Hi guys. For sale in the SoCal/LA area is a '93 Sileighty. 241,720 miles on the chassis, but that's almost the only thing left that's original. This car has an SR20DET. The engine has ~30k miles since I got it, and has been rebuilt once in that time (blown head gasket; sigh). I've had the car since 2005 and have gone through it from the ground up. It was built to be a comfortable, fly-under-the-radar daily driver and an awesome handling weekend track car. It was built by former Sport Compact Car engineering editor Dave Coleman and myself, using the original SCC Project Silvia as performance inspiration. Read about a bunch of the technical details in Dave Coleman's MotoIQ series about the car. The specs: Power Blacktop S13 SR20DET, 240+ rwhp JWT ECU, custom tuned on the dyno by Clark Steppler T28 turbo, Extrude Honed Stillen intercooler JWT clutch and lightweight flywheel ARP head studs DSM blowoff valve, recirculated (the way it should be) 3" downpipe and Magnaflow exhaust with Mazda RX-8 cat 300ZXTT MAF Bottomless Q45 airbox (for better airflow + stock looks) Power Enterprise PBC Power Boost Controller (installed but not working for some reason; currently running a boost jet at 11 PSI) Koyo aluminum radiator OEM Miata fans Custom aluminum one-piece driveshaft JDM OEM Nissan clutch-type diff Walbro 255lph fuel pump 615cc injectors Handling & Braking OEM JDM 2-way clutch-type rear differential S14 front knuckles & 5-lug conversion Custom Ground Control coilovers/strut bodies with Koni Sport inserts. Springs are 300F/250R 17x8.5" SSR GT7 wheels, powdercoated gunmetal grey. Brand new matching spare wheel and all original center caps included BF Goodrich Sport Comp 2 tires, only ~3000 miles Front and rear strut tower bars (Front is Whiteline) Camber plates Front and rear adjustable Progress sway bars with Mazdaspeed3 ball joint end links 300ZXTT aluminum uprights 300ZXTT front and rear aluminum calipers and Stoptech SS braided brake lines 300ZXTT brake booster Stoptech Powerslot rotors, and a bunch of spares will go with the car Curb weight 2750 lbs, corner weighted with near perfect 50/50 weight distribution Exterior Silvia front end w/ GT-R center panel JDM 180SX taillights New paint in 2007 -- Beryllium body (OEM Infiniti color) with a Super Black roof (OEM Nissan color) Interior Not smoked in WORKING A/C! S14 front seats, super clean New black carpet and floor mats in the cabin(this was a royal bitch to install.) Dark headliner conversion (feels like a fancy German car, ooh!) Non-choking S14 seat belt conversion MonsterKnobs shift knob (got it here on eBay, it's great) Momo steering wheel with carbon fiber accents Almost perfect dash (small crackle in the corner that ends at the defroster vent) NO SUNROOF! (weight savings + headroom) Crank windows (lighter weight! And you'll never have to replace any dead electric window actuators) Mini Techtom (so you can track the ACTUAL coolant temp) Red LED dash light conversion Red LED dome light Infinity Basslink 200-watt powered sub 6" Infinity speakers in all 4 corners Sony MP3 CD head unit with AUX jack Optima battery relocated to hatch for weight distribution, with remote terminal in the engine bay for easier jump access if necessary Minor downers Though it looks awesome, it still is a 21-year-old driven car, so... It is very cold blooded and needs to be warmed up a couple minutes before it has good throttle response. This is a detail we missed when tuning at JWT, because we did everything with the engine hot. Just needs a little bit of simple diagnostic work with the engine cold (to identify if it is an ignition or fuel tuning issue) Two tiny door dings Some small paint chips from daily driving A few light scrapes and scratches Weird half-dollar-sized flaw in the clear coat on the hood - couldn't get it to show up in the photo Front bumper is spiderwebbed/chipped from a very low speed incident Very light curb rash on 3 wheels Half of the LED dash lights have gone flaky. Sometimes they work, sometimes no. Probably a bad ground 3 of the speakers are flaky, probably a bad ground Wrinkle-coat paint on the valve cover is flaking off Horn isn't working Plastic trim on driver seat recline lever is broken off, but metal lever still works Buyers from US and Canada welcome. Buyer to arrange pickup and/or shipping. THE PICS The inside of the diff: The bigger door ding (the other one won't show up in a photo): Small scrapes: The worst of the paint chips: Front bumper damage: Curb rash: The tiny dash crackle: Glorious action shots: If you can find this, you can read a bunch of technical details about building the car. There are 3 parts! Proof that it really is Project Silvia's girlfriend: |

Japanese automakers ramping production for renewed American sales
Wed, 21 Nov 2012The 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan took quite the toll on the automotive industry in that nation. Not content to lean on that tragedy as excuse for slagging sales, the Japanese automakers are planning on a major production expansion in North America. The aim is to reclaim the market share lost from the Tsunami-based dip, and overcome a dollar/yen exchange rate that makes exporting to America unprofitable.
Following the Tsunami, Japanese automakers ramped up production in their North American facilities to compensate, but according to Automotive News, Nissan, Honda and others have all reported plans for still-further increased production in the year ahead. As part of this ramp-up, Mazda will open a facility in Salamnca, Mexico before March of 2014. Part of that increase in output is 50,000 units of a Toyota-badged compact car, which Mazda will produce.
Other Mexican production facilities opening include a Honda plant, which will open in Spring 2014 in Celaya, and a Nissan plant, set to open later this year in Aguascalientes. Nissan also said that it will need another plant in North America within the next five years. According to Nissan Boss Carlos Ghosn, the company aims to raise its stake in the US market from 8 percent to 10, and adding production will help achieve that goal. Even Mitsubishi is aiming to boost production at its Normal, Illinois plant. Production of the Outlander Sport is currently at 50,000, which Mitsubishi wants to raise to 70,000.
Nissan NV200 finds new work as ambulance, Gibson guitar repair truck
Thu, 28 Mar 2013We live in a world now where not every police cruiser and taxi is a Ford Crown Victoria, not every executive car is a Lincoln Town Car and not every ambulance is based on a Ford Econoline van. Vehicles like the new Nissan NV200 are making inroads into the service, livery and emergency vehicle markets, and we've got a couple cases in point to share.
The first one is a fleet of 30 new ambulances based on the heavier-duty NV2500 chassis. They are entering the Mexican Red Cross fleet of emergency vehicles this year after performing well in pilot tests last year. The Mexican Red Cross says it receives 1,200,000 ambulance service requests per year, so the mettle of these new machines will be tested in a hurry.
The second example is less useful for life-saving, but may save a guitar from going to the scrap heap. Called the Gibson NV200 Mobile Repair & Restoration Van, it can take the services of an authorized Gibson rep anywhere they're needed to repair or restore an axe in need. The van features a whole aesthetic designed to evoke the classic Gibson look, with wood veneer and shades of brown and black used throughout. There's a guitar rack that holds four instruments, a sliding 56-inch long repair table, toolbox, genuine Gibson stools and a sound system by Gibson Pro Audio.
Nissan New Micra headed for Canadian showroom after Montreal reveal?
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Fresh off news that Mitsubishi is bringing a sedan version of its Mirage, called the G4, to this month's Montreal Auto Show, we now believe that another small car will be debuting for our small-car-loving friends to the north. Word is that Nissan will be bringing its compact New Micra to the Canadian show, as well. Slotting in just below the Versa Note hatchback in terms of both size and price, the Montreal debut should be followed up with an on-sale date in short order.
We've been hearing rumors that the New Micra would end up in Canadian dealerships for some time. At every turn, however, we've also heard that the Franco-Japanese hatch is not intended for sale in the US, and nothing in this latest report from Autos.ca would seem to indicate otherwise. As Autoblog sources are quick to point out, Nissan already has one of the least-expensive offerings in the US, the $11,990 Versa Sedan, and the Japanese automaker just doesn't see room underneath it for another model. Sorry, Yank.
