Silvia price reasonable?

[PantherRacer]

does this look worth $9,400 to you guys? it's a 1997 Silvia MT 2 doors lol

(that's ALL the info my japanese site gave about that car and their silvias)Seems like they only give info for their skylines but I found a 96 GTR for 24,800! the rest are all over 40 cept for the 1990 one...sooooooooooooooo?9,400? 97 silvia? it'll take a while for me to get it :S

[Hijacker]

who are you ordering this through? It's very hard to get JDM vehicles through customs in one piece without going through a reputable importer here. And you still end up paying out the *** for it.

EDIT: I just noticed it only has 4 lug hubs. The K's all came with 5 lugs. Like our SEs. That's probably a Q's which comes with the NA motor, and not the turbo.

[PantherRacer]

AAAAAAAAH seeeee! that's why I come to you geniuses! the company I' m shipping through only charges 1,150, I have another that charges 1,100Remember I live in the Bahamas lol and my neighbor is a customs officer over here it's who you know lol

what about the 180 in my signature?

EDIT: and other that the lugs how can u tell between Q's and K's? cuz Silvia's have NO information whatsoever on this site

On all the pig nose S13s like the 180SX on your sign. has a Intercooler hole on the left of the bumper if it is a K (turbo)so air can get in.

I can't really tell does it have it or not!

[PantherRacer]

I wanted more than a 1.8 litre but that's about all I can afford now, I'll get a silvia K's front end conversion soon, ny suggestions on where to get one?

I wanted a jap anyway because they would be cheaper (and they're right hand drive ...we drive on the left here, plus they're cooler :Pface)

But I did find another 180SX K's (1990) for $1,305.48, the owner only added a turbo timer and 17" alloys...maybe some internals they didn't mention

CA18DET power for now!!!!!!!!!looking at that car it's a damn good deal

There's a badge right in front of the rear tire well. It will either have a Q or a K in the shield.

[Nismo_Freak]

Thats a Q's...

K's have 5-lug, the Q's are 4-Lug on the S14s.

The K's also have white faced gauges, K's badging.

That white 180SX has been wrecked and repainted.

[Hijacker]

how can you tell that car was wrecked?

[9095240SXDUCK]

the color is diffent from the door up!

[PantherRacer]

I could see the paint dont match, maybe it was wrecked...but my point is it's running and I can modd it....it's either that or a 125cc bike....motorbike-1,200 180SX-1,305.48

come on now!but do you think the damage was severe?

[9095240SXDUCK]

It really depend on where it got hit. I can they change the 1/4 panel and repaint it. You just have to open the trunk to see did it get hit from the back or side. If it got hit from the side. The car mind as well be junk because unless they change the rear sub fame. There is alot of stuff could be wrong. I would take it to a very good body shop around where the car is. And Spend alittle money to get it check out.

[Nismo_Freak]

Odds are it was a front impact and they blended the door. Everything lines up decently and there is a government standard for wrecked vehicles in Japan. Make sure you get a full report on all the cars before buying.

That 180 will be an R reg, and that Q's might be a 4, depending on milage, tires, etc.

[PantherRacer]

Thanks guys!

I'm definitely not getting the Q's, I'm fully looking forward to running a turbo...that's the only way I can keep up wit my boys now....even my prelude owning friend is running turbo now...

evoIII vs turbo H22 vs turbo supra engined altezza vs evo II vs N/A B16 .........vs SR20DE?I know I would be running at the back of the pack....all of these cars are modified for racing on our drag strip...and that B16 civic is the winning car of the all motor class....these my boys!!!!

being the youngest sucks! I gatta step up or get left behind!!!!!! no more ride alongs! seriously though, think that 180 is a good investment??? or should I keep looking?thanks again!

[Nismo_Freak]

Keep looking.

[PantherRacer]

I'll take your advice this time unless someone gats a better idea lol

[UncleBen]

I wouldn't chance the s13.
