The first time we saw this 1993 Nissan Silvia K’s at the Niigata Charity Car Show, it looked a bit different. It sat on Work VSXX wheels, and had a roof rack with a pair of tires strapped on it, as seen here. We could see a little bit of USDM influence with the roof rack, stickers and license plate, but what we didn’t know was that the owner (Kappa) is a huge fan of the USDM scene! The more we found out about Kappa and his car, the more surprised we were at the amount of USDM things that were on & in this car. We’ll get to that below, but for now take a look at what a typical day looks like for Kappa. The word on the street is that he loves to drift on the outskirts of Toyama, Japan…on the daily.

This ’93 Silvia features a 240sx pignose face swap and a BNR32 front lip up front. Vanquish front fenders with USDM front and and rear side markers were added along with USDM side mirrors. Whether you’re an S Chassis fan or not, you’ve got to love this particular car. It would be just the car we would want if we lived in Japan. Scroll down for more photos taken by our newest photographer Hirota Kazuki.
There was plenty of work done to the suspension, so we’ll just drop the list below for you. The more we see this car, the more we fall in love with it, as a matter of fact, we never wanted an S13 as much as we do now! Make sure you click the Read More link for some more sliding shots!
Coilovers: F: Kei Office / R: CUSCO // Camber: -6F / -7.5R // CUSCO F / R strut bars // CUSCO tension rods // HCR32 tie rods with URAS spacers // KTS Solid steering bushing // KTS Solid rear subframe bushings // ODR camber arms // ODR toe control rods // ODR traction rods
We’ll give you a list go-fast modification below, as there are way too many! We’re jealous!

For his wheels, this time around he went with a set of SSR SP1’s in 17×9 (-1) & 17×10 (-1). They’re accompanied by a set of 205/40 and 215/40 tires, which as you can imagine get swapped out very often. Just take a look at the image above and you’ll understand why. Interior is pretty awesome too, with a USDM meter cluster, sunvisor, and the turn signal/wiper switch control. Other things that Kappa added to his ride are Defi BF water temp, oil temp, oil press, boost gauges with control unit, RECARO SR-3 / SR-2, 320mm deep dish steering wheel, Quick release boss kit and lastly a BNR32 shifter.
Big thanks to Kappa and out photographer Hirota Kazuki for hooking us up with these shots. It’s truly an honor to be admired by those whom we admire just as much.
