The Nissan Sileighty is a Japanese hatchback sports car that began as an enthusiast modification and later became a limited, dealer-sold variant of the Nissan 180SX. Street racers who damaged the front end of a 180SX fitted the fixed-headlight front assembly of the S13 Silvia in its place, joining the Silvia nose to the fastback body of the 180SX, and the name blends Silvia and 180SX. The earliest documented example appeared in a Japanese magazine in August 1989. In 1998 the tuning company Kid's Heart sold about 500 Sileighty cars through Nissan dealerships, built on the late 180SX with the SR20DE or the turbocharged SR20DET engine, and Nissan registered the name as a trademark for them. The car is also well known from the manga and anime Initial D and from racing video games.
