Hi Silviansw...its been a while.

Ok the story is this. My car was in the process of being sold, but the buyer backed out and after a long drawn out process, the car is back at my place. I need to get rid of it once and for all, I need the money elsewhere at this point in my life. So Im prepared to take a huge loss.

Many of you know the car. Heres a bit of info for those who dont.

Its a 92 S13 Silvia Q's, im the first Australian owner and bought it in 2001 with 72,000km. It was a Gunmetal Grey SR20DE Auto, stock. Was $11,000

Now it is metallic black resprayed, SR20DET 5-speed conversion, engine has been in for less than 10,000km and the dash chassis now has about 100,000km on it. It runs out of rego in a week (7th Jan), and hasnt been driven in 2 months.

Problem is this...electronic plug-ins like guages and boost controllers are wired incorrectly and consequently draw the battery charge flat. Its most likely a small issue for an auto electrician or anyone who knows what they are doing. The water pump also seems to need replacing. Other than that the car runs really well and has strong power. Last time I checked the compression it was almost even @ 140ish psi across all cylinders.

As it stands you can jumpstart the car or charge the battery and it will run. But you need to drive it every single day to keep the battery charged. I just dont have the time or energy to fix this myself anymore.

Included modifications...most if not all of these things are less than 10,000km old...Ill probably forget everything..

-Trust front mount intercooler kit
-Garrett GT28R turbo
-SS autochrome manifold
-trust stainless cat back
-trust type-S blow off valve plumbed back
-Apex'i pod filter
-mild steel front/ dump pipe
-just jap cat
-Koyo 53mm alloy radiator, samco sport silicon hoses
-2x 9" thermo fans
-Alloy radiator overflow tank
-Alloy catch can
-Blitz SBC id 3 boost controller...currently @13 psi
-Defi link BF guages...boost, oil pressure, water...controller
-Nardi deep corn wheel
-Bride Ergo II seats
-Tein Flex coilovers
-Tein EDFC controller
-5- Stud conversion using japanese aftermarket hubs
-Cusco rear camber links, kazama front caster rods...cant reamember the rest of it
-Cusco sway bars
-S15-spec calipers and DBA slotted rotors
-Maltech EDR legal braided lines, project Mu pads
-17x8.5, 7.5" Gold Advan RG wheels
-Bridgestone Potenza GIII tyres..probably on the better side of 50% tread
-Nismo front bumper
-G Corp clear headlights...nice rice arguably first set in australia :-)
-Nismo side skirts (unpainted, unfitted)
-Wise sports aero kit (worth over $2000, slightly damaged, unpainted, unfitted)

I cant remember the rest...over $30,000 spent in mods alone

I love this car and it goes really nicely, but the time has come where i am beginning to neglect it and I cant maintain it as it should be. I cant afford it at the moment. I think it made 142rwkw @ 8psi right after the conversion with only a few mods. Its a great car that just needs a bit of TLC.

Starting at $9,000 but open to offers.

Thanks guys
Regards,
Harry

Thats an absolute bargain Harry. Whoever buys this will end up with a Silvia with only top-shelf parts on it. If i had the money available i'd be snapping it up

Is it still the sparkle paint stuff?

Thanks Anthony...sorry I havent kept in touch lately mate.

Yep its still got more than enough ricey stuff on it, the paint is pretty difficult to photograph. Its got a few scratches and dings but its still looking decent.

I'll be sad to see it go but such is life.
