Last price reduction, I'm looking for £6500 on stock rims, £6900 on the Rotas or £7500 with the works.
Hi,
I've decided to sell my 1999 nissan silvia s15 due to my job being made redundant and I'm starting up my own business.
I cannot afford the fuel costs at present and I need a more econimical car. I'm after a newish 320d. Driving the car everyday (no motorway, all town driving) a full tank lasts me 2 weeks and 2 days (approx £90 super unleaded to fill) and that's not all sensible miles.
The car has been excellent and secretly I kind of hope it doesn't sell and that my business picks up enough for me to justify keeping the car.
The is mechanically sound, the engine has just been replaced 3 weeks ago by myself, (I bought a 42,000 mile s15 spec r engine) the reason for this was because the bottom end went on the old engine. At first i thought the noise was the gearbox so i bought a decent replacment gearbox and fitted. The turbo has also only been changed about 2 months prior to the car coming off the road and it's a t28r off of my mate 40k s15.
The engine is fantastic, no noises, runs great currenlty has valvoline 10w 60 i fitted 3 weeks ago. The gearbox is also excellent and i have put dw's own redline mt-90 gearbox oil in today. The turbo is also in excellent condition, no nicks on the blades, no abnormal play, no smoke or weird noises.
The car is taxed until 30 June 2012 and MOT'd until 3 july 2012. There are a few owners on the log book but that's only down to me having to transfer the car into my parents name and then back due to an outstanding fine i had (obviously all resolved).
I built the car with the intention of doing the BDC and with that in mind the car only needs the following to pass scrutineering - Plumbed in fire extinguiser, bonnet pins, cage and cut off's.
The car was dyno'd 3 years ago and made 316.7 bhp @ 7682 rpm and 278.6 lbft @5229rpm. This was with a standard t28, the tyres weren't gripping on the rollers (wet and no tread) and it didn't have the stainless mani, elbow or elephant trunk fitted. The car has so much more torque now and also has a new engine (newer)
i have a full set of takata green (one silver) gtr's 18 x 9.5 et ~ 35, these can be supplied instead for less price.

Bad bits
Last year i was hit from behind approx 20mph, all pics can be found here of the damage and repair thanks to Bryn

The car needs the front alignment done, the rear is awesome, very predictable and easy to keep it out when you want to. The alignment was done by Avia Autos in bridgend (the guy is amazing ex pro rally driver) however he didnt have the equiptment to do the front.
Some of the paint has come off the passenger side rear arch due to tyre delamination
The front bumper is missing a piece and has been fibreglassed, basically the body is in much better condition that what you would expect from a drift car. The car gets drifted once a month and as such gets maintained.
One last thing, i'm skint atm and i had two tyres lying around a michi and a pirelli i think and i just checked them on the rear, they are the same size tyres but one has slightly more thread and as such when you put your foot down the car slightly accelerates faster on one side and when you lift off it goes back to normal.
I just wanted to be as honest as I can and tell you everything as I hate people that try to catch you in life.
Insurance wise it costs me £925 fully comp and they know about everything on the car and it's covered, Only £77 a month. Tax is about £116 for 6 months and around £210 odd for a year (never bought a year tho)
Please don't diss the thread, if you have anything negative to say just don't say it. Not really looking for a swap as i really am after a 2006/7 320d just for a year or two and then hopefully i'll buy another s15
any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
thank you.
