Copied this over from the SXOC for all you lovely people 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, after putting this off for as long as possible here goes....
For sale is my RB25DET Sileighty, formerly Pete C's car before I bought her back in May.
I was really hoping to hang onto the car for a very long time, if not forever! Had many ideas, mostly involving keeping her as mint as she is and upping the power but sadly reality has caught up with me.
I've got a fairly large credit card bill to pay off and an even larger loan looming over me, what with the house and a young family it's time to be sensible take a break from cars for a short while and get everything paid off, so the Sileighty has to go to a new home in order for me to make this happen
Anyway, enough of my depressing rambling, time for the details, the car is a
1992 RS13 Exec in Kuro Black. Pete C carried out the work transforming her into what you see today and since I bought her I've basically just enjoyed and maintained the car, fixed a couple of little boost leaks and made a few little additions, so here's the spec:
94,000 miles
MOT Oct 18th 2008 (Just had this done last week, sailed through - not even an advisory!)
5 Months Tax
Complete respray in original colour April 06
ENGINE:
RB25DET from R33 GTS25t - bottom end rebuild/refresh before fitting (Now about 4000 miles ago I think)
A'PEXi Power FC mapped by Horsham Developments
Garrett T3 turbo (4x4 Cosworth)
Forge Motorsport adjustable actuator
Custom 3" exhaust with subtle twin tailpipes
A'PEXi induction kit (Brand new one just fitted)
Hybrid FMIC Kit
Mocal 19-row oil cooler kit with thermostat
Halfords Mitsi Evo battery
Oil Catch Tank
Autobahn88 Triple Core Aluminium Radiator (fitted in July)
TRANSMISSION:
Exedy Organic Clutch
R33 GTS25t gearbox
R33 GTS25t LSD
R33 GTS25t driveshafts
CHASSIS:
Kayaba AGX adjustable damping shocks
AVO Chassis Dynamics springs
Whiteline castor adjustable front TC bushes
Whiteline adjustable front & rear anti-roll bars
Nismo polyurethane steering rack bushes
S/S steering bush replacement
Alloy subframe locking collars
S14 5-stud hubs
BRAKES:
Z32 Brake Master Cylinder
S14 4-pot front calipers
R33 GTS twin pot rear calipers
315mm E36 M3 Brembo front discs
Porterfield RS-4 pads
INTERIOR:
S14a cloth front seats
Autometer 52mm 'Ultralite' 20psi boost gauge in A-pillar pod
WHEELS/STYLING:
R33 GT-R wheels 17x9, 245/45 rear, 225/45 front tyres
S13 Silvia front
De-spoilered
Kouki rear lights
Some Pics (the car now has the Twin Square headlights and the engine bay shot is an old one, before the rad and filter was fitted, I didn't have any shiny pics with the new additions, will try to get some up to date pics when I get a spare couple of mins!):
Underside is clean tidy and undersealed:
The fun bit
I gave her an oil change in August with Silkolene Pro S and a genuine nissan flter and she had the coolant flushed and renewed when the rad was changed.
I also recently had the fueling checked with a wideband O2 sensor and all is well there.
Back in July she went to Surrey Rolling road and recorded 259.6BHP, which was a bit lower than expected. This was soon discovered to be due to the boost trailing off past 5k rpm. The fueling graph showed the fueling was perfect which is because the car was mapped with this boost drop occuring. After the rolling road I found a number of boost leaks which I've taken care of and it feels a lot better now and comes on boost stronger (not to mention hitting 0.8bar at 2700rpm!), which is why I had the fueling checked over again to make sure this hadn't thrown things out. The boost does still trail off and I believe this could be down to the turbo being a little small or possibly a weak actuator, the Intercooler pipework also looks a little restrictive.
The only bad bits to mention are the front turret tops have the usual S13 rust coming through and the tailgate has a little bubbling coming up on the opposite side to the wiper.
It also pulls slightly to the drivers side under hard braking, but the MOT man couldn't find any faults and the brakes tested fine with even pressure on each side, front and back.
Other than that she is a very very clean S13 as you can see from the pics. Easily the cleanest I've owned (This is my fourth 13) and among the cleanest I've seen (definately one of the most solid!). With 12 Months MOT and no advisory notes she'll be a trouble free car to whoever is lucky enough to take her off me.
To drive this car is something else, I even text Pete something to that effect when I got home from picking her up from him! The power figure might not seem much to some but with the added torque of that RB it's plenty quick enough, not to mention that gorgeous straight six howl
. Handling is also very good and turn in is fantastic, she's never put a foot wrong whilst I've driven her.
Pretty much the whole history of this car can be found on the SXOC site and I'm sure Pete C will confirm anything I've said here should you want to ask him.
I'm putting her up for £5,000.00. Viewing welcome and highly recommended.
Feel free to post, PM or e mail with any questions.
