I've been looking for one for about 3-4months now, they're an absolute pain in the arse to find NEAT!, I've looked at about 6 or 7 now and spent about $500 (lost 200 on deposit) looking at them. I might have finally found one though, but the price has to be right.

Yes, Silvias and 180s have the same chassis outlay, just different body shapes, interiors are identical its all the same.
I think it was late "91 when sr20det's (redtop) were introduced in the 180SX (RPS13), the blacktop sr20det was introduced in "94 and the SR20DE (silvertop) came out in "96 (KRPS13 -roundlights).
The red & blacktop SR20DET don't have much different except for head designs and possibly some other stuff???

My advice if your short on money is to but a cheap Silvia (heaps around) with the CA18 or SR20DE with auto, and do an engine swap to either a SR20DET or RB20DET. Or even just do a manual conversion on an auto 180SX (their cheaper).

Stuff to look out for on the S13s is rusting strut towers, I've only seen 2 without it, if there is rust, your bound to find it on the whole car, also look out for shaft play on the turbo, alot of cars have been thrashed or the boost has been wound up beyond it's capabilities.
