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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
