Item:

Nissan Silvia 1992 RB20DET

Location:

Gold Coast

Item Condition:

Nearly complete.

Reason for Selling:

Was looking to turn it into a track car and get into legal drifting, but I've found I have bitten off more than I could chew taking on this project. Would end up needing to get a trailer & a car that could tow it. Decided that I may try this again in a few years when I can afford to manage such a project. Am starting a new job & decided I want to get something newer. I also went to court earlier this month for drifting related offences and got off with a warning very luckily & decided I might take the judge's advice and stay out of trouble.

Price and Payment Conditions:

Looking for about $14,000 (reasonably negotiable for a serious buyer). Obviously selling UNREGISTERED & with NO RWC. However, am very interested in swaps, cash your way mostly. Looking to upgrade to something like a VT/VU/VX/VY SS or SV8, BA XR6T or XR8 with cash your way, however I am also interested in a swap for a Toyota Aristo (only the 2JZGTE version), an S15 or an R34 GT-T(but I doubt anyone with one of these cars would be willing to downgrade to an S13 lol). However throw an offer my way and I'll think about it.

From a quick count there I calculated $15,898.17 in modifications, and some of the parts I haven't priced. This is without labour, tuning, etc. So for 14k, you are getting a stock RB20DET S13, with $16k spent on it.

Car made 321.2RWHP on 18PSI, is currently running 15PSI. Car is capable of more power too. It is a quick car, I owned a cleanly modded R33 before this without about 190-200rwkw, and this made the 33 seem like a barge. It comes on boost at about 4-4,200rpm, and REALLY comes on hard, spins those 18s in the dry through 1st, 2nd & 3rd. On the highway in the wet I was approaching boost in 5th and it started spinning.

Future mods I had planned were to drop a forged RB20 in it with an RB25 gearbox and aim for about 400rwhp, but after my court appearance, I decided I should take the judge's advice and get something that won't get me in as much trouble lol.

Extra Info: Ok, basically what needs to complete it:

- Has no headlights or indicators, I was planning on converting the front of the car to S14a, so have already sold the headlights & indicators.

- Has a cracked windscreen, would need a replacement.

- Has no exhaust attached from the cat-back, however have the exhaust to go with the car.

- Has no driver's seat (am going to purchase a Bride seat but within the next few weeks possibly), have the passenger seat & back seats to go with sale. Sold the driver's seat unfortunately lol. Also have all the seat belts too.

- Needs a little bit of wiring work currently with gauges, will probably have this fixed anyway.

- Probably would be a good idea to upgrade the suspension to coilovers.

- Needs a new battery, but will probably replace this also.

- Have the original dash with holes cut for gauges & the speedo.

All in all, the car was a pig when I got it, and it is even more of a pig now. It could be returned to road worthy status, would need to purchase the interior again (and air-conditioning I think??). Screamer pipe & BOV would need to be dealt with, obviously the exhaust as well. However I think it would be best suited as a track weapon, as that is what I was setting it up for.

Daily

I also have my daily S13 (SR20DE/Auto) (you can see the badboy in the background there lol), that I can include in the sale as obviously I couldn't afford to always drive this thing around all the time as it is pretty thirsty. With rego + rwc, has about 80,000km on the engine & gearbox, a pioneer headunit, kenwood 6x9s & a mongoose alarm/immobiliser, would be looking for about $3,500. Or have both cars for $17,500.

Pictures:

Ok, at the moment the car is at my old house so I only have one picture at the moment, but this is the basic shape, however it is now completely matte black (very dodge spray can job) with all the interior lime green.

      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!

      Oem radio & steering wheel shroud for r33 (vic)

      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

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.
