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 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!

2014 Nissan Juke Nismo RS priced from $26,120*

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

We'll admit, we're quite excited about the Nissan Juke Nismo RS, especially now that its price has been revealed. For $26,120, you can get the sharpest, sportiest Juke outside of the over-caffeinated, 545-horsepower Juke R.
That base price reflects the cost of the Juke Nismo RS you really want - the front-drive model, complete with six-speed manual. Snagging an all-wheel-drive, CVT-equipped version will cost an extra $2,000. Those prices don't include an *$810 destination charge.
The Juke Nismo RS boasts an extra 18 hp and 26 pound-feet of torque over the 197-hp Juke Nismo, thanks to things like a new exhaust. The big, must-have feature, though, are the Recaro thrones fitted in the front of the RS. As we said when the hot Juke debuted in LA last year, the seats alone may be worth upgrading to the RS model.

Nissan Leaf has 2nd-best sales month ever, Chevy Volt does a 2013 repeat [UPDATE]

Tue, Apr 1 2014

UPDATE: The official press release says that "Volt [sales were] up 7 percent," but Randy Fox let AutoblogGreen know that this is simply due to a change in the fleet/retail mix between March 2013 and 2014. The actual number sold was exactly the same in the two months. A month ago, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said he expected to see the Leaf's sales momentum continue into March. It wasn't a big leap, since January and February were slow sales months in 2013 (around 640 each) before a big climb to 2,200 in March. In 2014, the first two months of the year were better (around 1,300 each) but Nissan can still be happy that the Leaf just had the best March ever and its second-highest sales month ever, with 2,507 sold. That's a 12.1 percent increase from 2013 and Perry said in a statement to AutoblogGreen that one reason is all of the buyers who are becoming evangelists for the vehicle. "We've also seen an increase in showroom traffic as we enhanced our marketing presence in March," he said. Nissan pointed to cities like Washington, DC, Raleigh-Durham, NC and urban areas in Texas as strong Leaf markets last month. On the Chevy Volt front, January and February were also slow months in 2014, down roughly half from the 2,000-ish the plug-in hybrid was selling at the end of 2013. For 2014, sales were up slightly from the first two months of the year and Chevy spokesman Randy Fox told AutoblogGreen that the March number was "pretty flat, year-over-year." Even with that warning, we were surprised to see the total come in at 1,478. Why's that? Because the total for March 2013 was ... 1,478. So, yeah, that's pretty steady even if there were 26 selling days in March period this year compared to 27 last year. As always, our more complete report of last month's green car sales will be coming soon. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet GM Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales

Thanks to a year of free charges, Nissan Leaf sees sales increase in Texas

Mon, Mar 10 2014

Nissan is pretty certain that free charging offers in the two largest metropolitan areas in Texas are substantially boosting sales of the Leaf electric vehicle. Heck, one Houston car dealer says Leaf sales have tripled because of the plan, which is run by NRG through its batch of eVgo Freedom Stations. Each of these stations has a fast-charging outlet and a standard Level 2 cord where EV drivers can plug-in without breaking out the wallet. Here's how the plan works: NRG is offering a year of free charging for those who buy or lease a Leaf in either the Houston or Dallas-Fort Worth areas. NRG has 17 stations in Houston and another 23 in DFW. Nissan pays NRG a fee for employing the program, and it's apparently paying off, Nissan's Brendan Jones told Plug In Cars. The stations are located at retailers such as Walgreens and at gas-station chains. The "No Charge to Charge" program started October 1 and runs through the end of this month. The promotion may be driving sales, but let's remember that Nissan was touting a rise in Leaf sales numbers before the free charging deal went into effect. Of course, the fun does eventually end, and folks have to start paying for the juice after that first year. Two options NRG offers are a 12-month unlimited charging plan for $39.95 a month or a year of unlimited one-hour sessions at a Level 2 a cool $59.95. Californians, there's sadly no word on Nissan or NRG bringing a similar program to the Golden State. Because we know you were wondering that.
