Start counting now!
I am not going to divulge my source, but I have it on VERY GOOD authority that Nissan HQ have signed off on the next generation Silvia. Now that the GT-R is out, and the next Z is weeks away from release "the next big project is the '16'" I was told.
So here's the scoop:
The big point is this is not going to a baby-Z or the like, it's herritage is pure Silvia.
So what can we do? As a community, let's get behind Nissan and make this car happen. Contact the sales program manager at your local Nissan subsidiary POLITELY and tell them how much you want the new Silvia to be a reality. Let's all be grown-ups and it might just become a reality.

I tried to find one of these but there didn't seem to be one. Guess I'll just
have to write my own...
Information has been culled from a lot of sources. Where someone sends me some
material I will try to acknowledge them in some way.
That would be me. I'm Chris Moran, and this site started out as a hobby when I couldn't find much information in English on the Silvia and 200SX. It's not all my own ideas or research, others contribute and I credit their information on the pages. You can reach me at chris_dot_moran@200sx_dot_org
