Well here is my s13 silvia.. i joined cordiapower about a year or so ago, as i planned to buy a turbo cordia but decided against it in the end.. due to many factors - getting a bit on in age, interior and it was hard to find a decent one.. and also some guidence from Tailus.

well i brought my s13 silvia about a month or 2 ago here are some specs

- 89' nissan s13 silvia
- white over gold
- ca18de auto
- Custom plates black with white writing - slimline
- DRiFT Leather steering wheel
- Muffler
- Nism0 lowered springs [about 2inch]
- 15 inch late model 180sx rims [sprayed matt black]
- CD player and kenwood speakers
- also took of the mudflaps and rear wing + added some drift tape

I havent really had much of a chance to do many mods yet..
but i have big plans

current mods i have but are not fitted
- Pioneer 5650 cd/mp3 player
- pioneer component speakers
- soundstream T4-12 900Wrms sub

When i sell my other car [90' saab 900i] and my motorbike [125cc] will have some more cash to spend..

As soon as i sell ill be looking into a turbo engine upgrade and supension mods..

either ca18det + 5 sp or if i can afford it sr20det + 5 sp
I am planning to build the car up for circuit / mountain runs, with plenty of suspension and handling mods..

here are some photos, nothing to special at the moment but its Very low and so nice to drive, and handles extremely well with minimal mods..

#1 : Just at the car wash after fitting rims and nismo lowered springs.


#2 : Just on a bit of a cruise at some mountain in country vic.


#3 : With my mates lancer


#4 : Cruise shot again.. there i am at the back


#5 : Car wash at night


Other cars pictured include
- Honda : Integra Type R
- Nissan : Twin turbo 300ZX
- Nissan : N15 Pulsar
- Mitsubishi : Lancer

Hope you enjoyed it and leave some feedback

haha thanks for the comments..

doesnt look that low in photos but it is, or maybe its just cos im so tall [6"5' or so]..

but it does feel like u are sitting on the ground, the height of the seats would only be about 30cm off the ground..

car came with the shopping list, and i have removed it.. looked so weird bone stock s13 with shopping list hehe

dont worry wont be auto or non turbo for long as soon as i sell my other car, turbo / 5 sp is first on the list...

Before with shopping list


After without


Will keep you up todate.

thanks guys

always a fan of silvias, especially the s15's. But just curious, getting on with age the silvia is only a year younger than most ac's besides the rare 89's of course. And an 89 with an auto box wont cop alot of thrashing. Turbo and 5spd conversion will be pricey and probs wont be quikcer than a gsr But its all personal preference. Would look nice with some deep dish chromies. Goodluck and keep us posted!!!

Cordia owner again in 1 day....

just curious how much did u pay fo this......

purchase price was $3,600 with some rego and a RWC - normally 1.8ltr auto is about 5-6k

paint isnt in 2 bad condition.. paint is missing off the front bar.. but i plan (when i get some more $$$) 2 buy another one = $100 or so..

the auto is starting to get a bit tired but i always planned to replace it.

yeh i know it wont be as fast as a GSR,
but it looks nice, i like the interior, and it handles extremely well...and its rwd

engine choices-
ca18det || 1.8ltr turbo + 5 speed manual - conversion about 1.5 - 2k
sr20det || 2.0ltr turbo + 5 speed manual - conversion about 2.5-3k

dunno which way to go yet.. the sr is easier 2 get power out of..

but the ca is the cheapest..

thanks for the comments.. will update with picks and mod list when i get some more cash

id go the sr20..mainly coz its bigger, but its your car, your money so you can do what you please..
all in all looks good and id be intrested to see an update this future converstion

looks alright

if you want a stock front bar, or any s13 parts, you can contact alex. http://www.garage-13.com

i'd definantly invest in turbo + 5speed, though i'm not such a fan of sr20's having said that, hard to recommend ca18's either. My advise is buy a skyline!

Make sure you get rockerarm stoppers if you buy an sr, they're one of the main weak point in stock sr20's
