Just introduced myself on these forums so I might as well post my project ps13 up here.

I live in the Netherlands and bought the car in Germany with only 85.000kms (about 52k miles) on the clock but the big end bearings had gone allready and so the engine was stuck.






I completely stripped the car in search of rust. It is a very common problem with the 200sx's in Europe, fortunately virtually no rust turned up at all, not even under the standard wing which is quite rare, the car must have been kept indoors during its life in Germany. All good news .





ca18det went out




And stripped



Picked this out of the oil pan

jammed rod




Got some oem silvia s13 skirts, bomex type1 mirrors and fitted kouki rear lights and panels.


tomei steering wheel with hkb hub



I sold the ca18 in parts and bought another 200sx in Germany, this time a low mileage full option but side damaged 1998 s14a which came with the sr20det.




I sold the rest of the car in parts and actually made a profit, so I got the engine/gearbox, full loom, differential and brakes for free. This is what was left of the car when I was done stripping it of bodywork and bits.


Ordered a lot of parts from Japan and picked them up from the Rotterdam harbour

In Japan just outside of the rhdjapan office

In Holland

The box was also filled with rims to sell on and fund the shippingcosts and project a bit.


Work Ewing rims, 3-piece LP-cast spun rim 17x8et34, they cost me 67,- euros for all four in Japan
Also fitted here are the JIC FLTA-2 coilovers and JIC bullet catback exhaust


Partially resprayed the engine bay
