The Nissan Silvia S15 and 200SX, were both late 1990s-early 2000s sports coupes that gained a cult following for their affordability, performance, and customisation potential. Both came equipped with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine making them lively performers on the track. While not the most fuel-efficient, they weren’t exorbitant in terms of running costs.
The interiors are comfortable enough for everyday driving, but lack the bells and whistles of modern infotainment systems. However, their simplicity makes them prime candidates for aftermarket upgrades, allowing owners to tailor the driving experience. Both cars are popular platforms for enthusiasts due to the wealth of available aftermarket parts, letting you optimise them for racing or simply personalise your ride.
The Silvia has a slight edge in terms of production year (potentially better condition for used models), but the 200SX might be easier to find depending on your location. Ultimately, both are fantastic options for those seeking a fun, affordable, and customisable sports car.
Why Choose a Mantic Track Multi-plate Clutch Kit?
Performance Clutch Systems typically involve an increase in clamp load and/or use of aggressive friction material to achieve higher torque capacity. However there is a practical limit – Increasing clamp load by more than 20% can put the vehicle’s hydraulic system under stress, significantly reducing clutch system life and resulting in very high clutch pedal actuation effort. And the use of aggressive friction material will noticeably reduce driveability. Enter the benefits of a Mantic multi-plate clutch system. A 9″ Twin Plate Mantic Track system has the same effective surface area as an 18 single plate clutch, and a 9 Triple Plate Mantic Track system equates to 27. So increasing clamp load is no longer a priority as the significantly larger surface area creates a massive torque capacity increase.
