***PLEASE NOTE! VEHICLE IS ORIGINAL JDM CAR. USDM VIN of a similar vehicle was needed for listing (ebay doesnt like the JDM Short vin, not recognized), Vehicle is actually a 1988, not an 89. Thank you ebay for making my ad look awful! Photo of vin is included in photos. Valid CDN ownership, and original 1988 model.

Late 1988 (S13) Nissan Silvia K's, Fully Restored + Performance Upgrades + SR20DET. "26 yrs old"

Selling because I have purchased an exotic car.

Up for sale is my Silvia K's. Introduced in 1988, the Silvia was an instant hit in Japan, thus sparking the sale of the 240SX for example in north america.
This vehicle is can be eligible for US importation, being produced in 1988.
Located Near Buffalo NY/ Detroit MI in Hamilton, Ontario CANADA.
Nationwide shipping etc can be arranged.

This car, as you can see from the recent photos has been fully restored. Previous owner was a master tradesperson, so if you are one yourself, you know good work when you see it.
Starting as a straight, clean, rust free chassis, the body was stripped, subframes removed and SR20DET sent for rebuilding. All parts you can see are either new, restored or polished to complete a very very clean, and LEGAL S13 for US or Canadian buyers. If it can be removed, it was replaced, refurbished, polished or made new in some way. Looks better than showroom! This car has been indoors for almost 6 years until earlier this week.

All bodywork was completed by a competent bodyshop, including the seamless installation of the rear widebody. No rivets, screws, or excessive fillers. OEM Type panel bonding glue was used to affix the panels, and finished by the bodyshop. Looks like factory. Inside, the rear wells were properly removed, and radiused. All sealed off, no leaks or rust waiting to happen.
All the aerobody was also fully fitted, and prepared to give a "factory" fitment and appearance. No shoddy, ill fitting panels here! Please note, I have to correct some panels up front, just waiting on Nissan to get all the new rubber stoppers for the panels.(ordered them ages ago!)

The bottom end is low mileage JDM engine, however the top end of the SR20DET 2.0L DOHC Turbo engine has been fully sorted/rebuilt with some of the best parts on the market. The entire drivetrain as pictured shows as new, and is as close as they come! This car was originally equipped with the unpopular (at least in north america) CA18DET engine, which had been since removed by the prev owner.

This car has fresh paint, and has been refreshed inside and out. No tire shine and photo shop, this is what the car looks like. Perfect..

This is my car, I am in Canada, 40 mins from the USA.

This car in suitable weather could drive anywhere in the USA or Canada.

This car is *CURRENTLY* Registered in Canada, and can be easily brought to the USA without issue, and can be done within a few days. This car is 26 yrs old, and is exempt from laws that would make say, a S15 or Skyline R33 very risky, illegal and a federal offense to own. This car is legit!

Please for all the nay sayers, empty pockets, and timewasters, please press the back button. This car is one thing, a POS isn't one of them, and is owned by a competent owner that is ready to let the car go to a new responsible buyer that will take care of the car.

Common emails/questions/answers

Is this converted?

-THIS IS AN ORIGINAL RHD SILVIA! THIS IS NOT A 240SX. IT IS A 1988 NISSAN SILVIA K's FROM JAPAN. CAR HOLDS JDM VIN AND IS NOT REVINNED.

Whats your reserve?

-AS PER MOST AUCTIONS, MY RESERVE IS PRIVATE!

I didnt read your ad whatsoever, but where are you located?

-PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE VEHICLE IS IN HAMILTON ONTARIO...CANADA AND BUYER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITIES FOR TRANSPORT.

Is it registered in the USA?

-No, currently titled and registered in Ontario Canada, HOWEVER the VEHICLE IS 26Y/O to Production year, thus giving it the go ahead for registering in the USA without issue, with a HS7 form (I will include this document, and current valid registration and history check) No loopholes or fraud required!

I have no feedback, but I wish to bid, what can I do?

-Please forward me your contact details, and we can discuss further.

How much power does it make?

-I decided to leave the power adders up to the future buyer. I built the car as a cruiser, so I didnt have a need for large HP output. With a simple tune, turbo upgrade and fuel injectors, 400hp isnt very far away.

Issues with car:

-LH seat has some bolster wear

-Cefiro style turn signals for front bumper are required (missing) (easily found here on ebay, 1988 Cefiro bumper lights)

-Couldnt find new RezaxII wheels, wheels are nice used set, some rash and minor pitting from age. Look great as you can see!

-It may be "too low" for some people, or transport companies. I would be willing to raise the car up for transport purposes, and you can adjust it to your preference.

-Turns many heads, and gets lots of looks. Just in the short trip to get an alignment, I noticed the attention this car grabs, along with feedback on social media, this one is a show stopper! If you dont want to get noticed, this is not the car for you!

Daimler and Nissan venture to build cars in Mexico

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

Nissan and Daimler have been partnering ever closer for years, and now an unnamed source has told Reuters that the automakers have agreed to a 50-50 joint venture in Mexico that would build Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz models. Given that the rumors about just such a deal go back nearly six months and similar rumblings are years old, this arrangement has been a long time coming.
The insider tells Reuters that a memorandum of understanding was signed between them last month to build the Mercedes GLA-Class and new Infinitis at Nissan's Aguascalientes factory. The rumor didn't say when production would begin. It wouldn't be the first time the two automakers have decided to share this platform - Infiniti will build its Q30 compact on it in the UK next year.
The partnership between the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Daimler goes back to 2010 when the companies signed an agreement to share engines, factories and platforms. Since then, products of the partnership have included the underpinnings for the next-generation Smart and Renault Twingo and shared engines among some other models.

Watch Nissan prank unsuspecting test drivers with GT Academy

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Nissan's reality show/motorsports program, GT Academy, is set to return to Spike TV for its fourth season on Friday, and in anticipation, the Nismo team has issued a new video that gives some of its fans a taste of the racing lifestyle.
It all starts innocently enough, with fans test-driving a 2015 Nissan 370Z Nismo, only to have a sudden stop quickly transforms things into something a bit more exuberant and special. We won't spoil the details, so take a look at the video for yourself, and then head into Comments and let us know what you think.
GT Academy will air on Spike TV, Friday nights at 11:30 PM Eastern.

Nissan, Toyota offering payment deferments to people affected by government shutdown

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

Two weeks into the budget-related government shutdown and it sounds like some progress is finally being made, but that doesn't really help furloughed government employees pay their bills. To help out a little, Nissan and Toyota are joining Hyundai with offering payment deferments to current owners and lessees.
In a release, a Nissan spokesperson said the company is "sympathetic to any of our customers who find themselves in difficult financial circumstances - many times outside of their control."
Both Japanese automakers are allowing payment extensions of up to 90 days without penalties or fees. Unlike the Hyundai Assurance Plan, though, it doesn't seem like the Nissan or Toyota assistance will be extended to those who are still in the buying process. Scroll down for press releases from both companies about their respective payment deferment programs.
