how much you looking at spending?

I just purchased one around month and 1/2 ago.

be prepared to spend a bit, and have cashed stored away for any problems you may have.

you will be looking at paying between $11K and $30K for one

its worth it though as in stock form they blow away pretty much anything

paid $12.5K for mine which is good for what i got, but it did have a few dints etc which ill need to get fixed, the sump is bashed up (suspect from when engine was imported) suspension is a little tired ie i am replaceing all bushes in the rear + a few control arms. just replacing the water pump and timing belt on it as we speak.

Im not saying the guy i bought it off is dodgy its what you get with a car of that age that hasn't had huge $$$ spent on it.

what i am trying to say is check it out thoroughly, i really couldn't check mine out as it was in another state, but i would still have bought it anyway its a good car.

There is heaps of magazines with RB S13s in them typical cost for conversions range from about $6k-$12K, thats pretty much stock conversions with RB20/25 to RB26s

have you checked nissansilvia.com for any think there is a few on there inc a $30K+ RB25DETT S13 which is immac

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
