***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!  


Late 1988 (S13) Nissan Silvia K's, Fully Restored + Performance Upgrades + SR20DET. USA Legal, EPA Exempt. "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 eligible for 100% US 50 state Legal ownership, 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 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 removed by the prev owner.

Williams developing hybrid system for next Nissan GT-R?

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

Back in June, Nissan announced a new partnership with Williams that would see the Formula One team's applied sciences division help develop a new line of Nismo performance models. It's not the only agreement Renault-Nissan has signed with an F1 team: Infiniti is the title sponsor for Red Bull and Renault powers four teams on the grid. It's also just the latest client Williams has signed a deal with to apply the lessons it has gleaned on the F1 circuit to other racing and sportscars. But now we've got some more info on how Williams and Nismo intend to collaborate on the next-generation GT-R.
According to Australia's Carsales, Williams Advanced Engineering is developing the hybrid powertrain that will boost the next iteration of the supercar-slayer known as Godzilla. Which may seem strange considering that the Renault-Nissan Alliance has plenty of experience with electric propulsion on its own, but then Williams has proven itself something of a leader in the field of performance hybrid powertrains: it supplies them to Porsche and Audi for their Le Mans racecars, and to Jaguar for the C-X75 concept.
Whether Williams and Nismo will settle on a flywheel-based energy recovery system or a more conventional battery-powered system remains to be seen, but brakeforce regeneration likely won't be the only element that Williams will develop for the next GT-R. Expect its expertise in aerodynamics and composites to come to bear as well, which can only mean good things for the replacement for a sportscar that's already one of the most capable on the road.

Nissan commits to adding 'iconic' design after Cube killed off

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

The Nissan Cube is on its way out here in the US and Canada. In a way, that's too bad, simply because the Cube's styling was nothing if not distinctive - much like the company's own Juke. However, the flame for uniquely styled models is indeed still burning over at Nissan.
We might never see an exact replacement for the Cube in the brand's lineup, but product planning boss Andy Palmer says that its retirement leaves a spot open in the Nissan lineup for something else. "To be clear, we will morph this space in our portfolio into something iconic," said Palmer to Automotive News. Unfortunately, he wouldn't hint at what that could mean.
However, his lack of suggestions makes it fun to speculate about what oddity could replace the Cube, especially since two of Nissan's more recent quirky concepts might have problems hitting the road. The Bladeglider is mired in Nissan and Deltawing Technologies' ongoing patent lawsuit. Alternatively, the retro-inspired IDx might be too expensive to build profitably. Still, this is the company that created both the (nearly dead) Murano CrossCabriolet and the very successful Juke; it can probably come up with something else delightfully weird.

Federal prosecutor fights bail for men accused of helping Carlos Ghosn escape

Tue, Jun 23 2020

BOSTON — A U.S. prosecutor on Monday urged a judge to keep a former Green Beret and his son locked up as Japan prepares to formally seek their extradition on charges that they helped former Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn flee the East Asian country. Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Hassink argued during a virtual hearing that Michael Taylor and his son, Peter Taylor, have a "clear and present reason to flee" after being accused of helping Ghosn, who faces financial misconduct charges in Japan. "They're actually some of the best defendants that IÂ’m sure this court has seen positioned to actually succeed in that flight," Hassink said. He argued the men, who have been held without bail since being arrested in Massachusetts last month, helped smuggle Ghosn out of Japan in a box on Dec. 29, 2019. Ghosn then allegedly fled to Lebanon, his childhood home, which has no extradition treaty with Japan. Ghosn, Nissan's former chief executive, was charged with engaging in financial wrongdoing by understating his compensation in Nissan's financial statements. He denies wrongdoing. The Taylors' lawyers countered that had they wished to avoid prosecution they could have remained in Lebanon, where they were in January when Japan said it would seek their arrest, rather than return to Massachusetts. "If he's an expert of escape, he would not have returned to the United States," Robert Sheketoff, a lawyer for Michael Taylor, argued. He and other defense lawyers argued the case against their clients was flawed and that Michael Taylor, a U.S. Army Special Forces veteran and private security specialist, is at heightened risk of complications from COVID-19, which could spread in the jail. The hearing itself was held through a Zoom videoconference because of the coronavirus pandemic. U.S. Magistrate Judge Donald Cabell said he hoped to rule "as quickly as I can." Related Video:
