hey guys,

i've got a mate who's got a 91 model s13 ca18de, auto. its all stock, clean paint, green in colour, 6mths rego plus 2 amps and sub and deck, and also stock rims (currently has black 6 spokes, not sure of kind etc) and rear wing (wing not currently on car). Its just had the water pump replaced and the valves are getting replaced (he was told by his mechanic they were bent). Only other problem is the odometer doesn't seem to work apparently (says 108,000 but he thinks there's about 120,000 on it)

He's after 6 for it. Do you reckon that is reasonable? sorry i dnt have any pics at the moment but i am tryin to get some.

Hard to say...

I sold my 1990 ca18de 18" rims, stereo, sub, exhaust etc etc for 2.5k earlier this yr. Altho mine was in need of a respray ;)

yeah the paint is pretty clean on it so i dunno how much of a difference that'll make

I sold my CA18DE with kit, wheels, stereo, exhaust, nismo suspension, immaculate inside and out for 7k around 6 mths ago...but mine was manual. An auto will obviously fetch less and being close to stock I'd say 5k if you're lucky.

that green is also not the most loved colour.

if he wants it sold, he'd be looking at the type of person looking for a cheap body to do an engine conversion in to.

$3K - $4K would be reasonable.

SR20det and manual box fitted would be about $5K minimum.

you can get an average condition sr20det manual S13 for about $10K - $12K

RB conversion ones are even cheaper.

how much would an RB conversion be do you reckon? would it be cheaper to maybe do an RB20DE or RB25DE?

rb20de and rb25de are great engines when used as door stops.

RB20det conversion for someone who takes an auto ca18 silvia to a workshop to drive out with an RB20det and manual would need to bring about $5K with them I'd say.

check NS.com for others that have done a conversion.

it would be a lot cheapr if you had the equipment to do it yourself.

half the cost is labour really.

Having said that, I almost bought a black S13 with RB20 conversion for $10K.

it also had, exhaust, fmic, gtr injectors, rb25 turbo, remaped ecu, aftermarket radiator and large thermo fan, 5 stud conversion, R32 GTR wheels, R32 GTST brakes front and rear, R33 GTR seats, Tein coilovers, 17x9 mags which looked decent with lots of rubber, aftermarket clutch and flywheel etc etc..

basically, it was a registered, legit rb20 converted S13 with great list of mods for an asking price of $4K more than what your mate is thinking for his car.

get me?

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
