My car is 1993 Nissan S13 Silvia Q's manual. The car is a low volume import from Japan under the SEVS scheme. This means that the car was never sold from Nissan Australia, and that it was imported second hand from Japan. There is plenty of information available on this car, so I will detail only the relevant information on my car.

All-alloy 1998cc Four Cylinder

16 Valves (4 per cylinder)

Factory Rated Performance:

0-100 km/h: 8.5 seconds

0-400 m: 16.5 seconds

Top speed: Electronically limited to ~180km/h

 

Existing Modifications Performed in Japan

Full Apexi exhaust including 4-1 headers, 2.25 inch mild steel piping, super megaphone muffler with 4.5 inch tip. Please note that the resonator and muffler are not straight through design, but baffled. Also a generic Australian specification catalytic converter was fitted as required for ADR compliance.

SPATS rear strut brace

C's quick shift kit. Unfortunately this had to go due to an insurance companies demands, so I never drove the car with it installed.

Before compliance where an Australian specification air filter was installed, a HKS panel filter was believed to be fitted. This is evident by a HKS sticker on the airbox with servicing details.

 

In this state the car felt reasonable, not fast in any way but not too slow. Very nice and tractable and very easy to drive. By testing with a stopwatch and experimenting with different launching techniques and shift points, I managed a best 0-100km/h time in the low 9 second bracket. Hmmm, time to try and make it faster...
