Here's the '65 Silvia. I'm thinking that this is a good deal. Pity I already have too many cars......

65 divided by 0.78 for 22% driveline losses (ie 100% less 22% = 78%), divided by 0.67 factor for KW to HP. The numbers aren't exact but it's close enough.

I'd just take it to Ruapuna drags and see what time and speed you do. The weight-shifted time/speed will tell you how much power is reaching the rear wheels, assuming you also know its weight (a weighbridge will tell you). 65RWKW suggests around 125hp at the engine. That is quite good for a 1600 I'd...

The dash would be metal not plastic on these (apart from the top pad), strip speedo. I prefer these earlier '68 and '69 dashes as the top pad is lower giving b...
