Not many yards are gonna hold older imports these days.

Autoworx in Wangara used to bring in a small handful of cars, not sure about these days after moving location.

Fabcar is another option, but as I said don't really have older imports.

For an S13/4, Perth based forums like silviawa and driftwa are going to be your best options.

yeah he's looking through carsales at the moment

At the moment in our circle of friends we have a stag, an r33, a hachi and an s2k, he's feeling a bit left out in an EG civic :P

Do imports101 have a yard in Perth?

tell your friend to look at my cefiro.

let me know what he thinks

bear in mind - it may no longer be for sale but if he's interested then have a chat to me and if i like him then we'll take it from there.

clicky click

ps - eff word car yards.. esp for an S13 or 180sx i would not trust an old car coming from a dealer. (thats my opinion)

EDIT: the pics in that ad of my cefiro are alightly different to now - last weekend i got one of those super rare chrome grills that everyone faps over. and i just bought gen. nissan super slimline weathershields. again - this car is semi-withdrawn from sale as i just can't let it go but if your guy wants it and i like him and i think his heart is in the right place then he can have it.

don't be deterred bythe RB20. this is the most responsive, ballsy RB i've ever driven.

but if he IS dead set on S13 chassis, please make sure he gets a late model one, there's no point buying an OLD trim of an OLD model... get me?

if that cefiro is out of his budget then we also have a GGS Z30 Soarer TT for sale which is so blisteringly fast we had to install ceramic coating on the front of the car to stop the atmosphere from crapping itself. which is for sale.

Edited by Mr Eps

thanks eps, I think he wants an sr20 but Im an rb fan so I could talk him into it. Hot Cefiro, but it'd need to be a manual I think.

Just trying to plan the weekend heavily so he can look at lots of stuff

just sayin - RB20DE+T will CANE an SR.

seriously - you have no idea how hard this thing hammers :)

and - the autobox is absolutely awesome...

as i said i really dont care if he's not interested. i really do still love this car :) but if he's interested i'll be happy to negotiate! manual gearbox is always doable. and an easy swap.

but yeah - all advice i have is - don't write off the RB until he's driven mine...

..and don't write off autos until he's driven mine. ;)

the setup is REALLY good on it!

+11TY For Distinctive Imports. Dunno if he will have anything that old, but go chat to Regan anyway. He may be able to hook you up with a trade in or something.

There are no decent car yards in Perth. Fabcar is where I bought two stageas and got fully ripped off at the time. Although they dont bring anything in below grade 4.5. Regan is a good bloke, but I doubt he will deal with any silvia / 180sx. They usually stock clean V35, GTTs, elgrand, delicas, civics etc. And will not trade anything that is highly modified. I tried with my GTiR and nearly bought Jnr's stagea a while back, but I turned it down. I also have not seen a clean silvia at a yard in quite some time unless it was a S15 or varietta.

Danny, a broker at Imports 101 is where I imported my s13 (one of the first in Perth) and a RA GTiR. Importing is the way to go if you want something specific and dont mind waiting. Friendly, informative and decent after sales service, i highly recommend. Personally I would buy private because it is a buyer's market atm and silvias are dirt cheap anyways. Also consider buying interstate for the best prices. Either freight or drive back.

^^^absolutely correct

i agree with DCI being my personal pick as far as dealers go... as well as imports101

BUT

silvias are a VERY old car now. no way in HELL would i be buying from a dealer.

(reason being - the km are most definitely wound back, they buy cheap gnarly shit from auctions, and inflate the price to match private sales of honestly good cars!

either way - private sales are the place to go for such old cars..

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
