    My S13 1993 HEAVILY modified and road legal

    Hi peoples.... the time has come for my and my long time love to part ways.....
    I have owned the car since 2007 and have done so much to it with my own hands, and it still makes me smile on every drive but i just don't have the time to use it as anymore........ approx 1000 miles in the last 4 years according to the MOT certificate....... it needs to go to someone who will give it the time/driving it deserves..... pointless trying to drive a potentially all out "race car" in bristol trafic
    the car has never been drifted/raced or even gone on track as i have always been too scared that i/someone would write off my pride and joy.... even though i built it with street/track driving in mind

    Im advertising it on here first as i would rather it go to a club enthusiast rather than someone who i would find embedded in a lamp post at the end of my street if you know what i mean...

    ive compiled a list of the mods (may have forgotten a few)

    Fully perfectly aligned on Hunter 3D 4 wheel alignment system
    Front and rear cusco strut braces

    INTERIOR

    OMP Steering wheel
    Sparkrite Boost/Vacuum Guage
    Auto gauge oil pressure gauge
    Auto gauge oil temp guage
    auto gauge water temp gauge (not very acurate)
    S14 cream leathers quite good condition but 1 rear seat has some fiberglass resin spilt on it that i cant get off
    Fitted 200sx mats

    received_10155264627540087.jpgreceived_10155265186020087.jpgreceived_10155265186255087.jpgreceived_10155265186430087.jpgreceived_10155265186955087.jpg

    i have some more pics which i will try to upload later on....

    Bad bits:-
    the wrap on the roof is starting to peel and appears to be pulling some paint up
    there are a few small cracks around on the bodywork but nothing i would consider major
    1 of the hydraulic lifters has developed a tap on start up but quiets down after a few minutes
    power steering pump whines a bit on startup due to the lower position of the reservoir because of the IC piping route but quiets down again once the fluid has warmed up a touch
    the usual rusty tailgate is popping back through
    the carbon bonnet has been damaged but doesnt look half bad with a polish
    please remember this is a 25 year old car so the interior carpet etc needs a bit of TLC

    Mot till Jan 2019

    A small word of warning to any potential buyers... this car will spin up the rear wheels near the top end 1st, 2nd and sometimes even 3rd gear depending on road surface so unless you have proof of fully comp insurance with this cars reg and all listed modifications and the money to buy the vehicle with you, I will be driving for any test drives........ so please don't be offended if you ask and i say no


    in light of the bad bits and the rarity of S13s these days i am looking for £5500 but am open to offers but not really looking for a part ex although if you did happen to have a 350z gt i have always fancied one....

    any questions please ask

    Im not on here a lot any more so please be patient if i dont respond straight away.... but will be checking this thread regularly

    I WISH I could have bought something like this in the USA for sensible money. They aren't even ca18det and want big money for complete sheds.

    So much time and effort in this car. Good luck with your sale!!

    Not a current one no... last RR was about 6 years ago... that made nearly 330 with a smaller turbo at 1.25 bar now tuned to 1.4 bar with the 3071 on the roads so no graph was created... I would conservatively estimate 350+
