Hi and thanks for looking at this advert for my Nissan S13. Wasn't planning on selling her but I moved house and now walk to the train station, so the car very rarely gets used. Therefore I thought I'd see if anyone wanted her. The owner before the last was an older lady who kept getting Nissan extended warranties for it. I've got a thick folder full of history on the car. The car was originally an auto and was only changed to a manual a few years ago. Safe to say it's had a very easy life. The mileage on the chassis is 150k. The engine as you'll see below is fresh. Quick specs of the car are as follows.
I can't stress how clean this car is. It is an Executive model, so has the sunroof, factory leather seats which are in fantastic condition, factory LSD which is showing its age and isn't very tight, and came with aircon. The aircon was broken but I have a full working system that can go with the car that I haven't got around to installing yet.
Once all the mods were fitted, I got the car aligned at Garage D, who commented on how clean the car is. There isn't a spec of rust anywhere. That's right, a UK spec S13 with no rust! A few months later the headgasket went on the engine, so I stuck a freshly rebuilt one in. I ran the engine on mineral oil for 800 miles and then changed it out for some high quality semi synthetic. The engine runs very nicely. All I would say is the idle wants a bit of tweaking as sometimes it hunts/labours a bit. I've recently changed the ECU temp sensor as this was reporting as faulty on the ECU. The car gets to temp quick and stays there thanks to a new thermostat.
See below for some pictures before/after the mods.
(Brakes are rusty from the car sitting, obviously not rusty anymore)
From the pictures you'll see this is a well sorted car. The spec is really nice for a road car. There's no polybushes or rosejoints, it's a road car and I didn't want knocking, creaking or banging. As for the damage, it's the rear quarter and the front wing. I was quoted £400 to sort the rear quarter by a bodyshop recommended to me by a member on here. The rest of the car is miraculously clean as the pictures will show.
Price wise, I've no idea what it's worth. Honestly know idea. I know what it owes me and it starts with a 7. Because you need to put a price on these things, let's say £7000 and I welcome and offers. Worst I can say is no. It's not getting used and it's not the kind of car I want just sitting there. I'd possibly entertain a PX depending on what it is. I'm looking at getting a truck or a van for other requirements.
Thanks for reading,
Chris.
