The Nissan Silvia S15, a beloved JDM sports car, will turn 25 years old in 2024. This means that it will finally be legal to import into the United States, where it has been highly sought-after by enthusiasts for years.

The S15 was produced from 1999 to 2002, and it was the last generation of the Silvia to be sold in Japan. It was praised for its lightweight design, powerful engine, and excellent handling. The S15 was also featured in popular video games such as Gran Turismo and the Fast and Furious franchise, which further increased its popularity.

While the S15 was never officially sold in the US, it has been imported illegally by enthusiasts. However, these cars have been difficult to find and expensive to purchase. With the S15 becoming legal to import in 2024, fans are expecting a flood of cars to enter the US market.

This is good news for fans of the S15, but it is also likely to drive up the price of the car. In addition to the S15's popularity among enthusiasts, the car is also becoming more valuable as a collector's item. With only around 30,000 S15s produced, the car is already considered to be a rare and desirable model.

The S15's 25th anniversary is sure to be a major event for JDM enthusiasts in the US. Many fans are already planning to import S15s in 2024, and there is likely to be a lot of excitement and activity surrounding the car.

Here are some of the things that fans can expect when the S15 becomes legal to import in the US:

  • A flood of S15s entering the market, both from Japan and from existing illegal imports.
  • Increased competition for S15s, which will drive up prices.
  • A renewed interest in the S15 from enthusiasts and collectors.
  • More opportunities to see and drive S15s at car shows and events.
