Went to see the s13 today. Made up with it. Going to collect it on thursday.
Brief spec is 273bhp@ 1bar low boost, goes up to 1.5bar, forged rods and pistons with balanced crank, twin plate clutch, sorted suspension and all the usual extras. Proper spec list when the car comes.
Whats the story with standard VLSD's? Do they work at all? I want to keep it and get used to the car before i weld it up, but if its no good i may aswell weld it. Can you skid on them?

Its a pulsar turbo. Would that be a T28H? He said its a hybrid too, i presume thats the H bit. I might be interested in the welder? Ill try it without first. If it can hold a skid without then theres no point changing it. Ive no intention of doing any 100mph entries and transitions anytime soon, if ever Forgot to mention. The RS is half heartedly for sale. Im asking £3200 or £3500 with a brand new FMIC and HKS turbo timer to go with it. But if anyone on here wants it ill take £3000 or £3250 with the extras. Ill take offers on that too, but ovno. Hopefully the problem will be sorted soon.

Thats kinda Stage 3 then with that turbo - it will have bigger injectors (maybe 444's) and a Z32 MAF with some management

Ok, so i might be keeping the Essy then. My money situtaion isnt as bad as i thought, and after christmas a few keys things will happen. Im 22 in August, ill have 3 years no claims bonus and the money i borrowed to pay insurance on my card and the money i borrowed for the Datsun will be payed off. I should be able to get insured on both cars for under £1200 so i may aswell. Ill then take the essy off to a bodyshop to get the work done to it and then get it resprayed and keep it as a show car. I can use the Datsun for something to abuse. Im selling stuff i dont need such as old engines in the garden to pay for parts on the S13 and until Christmas im just going to start saving up like mad. All i need to do is finish fitting the interior, fit a new battery and sort out the running problem which ive tracked to the AMAL valve so far. Fit the FMiC and the turbo Timer. Im all excited now

I wish! As far as S1's go thats a proper sleeper, but its not exactly subtle. Imagine racing someone off the lights in that, squirming all over the road, with smoke coming from the rears, they wouldnt know what was going on.
Im 21 tony. Most places wont insure 'classics' until your 24 or 25. Thats my experience anyway from when i actually had classic cars, they wouldnt touch me.
