I dont see too many Rwd CA clips on the websites out there.....but i would figure $2k-$2.5k on the low to middle end with un-useable fenders. If u find a broker in japan they might source you a running car and cut it in half for you....getting u a silvia conversion, RHD conversion, suspension, and vlsd in the process....and as long as they dont ship it wrong the conversion will still be useable when it unpacks. For that price though you could also spend a little more and get a slightly newer s14 SR clip too. Back in the day before the importers got greedy clips came with strut tower bars, coilovers, hks turbos, etc. Now....not so much....unless you get the whole car and have it cut.

Yeah, if you buy from Venus (or any other junkyard importer) make sure you hand pick the motor IN PERSON with a mechanic friend present.

Hell, you might even be able to start the clip up with a little help from the staff.
