JDM Silvia S13: 302,761 documented across 4 chassis prefixes (S13 CA18 2WS, KS13 CA18 4WS, PS13 SR20 2WS, KPS13 SR20 4WS) and 25 chassis-specific matrix rows (18 base trim families spread across the four chassis groups). CA18 generation (S13/KS13) launched 1988; SR20 generation (PS13/KPS13) facelift from January 1991. K's = top-trim turbo (CA18DET/SR20DET); Q's = mid-trim NA (CA18DE/SR20DE); J's = entry NA. HICAS II / Super HICAS denotes the 4-wheel-steer (KS13/KPS13) chassis. 22-colour matrix sourced from gtr-registry.com Wayback 2023-12-07 (en-s13-colours.php). Visible colour cells sum to 302,640; the remaining 121 records have unknown chassis-prefix assignment (S13 69 / KS13 27 / PS13 13 / KPS13 12). CONFLICTING with the prior repo figure of 298,904 (also single-archive from gtr-registry, compiled from the per-prefix VIN tables); the +3,857 / +1.3% delta likely reflects updated gtr-registry records between vintages. Both estimates remain pending corroboration by a primary Nissan source.
S13
A USA-only Limited Edition convertible built on the S13 coupe body for the 1992 model year. Advertised by Nissan US as "The 240SX that combines the open road with the open sky." A coachbuilt conversion — the hardtop is removed and replaced with a power-operated black matte canvas soft top with manual latches and a dash-mounted control switch. Marketed as the open-air sibling to the 240SX Coupe, inheriting its aerodynamic rear spoiler, body-colour bumpers, and alloy wheels.
Exact production figure is not stated in the dealer brochure and is not recorded here. Known to be a low-volume, US-only coachbuilt variant — figure to be confirmed against Nissan USA sales records before publishing.
