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 again - this car is semi-withdrawn from sale as i just can't let it go but if your guy wants it and i like him and i think his heart is in the right place then he can have it.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..

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
