Iron Chef,

What are the chances of finding an absolute mint condition 1991 + two tone champagne gold/grey nissan Silvia s13 K's in Japan?

One in the same if not better condition than mine before the accident

Mine was non-accident and perfectly straight, and log books etc.

Would it be impossible almost?

As a side note:

I would effing love to see an s15 in the paint scheme posted above..

Instant gentleman kit, with the white n champagne two tone...

Oldschool 80s throwback vibe, 4 stud conversion with 15 inch work/ ssr rims...

God I'd love to see that..!!

lol the thread title had me worried there for a second...

They do exist, but they fall well into the realm of collectible classics these days, so you'd need to have very deep pockets to beat anyone local in Japan. Almost certainly more than it would cost to get one here. Look around for something tidy in Oz would be your best bet.

Rowan, your idea reminded me of this car...

So basically when I crashed my car.....I destroyed a collectible classic?

As bad I was already feeling...I now feel about 100 x more bad. Wow.....=(.

Omg shut up la bomba..!!

Go fix it if you care so much.

Kristian - wow that's exactly what I was talking about!!!!

It seems you can acquire a mint one from Japan for 10-15k. Not a bad price.

What are the differences between the 180sx type x and the s13 silvia? I heard the s13 silvia has a much stiffer rear end and thats about it?

Think $15K, not $10K ;)

If you're not trolling, probably best you Google the differences between the two ;)

I'm not trolling Chef, I'm using this account to try and sort out the accident and what I will do for a car for the future etc.

I just googled the differences. People are saying the rear parcel shelf and boof makes the rear end of the Silvia stiffer? However this seems like BS. Other websites are saying theres no differences (aside from aesthetics obviously).

I think for the moment, the best thing to I can do will just be to hop on the public transport until I get my full licence and I'll save up money in the meantime. I will definately be in contact with you to import a car Iron Chef...not now but once I talk to my mechanic to see what he thinks about the car I should buy and once I get the money.

The main thing I want when buying will be everything to be straight, no accidents etc. Wouldnt care if the car had a blown engine as long as the chassis was perfectly straight and in factory condition.

I'm turned off the s15 because it looks too mean and would probably feel too "new and advanced". I prefer "basic and raw" like the S13 Silvia.

At the moment I have $5000 saved up. I work part time as a Cadet Quantity Surveyor 2 days a week so I'm on $240 a week which means I'll have approx $15,000 saved by October.

Before you just decide to buy any car go test drive a few

Just assuming the s15 will feel too new is a stupid reason to avoid buying one

Yeah, good point actually.

In that case I'll have to wait till I can get my full licence in October so I can test drive some turbo vechiles.

I've always liked the Mazda Rx-7 FD3S but the fuel consumption is apparently astronomical...so I couldn't afford to run, let alone maintain one.

I like the lighter FR cars which pretty much limits me to S13 and S15 now that the rx7 has been ruled out as well as the S14 (Body looks too rounded for my liking, it reminds me of a capsule),

News flash:

Turbos are gay.

The novelty wears off after a while. I don't have one of those PSSSSHHHFFFFTTTTT blow off valves on my car.

Infact I had an apexi pod filter, but I took even THAT off because it made the factory bov a bit loud, I hate the idea that someone could one day see my car n think "his car sounds a bit like that wrx we saw with the driver that has his hat on backwards"

Turbos are gay.

My advice would be to get a cheap little civic to learn how to drive before you jump into a turbo FR. Seeing how you manage to write off your NA s13...

And with your pay, i'm not sure how you can afford to maintain any turbo cars tbh...

While I love S14's series 2's only

The price people want for these your better off with an s15

I paid $11900 for my s14 another $4k and I could have got an s15

But to be honest idtrade my s15 for a decent s14 I love the look of them with the stock side skirts and front bar and the JDM wing

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
