PS13 SR20DET Silvia

My black PS13. Imported, MOT'd and registered by me last summer.

Originally a Q's non-turbo automatic, it received a thorough de-gaying operation in Japan and got a proper SR20DET with a manual 'box before being auctioned.

Interesting spec:

JIC Magic coilovers
Nismo 2-way LSD (it's deffo a clutch-type 2-way LSD, only proof of Nismo is the auction sheet).
Full stainless Nismo exhaust with de-cat
Good clutch, unknown make but strong as you like.
Rota 17x7.5 and 17x8.5 D1 wheels with half-worn Goodyear Eagles
HI-CAS was removed after a drifting incident, so it's got a UK-spec rear subframe. No weird wobbling now.
EBC red-stuff pads all round.
HKS intake.

Yawn spec:
Leccy mirrors
Working climate control (woo! air-con!)
Nardi wheel
Razo carbon knob
No stereo (listen to the booooooooost!)

All fluids have been changed regularly - I get the best stuff for free. Have only just changed the diff-oil, engine and gearbox oil for top-spec fully-synthetic 76 Racing stuff. Can give you the next change of fluids too!

On track at Japfest, two GTRs nailed and an RX7 :thumbs: :

The car sailed it's MOT last November and has been used nearly everyday since. 10,000kms since import - and a petrol bill to match. It is quite possible to squeeze over 30mpg, but the sound of boost is far too big a temptation for me! :(

The engine is as sweet as they come, running 0.7bar of boost on the stock cooler with an SAFC-II plumbed in. I use this for monitoring knock, but have also run the car precautionarily rich on the two trackdays its done to keep temperatures down. Tested performance is 0-60 in 5.9 and 0-100 in 16s. Driftbox will not be sold with the car! ;)

The only bad thing about this car is the cosmetics. It's not rotten, just the victim of a few drift scars back in Japan. Beaten back to merely-rippled rear nearside quarter panel, and rear bumper touched up with a rattle can in several places. Bonnet is slightly creased too. But I've got a never-fitted carbon VIS bonnet to go with the car. The GRP front bumper is as you can see. It could really do with a stock bumper or a whole new bodykit for £500 off eGay.

So if it's all such good fun, why am I selling it? It's living beyond my means right now. I need an economy car for bigger MPGs and a more disposable car for track fun. MOT 'til November. Tax is out. But with a deposit I can tax it for 6months for you to drive straight away.

Price: £3500

Post here or PM. :wave:
 
go for it gary. seen and heard this car in the flesh and it is spot on, a proper drift car with the scars to prove it but mechanically sound.

and its quicker than my old s14 was by a long way.
 
Gary, see you Thursday matey.

I'll leave it cold, so you can hear it from start-up. When it's warm I'll take you out. Can't say enough good things about the engine!

Suspension's not so good on the road. Great for drifting but you'll piss blood if you drive it down a bumpy road too quick! The damn thing takes off! :wack:

EDIT: Very good question asked by Gary, will answer it here as well. How many miles on the turbo engine? I have no idea. It's clean enough with no oil smoke from the turbo and no oil consumption at all. It will have been plucked from an unknown donor car at an unknown time in unknown Japan. And placed inside my KPS13 at an unknown mileage. All I can say is; it's an SR20DET. Chain-driven cams. Sounds great. Goes better. FSH? Dealer stamps? Wrong car mate! :thumbs:

Nah... the trusty ZZR1400 at mach 2.4 most likely. Or an Alfa 75... or a Volvo 340! :wack: Next car purchase will be seriously low-budget. No more than £500. The PS13 is far too classy for me!
