone scheme, and was still offered on the SR-powered S13's

I should be getting a 1989 silvia sales brochure, so maybe more parts will present themselves, like the oem turbo timer.

EchoOfSilence · 02-16-2006, 11:17 AM

WOW. I had no idea about that cool box.
Lavender frost actually looks dope. aha.
Anyway, I guess I'll contribute, but I'm sure people are sick of seeing it by now.

Andrew Bohan · 02-16-2006, 11:38 AM

if that car had the cool box, it would REALLY deserve to be called a refridgerator. same color as one and keeps shit cold too!

EchoOfSilence · 02-16-2006, 01:34 PM

I need to get one of those now. *sigh* gotta hit up raretrick

nissantuner22 · 02-16-2006, 06:45 PM

I love the 2 tone coupes. I dunno why, but I do

axiomatik · 02-16-2006, 07:17 PM

It's because a two-tone paint job makes the car look longer and lower, reduces the visual height of the car. Plus, because the lower portion is dark, it blends with the shadow under the car, also making it look lower.

No, its because twotones are the shit.

All that other stuff, you're just imagining things.

mad s13 · 02-17-2006, 07:24 AM

i've got a few brochures too...one for the 180sx and s13 , and a navan catalog for the s13 silvia, as well as the sileighty brochure, lots of intersting things in them. I've got a factory fan controller switch...set hi or low, i'll get some pics of it soon. also how many of you guys knew the 180sx had a rear fog light availiable?

also i need to see a pic of the lavender frost 2 tone!!!!!

pignosecoupe · 02-17-2006, 09:16 AM

I dont know if it is "rare" but I havn't seen another with this exact color. I havn't seen others in person that are exactly.

Carry on.

You still haven't fixed the headlights huh?

lol! ok that was pretty funny.

here's my contribution to the thread:

Automatic models also feature Nissan's "DUET-EA" system, an electronic link between the engine control module (ECM) and the transmission designed to facilitate smoother, more controlled shifts. Many users have been known to circumvent this system however in favor of a more "sports car" feeling to the ride, similar to that of an agressivley shifted manual transmission.

There is one of those by my house that I see an old guy driving all the time, and it seriously bums be out. One of these days I'm gonna find out where he lives and leave a note on the car asking him to sell, lol.

*ManoNegra* · 02-17-2006, 11:08 AM

Sorry don't have pics but I hear the cup holder option is somewhat rare.
Anyone knows the factory code for that lavender color? Looks good.

axiomatik · 02-17-2006, 11:25 AM

LG1 according to the color chart at socal240sx.org:

edit: anyone seen a solid silver green pearl HB? According to the chart, it was available in 90, but I can't think of any I've ever seen.

my hatchback was originally that color, plus i see at least 2 of the blue/gray 2 tones in my town once a week.

plus i'm kicking myself because there was a minty/gray 2 tone for sale before i bought my 240...didn't realize at the time how rare they were..

lastly there was a creme/beige 2 tone in my local junkyard that got crushed recently

(as well as 2 other nice red hatches..one of which gave up its black interior to me)

*Yuri* · 02-17-2006, 03:41 PM

Here's my new silver-green two-tone. horrible pic I know

You are all going to hate me because I'm repainting it lavender frost. Although if everyone keeps jumping on the as yet unstarted lavender frost bandwagon, I may have to just repaint it the stock color.

But enough of this turning into a "I have a USDM two-tone" thread, let's see some other stuff.

Could someone give me some info on the color code LK0 or #LK0? I doubt this color ever came over to North America. The color is a purplish grey pearl and came with my SR 180sx.

DUDEIDONTHAVEA240 · 02-17-2006, 04:11 PM

is the stock turbo timer made by blitz? when i bought a front clip tucked away under dash very neatly with what looked like OEM wiring on a plug was a blitz turbo timer. if it is ill take a pic

*Yuri* · 02-17-2006, 05:06 PM

The oem turbo timer has a switch mounted where the coin holder usually goes on the dash.

trsilvias13 · 02-17-2006, 05:34 PM

i wonder waht is thunder black?

aa87 · 02-17-2006, 11:12 PM

God, lavender frost looks like the hotness, i want to see how it looks in person, im tempted to get some!

Revolver Ocelot · 02-17-2006, 11:19 PM

I have the Kouki S14 Silvia catalog and don't see the HUD listed.

I like the striped down K's with steelies and radio delete.

Check page 22 (Assuming you have the brochure with the white kouki on the front)! It is on there.

I think that is actually the Titanium Leather, it looks a bit light but the pattern in the leather is the same.
