nice buy mate! :)

but seriously, those lights need to die in a fire. as for wheels, meh, so what if everyone has doriteks, they look decent and they fit, so why not? and damo has a set for sale for fair cheap, so it might be worth looking into.

1998 is probably compliance date

nope, engine capacity - 1998cc is 2L

sorry if it's been pointed out.. cbf reading whole thread :)

buy these, much more sexier than doriteks ;)http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...p;#entry4573927

every second person that gets a new sr s13/180sx thinks the build date is 1998 over on ns.com :P

I guess I fit into that noob section :)

Just checked, it is 1998CC (stupid me) and was made 1995/07. I never really looked too closely at the plate and it was the previous owner who pointed it out to me and said it was the build date.

Rims are still a while off, hardly have enough money to pay for stamp duty OR insurance!

First will probably be side window visors, head unit, Type X spoiler, and either tint current lights or get Type X lights. Not in any particular order.

I just need to wait for my bank account to build back up again.

PS: I love my car.

Hey Nathan, I got it sorted, what I thought was the year was just the engine capacity. I was told it was the year but didn't look close enough. I did FAST it and that matches the 95/07 build date I found.

Damo I just like the looks of them. Not sure how/if it'll effect driving or vision, but I love the looks of them, as long as they're the proper ones (and not just the simple fold over type).

Not like you can see much, but I know there are some dodgy ones, I like this kind:

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
