New to the forum heres my seleighty.

The reasoning behind the Sil-eighty from my understanding was that most kids driving the mountain passes would wreck their front ends, so they'd replace it with the Silvia front end, which was cheaper than a new set of pop-ups.
It may be folklore, but I thought that was a pretty cool story...lol. It's what I've heard.

The drifters crashing their cars is how it started, but they realized that the silvia front end is something like 40 pounds (iirc) lighter than the 180sx front, so I guess you could say that it is functional.
