1987 Nissan Silvia 1.8 ca18et turbo

Summary:

Real high performance if you have about 100000 Norwegan Kroner

Faults:

Rust on the plate under the registration plate, but has been changed, have just changed the registration.

A little hole in the side of the cheer.

Bad paint after 14 years, doing a repaint in red with cobra stripes or racing flag.

General Comments:

Mounting an intercooler from a Cosworth.

A dump valve for that cool sound and faster turbo charge after a gear change.

A inside turbo pressure adjuster (up to 1.4 psi.) Needs a fifth injector.

A BMC power filter (gives a cool sound if you don't have a dump valve at those high pressure gear changes)!

Sachs clutch for better grip at high rpm starts!

Cool blue neon lights inside the coupe.

17 inch 5 spoked aluminium rims with 235 40 tires back and 215 45 front tires (Toyo Proxis).

Balanced drive axle.

New bearings in the turbo (expensive in Norway).

2001 model Celica rear wing! Looks real cool, especially compared to the ugly foam wing it had originally!

New cool carbon wipers with twin blade!

The car is now running at about 330bhp!!!

Does 0-100 km/t in just 4.8 seconds, real fun!!! Hard to keep traction for the first 3 gears!!!

The car needs ABS!!!

Thinking of projecting an ABS set from a 200SX S13!! I think it'll be a big job if possible!!!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
