theres a limit to how badly you can get lashed for £6.50, and that limit is £6.50...

It's too expensive now - £7!!

darn, am gonna bid £7.50!!

Will let you guys know if i win it. fingers crossed!

Mark... there's nowt wrong with a Nissan Silvia, I am fitting one in my Dutton Malaga at the mo. I do have 2 others, that I am breaking, but no engines, as me and Donny Park in September are going for lift off!

8v, pretty heavy, runs out of injector capacity at 185bhp-ish (anyone care to correct) a 5th injector is a common mod for those not wanting to do their own induction system. As I recall the Sivlia (S12) uses semi-trailing arms a la Sierra/E30 3 Series etc but an LSD was not offered as an option

They engines were also fitted to the Reliant Sabre (http://www.scimitardriver.co.uk/ss1-sst-sabre.htm) and I remember an advertisment insert into CCC in the 80's when Nissan were flogging engines and boxes to kit/special builders.

For what it's worth, my SR20DE (I think) Primera engine is standard apart from LPG and has hit 9000 rpm

Good quality engineering.

Cheers,

Neil
