Howdy all!
As a new owner of a 1993 S13 Silvia, I thought it only proper that I join a forum. I'm currently living in Japan, but originally hail from So. Cal. While in the states I drove an NA RX-7 and loved it until I got rear ended and had to total the car.
I frequented some boards while I had my 7, so I'm pretty familiar with forum protocol (esp that of searching
) But it has been a while since I've been on any boards, so any net savvy I once had is all gone- like the sands in the hourglass, so are the... nevermind... 
Anyways, lets get to brass tacks. The beaut. I managed to get my grubby paws on is an S13 K's edition that has a 180SX blacktop. It has some pretty nice footwork, sporting an S15 five lug upgrade, racing springs, and sway bars (damned if I know the companies for either of those though). The PO told me it sports a Zigen exhaust which I'm guessing is in the ball park of 3.5. He said it also sports an LSD from an S13, but since he tracked the car a couple of times I'm guessing the ooey-gooey viscous efficiency is all gone. The interior has a racing seat with 3 point harness, turbo timer and temp gauge. I'm thinking of changing the seat out for an S14 since 1. It won't pass car inspection with it. and 2. I can't see a damn thing past the hood. Makes parking in tight spots really interesting.
If you're curious about pics follow the link for the gallery. sorry for not posting them here. Anywho, glad to be aboard!
