1. two 260cc subs not hooked up. Probably in there just to plug the holes.

2. no difference worth worrying about .

3. nope, sure ain't.

4. yes.

5. not always but it doesn't really matter.

6. the engine may have come from an automatic car, they came with sandwich oil coolers hooked into the cooling system.

State legal doesn't equal federally legal. You would be in the same class as those guys sneaking GT-Rs through Florida. If that doesn't bother you proceed.

some things that make me think it really is from japan are-no sidemarkers on front or rear-wiper motor is on left side-it has the foot rest by the clutch

and to try and answer your questions

1. 2. dont know why he would say sr swap if its a real silvia3.definitely not an r32 seat4.he might of crashed the original one5.dont know6.never heard of a factory oil cooler

i believe that the title means that its a grey market car so its not 100% legal.

the swap is mentioned because it was a Q, the turbo motor comes from a K.

The firewall looks original and the vin stamped in it starts "PS13" which is correct.

are those oem or aftermarket fog?? it's probably the same for 240 ( not sur cause I never had one) but there is no check engine in the dash...so it's normal there's no check engine light...

anyway..a bit $$$ for that s13 but looks clean...and the 2 injectors??

Silvia's other then the K came with non turbo SR20, the K the only one with the SR20DET.

the two holes on the coldpipe could be for methanol injection (possibility, have seen same kind of piping for methanol injection, not stating it is correct)

It is a Grey market car, buyer beware.
