FT/FS 500 HP RB25DET Show Car Quality S13 Silvia Conversion AMAZING CAR

[Holloway]

I'm throwing this up just to see what kind of offers I get. I'm mainly looking for an E46 M3, 04+ STI, NSX, S2K, or Supra, G35, but I'm open to ANY offers. Just try me, worst I can say is no..

Willing to take cash + trades, or add cash for the right deal.

Asking price: I picked up the car for 15k, and then spent 7k+ over the course of 5 months. Assuming I only get half of what I paid for the mods and work since I bought it, 18.5k seems fair. This is OBO.

History on this car:
I bought this car from a member here in early June for $15,000 dollars. Since then, I've spent over $7000+ dollars making this car absolutely perfect. It is very fast, very reliable(took it on a 10 hour drive no problems), and absolutely daily driveable. I drive it to work every day 60 miles no problems

This car was built from the ground up to be a perfect daily driver with supercar killer performance, and I have done absolutely everything imaginable to make it damn near perfect. As you read through the mods below, you'll see that EVERY aspect of this car has been given attention to.

Every common failure in these cars has been addressed, and already replaced BEFORE failure, so you can rest assured that nothing will need to be done for quite some time.


New Pics are up! Zip ties you see in pic are temp supports for the bumper. When it got new tires it got caught on the lift and ripped the bumper a little. I was quoted around 100-200 to repair it.

And yes, she's dirty in these pics. I have 4 jobs, and do 18 hours a week in school, so I don't exactly have time to go out and play photographer boy, but if I get a chance I'll take a picture of her now that she's clean.

Bad:
~2.5 inch crack on the front bumper. Quoted fixes from $100-$200 at local body shops
Driver side door trimmings are beginning to come a bit loose. Not a big deal, but I'd put a little glue in there just to be keep everything looking clean
Speedo is not accurate due to wheels, 6 cylinder on a 4 cylinder tach etc. Just double what it says and your good(GPS verified).
FAST ;)
Driving may cause excessive attention from the ladies(could be a problem for the married folks) ;)

The car is currently set to 15PSI and probably making around 450-500HP. The turbo can do a lot more if you really want to, but 500HP in a 2500LB car is plenty for me. Easily capable of 600-700HP if you turn the boost up.

I'm located in Charleston, SC but I can drive to meet you pretty much anywhere.

PM me if interested

Thanks.

[s14sport]

hey, nice ride!

just curious what you mean by:

OEM stock forged pistons, rods and bearings ??

[Holloway]

hey, nice ride!

Thanks :)

The pistons, rods, and bearings were replaced by the previous owner around 2008 to freshen up the engine. He used OEM parts. I was told these came from the factory forged, but I may be mistaken on that. If any RB25DET experts know for a fact that OEM parts are not forged, hit me up and I'll change the listing.

[s14sport]

Rb25DET OEM pistons and rods ARE NOT forged.

was the fuse box wiring under the hood ever fixed? the last time I saw it the wiring looked like a rat nest. also, the CAS had to be unplugged and plugged back in to get it to crank up, was that fixed as well?

[97nismo]

You paid a lot for that car bro, i think show quality is a bit of a stretch though

glws i hope you get it, do you have any undercarriage pictures to justify the price

just trying to help you out a bit

[Holloway]

Guessing you didn't read my original post. I've spent 2k on custom wiring since I picked it up(with receipts), so yes, these issues are fixed.

[powerdbyRB25]

just curious but do you have evidence to back up the claim of 500hp? dyno sheet, maybe a vid?

[onehundredoctane]

I've spent 2k on custom wiring since I picked it up(with receipts), so yes, these issues are fixed.

2k. . . as in $2,000???? on "custom" wiring?? You got ass raped son.

All that aside, GLWS, I remember it putting me back in the seat last time I rode in it, hope you get what your looking for out of it.

Sorry, actually $1500. And the car was in the shop for 57 days. I dropped it off and said make it perfect. A lot more than wiring was done, but the wiring part came out to about $1500.

And no, I don't have proof of HP, but 15 PSI on this motor with a T70 should be good for around 450-500HP. I doubt anyone who drives it would doubt me :bigok:

[MikeisNissan]

everythings nice but the wheels!

[onehundredoctane]

Showzone in Ladson, SC should have a dyno sheet on file. Possibly under the name Steve Billingsley, or the business name Radicals.

[nOaAAa]

IMO i would strongly reconsider that price your asking... this is not show quality... have you ever seen a show car with a cut up bumper, 4 luggin on stock brakes and sport-max, interior parts coming off, unpainted door jams, zipties holding parts on, etc etc... zilvia is a hard place to sell cars, many haters (as im sure im coming off as one) but if you put accurate details and are reasonable on your pricing the flaming isnt too bad

dont get me wrong this car is a great start to a "show car" or a beast of a street/strip/drag/drift car... selling a car on speculations (500hp with no dyno sheet?) and hot air filled promises doesnt do this car or you credit... its just not in the realm of cars your price is suggesting for a s13 IMO... just saying, i apologize if im being the a-hole flaming on your thread but you have to be conscious of the things youre lacking to sell a 18.5k caliber car!

GL with the sale none the less...

[beastka101]

not worth 18k, u have alot of wrong facts about your car. the rear wheels arent 10inches, and just because u have a big turbo doesnt mean u can have 500whp. the great thing about this is u have ac, other than that this is a 6k car. u have knock off wheels, and coils, and a silvia front. nothing in here is worth 18k. i would look around the fs thread, and adjust your price accordingly. sorry, but if you paid 15k than u got ass raped. and if u spent 2k on a harness u have more money than u know what to do with it. glws

[Holloway]

lol at the zilvia haters. 6k car...I've spent 7k on this car in the last 5 months alone. Sadly few people here know what it costs to build a car right. Ghetto rigging things in your backyard isn't the same.

All the wiring was done with solder and shrink wrapped.

Door jams are clearly painted matte black, as is the engine bay.

I'll check if Showzone has a dyno, but I usually have a hard time finding records there on things over a year old.

[jparker7]

Interested in any trades. Over 20k in this

show zone does have a dyno, but if i were u i would hit up AV engineering. they are on dorchestor and they are a great shop,

[itsguyguy]

OP is asking for $18.5k OBO, it's his car and he can ask however much he wants to.

Although there has been stated facts against it, regardless it is still his car to sell for whatever price he is asking for.

He may ask for $18.5k, but very unlikely anyone will cough up that much for this S13.
(having a cut bumper, stock brakes, questionable choice of coils, wheels, etc)


Stop flaming this guys thread, if you have nothing good to say, don't say it and keep moving.


I'm sure if I wanted to sell my car for $20k I wouldn't get it, but it's my right to set the price at whatever price I think is fair, although it might not seem fair to any of you.




OP, just to clarify, it would be better to state facts.
XXR 921's go up to 9.5 wide, not 10.
T70 doesn't exactly mean 450-500hp.
$1500 for custom wiring at a total of 57 days seems unlikely, unless you just got straight ripped off and the guy(s) working on the wiring did about 45 minutes a day.
What exactly is a massive front mount intercooler, I know there is 3", 4" and customs, but massive?
Authentic Silvia seats? They look like S14 seats with the Silvia logo stitched in the headrest.

Yeah, I already fixed the sizes.

I've no made guarantee's that the car is making exactly 450-500hp, but with the mods and motor, it should be around there. It's not like it has a T-70 and no supporting mods. It's got everything it needs.

I'll measure when I get a chance, but the intercooler is probably 4 inches deep, and it's just massive. Biggest intercooler I've ever seen. Imagine the dimensions you see from the front shot, and 4 inches deep :)

The seats are very oem looking. The "Silvia" part is not sewn into them, it's a part of the seat. They are black and feel like velvet, real soft. They are NOT s13 seats, and not S14 seats, as I've owned both. I'm told they are authentic Nissan Silvia seats which I don't doubt. The closest thing I've seen to them were S14 Silvia seats, which look similar.

The car was in the shop for 57 days, and wiring was a small part of my bill. A lot of the time was spent waiting on parts etc. The wiring part of the job came out to $1500. Hopefully that clears up all questions about my wiring. Again, I HAVE receipts.

The reason I don't know every minor aspect of your car is because I didn't build the entire car, I bought it. I'm trying to do my best to make things as clear as possible, but again I don't know EVERYTHING about the car.

[onehundredoctane]

OP is asking for $18.5k OBO, it's his car and They look like S14 seats with the Silvia logo stitched in the headrest.

The Silvia logo is airbrushed on the head rest.

[jdm2191]

18k seems to be alot.....The paint doent look like $3000 paint job? Your r33 bumper looks like it's going to fall off & your rolling on $400 Sportmax's :tweak:.....

May I ask what does this car make "Show Car Quality" ?? your exterior and interior is far from "Show Car Quality"... I mean you didn't even fucking vacuum your car when you took that pictures... WTF?

I dont care how much you are asking because it is up to you either ask too much or too little.
but I think you should not be false advertising at least....

[Captain Dan]

this is jeremy's old car?

ive seen it in person... it is clean, but not worth anything close to 18k. If youre seriously trying to sell it, ask 11k and you might get 9k for it.

I'm just hoping this guy gets even half of what he's asking. It gives me hope that someone will buy my car lolz!

[neo240sx]

Look big money. You should have ordered a new gauge holder for the vent space. They got them on ebay that have spots for 3 gauges instead of 2, you got cracks in the dash, and there's no way your car weighs 2500 lbs. With that setup it probably weighs more like 2850 with no driver. The bottom end isnt built so I'd feel bad for the guy that tries to make 700 for long and other then that it looks pretty clean. I just hope some kid doesnt come by and cut the zip ties so your bumper falls off. GLWS

you have cheap wheels, your interior is in bad shape, and your bumper is held by zip-ties? cmon dude. you're lookin at a solid $11,000 car no doubt. it's nice but not show quality/18k nice.
