Nissan Silvia 5

2009 My 3rd Car:

1990 Nissan Silvia Q; Paid $3500 with a reco CA18 in it with 'apparently' around 189,000 on it (I later believe it to be bullshit)

This was my first taste of owning a rear-wheel drive vehicle, and have never looked back! Great car whilst it lasted!

Shortly after buying it I found it to have regular overheating problems, nothing too drastic, but fairly often they'd occur.

Eventually without intention, I blew the radiator in this one, and cracked the head gasket after driving it too hard, too often.

Later found out that it's a common thing with the Q models (with the CA18DE Engine, apparently doesn't handle well under high revs).

End of my Silvia.
