s14 was manufactured in the years 1995-1998
The pic you posted is of a s13 coupe with a silvia front. It is NOT a sileighty. It's closer to being a silvia than the fasback, but still not a silvia.

it's a rhd, along with all the other cars, would this not make it a silvia?

The 'Silvia' name is only genuine on RHD coupes. There is no such thing as a hatch 'Silvia".

The car in the pic is either an actual Silvia or a 240 coupe, with front end and RHD conversion

so you want an s13 (1989-1993) hatch with an s14 (95-96/97-98) front end? Which generation front end, the 1995-1996 (Zenki) or the 1997-1998 (Kouki)? Well either way its gonna cost some money, search around as its been covered here recently.

That pic if from a Japanese Drift vid, its an actual Silvia...

and if you want your car to look like that, get the S13 Silvia conversion and put it on a coupe

BTW all your answers are here:

S13 Conv.
