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.

    • From my memory, which isn't that great, we did have issues getting the large throttle body on my old LS1 to play nicely at idle, first it would stall, then it would only idle at 2k rpm, then it would hang at 2k rpm for a few seconds and then drop and stall, then, finally, the best we got was it would hang at 1.5k rpm for a few seconds then drop to around 800 rpm The tuner stated that large cable throttle bodies are a PITA, and if I wanted anything better than what we ended up with I would need a electronic throttle body and all of the aftermarket ECU stuff to run it
    • So, my intake arrived  I'm not happy with the coating finish so I went to Supercheap and got some black wrinkle paint and some prep stuff I was initially thinking about using grey wrinkle paint, but finding a quality product that gives the texture I want was "unfindable...", so the tried and tested black wrinkle paint is again finding its way into the engine bay for the OEM look I'll sneakily head into work and get the big ovens cranking to cure the paint over the next week or so I've also contacted MX5 Mania today to talk about the install and tune, so painting it is my "main effort" prior to sending the car off In other news, the correspondence from the US supplier is fair to midling to say the least, I'm still trying to track down the intake box thingie with the larger intake pipe to suit the throttle body, it still is "awaiting fulfilment" (no stock currently available), if it isn't here soon I'll just get MX5 Mania to fabricate up a CAI that is easy to service the air filter  
    • Thanks mate. I thought it would be that way.
