Default Cool mystery car in Singapore

Saw this today--I think it's very clean, but I'm not sure what it is. This is ONLY car I have see so far in this country that is lowered with decent wheels. It's funny because in the city, I've seen all kinds of really expensive cars--Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Porsches, even several GTRs and Audi R8s--but I hardly see anything modified in any way.

Can anyone identify it?

Indeed. We got the 240SX that looked like a fake SC at the time. They got the lovely Silvia in Japan. What a wonderful vehicle.

What we got

Silvia was an elegant car. Not sure why the S15 wasn't offered in the US, maybe they only made RHD.

The car in the OP's pics show the newer model, which never came to the US. The S14 you linked in your post was the same body they had everywhere else in the world, but they just got the nicer turbocharged engine.
