gerald79 - unless its had an engine transplant to a shittier engine, its not a 1993. Can you please update your thread to have the correct details.

It has been check by importers that it is a nissan silvia 1993, the engine was there as this is not the first nissan silvia S13 to have this engine in OZ. They come in different series as well. I also just got a imported book about this issue and it has stated in the book that they do have nissan silvia S13 with this type of engine in them when they will made.

Not trying to be rude but it is not a wrong year and anyone who wants to buy it can also have it check by an importer.

My mate is the one selling his car and i find that it is very cruel to say that the car suxs and all that. If you are interested than reply if not leave yr comments to yrself. You wouldnt want someone to say the same thing that you said when you are selling yr car out right. We are all mature ppl so i hope that we all could understand how my mate feel.

It isnt his fault that it was imported in this way as there are a lot of other nissan silvia S13 with that same engine and it is also not a wrong year. They even have a japanese imported book that carify this issue. It is stated that they are also other series of NIssan Silvia S13.

Tks for understanding and if you want the name of the japanese book ragthering this issue, feel free to PM me and i would give you the title so you would be able to know more about it as i just got to know more about it since my mate wanted to sell his car.

Cheers...

Hi Gerald,

I think you may have misconstrued what Dave is trying to say.

He, in no way was saying the car sux, only that if it was a 93 silvia it should have a sr20 engine. From my understanding post 91/92 silvias have sr20's and all others have ca18's, which appears to be the engine in this silvia.

So Gerald you are right to say that there are other silvia's that have this engine.

IMO it is well priced.

Cheers.

i wasnt saying dave. i was just trying to tell others not to throw comments on it. Sorry for the misunderstanding. In the japanese import book they do state that in 1993 there are still cars with the ca18's engine.

Anyway the car has been sold.

cheers...

shanet - i will close this thread now.... but becuase the compliance plate says its a 1993 doesnt mean jack.. i have seen skylines with NIZMO R33 on their plates... its just what the compliance company originally registered for complaince as.... I suggest you get the VIN code checked to be 100% sure.

      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

      @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
