Did you look at the cheapies I sent you?

There were more but I didn't include autos

I had a look but will most likely wait till something mint comes along.

Going to wait for around a year....and if I cant find anything I'll move on. My best bet is for a mint non turbo auto Q's s13 to come up...although even those seem scarce now.

You aren't gonna find something mint in Australia

So you can either waste $15000 and import one

Or just get a car your going to enjoy as long as its not f**ked,

I bought an r32 in dismal condition paid $5000 for it spent countless hours at wreckers and on eBay searching for parts by the time I sold it it was dead stock bar a GReddy exhaust and looked a million bucks got $8000 for it

Iron Chef helped me to import a dead stock 1988 S13 Silvia Ks back in 2007, with genuine 70,000km on the clock. It was a very rare find. I still have the car today.

You wouldn't be interested in selling it would you? =)

And good to hear Iron Chef has a good reputation around the forum.

definately a good find mate, plum examples are hard to get. the180SX Type x, Autech S15 and Variettas command a top pricetag nowadays.

kristian, did nissan ever make a limited number of sileightys from factory or is this an urban myth?

Sileighties were officially sold through Nissan dealerships and had 'Sileighty' written where the 180SX stickers normally went on a kouki Type X. They were built at Autech though, a bit like Holden getting cars modded by HSV but still sold through Holden dealers. There were bugger all made, and original factory ones fetch stupid money (like $30K plus).

I was saying he should respond with HE is stupid, not they are lol - I used to teach my students to say "watashi wa baka desu" to Japanese visitors, always good for a laugh. Anything with "chin chin tama" in it always gets a reaction too ;)

if he was answering a direct question it would be "yes, you are an idiot!" in that case "anata".

hows about approaching a sumo wrestler and saying "chin chin chisai!" that will be well received.

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
