Hey guys, decided to sell my pride and joy its a 1990 Sil80, Ca18det, Auto, with 120,000 clicks on the clock, with the following modifcations, 3" cat back exhaust, HKS genuine pod filter, HKS genuine Blow off Valve, Front and rear strut braces, 5 x 7" kicker coaxel speakers up the front(makes the car have a great sound), clarion headunit, genuine BN sports kit, rolling on 17" osaka racing rims with 225 wide rubber, also has boost guage, momo competition steering wheel, and aftermarket drivers seat, digital climate control, sunroof, stiffened suspension, alarm, remote central locking, 2 way immobilizer and 3 year warranty on the car transferred onto new buyer(ask me more via pm!), also comes with rego till feburary This car is alot of fun to drive, and handles like its on rails due to its light weight, it would be perfect for someones first car or a project car.

bump..

now i know this may be really hard to explain as none of you are actually here, but i was just wondering about a couple of noises my car has developed(1990 Sil80 CA18DET)(i have had the car two days, so it may be that i'm just being more aware of the noises), anyway the first noise when i am coming on boost at around the 50km mark, and it gears up (i drive an auto) it lets out a small sound as it gears up, it sounds sort of like a small amount of boost is being let out, was just wondering if that was normal/not problematic (I have an aftermarket BOV, think it might be boost leak? the second noise when the car gets turned on, i noticed a strange almost electric sound, like a fan (no it's not the pod filter or anything), and it gets faster the more i put my foot on the accelerator, however it seems that it only develops after the car gets warm, when i drive it cold it's not there...the noise isnt a belt clipping anything either i don't think as i revved it while a friend looked under the bonnet and nothing, seems to be coming from under the wheel arches?) the final noise when idleing there is a sort of ticking noise, that almost sounds as though something on the car is being tapped in with a hammer, at times it gets fastish, then slows down again Also the center console and footwells seem to get very very hot, i don't know if it's just engine heat or what? anyone got any ideas? the final two noises i was thinking maybe its a low speed fan or something? i'm not really too sure? just wondering if anyone has had similar noises/ if they are normal or troublesome, or something i should get checked out? i've driven the car all day today, and none of the noises seem to be affecting how the car runs, or anything like that, so i am thinking maybe i'm just being paranoid.. Thanks heaps for your help and i hope it is just me being paranoid:)

hey guys, i am curious, if a stock standard car produces 147kw at 7 psi, if the boost was increased to 10psi, what kind of kW output would i be acheiving?

awesome, thanks for clarifying that again mate Cheers, Dave

Hey guys, i am currently on my P's and live in victoria, and i know it's illegal to drive a turbo'd 33, is it however illegal to drive a turbo'd 33 on an adelaide or ACT or tasmanian, or NSW licence? if so, is it possible to go to one of these places, and transfer the licence into one of theres? or is there re-testing required, bla bla bla Thanks for your help. Dave

thanks heaps for your goldmine of information mate:D much appreciated, but let me just get a few things straight, firstly, i can have a seat installed and harnesses fitted so long as they don't interfere with the normal set of belts, so i have both sets installed and able to be used at once, i just select which i use? and the seat must either fit the standard factory ones, or i can run other rails so long as they are engineer certified? and when using the harnesses, remove the back seat and put carpet over the top, and if i am queried explain whats gone on and it's sweet? or can the back seat remain there at all times, even when using the harness's? Cheers again mate, Dave

with the recaro seats + harnesses in it, are the back seats useable?

bump

not sure if this is the correct section for this but i couldnt find a more appropriate one.. what is the issues involved with installing a bucket seat and a harness (3/4/5/6) point for street driving, do the back seats need to come out or is it as simple as just screwing one in and that being the end of that. any other issues/bla bla bla Cheers, Dave

also there is the issue of not being able to have a valid insurance, sure you can get it, but they don't have to pay, and thats not a gauntlet i'm prepared to run, i also don't think its fair if i hit someone else/elses car...

yer i was considering them, but then petrol prices...just figured a 4 cylinder, even being a turbo would be a better option than a big v8... i'd say the workshop, but it could be considered slander to the business which i don't want to do, and i think is against SAU's policy... =/ i think i've found away around the issue which is to get a harness and racing seat put in, which even though it being an auto i would like to do some track work in the future...

yer it's without turning this thread into another high powered vehicle thread the r33 is over the power to weight ratio unfortunately, your mate may have just been lucky etc..otherwise that was my first choice without a doubt...

i would have loved a s2 turbo skyline, but in Victoria they are illegal to drive on p plates, 180's are just under the power bracket, and with the new laws coming in i don't want to risk being carless and licenceless

Just as a foreword, i have posted this on NS.com but thought that seeing as i post and read on here i would post this up here as the more input/suggestions/idea's/advice the better. thanks. alright here is my desperate situation, i had purchased a sil80 from a importers in melb, as i am a younger guy i got a loan off my parents and as a result was put into the situation that i needed to have an airbag in the car, With my budget of 16k stretched beyond where it should be stretched i went to the importer and found an awesome sil80 which the importer agreed to convert to an auto, and install an airbag, now 3 and a half weeks down the track i'm still carless, and tonight i received a phone call from the owner of the import yard saying he didnt realise there was the computer component of an airbag, as in it wasnt just the steering wheel -__-" and in his words meant that there was going to be "huge problems" as the 180 half of the sil80 is a 1990 model he said that finding the computer for the airbag was going to be impossible as they wherent offered on the 1990 model, i'm not sure what this means, and here is where you guys come in... does it mean: a) he is talking shit, and can easily find one from any other 180( i'm sure i've seen private sellers with like 93' models that isnt type x and is ca18 with air bags) b ) he could find a type x 180 and put the ecu from that into my car (not sure of compatibility issues between type x and normal as i'm not sure if type x's are all sr20's etc) and if he could do that, would that solve the problem c) there is no way to fix this problem and i should look for another car (if so, what car do you suggest given my requirements- auto and has an airbag with 16.5k), preferabley a turbo, otherwise i'd look at a series 2 r33 non turbo...or something along those lines... sorry for this to be so drawn out and sound like i'm whinging, this whole thing about being so close to having my pride and joy, and then getting f**ked over right on the line has just left me thinking what the f**k do i do, so i figured you guys would probably have the best advice. Cheers, Dave

is that a backyard job or what? good quality etc etc?

anyone else got any idea of cost bla bla bla?

that's not too bad actually, the "other windows" how dark are they??

how dark is 35% on a car? like what does it look like? and what can you get the back windshield done to legally? anyone got any prices?? group buy anyone??

Hey guys i need to get my car's window's tinted asap really, i wanna get them done to around 20% i reckon, but has anyone got any pictures of there cars with corresponding tint levels so i can get a better idea? i'm in the eastern subs of melb and would preferrabley like to get 2 cars done at once, does anyone know any good reliable places that will do illegal tints that have competitive prices? thanks everyone Dave

will definately download this movie, keep it seeded if you can that would be awesome:D

Anyone got any idea's?

hey guys, as some of you may know i have purchased a Sil80 and it is my pride and joy, it is currently just having a few things done to it and i will be getting it early janurary hopefully, what i was wondering is regarding insurance, i think i have the choice of about 3 or 4 insurers, Young and Cool, Just Cars, Vigil, and Famous, i have heard good and bad stories about all of these, and this question is not so much related to who i should go with, because i can find that out myself, but i am wondering when they ask what model car it is, do i say a Sil80? or a 180sx? or just an s13? also, should i not mention anything about a BOV or pod filter that is attached to the car? etc etc, thanks for all your help guys. Dave

what was the excess on that hillzy?
