gerald79 - unless its had an engine transplant to a shittier engine, its not a 1993. Can you please update your thread to have the correct details.

It has been check by importers that it is a nissan silvia 1993, the engine was there as this is not the first nissan silvia S13 to have this engine in OZ. They come in different series as well. I also just got a imported book about this issue and it has stated in the book that they do have nissan silvia S13 with this type of engine in them when they will made.

Not trying to be rude but it is not a wrong year and anyone who wants to buy it can also have it check by an importer.

My mate is the one selling his car and i find that it is very cruel to say that the car suxs and all that. If you are interested than reply if not leave yr comments to yrself. You wouldnt want someone to say the same thing that you said when you are selling yr car out right. We are all mature ppl so i hope that we all could understand how my mate feel.

It isnt his fault that it was imported in this way as there are a lot of other nissan silvia S13 with that same engine and it is also not a wrong year. They even have a japanese imported book that carify this issue. It is stated that they are also other series of NIssan Silvia S13.

Tks for understanding and if you want the name of the japanese book ragthering this issue, feel free to PM me and i would give you the title so you would be able to know more about it as i just got to know more about it since my mate wanted to sell his car.

Cheers...

Hi Gerald,

I think you may have misconstrued what Dave is trying to say.

He, in no way was saying the car sux, only that if it was a 93 silvia it should have a sr20 engine. From my understanding post 91/92 silvias have sr20's and all others have ca18's, which appears to be the engine in this silvia.

So Gerald you are right to say that there are other silvia's that have this engine.

IMO it is well priced.

Cheers.

i wasnt saying dave. i was just trying to tell others not to throw comments on it. Sorry for the misunderstanding. In the japanese import book they do state that in 1993 there are still cars with the ca18's engine.

Anyway the car has been sold.

cheers...

shanet - i will close this thread now.... but becuase the compliance plate says its a 1993 doesnt mean jack.. i have seen skylines with NIZMO R33 on their plates... its just what the compliance company originally registered for complaince as.... I suggest you get the VIN code checked to be 100% sure.

    • Interesting.  Great info. thank you.  Give a few days to get that name plate.  I have a busy life most weeks.  I will be in touch.
    • Strange your posting about this being an issue. Move the harness or change your wheels or run more camber etc. Have the thing not touch the thing so it doesn't destroy the thing.  Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer, the factory fuel gauge is measuring resistance. You need to wire in the FPG fuel level sender into the original factory fuel level sender wiring.  I drew you a picture to explain this one The factory strainer is quite long, reaching down into the bottom of the tank. Safe bet your aftermarket fuel pump has a little baby sized strainer that probably doesn't even point down towards the bottom of the thank.  Solution, move the pump lower down in the tank, or fit a longer strainer, or do both. I did both, I've run my tank down to 5L remaining and the car still drove fine.   
    • S2/3 GT-R is the same as S2 GTS-t The SRS airbags module in under the centre console. The S1/S1.5 GTS-t and S1 GT-R had the module built into the steering wheel. FWIW, I have a S3 GT-R wheel in my S2 GTS-t shit box. Same airbag plug, airbag light goes on then off, meaning all systems are go. S3 GT-R has red stitching, that's about it.
    • Dumb question, but why would it matter if the wheel came off a car with hicas or not?
    • Hey to anyone that reads this, long time lurker first time posting, sorry if it’s been answered before but I’ve been looking for nearly a year now for answers. ive got a 25det neo in an r32 that works awesome when it works (made 500whp on 21psi) but works 45% of the time, 1st issue there’s a harness that runs under the passengers side front fender that my tire keeps rubbing through and one wire seems to power the fuel pump even though I’ve done the relay “mod” some people like to call it, and when it does rub through it kills the car, yes next time I’m with the car I want to take the fender off and try tuck the harness well out of the way but I’d also like to try and by pass this mysterious wire as well lol, also wouldn’t mind getting power from the alternator as I’ve read it supplies the pump with 13v ? But no idea where to run the power wire too. 2nd issue, when replacing my fuel pump and fuel hanger I managed to break the factory fuel level sender leaving me with no fuel gauge, I’d like to buy the fpg fuel level sender for r32/s13 but the plug it comes with confuses me, I’ve got a detschwerks x1 fuel hanger which has light + pump - level + pump + and a ground, I’m no auto sparky but I’m wondering if I can cut the plug off the fuel level sender and wire the negative to the pump negative and wire the positive to the level positive to get a fuel gauge back ?🥴 3rd and final issue, the reason I want a fuel gauge is because whenever it’s below half a tank, it fuel starves like crazy and runs like a bag of shit even without doing a pull or sloshing the fuel round in the tank, I’d also like to fix this but have no idea what’s causing it, I’ve got a dw420 and a dead head fuel setup meaning the fuel is regulated before it gets to the engine, my only theory is that the return line is to close to the pickup on the pump and when it’s at half a tank the return line is causing the pump to cavitate enough to cause fuel pressure issues, that or the pump isn’t low enough in the tank which I would find strange considering I can’t find a single thing online about it, also if ya wondering how I figured out it happens at half a tank without a fuel gauge, I waited until it started happening and went and filled up and the car took exactly 30 litres every time I tested it, if ya managed to read through this mess I appreciate that and any recommendations , cheers
