Did you look at the cheapies I sent you?

There were more but I didn't include autos

I had a look but will most likely wait till something mint comes along.

Going to wait for around a year....and if I cant find anything I'll move on. My best bet is for a mint non turbo auto Q's s13 to come up...although even those seem scarce now.

You aren't gonna find something mint in Australia

So you can either waste $15000 and import one

Or just get a car your going to enjoy as long as its not f**ked,

I bought an r32 in dismal condition paid $5000 for it spent countless hours at wreckers and on eBay searching for parts by the time I sold it it was dead stock bar a GReddy exhaust and looked a million bucks got $8000 for it

Iron Chef helped me to import a dead stock 1988 S13 Silvia Ks back in 2007, with genuine 70,000km on the clock. It was a very rare find. I still have the car today.

You wouldn't be interested in selling it would you? =)

And good to hear Iron Chef has a good reputation around the forum.

definately a good find mate, plum examples are hard to get. the180SX Type x, Autech S15 and Variettas command a top pricetag nowadays.

kristian, did nissan ever make a limited number of sileightys from factory or is this an urban myth?

Sileighties were officially sold through Nissan dealerships and had 'Sileighty' written where the 180SX stickers normally went on a kouki Type X. They were built at Autech though, a bit like Holden getting cars modded by HSV but still sold through Holden dealers. There were bugger all made, and original factory ones fetch stupid money (like $30K plus).

I was saying he should respond with HE is stupid, not they are lol - I used to teach my students to say "watashi wa baka desu" to Japanese visitors, always good for a laugh. Anything with "chin chin tama" in it always gets a reaction too ;)

if he was answering a direct question it would be "yes, you are an idiot!" in that case "anata".

hows about approaching a sumo wrestler and saying "chin chin chisai!" that will be well received.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
