Importing S13 and S14 parts, What would you order?

[suncoastcustoms]

Hello all-

I am currently importing engines from Japan to the United States for resale, but I only deal with Honda engines and body parts. My exporter has recently gotten a source where he can supply me with S13 and S14 Silvia parts for importing to the US. I unfortunately do not have enough knowledge of the Silvia or 240SX. What parts would you think would be hot to import here to the US? Body parts, lights, interior, bumpers, etc.... What would everyone recommend that I keep my eyes open for in his inventory. Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Like someone else said, factory limited slip differentials - preferrably with a 4.083:1 ratio. &nbsp;This would come from an SR20DE or SR20DET powered S13 or S14 with a manual transmission. &nbsp;

The center taillight "garnish" from '89-'94 180SX seems to sell consistently, even though they're not hard to find at this point. &nbsp;Same goes for power folding mirrors from all models.

Things NOT to bother with: pieces that come off front cuts, with the exception of S13 Silvia body panels which are worth upwards of a grand for a complete set. &nbsp;The market's flooded with instrument clusters and front suspensions with no matching rear. &nbsp;The climate control units are cool looking but non-functional.

Alright

S13:--->

Silvia Front end: front bumper, healights, headlight brackets, fenders and hood

LSD: like AKA driver said (I want one!<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Center Garnish (Rear Panel): The center panel that says 180sx and/or the RPS13 carbon fiber backplate (very rare will sell for a fortune)

Rear Tail lights: The tail lights off the 1996 rps13 (rerelease of the 180sx) -( I would like to have this also <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> )

Rear Quarter Windows: The quarter window that has 180sx, in the us it says 240sx ( might sell alright)

SR20DET: The classic/famous red top engine would be worth importing

Type X: body/aero parts such as the wing and such

S14 ----- >

Headlights: The JDM s14a headlights are nice

S15: ----->

Front End: The s15 head lights, mounting brackets, fenders, hood, and bumper

Engine: SR20DET black top

as you can tell I own an s13 and want lotsa of things &nbsp;

Anyone else have any comments or requests? &nbsp;Then I can forward this message to the supplier and ask him what he thinks.

Thanks.

[AutoDestruct]

Yeah, help us get a good deal. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; please.

This would help us, help you.

Ok, so far I have the picture. LSD is going to be sent in bold to my exporter.

black top s13 sr's, black top s14 sr's (the neo VVL ones can fetch a little more), s15 sr's are always valuable item, red top's are a little more common.

definately get all the clips you can, ESPECIALLY with intact body panels.

like everyone else said, cant have too many VLSD's

type x taillights and body parts

s15 clips are a hot item too cause theyre usually pretty sweet for a front clip (pretty well intact with low mileage everything)

I fully agree with what everyone else has listed and would just like to add:

S13 Silvia factory AERO bumper <---- probably hard to find but you could sell as many as you had at whatever price you wanted!!!! &nbsp;the rest of the factory AERO bodykit would also be a huge seller.

Also JDM aftermarket body kits would be nice but the fitment on those tend to be not so great and people may get pissed at you if they buy them and they don't fit perfectly.

Let us know how it goes, especially if you get some S13 front end conversions (i need one soon)
