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 again - this car is semi-withdrawn from sale as i just can't let it go but if your guy wants it and i like him and i think his heart is in the right place then he can have it.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

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
