1989 Nissan S13 Widebody Silvia I purchased it in early 2008 with every intention to race it in Time Attack, Track Attack, and motorkhanas. Unfortunately, after having reached a stage where it is now ready for the race track, I come to a crossroads in my life where selling this machine is the right thing to do. I've done less than 5,000km in it during my ownership (My daily's done 50,000km in the same time instead). The Silvia's been on stands for probably 9 of the last 18 months, having various little things done to it in-between me working full-time shift work. Below are some details on the car. It's been driven twice in the last 2 months, and before then I was away for 6 weeks in Europe. It'd be nice to see it bought by someone who'll drive and appreciate it.

Body: Approximately 110,000km on the chassis, all straight and no accidents.

45mm D-Max front and rear guards. The rear guards and sideskirts have been bolted on using stainless steel allen bolts to make removal easy (when I had intentions to race it, bog would've been a pain in the arse). Race-grade foam is under the guard edges to stop moisture and grit getting under it. Standard guards under the widebody have been modified for provision of bigger offsetted wheels and professionally welded (no pop-rivetting here!)

Bodykit is a full genuine Japanese Supermade Instant Gentleman aero kit, including boot spoiler. GTR-style grille.

Paint is Lexus Tiger-Eye Mica.

Dual-square headlights, with Kaixen low-beam HIDs (June, 2009).

Crystal tail lights, and all bulbs replaced with LED bulbs (June, 2009).

Powertrain: Stock RB25-DET from an R33 Skyline GTS-T. Approximately 100,000km on the engine now (originally 90,000km before going into the Silvia). Smooth, never boosted, blows no smoke. KTS solid engine mounts. Has had three oil changes while I've owned it, Motul 8100 Xcess with genuine Nissan oil filters (last oil change July, 2009). Replaced original sump plug with a magnetic sump plug. R32 radiator (flushed recently, has never ever overheated). ARC sidemount intercooler. Pod filter. Splitfire coilpacks replaced less than 2year ago. Mod-plated.

R33 GTS-T 5sp manual gearbox, pulled from the same car as the engine. Nice solid shift, and one of the toughest boxes Nissan made. KTS gearbox mount. Motul gearbox oil, changed in September, 2009. Mod-plated.

Clutch is an NPC heavy-duty organic item. Just bedded in, very bitey and would be able to handle a lot more power if the boost was wound up on the motor. Machined flywheel. Rebuilt clutch master cylinder October, 2008. Receipts for clutch work September, 2009.

Nismo 2-way LSD. Locks up well but is much more forgiving than many lesser LSDs. Perfect for a daily driver and a circuit car. Connected to the box via a custom tail shaft. Mod-plated.

Brakes: R33 GTS-T set-up. 5-stud hubs all-round, with 296x30mm front discs and 4pot calipers, and 297x16mm rear discs with single-pot calipers. Braided brake lines. Brake master cylinder flex-stopper. As expected from a car weighing hundreds of kilos less than an R33, it stops very very well. R33 handbrake assembly. Mod-plated.

Suspension: Tein Flex coilovers. Fully height adjustable, front camber tops (12kg springs front, 10kg rear). Rear suspension is complimented by KTS adjustable rear upper camber arms, KTS adjustable toe rods and KTS adjustable traction rods (purchased November, 2008, installed April, 2009). KTS rear strut brace. Tein in-cabin Electronic Damper Force Controller (EDFC). Makes a very noticable difference in ride quality with the fully adjustable dampers. Handling is amazing.

Wheels: Weds Kranze Cerberus, gold face and chrome dish. Fronts are 17x9+25, rears are 17x10+37.

Tyres: Fronts 215/45ZR17 Falken Ziex. Rears 235/45ZR17 Federal SS595.

Electronics: Relocated battery into boot (Federal dry-cell sealed battery, OEM for Mazda MX-5, receipt showing purchase early this year and still with warranty).

Mongoose M80S car alarm. Immobiliser, shock sensor, door sensors and bonnet sensor. Two remotes.

HKS 2-stage boost controller (never used, but the harness is in the cabin and the controller in the engine bay, only needs to be plugged in and played with).

Turbo-timer (with other functions...)

Panasonic 2DIN CD and MiniDisc player. Front splits, rear 6” 2-ways.

Electric mirrors, electric windows, power steering.

Interior: Bride Zeta II racing bucket seats on adjustable rails, mod-plated. Will also sell a pair of brand new Klippan harnesses (one box still never opened, the other opened for inspection).

Nardi steering wheel, Razo 230g gearknob, new leather gaiter, full floor carpet and mats. Still has all interior plastics. Will also sell with the car a D-Max VIP dash table (was removed to accommodate my taller passengers).

Standard S13 cluster with the exception of the R33 GTS-T tachometer. All guages work

7-point Safety21 bolt-in roll cage, all padded and mod-plated.

I think that's everything. The car is a pleasure to drive. It only ever attracts positive attention from other motoring enthusiasts, and in the time I've owned it the police have inspected it once (at Pinelands one Thursday). No trouble in it ever. I think, as a road-registered car that could be driven daily, it will make a fine circuit car. It has the right components to be competitive (fully adjustable suspension, tough gearbox, big brakes, cage, LSD etc) and given the low state of tune on the motor and the copious amount of torque it delivers, it has been reliable and an easy car to drive for the entire time I've owned it. If I already owned my own house with a triple garage I wouldn't sell it. But I don't have either of those things and I have to sacrifice my dreams of racing the car to try and achieve other life-long goals. Will sell with all spares, but not with the personalised plates.

Will be sold with a roadworthy certificate and QLD registration through to May, 2010 (but standard number plates) unless requested otherwise. Will also be sold with assorted parts I've collected since owning it.

Any questions please ask.

nice car, good luck with sale

[Nunga]

No interest at all? Tyres have just been balanced and rotated

[beardcore]

u obviously not interested in swaps?

[Nunga]

Mate I'd really prefer the cash as I have my daily aswell and am trying to get rid of a car. Unless you can stump up with some cash + your Stagea, too (which is very very nice, I've seen it around a few times )

[katurbo]

swap..

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fs...62#entry5005062

or swap my 19s with new tread for ur 17s

[Nunga]

I'll swap my car for your R32 +$18k, and I'll let you keep the R32 with those terrible wheels. Then we have a deal.

[patrickd79]

Fantastic car mate. Hope it goes to a really good home. Has to be the best S13 Ive seen.

[Nunga]

Alright people, the car isn't being driven and I'm going overseas soon, so if you're interested and want to make offers, by all means go ahead.

Will be sold with assorted spare parts, and if you want it really cheap, no rego

[Nunga]

$17,000 for the car and all spares. Am going on holiday in a little over 2 weeks

Well the car is still for sale, has had about $2000 spent on it in the last month, detailed below;

New RDA slotted front rotors, machined rears

New QFM HPX pads front and rear

All new fluids; new oil/filter, cooling system was flushed and all coolant obviously replaced, new DOT4 brake fluid, new Motul diff oil

Newer low-mile turbo and new gaskets

New stainless steel split dump pipe

QLD rego until June, 2011

JIC adjustable front castor rods

New tyres front and rear; SS595 215/45ZR17, and wide SS595 255/40ZR17

Spares are as follows;

17x7.5 R34 GT-T wheels with legal rubber (just!)

Standard turbo and dump pipe, standard front rotors

So, $18,000 is getting you something that is still getting maintained and well-cared for. Please come and see for yourself

[Nunga]

So it's with much dismay I open the door for offers on my car. Sick of seeing it in the garage not getting driven, sick of being offered swaps for iPhones and ride-on lawn mowers. I think the price is very fair but the car market does not.

I can strip some parts from the car to further reduce the price if potential buyers low-ball, and/or sell with no QLD rego. Feel free to PM with any offers or questions.

[Nunga]

Bump for a unique car, not many with the Instant Gentleman kit, plus all the other goodies!

[Nunga]

Just had all vacuum lines replaced and did a compression test on the engine, all cylinders within 6% of each other so happy days. Buyer will be buying something very reliable.

Negotiable on price.

[Nunga]

Negotiable on price! Just serviced, too!
