Thinking about changing my mind (again :P want an 86 again), so putting this up to gauge interest.

It is an S13 which has been converted to run an RB25DET, and was running this arrangement before the previous owner blew the engine. The engine was removed to be rebuilt, but he decided to sell up instead, which is when I bought the shell, with the hard work for the swap already done. This includes:
Complete loom and ECU
RB engine crossmember and mounts
RB20 gearbox
Gearbox crossmember modified to suit
Tailshaft modified to suit
Complete 3" turbo back exhaust system

So essentially all that's required is an RB25DET to drop in and your good to go.

Other modications and items included:
Rear Tein shocks with King springs
Bride S13 drivers side rail
Cheap fixed back seat (head rest is broken though, will need to be repaired or replaced)
Skyline diff and VLSD
New 4 point harness (eBay Sabelt)
New alloy radiator
Momo Corse wheel
AVS rims (16x7 +30, 16x8 +35)

The interior is mostly complete, apart from the following:
Drivers side carpet
Centre console
Rear parcel shelf trim
the centre dash vent is also cracked

I have also done a quick touch up of the outside with rattle cans, as the previous owner had tried (poorly) to colour match the lower two tone section. It is not a professional job by far, but looks the part.

On with the pics!

Lights were taken off for the touch up, but are included.

Looking at $2800ono
Would obviously consider swaps for a Sprinter (stock or modified) with cash adjustment where necessary.

I'm located in Newcastle, and you can contact me either through here or on 0405 085 694 any time.

Yes, headlight and parkers were removed for when painting, should've put that in the add.
Price is reasonable considering how much RB swapped Silvias sell for. It is negotiable however, and I would rather it gone sooner then later, before I change my mind haha, so feel free to make an offer.

if it just the engine needed 2800 isn't that high considering you could sell it for 10k with the engine

Thanks, though I did have 3000 written at the time matt saw it, which I changed later, that extra 200 may have been a bit optimistic.
