1988 Nissan Silvia K's review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best bang for your buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
My now has Silvia has 220hp with a three inch cat back exhaust, K&N performance injection kit, bleed valve running at 14psi, blow off valve, front mounted intercooler from a Mitsubishi Galant VR4 and an air oil separator.
The automatic gearbox is killing performance but it will still pull low six second sprints to 100km which is enough to embarass WRX Turbo owners.
Struggles for traction in first with 235 tyres on the rear.
