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 previews new Sport Sedan Concept ahead of Detroit debut
Tue, 31 Dec 2013When the Cobo Center opens its doors in a couple of weeks for the Detroit Auto Show, there'll be plenty of new metal on display - and this is the latest.
Nissan announced today that it will bring a new Sport Sedan Concept to the Detroit show, releasing the short statement below accompanied by the teaser image above. Expected to hint at the next Maxima, the concept "previews a new energetic design direction that amplifies Nissan's legendary approach of applying sports car principles to a sedan."
That's about all Nissan is saying for now, so we'll have to wait a while longer to find out more. But the concept will be joined on the show floor by the IDx Freeflow and IDx Nismo concepts that'll be showcased for the first time in North American after their debut at the Tokyo Motor Show over a month ago.
Ghosn: Nissan, Renault going for 'mini alliance' with 'reduced scope'
Tue, Jul 18 2023TOKYO — Former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn said on Tuesday during a news conference at the Foreign CorrespondentsÂ’ Club of Japan in Tokyo that the Japanese automaker and Renault are trying to go for less cooperation between them with a deal to overhaul their long-standing alliance. "With the latest agreement, they're trying to go for a mini alliance with a very reduced scope of cooperation," Ghosn told reporters in Tokyo via video stream. Nissan and Renault are holding discussions about a final agreement to overhaul their alliance, after announcing in January that the deal will see Renault bring down its stake in Nissan to 15% from about 43% to put them on an equal level. Earlier this year, Ghosn filed a lawsuit against Nissan and a handful of individuals seeking $588 million in lost remuneration, and a further $500 million in moral damages. “Nissan will have to pay for what they did to me and my family,” Ghosn said. “Nissan created a lot of damage Â… damage that can not be repaired.” “What IÂ’m looking for is not revenge,” Ghosn added. “I just want to make sure that all the criminals and the plotters cannot sleep quietly in their beds after what they have committed.” Material from Reuters was used in this report.

Spitballs flying between Nissan and Fiat
Thu, 06 Dec 2012At the 2012 LA Auto Show, Fiat brand chief and recently crowned marketing genius, Olivier François, attempted to distance the Fiat 500e from other electric vehicles, asking rhetorically, "Isn't ugliness the worst kind of pollution?" Nissan has apparently taken issue with these comments, feeling slighted for what it considers digs at the Leaf's styling. In a recent interview with Automotive News, Nissan's marketing chief Simon Sproule shot back, "Let's face it, Fiat has not shied away from controversial styling themselves," he continued, "many would describe many of their products as visual pollution." Ouch.
Sproule says that while the 500e is a "me-too" product, made only to appease US emissions regulations, the Leaf is a serious effort at producing an EV. The Nissan marketing boss points out that the Japanese automaker has invested billions in EV development and production facilities, while Fiat will lose $10,000 on every 500e sold.
However sales of the Leaf in the US are down five percent. Nissan sold just 8,330 Leaf's so far this year, but Sproule contends that it has less to do with styling, and more with the charging infrastructure. Sproule also thinks that Nissan hit a balance between styling and practicality with the Leaf: "It's still very recognizable as a five-seat hatchback, fully functioning, absolutely competitive with the packaging of the Golf of any other mainstream vehicle." For a segment where efficiency is king, isn't that what matters most?
