You should pop over to www.nissansilvia.com and have a look at the forums there. I think there might be several silvias. Austrian Spec ones I have seen as cheep as 25k but I think you will find they mostly start about 27k for something in good nik. Cheers Adrian

Yep... after looking about this web site I have pretty much decided on a GTR I think. There are some really nice ones up for sale that I would buy if I were here... I just gotta wait till the end of the year when I am actually back in Australia!! Thanks Guys!!

Yeah the upgraded seats in my club Q's are much better than the original seats. The front of the S13 benifited from the addition of a strut brace, but the rear is fine without. Because mine is a non-turbo I can't say much about the turbo version which no doubt enjoys its LSD. Basically the car is nice to drive but you would need some harder suspension, a camber kit and a strut brace for the front to get some real handling. Interior is very nice, particularly for a car of the age. Much better than most of the cheaper modern cars. Cheers Adrian PS. I was debating between a S15 and a R33 GTR... I know performance is a fair difference and the style but still new verse old and both the same price.

Hey Maxx, Thanks for the information. It is good to find some first hand experiance. Cheers Adrian

Can I add a question to this little discussion. Do you think it would be better to get a GTR (R33 say 1995 model) or something like a 2002 S15? Having not driven either and just looked at specs it is hard to judge which would be better in "real world driving". Obviously the GTR is a faster track car but that said the S15 is newer and probably a little less expensive. Any thought from personal experiance? Cheers Adrian
