1986 Nissan Silvia ET review from UK and Ireland
"Pound for pound you won't get a faster car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starting problems - engine floods.
Mystery misfire that after stripping down the engine and rebuilding continued and one day disappeared.
General comments?
Very quick for its age. Did a twin fan conversion, using parts from a Ford Granada. Works very well.
Next project is to update the dash and seats.
