My '93 RS13 soon to be for sale =(

[Garrett_T25]

I hate myself so much for typing this, but within the next 2-3 weeks, my 1993 Nissan 200SX will be for sale. The wait for the sale is due to a mechanic solving an overfuelling problem for me, and also so I can have 3 new Pirelli P-Zero Rossi tyres fitted, as well as the front tracking adjusted (I got a puncture in my almost new rear tyre ).

Essentials:
-UK car, CA18DET engine (running at Stage 2)
-Slightly over 83.6k miles
-FSH
-PRISTINE bodywork and interior
-Taxed and MOT'd
-This car has NOT been used for drifting. As Im sure G20Ben will vouch, I drive like a grandmother, and I spend more time pampering the car than I do driving her.

Im looking for around the £3k mark. Im not willing to break the car for spares either, and the only p/x Im interested in is for either a Kouki 180SX RPS13 (Type X preferably) or an S14A.

I will update this thread when Im not at work with full spec, pictures etc.

Right, Im home. Ill be as completely honest about this car as I possibly can. I suppose I better start somewhere...

1993 Nissan 200SX RS13 facelift

This car has been the high-point of the last year or so of my life, I dreamt about having a car like this all through college, then I finally got the balls (and cash) to buy one. Its been my daily driver everyday, and even been round the Nurburgring, all without missing a beat. Ive owned this car since 70k, and its been serviced every 3000 miles by myself. Its taxed and MOTd until April.

Spec
-CA18DET engine (83'606 miles)
-Garrett T28 turbo (from low-mileage S14A, fitted by ART at 73k)
-K&N 57i induction kit
-Apex turbo-back exhaust system
-HKS SSQV Blow off valve
-Saab FMIC
-Platinum-tipped spark plugs
-HD Stage 1 chip (although this will be a Stage 2 chip by the time it sells)
-Apex 40mm lowering springs/Apex shockers
-Rear strut bar
-Lenso Evo II 18X7.5 wheels
-Will come with 3 brand new (one nearly new) Pirelli P-Zero Rossi tyres - 215/35 front, 225/40 rear

Interior
-Momo steering wheel w/ snap-off boss (auto-cancel on indicator works as it should)
-Colour-coded centre console
-GReddy boost gauge mounted in A-Pillar (reads in bar)
-Oil pressure/boost gauge (PSI) mounted above glovebox
-JVC 'Monster' 6X9 speakers on parcel shelf
-Nismo replica gear knob
-Momo pedals

Bodywork

The car has been de-spoilered, and de-bricked. The front end has had a recent complete respray (bonnet, bumper, wings) due to a botched attempt by the previous owner which was a different shade of red. The bonnet was sprayed black to match the roof, centre panel on rear lights and wheels. At the same time, a vented headlight cover was fitted.There are no dents and no rust anywhere on the car.

Pics






Bad bits

-All four wheels show slight kerb marks (from previous owner)
-There is a small patch of paint missing above the number plate (roughly an inch across in black)
-Front plastic splitter is damaged (has a split)

If anyone wants pics of the bad bits, let me know. However:

Good bits

-Two new front brake pads (have covered 60 miles so far)
-New starter motor
-New coilpacks
-New battery
-New spark plugs

All these have been done within the last two weeks, and on top of this are the Stage 2 chip and 3 new tyres as mentioned before.

Price is £3000 ovno, Im looking for a black S14A or an SR-engined S13 (preferably Type-X) as replacement. This car is already potentially sold at £3k pending whether he can sell his MR2 turbo.

Thanks for looking

Stunning

[Garrett_T25]

Thanks

In spectacular fashion, I forgot to mention another one of the bad bits. The engine mounts are worn, so the engine has a fair amount of movement at idle. Obviously once its above 1100rpm the engine is steady as a rock, its not an expensive job, its just something that has never particularly bothered me enough to get sorted.

Some more quick shots:




The back seats are currently out of the car as I was planning on getting some proper use out of her this year. However, I will happily put them back in for a potential buyer. Theyve only been out of the car for around 2 weeks, and Ive driven the car once in that time.

[Crazy_sx]

what bhp is it now?.

bump for the most beautiful s13

[Garrett_T25]

The only time it was RR'd was to check fuelling etc when I had the T28 fitted. Running less than stock boost, she made 140rwhp.The highest Ive run her was at 0.8 bar for a few months, and for daily use shes normally at 0.6bar. Any power figure I could give would be purely an estimation.

Cheers Shortcut

Just a note to say, any younger drives looking to buy, dont be put off by the spec. I was 19 with 3 months driving under my belt when I bought her, Adrian Flux insured all mods (covered like for like) for an extra £70 per year.

[G20BEN]

yep i can certainly vouch that Grez does pay this car far too much love and attention, i don't think i've ever seen it dirty

and i have never ever seen it driven in anger

i don't ever think i've heard the BOV go off either !!

as he's already mentioned, Grez has put alot of time, effort & money into this car recently which shouldn't be over looked.

great looking car with a 1st class recent spray job.

[Garrett_T25]

Cheers buddy

You shouldnt be helping me to sell though, Ill be down at your work badgering you to sell me your 14A cheap

[Loose Hand Luke]

I know its cheeky but:
Any chance of a larger version of those pics so I can use them for a wall paper on my pc?
Trying to keep myself motivated to put mine back together!

[Garrett_T25]

My car was described by a kid as ''A dodge Viper with a map of Italy on the door''.

The Dodge I can see, somehow, but the map of Italy?

[Garrett_T25]

Its a Nurburgring sticker

[Dan Sim]

This car deserves as many free bumps it can be given. Got the same motor and going for that look myself. Looking smart mate.
