While Nissan never officially produced a factory-built Nismo S15 Silvia, a "Nismo S15" typically refers to an S15 fitted with the genuine Nismo Aero Kit and other performance parts. These parts were available directly from Nissan's performance division, and when an S15 was equipped with these, it was often referred to as a Nismo model. The S15 was produced between 1999 and 2002 for the Japanese domestic market (JDM).
