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 dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
