The only good thing about it as a first car is that it's only a DE....

With all that money spent in it why didn't they give it some tint??

Don't get a loan for a first car, it's highly likely that you will crash it, and if you couldn't afford the full comp you just lost yourself a car, if you did get full comp then you would have a shitload of excess to pay. It's not like you could mod it much either... as most things are already done (apart from turbo, which IMO you shouldn't do till you're off your P's anyway).

If you just want to be 'fUlLy SiK' than go for it...

probably didnt get tint so that people can see inside and see the retrim/dash spray shit.

its over the top but different :( somehow doesnt look too bad all curvey on a silvia, which is an acheivement.,.,

full comp is handy especially on that car, coz ull get some arsehole keying it, or trying to steal the wheels, or some person at uni/shops etc will open the door onto your car and ull be getting shit fixed all the time to keep the paint perfect, and with different pearls in it it'll be expensive full panel spray every time and probably still never match up ;)

best to get a shitty sort of one for now and just use any extra money you may save to buy some coilovers, exhaust, and lsd to begin with and learn to drive it and then step up to a turbo one .

but again that car there would be no fun even as a turbo its more of a 'bring out on weekends and for shows and dont leave it unattended' sort of show car than a real drivers car :P

bit gay to do all that to a non turbo in the first place though ive gotta say .. youd think he wouldve wanted turbo if only for the bov to go 'ptshhh' ;)

yea i'm looking for a Good Sr20de or Sr20Det OR Ca18det

i don't know what to get i think the Sr20 De wood b the best bet

I'm thinking of Going Auto cause I on L's and Auto is way easyer and i don't want to crash it and i'm Lest likey to crash a Auto

i only want it for like 1 year till i get good on the Road

MANUAL OR AUTO S13 SR20 something PM me

It has to not b trashed

Heh heh.

That thing is disgusintg.. makes me wanna puke.. sorry.

If you're getting an auto get a shitbox to learn to drive. Don't bother getting cars that aren't meant for auto cos you're only spending the extra money for no reason.

Almost everyone dings their first car so just get a crappy gemini or corolla and it will cost you little and get you from a - b .. if you stack it into a pole in the car park you won't cry. Then save up to get a better car.

My 2c.

i was thinking a Crapy Silvia i am going to get a Skyline in next 2 years if i play my Cards right i thought learning on a import wood b good and it helps me get a no claim with Just cars i want non turbo cause i don't think i can deal with a turbo seeing i Go too fast in mums 4L V6 lol

I think its arguably the most disgusting Silvia I have ever seen. Having said that, you obviously like the looks, and that's what matters.

As a first car though, I think its a mistake. Its obviously an attention getter, and is just asking for someone to either steal it, break into it, key it, or otherwise damage it. You will need comprehensive insurance, and I would think it might be difficult to insure with all the custom work.

LW.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
