Ohh that rolls hard, I love it. Something very appealing about a purple car with a golden engine bay.

Doesn't look like a KA24 to me, at least from pictures on Google.
Looks like a V8 of some kind looking at the inlet and how there appears to be two cam covers.
Similar colouring to what I want to do as well!

Didn't realise Nissan made V8s ;D Interessting detail from Wikipedia: "The VRH engines also formed the basis for McLaren's M838T engine used in the McLaren MP4-12C supercar."

I love nearly everything about that...but can't get my head around the welding in the engine bay, all tack welds with no stitching...odd.

I was going to say there's someone on No Skool Just Cool building one of them, but I was wrong. It's a Skyline:  With a little added extra ;D  The S13 is lovely. Great choice of powerplant and a cracking colour scheme, gold and purple works incredibly well. |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

Usually not much into these (is it actually even a S13? ;D), Can't see the back of it, but if it's a coupe, then it's known as a PS13 due to the front-end swap. |

Its an S13 Nissan silvia... basically a 200sx but a coupe version. The coupes had fixed headlights. S13 versions: Fixed lights and coupe back = silvia (standard) Fixed lights and lift back = sil80/sileighty (custom - although kinda commissioned/500 official ones built by kids heart) popup lights and coupe back = onevia (custom) popup lights and lift back = 180sx or 200sx. (standard) All s13 200sx had the CA18 (de/det) engine where as the early 180sx had a ca18 and the late 180sx had the SR20det (red top-non vvt) Other variations of swapping front ends between different s-bodies are a well practiced mod and.. well essentially make a cool build! |
