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...

    • 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 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
