    Steve's '91 Silvia PS13

    So after selling the Skyline, and very reluctantly, the Glanza. I managed to stumble across this one day, only 15 minutes down the road.

    SR20DET straight cam
    Apexi power fc
    Z32 afm
    555cc injectors
    T28 turbo
    Stainless elbow
    Stainless downpipe
    HKS HiPower silent exhaust
    Flipped intercooler pipes
    Blitz boost controller - running 1bar
    Turbo timer
    Adjustable cam pulleys
    Koyo rad
    Twin fan setup on switch
    Gtr fuel pump
    Stage 4 Competition clutch
    Possible aftermarket cams

    Bride bucket seat
    Bride seat rail
    Driftworks harness
    GReddy water temp gauge
    Boost gauge
    Full interior
    Nardi steering wheel
    Driftworks quick release
    Start Push button

    Endless 4 pot brakes floating disc
    Hsd coilovers
    Modded nuckels
    Cut and extended lower arms
    Cut subframe, rack moved forward
    Brand new poly rear subframe bushes
    Welded diff
    Cusco front tension rods
    Cusco rear camber
    Cusco rear toe
    Cusco front and rear strut brace
    S14 rear brakes

    Work Meisters 17x10j/-10 rear
    17x10/+10 front
    Dmax body kit
    50mm rear over fenders
    25mm front fenders
    Roof spoiler
    Boot spoiler
    Smoked rear lights
    Brick head lights
    Crystal clear side lights
    Hid kit
    Fully Under sealed













    Pretty much exactly how I would want one to look, so no drastic changes to come cosmetically. So far I've just been sorting out a few little niggles, fuel leak is fixed, now onto the diff, cv boots and trying to stop if from leaking water in (suspect f***ed rear window seals etc).

    Threw a couple of orders over to RHDJapan already though.

    - Tomei Expreme Ti Titanium exhaust system
    - Yashio Factory engine torque Damper
    - Yashio Factory radiator hoses
    - Yashio Factory gearknob
    - Yashio Factory drift button
    - Some obligatory stickers
    - Hyper Revs vol 185 180sx/Silvia (For £15!!!)

    No massive plans as of yet, just going to enjoy it and get use to the setup

    Lovely car this . Out of interest, is there any reason why you're changing from the HKS exhaust to the Tomei? I've been considering the HKS for mine, so would be interested to hear your thoughts on it.

    Looking good, check out Jesse Streeter instead of RHDJapan, he can source stuff a lot cheaper 99% of the time. Bit late now if you've already ordered but something to consider for the future

    edit. pm'ed actually

    Cheers man! The HKS seems a decent system, very quite though. Can't be much louder than stock... Was think of removing the centre silencer, but I always wanted the Tomei system of my Skyline, never wanted to fork out that much money though. Thought I'd just do it this time!

    Yeah exactly, It's nice on the odd occasion, but I just get a little bored without the sound there

    Ah I see. Might take a look at a Blitz then. I would like the car to be quieter, but not THAT quiet lol. It's currently got a 3" straight through system on there with no boxes at all, so I reckon even a Nur would be quieter!

    Yeah the Tomei Expreme Ti is a 3" straight through Titanium system. I'm sure the Blitz ones are one of the loudest ones, or that's my experience with them on other cars... Good systems though!

    So got another little job done today, diff oil changed. Looking at the oil, it desperately needed it!
    I'm really surprised at the size of the metal shards stuck to the drain plug... Time to look for a spare diff, just incase.

    Looking sweet bud! That swarf on the plug doesn't look good at all. Almost looks like bits of mig wire there as well.

    Exactly what I thought, definitely looks like mig wire in there :O is she welded up then?

    If it's not too bold to ask how much was the tomei all in? With customs etc. PM me if you don't want that disclosed in public

    Just got my black ps13 yesterday.

    Yeah been welded up by the previous owner.

    In total including all shipping and taxes/duty etc, it was a tad over £900

    I desperately wanted one for my Skyline but could never bring myself to spend that much... This time I just thought why not! And to be honest, I'm really glad I did. Had it on for two days now and I love it!

    Ah nice one, enjoy!
