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.

    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
