1993 Nissan 240sx Hatchback, Sr20det, Super Clean on 2040-cars
Long Beach, California, United States
|
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: |

Nismo GT-R poised to be fastest Nissan ever
Mon, 17 Jun 2013For almost every year since the Nissan GT-R first debuted, Nissan has been figuring out how to cram more power under the hood or give it 911-like quickness around the Nürburgring. Looking to create a brand image for its performance arm, we already knew that a hotter, Nismo-branded GT-R was in the works, but it seems some details may have leaked regarding this new Nismo GT-R.
While little has been spoken of this Super GT-R since February, Top Gear is reporting that Nismo is planning to make improvements to the coupe's power, handing and styling - three things that we're sure few have complained about since 2009. What could this mean for the GT-R? According to the article, Nismo could be looking to raise horsepower from the current 545-hp mark to more than 570 hp, and handling upgrades could give the car a 'Ring lap time of seven minutes and 22 seconds, which as Top Gear points out, is four seconds quicker than the new 911 GT3.
Recharge Wrap-up: Renault-Nissan at COP21, fast charging viability
Tue, Dec 15 2015Nissan and Renault's combined fleet of 200 EVs drove over 175,000 kilometers (about 108,700 miles) during the COP21 environmental summit in Paris. The largest fleet of EVs for any international conference served as shuttles for attendees, saving almost 182 barrels of oil and 18 tons of CO2 emissions. In addition to providing the Nissan Leaf, Nissan e-NV200, and Renault Zoe EV shuttles, the Renault-Nissan Alliance also set up a network of 90 chargers to support the fleet. 13 of the 27 quick and semi-quick chargers will remain in place for public use. Read more in the press release below.Siemens names Ann Arbor, Michigan for its first Center of Excellence for Intelligent Traffic Technology. The company will implement new and upgrade existing traffic technologies in the city, including cloud-based traffic management software, local controller software and an adaptive traffic control system designed to improve traffic flow and safety. In a college town with highly varying numbers of students and visitors throughout the year, "the need to move traffic in and out of the city efficiently is crucial not only for economic and environmental impacts, but for quality of life for Ann Arbor residents," says Marcus Welz, president of Siemens Intelligent Traffic Systems. Many Ann Arborites (your author included) would surely agree.

The researchers found parking spots to be the most popular public charging locations, and that fast chargers saw the most frequent use, suggesting commercial viability for the infrastructure in the short- to medium-term. The study also found that most drivers prefer to charge at home, and do so during peak hours. Incentivization could be necessary to break people from this habit. Read more at Green Car Congress.
Semi-autonomous Nissan Leaf certified for road use in Japan [w/video]
Sat, 28 Sep 2013In order to meet its goal of having an autonomous car in production by 2020, Nissan is going to have be able to test its technology in real-world driving conditions. For this, the automaker has just received a license plate to legally test its semi-autonomous driver assist systems in Japan, marking the first time such technologies have been tested on that country's roads. Not ironically, the license plate number is 2020.
Though not fully autonomous, this Leaf prototype will test various components of a self-driving car including exiting the highway, the ability to stay in its lane and change lanes when needed, stopping at red lights and overtaking stopped or slow traffic. Nissan is also in the process of building a proving ground in Oppama, Japan dedicated solely to autonomous cars, but the ability to test on public roads will obviously play a crucial role in the development of these cars. Scroll down for a short video and press release Nissan posted to mark the occasion.
