Actually in Japan that would be a 180sx. The Silvia did not have the popup lights and had the rear body that is the 240sx coupe here in the US. A 180sx has the popup lights and the rear of what we call the 240sx hatchback.Slade wrote:OMG its a Silvia or as we call it a Nissan 240sx over here in USA,but they call it a Silvia in Japan.They are the perfect Drift cars.I think its kinda cool
The only american made car that embodies anything close to what KITT would look like style wise is a Corvette. Sorry, but the Camaro and Challenger are too chunky, and retro (i.e. 60's & 70's, not an iota of 80's or 90's). The 2010 Mustang, while not as chunky, and especially after KR 08, could work, but the shape is simply not there.krrdr2010 wrote:I didn't like it(Nice effort, though).

believe me this guy spent more money for that car than to have a trans am!!Ttaskmaster wrote:Nicely done!!!
Not everyone can afford the time, money, effort and resources to get a 100% screen accurate version of KITT, so I think this guy has done very well with what he has!!
Ooops my bad,yeah everytime I see a 240sx over here my drifting buddies call it a Silvia,heck Ive even seen some 240sx that have Silvia written on the back.No worries man,thanks for correcting me.I tried getting into the drifting thing a while ago,still do occasionallyShadowKnight006 wrote:

Sorry, I have owned 5 of these over the years LOL.
I think this replica is awesome, I had thought the s13 (89-94 240sx) hatch resembles the trans am/firebird for a long time. Glad to see someone did it.
Yea some 240's, 1995 and up (aka s14) are pretty much the same in appearance. It would get too lengthy to explain it all here lol, check out http://www.nicoclub.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; sometime .Slade wrote: Ooops my bad,yeah everytime I see a 240sx over here my drifting buddies call it a Silvia,heck Ive even seen some 240sx that have Silvia written on the back.No worries man,thanks for correcting me.I tried getting into the drifting thing a while ago,still do occasionally
actually it was suppose to be the 280zx because the 300zx didn't come out until 1984, knight rider started in 1982ULTRASUBS wrote:BOYS AND GIRLS !!!!!!!!!!!!
The IRONIC thing is that originally KITT was going to be a 300 ZX !!!!!!!
Until the third generation Trans Am was seen the original plan was to use a NISSAN !!!!!!!!!
I guess thank GOD for all of us that they went with the third gen F-body............... I don't think if they used a Camaro that it would have been the same.
Sometimes the "PERFECT" combination is the right place at the right time !!!
They pulled cars off the pre-production line to make this happen, that is why the FIRST cars had no Vin # and were assigned Vin's from the studio.
I AM AN IDIOT when it comes to posting pictures so I need a volunteer to help out for me for me to Email pictures to post.
TRUST ME.......... this will be a special treat to see the original cars during building and during filming.
again, for those that don't remember, I own the Bench Warmers KITT and he is restored to his "as used in series" condition.
I did make a few modifications like a 500 horsepower 383 stroker and such.......... what good is KITT without the ability to at least do 1/2 of what performance they showed on TV LOL...............
I'm just PRAYING AND WAITING for the day that some Magazine want to do battle of the TV Cars, KITT will STOMP.
PLEASE, somebody help me out so we all can enjoy some GREAT pictures.
Thanks,
