History

I purchased this car as an almost dead-stock Silvia in March 2006 from a SilviaNSW.com/NS.com member with 118000kms on the clock. It was previously a SEVS import, not a 15 year-old rule shitbox. I had saved since I was 13 to purchase the car. Since then, I have spent thousands (more than I spent on the purchase price of the car) modifying this car to make it one of the cleanest and best-looking non-turbo examples around. Nearly every cent of my wages went towards this car.

All work was done professionally as well. Nearly all receipts have been kept for parts purchased or work carried out. The paint work was done at RS Performance in Moorebank, the mechanical work was done at Safer Steering in Crows Nest, and the alarm installation done at MetroSound in Artarmon. The only major thing I did myself was the Onevia swap, with the help of SilviaNSW.com member Arkhaeon.

During my ownership, I have treated the car very well. Unfortunately, a month or so ago, the oil filter fell off whilst driving at 60km/h, draining the oil and doing a fair bit of engine damage. This was due to my mechanic thinking that the S14/S15 oil filter was the same as the S13 one! Thus I opted to go for an S14 SR20DE transplant. The S14 SR20DE has more power and the Valve Timing Control function (VTC, NVCS, or VCT depending on who you ask...). There are a few forum members running these non-turbo engines, and one particular member who is running 130rwkW from an S14 SR20DE with fairly minimal mods. As a P-plater car, this would have to be one of the quickest and best-looking options available.

Condition notes

NO accident history. I have thoroughly inspected the car during the Onevia conversion, there are no signs of bent chassis rails or a mangled radiator support, and the panel beaters who did the respray agreed this was one of the cleanest and straightest S13s they had seen.

The respray was only done in July so the paint is still in excellent condition. However, there are a few scratches from road debris and so forth.

Originally I had the car painted with a Vertex rear bar, but I decided that it didn't suit the lines of the Nismo side skirts. So I recently opted to get the factory rear bar repainted. When at the painters, someone knocked it off the rack as the paint was drying, so it has a few drips. However, I didn't have the time to get it repainted. I can organise for the buyer to have it resprayed very cheaply there. The drips are barely noticeable unless you are close.

The new engine was taken from an S14 SR20DE and installed professionally. I've retained the S13 manual gearbox.

I have decided to move away from the modifying scene for a while, and buy a more stock car. So I may be interested in a swap for a non-turbo car.

Contact details

If you are serious about purchasing the vehicle and would like to arrange an inspection, you can contact me (Pete) on 0409 000 056. If I don't answer, send me an SMS as I'm most likely at work. I do not like time-wasters or tyre-kickers.

I am located in Cremorne (Sydney).

Price: $10,500

Lowballers/teenage dreamers will be ignored. Try finding a non-turbo S13 this clean and tastefully modified.

Please note that this picture shows the old Vertex rear bar - car currently has ultra-rare (and sexy) Nismo rear pods. More pictures to come next week.

    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
