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:  |

Nissan testing experimental dealer with no desks or offices
Wed, 26 Mar 2014Nissan thinks it has found a better way to sell cars, and it involves stripping showrooms of everything but the cars and sales team. The brand calls the experiment the Nissan New Retail Concept, and it might get tested in the US in a few years.
The concept is relatively simple. Showrooms ditch offices, reception counters, cubicles and desks. Instead salespeople walk around inside and outside the dealer with mobile devices to assist customers and even complete sales. Associates are trained to take immediate responsibility for each visitor they encounter. For example, if owners comes inside with a problem with their vehicle, the employee escorts them to the service department and introduces them.
A dealer in London has been testing the new layout for the last nine months, and so far it reports better customer satisfaction, loyalty and most importantly higher sales. Nissan next plans to launch test stores in Moscow and Stuttgart. Then it will broaden out to more of Western Europe and finally will be tested in the Japan, the US and the Middle East, according to Automotive News.
2014 Nissan GT-R Track Pack squares off against Audi R8 V10 Plus
Wed, 22 May 2013The team over at Motor Trend has pitted the new Audi R8 V10 Plus against the Nissan GT-R. While both of the bright red all-wheel-drive supercars are comparably matched in power output, the similarities end there. Audi offers a mid-engine aluminum coupe with a naturally aspirated V10 that spits out 550 horsepower. Nissan shows up with a more traditional coupe equipped with a 545-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 at the front of the car.
The Head-to-Head video takes both cars to the Streets of Willow Springs in the California desert for some track work with professional racing driver Randy Pobst behind the wheel. After a day at the track, the pair head to the local mountains for some spirited real-world driving. One dominates on the circuit, while the other earns back its credibility in the canyons. We won't tell you which coupe comes out on top, but we think you may be surprised. Follow the link below to watch for yourself.
Gran Turismo vs reality as Red Bull pro-gamer takes on Nismo pro racer
Tue, 31 Dec 2013The last time we saw a real racing driver pitted against a professional gamer, Viagame threw one of each in a Renault Megane RS and the contest was staged as the pro driver navigated the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona. That could be seen as a handicap for the gamer, since he's got to get his drive on while dealing with all sorts of unfamiliar G-force sensations that are out of time with what he's doing. Even so, the gamer won.
Nismo has taken its turn, running almost the same contest at Silverstone in the UK. This time, though, it has put its GTAcademy Driver and pro driver Wolfgang Reip in a car by himself, while Red Bull pro gamer Erik Leštach gets to play Gran Turismo 6 safely locked down in the pits. With each driver in his chosen milieu, the game is afoot.
You can find out who won by watching the video below, and for a chance to win something yourself, Nismo will send a box of goodies to whomever guesses the winning time in the video's comments on YouTube.
