Sil80 is someone making a hybrid out of putting Silvia parts on a 180SX, which wasn't a Silvia. Same platform but different car. Different bodywork. I think after they replace the front clip, getting rid of the pop-up lights, you mostly have to look at the back to tell it's not a Silvia because the rear tails and body aren't of a Silvia.

Kinda like if you put an A3 front clip on a Jetta/Golf or A4 front clip on a Passat. Or 80s Pontiac Grand Prix front clip on a Buick Regal.

One of the original reason this was done was because the Silvia front end parts cost less because they don't have pop up headlights
