History

I purchased this car as an almost dead-stock Silvia in March 2006 from a SilviaNSW.com/NS.com member with 118000kms on the clock. It was previously a SEVS import, not a 15 year-old rule shitbox. I had saved since I was 13 to purchase the car. Since then, I have spent thousands (more than I spent on the purchase price of the car) modifying this car to make it one of the cleanest and best-looking non-turbo examples around. Nearly every cent of my wages went towards this car.

All work was done professionally as well. Nearly all receipts have been kept for parts purchased or work carried out. The paint work was done at RS Performance in Moorebank, the mechanical work was done at Safer Steering in Crows Nest, and the alarm installation done at MetroSound in Artarmon. The only major thing I did myself was the Onevia swap, with the help of SilviaNSW.com member Arkhaeon.

During my ownership, I have treated the car very well. Unfortunately, a month or so ago, the oil filter fell off whilst driving at 60km/h, draining the oil and doing a fair bit of engine damage. This was due to my mechanic thinking that the S14/S15 oil filter was the same as the S13 one! Thus I opted to go for an S14 SR20DE transplant. The S14 SR20DE has more power and the Valve Timing Control function (VTC, NVCS, or VCT depending on who you ask...). There are a few forum members running these non-turbo engines, and one particular member who is running 130rwkW from an S14 SR20DE with fairly minimal mods. As a P-plater car, this would have to be one of the quickest and best-looking options available.

Condition notes

NO accident history. I have thoroughly inspected the car during the Onevia conversion, there are no signs of bent chassis rails or a mangled radiator support, and the panel beaters who did the respray agreed this was one of the cleanest and straightest S13s they had seen.

The respray was only done in July so the paint is still in excellent condition. However, there are a few scratches from road debris and so forth.

Originally I had the car painted with a Vertex rear bar, but I decided that it didn't suit the lines of the Nismo side skirts. So I recently opted to get the factory rear bar repainted. When at the painters, someone knocked it off the rack as the paint was drying, so it has a few drips. However, I didn't have the time to get it repainted. I can organise for the buyer to have it resprayed very cheaply there. The drips are barely noticeable unless you are close.

The new engine was taken from an S14 SR20DE and installed professionally. I've retained the S13 manual gearbox.

I have decided to move away from the modifying scene for a while, and buy a more stock car. So I may be interested in a swap for a non-turbo car.

Contact details

If you are serious about purchasing the vehicle and would like to arrange an inspection, you can contact me (Pete) on 0409 000 056. If I don't answer, send me an SMS as I'm most likely at work. I do not like time-wasters or tyre-kickers.

I am located in Cremorne (Sydney).

Price: $10,500

Lowballers/teenage dreamers will be ignored. Try finding a non-turbo S13 this clean and tastefully modified.

Please note that this picture shows the old Vertex rear bar - car currently has ultra-rare (and sexy) Nismo rear pods. More pictures to come next week.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
