my purple s13, up for sale!

need this gone now so may start removing parts this wkend and drop the price. as it sits at the moment:

Current spec:

ENGINE:

T28 Turbo with braided oil feed
Greddy Manual Boost controller
Blitz Induction Kit
Straight through exhaust, unknown brand, reasonably loud
Volvo Intercooler with custom pipework
Walboro fuel pump
Stage one chip

SUSPENSION/BRAKES

Lowering springs, unknown make
New EXEDY clutch (500 miles ago)
Welded Diff (properly done)
Subframe locking collars
Grooved, drilled and vented front discs
New Front and rear brake pads recently,
ABS completly removed, including unit from under bonnet (makes working on turbo side a LOT easier)

EXTERIOR

Nismo Bonnet vent, riveted on
Bonnet pins
Driftworks through bonnet tow hook
External pull cable for battery cut off
Rust free (complelty) bootlid. (does have spoiler holes in it that need filling though)
despoilered
de-wipered (all electrics/motors/etc removed)

INTERIOR

FULL 6 point rollcage with doorbars, currently padded with cheapo yellow foam
rear sound proofing stripped out, painted black
ALL wiring loom removed from the front to rear apart from lights/fuel pump
Rear strut brace
Battery cut off on center box
Battery relocated behind drivers seat
Fibre glass battery box, quick release clips for pos/neg terminals
Sparco bucket seat (drivers side)
SParco harness
Standard passenger seat
Nismo steering wheel
Snap off hub
Adjustable shift light
Push start engine centre console with 3x AUX switches.
Custom furry doorcards (youll love them or hate them!)
Handbrake grip tape
Driftworks Wide rear view mirror
Driftworks Handbrake button
Hello kitty JDM cupholder

WHEELS

currently sitting on Avez 16" 9j ET15 on the rear
Lenso 15" 7j on front

Depending on price, will also include
Another pair of lenso 15" (same as front)

Pair of 16" 7j dished wheels:

6 or so standard wheels, loads of rubber


In addition to the modifications ive also:

Replaced front brakes
Replaced turbo water feed
Replaced alternator belt
Replaced copper brake pipes
Fitted subframe locking collars
Changed gearbox oil
Changed clutch
Changed engine oil



It does come with a fair bit of service history, mileage is around 150k, however engine was rebuilt by previous owner around 25k ago, got reciepts for all the parts he used.

Now the bad points, it doesnt have any tax or MOT, and would need some welding to the usual places to get though an MOT, other failure i noticed is the rear ARB droplink is broken, but not an expensive fix! Its last MOT only ran out a few months ago so its not like its not had one for years, so can only need so much work!

biggest downside, is the turbo will need replacing soon, its burning a bit of oil and sometimes smokes, also one of the turbo gaskets is blowing. you can get a replacement t28 for around £150, or a standard t25 for £50 so not a massive job, i just dont really have the time and effort at the moment.

the engine as i say was rebuilt, i doesnt have any obvious drastic problems, it doesnt use any water, but its not the smoothest ive owned, the tappets are slightly rattly, but that aside, its not long been rebuilt, and its never let me down, so dont be put off.

it is pretty hardcore and noisy in the cabin with no soundproofing/locked subframe etc, so if your a pussy, you wont like it!

ive been as honest as i can, more honest than most would be as i want to sell this 2 someone for what it is, nothing more, it does need a bit of work, it is a bit of a dog but as many will tell you it skids awesomely! and ive had some great fun with it!

pricing

looking for £1000 as its sits without the rollcage.

or £700 without

roll cage
battery cut offs and relocation kit
replace bucket seat and steering wheel with standard items
replace rear wheels a pair of lensos (same as front)
replace bonnet with standard item
remove tow hook

or anything else can be negotiated to keep/replace

alternators, starter motors, driveshafts, front wings etc

and probably as much spare rubber as you can fit in

Good bargain skid car this, great for someone to learn in or someone who wants something a bit more capable than the average tramper worth it for the door cards alone!
