Hi folks, my S13 is up for sale. I've written everything I know about the car, so please read this before asking questions. I'm located in Sydney - Inner West. PM me or call 0412 509 637 to arrange an inspection.

First up, the car is a re-shell. Don't worry, you wouldn't be able to tell if I hadn't mentioned it, but I think it's important to share the full story:

I crashed a different S13 at the track in April 2010. My trusted mechanic had a straight rolling shell available, so I bought that and he went through the job of transferring everything we could to the new shell.

Some stuff was thrown out, but every single part was inspected, and everything that's on this car is in working order. I've been driving the car around for 18 months without an issue. The car is fully registered, and I also have an engineering certificate for all the mods which I'll provide to the buyer.

So in short, it drives like any other S13 but I wanted to be transparent about it's history while I've owned it. Since I've owned it, it's been serviced every 5000K's, and I have a record of every dollar spent on the car. I also have a detailed record of work carried out by previous owners.

The exterior is in good nick: car has a couple of small dings and scratches in the paint, but is generally very tidy. The bodywork is standard and unmolested – no kits or anything like that.

Interior wise, there's a crack in the dash, and tear in the driver's seat. The stereo install is neat, the electric mirrors, windows, etc all work fine.

It's got a bunch of quality mods (see below), all installed by a professional. There's really not a lot left to do to this car – maybe change the seats to S15 or something aftermarket, change the wheels to something different, and go for it. It's well sorted and ready to just drive!

I'm looking for $9,500, negotiable.

I also have a Momo T wing mounted on a reinforced boot lid (see pic) and a number of spares – standard rear arms, standard radiator, driver's side door, rear and side glass. If you offer a reasonable price, you'll be welcome to all of it.

Sorry for the long ad, but I wanted to share everything I know about the car. Thanks for looking.

Update:

- 4x Brand new Falken ZE-522 tyres fitted

- Minor service completed including oil, oil filter, brake fluid, and brand new Horsepower HDB1170 front pads.

Don't be shy folks, price is negotiable cheers.gif

Price drop: $9,000 negotiable. It's only worth what people will pay, so I've made an estimate based on the quality of this one compared to others for sale. Open to reasonable offers though, so come take a look if you're interested.

Dyno sheet if anyone's interested...

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
