***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!  Photo of vin is included in photos.  Valid CDN ownership, and original 1988 model.


Late 1988 (S13) Nissan Silvia K's, Fully Restored + Performance Upgrades + SR20DET.  "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 can be eligible for US importation, 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/rebuilt 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 since removed by the prev owner.

Common emails/questions/answers


Is this converted?  

-THIS IS AN ORIGINAL RHD SILVIA!  THIS IS NOT A 240SX.  IT IS A 1988 NISSAN SILVIA K's FROM JAPAN.  CAR HOLDS JDM VIN AND IS NOT REVINNED.

Whats your reserve? 

-AS PER MOST AUCTIONS, MY RESERVE IS PRIVATE!  

I didnt read your ad whatsoever, but where are you located? 

-PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE VEHICLE IS IN HAMILTON ONTARIO...CANADA AND BUYER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITIES FOR TRANSPORT.  

Is it registered in the USA?  

-No, currently titled and registered in Ontario Canada, HOWEVER the VEHICLE IS 26Y/O to Production year, thus giving it the go ahead for registering in the USA without issue, with a HS7 form (I will include this document, and current valid registration and history check) No loopholes or fraud required!

I have no feedback, but I wish to bid, what can I do?

-Please forward me your contact details, and we can discuss further.

How much power does it make?

-I decided to leave the power adders up to the future buyer.  I built the car as a cruiser, so I didnt have a need for large HP output.  With a simple tune, turbo upgrade and fuel injectors, 400hp isnt very far away.








Issues with car:
-LH seat has some bolster wear
-Cefiro style turn signals for front bumper are required (missing)  (easily found here on ebay, 1988 Cefiro bumper lights)
-Couldnt find new RezaxII wheels, wheels are nice used set, some rash and minor pitting from age.  Look great as you can see!
-It may be "too low" for some people, or transport companies.  I would be willing to raise the car up for transport purposes, and you can adjust it to your preference.
-Turns many heads, and gets lots of looks.  Just in the short trip to get an alignment, I noticed the attention this car grabs, along with feedback on social media, this one is a show stopper!  If you dont want to get noticed, this is not the car for you!

2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo gets official

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Behold the 2014 Nissan GT-R as dressed by Nismo and inspired by the GT3-spec race car that competed in this year's Nürburgring 24-hour race. Called the "ultimate iteration of Nissan's GT-R supercar," power goes up by 55 horsepower to 600 hp with updates like high-flow, large diameter turbos, and torque is "over 480 pound-feet," which means it's risen by at least 35 lb-ft.
Helping to keep it right-way up and pointed in the right direction are a race-tuned suspension with a larger, hollow anti-roll bar, custom Bilstein DampTronic dampers and the use of high-rigidity bolts. Outside, a new aero package from the wider front carbon bumper to the carbon rear spoiler above a longer, tapered rear bumper creates an additional 220 pounds of downforce at 186 miles per hour compared to the standard GT-R. Rumors of a 'Ring time of 7:08 abound, we'll get the truth - and we assume some video - very soon.
The bodyshell construction uses adhesive to improve rigidity, and behind those windows are carbon fiber Recaro buckets - in Europe and Japan, at least - and an Alcantara-wrapped wheel. It goes on sale next year, but you can get to know more about it right now in the press release below.

Infiniti is pulling out of Western Europe, cutting models

Tue, Mar 12 2019

BEIJING — Nissan's premium brand Infiniti has announced it will exit Western Europe early next year, as it restructures its global operations and focuses on the world's top two auto markets. Infiniti said it will discontinue the Q30 sedan and the QX30 sport-utility vehicle and cease their production by the middle of 2019 at Nissan's manufacturing factory in Sunderland, England. Both models are sold globally but produced only in Britain. The QX30 is sold in the United States. The move comes as Infiniti seeks to divert its resources to markets with bigger opportunities, such as China and the United States, from a region where non-European premium brands are struggling to compete against local players such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Nissan also recently scrapped plans to build its new X-Trail SUV in Britain amid the uncertainty surrounding Brexit, saying it had taken the decision to optimize its investments by building the next generation model in Japan. "Western Europe remains the most challenging and competitive region for premium cars," Infiniti's chief spokesman, Trevor Hale, told Reuters. Infiniti's sales in western Europe almost halved last year to 5,800 vehicles. In addition to the tough competition, the Japanese premium brand, headquartered in Hong Kong since 2012, has struggled to effectively meet emissions and other regulatory requirements in the region, Hale said, referring to stringent Euro 6 emissions requirements and other regulatory challenges. "The commercial reality for Infiniti in Western Europe is that there is simply no visibility of a viable and sustainable business, especially given the regulatory challenges," he said. Infiniti said an exit from Western Europe will allow it to focus on its initiative to electrify a good portion of its product portfolio from 2021 and discontinue diesel offerings. The brand plans to focus more on its SUV lineup in North America, bring five new or significantly-redesigned vehicles to China over the next five years, improve quality of sales and residual value and realize more synergies with Nissan. "This is all part of Infiniti's vision to become a top challenger brand in the premium segment," it said. As it prepares to withdraw from Western Europe, Infiniti said it is working to find alternative opportunities for employees who would be affected, consulting with employee representatives where necessary and identifying opportunities for transition and training support where appropriate.

As of today, Nissan has sold 50,000 Leafs in the US, 115,000 globally

Fri, May 23 2014

Watch out, America, there are 50,000 Nissan Leaf electric vehicles prowling your streets. That's the official word from Nissan, which says it has just delivered the 50,000th Leaf – a black SL model – to Todd and Lisa Bolt in Dallas, Texas. Todd is a pastor at the Gateway Church in Southlake, where there almost two dozen Leaf drivers who call themselves the "Blessed LEAFs Club." We're not making that up. Divinely inspired or not, Todd said in a statement that the EV completely meets the family's needs and that, "I don't know why we'd buy another gas car." Last September, Nissan announced it had sold 35,000 Leaf EVs in the US so far, and the 25,000 mark came in May last year. Globally, "nearly 115,000" Leafs have been sold, which makes Nissan's workhorse the most popular EV by a long shot. To celebrate the occasion, Nissan has put together an infographic (click to enlarge) showing the cumulative effects of all those electric vehicles on the roads. While they're only estimates based on taking the actual data from the CarWings connected vehicles (which make up 55 percent of the total fleet) and extrapolating, the numbers are still impressive. Around 906,000,000 miles driven, which means 241,000 metric tons of CO2 saved from going into the air. 50,000 Leaf sales is a big deal, sure, but we're much more keen on those cleaner air figures.

NISSAN DELIVERS 50,000TH ALL-ELECTRIC LEAF IN U.S. TO TEXAS FAMILY DALLAS (May 23, 2014) -- Nissan, the global leader in electric vehicle (EV) sales, achieved another milestone this month as Dallas residents Todd and Lisa Bolt made Nissan LEAF the first all-electric model to hit 50,000 sales in the U.S. The Bolt family took delivery of their black LEAF SL earlier this month at AutoNation Nissan of Lewisville. Thanks to enthusiastic owner advocates, robust public charging infrastructure and the launch of a successful free charging promotion, Dallas – and the state of Texas – have become hot growth markets for LEAF. So far in 2014, LEAF sales in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex have grown by about 50 percent over the previous year, with that growth set to accelerate faster thanks in part to the introduction of a new state tax rebate of up to $2,500 on the purchase or lease of a new Nissan LEAF.
