if anyone can answer those questions, I have a blue peter badge waiting
Very rare, I only know of about 7 or 8 now. They were one of the first s13's and only available in pre-facelift. I imagine it wasn't the most popular colour from the factory but now its easily the best. As far as I know only the silver green pearl over dark mettalic grey was available on the UK cars, the other 2 tone options were jdm/usdm etc only and I'm not 100% sure or not but could have only been on the ps13 as well.
Here's mine plus a few other variations:
Saw one of the green/black s13's with a tow bar and being driven by an older lady around near here recently
1998 Nissan 200sx s14a , 2000 std 5 speed with nismo supercoppermix clutch bn6 Sapphire Blue
They're the best S13, but also the rarest.

i love the green/gray combo on S13's. Also seen a crazt 300 in the same scheme and it looked awesome!
I've made my S13 on forza this colour now aswell

Chall is selling one in the for sale section for 500 pounds! Most of the exterior is mint just needs some welding underneath and on the boot

That first one Dunkz posted has just given me a stiffy
They are the NICEST combo for sho'
Two reasons, 1) its really hard to get someone to even come and view a car this north, never mind if it doesn't have an mot or tax. 2) It's winter.. nobody buys cars that need work in winter
I'm really surprised it hasnt gone especially given the good condition of the wheel arches etc. I can vouch for Chall though, I bought my S13 200sx from him about 4 years ago and the engine run brilliantly etc. also he knows what hes doing when it comes to cars being a master mechanic.
there's a lot more pictures of it here: http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=402573
I was half tempted to nip up and grab chall's one myself just to get it welded up and back on the road so another two tone could live on but its just having the time to do it.

yeh 2-tones are sweet, i'm gutted i cant get mine on the road and will be gutted to see it go when someone buys it. Just see what 2010 brings. I have had alot of interest via here and pistonheads and then they realise how far north i am, shame really. Gonna have to resort to Ebay i think...
Ed's one is how i'd like mine to have looked with wheels the same colour as the lower half and as what Dunkz has done to his splits
cheers dave for the words
Theres a 2-tone silvia in Initial-D too
330 Green/Grey colour code 5G7 came into UK as RS13U all are pre-facelift. None of the other 2 tone colours are UK spec and will only be found on imported Silvia/180SX.
52 are series 1 S/N JN100RS13U01xxxxx, these will usually be H reg.
the other 278 are series 0, S/N JN100RS13U00xxxxx, these will usually be G reg.
My parts donor is G reg green/grey, £150 6 years ago.
