***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.

. Importers throughout the USA are offering old CA18 cars, with rusty underbodies and high mileage, for 9-13000k+++in the USA that for whatever reason were never exported sooner (makes you think) until now. 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 is free of any issues, problems or "quirks" .

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!

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.

Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln

Sat, 26 Jul 2014

Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.

GT-R driver walks away from terrifying dragstrip accident

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

With all-wheel drive, launch control and a dual-clutch transmission, the Nissan GT-R may be easier to manage than most supercars. But that doesn't mean that dragging one on a wet strip is a good idea.
Filmed at the Unlimited 500+ drag race in Moscow, Russia, this video depicts a pair of GT-Rs going head to head. But things didn't go quite as planned when the driver of one lost control of her twin-turbo supercar. We'll let the video below speak for itself, but thankfully it appears no one was hurt - an outcome that seems particularly remarkable in light of the fact that it appears that the driver was not wearing a fire suit or helmet.
