My S15 is very reluctantly up for sale.
Ive had it since the end of last year, and have only just finished it to the spec you can see below. Why am I selling it now ive finished my dream car? I want to get some money together for a mortgage, so im keeping my old corrado and selling the S15 as ive put a lot of money into it, and feel almost scared to use it now! On top of that, im self employed and find myself running around in my van all the time, so it doesn’t get used enough for the amount its cost.
Onto the car. It’s a 2002 Spec S, that has had an SR20DET and manual gearbox conversion from a low mileage S14 (66k, still have the rest of the front cut with clocks) The engine conversion has been carried out very very carefully as I never intended to sell this car. I have retained the ABS and Aircon which are commonly lost with the conversion, the wiring loom is mostly converted by repining connectors, and any other joints soldered and covered in adhesive lined heatshrink tubing. It will be as reliable as any other factory car. The consult port is wired in correctly for engine setup. The car also has a genuine S15 Spec R Helical LSD fitted.
I have noticed some talk on the forum with people questioning late model s15’s regarding the import testing. This car was imported in April 2004, which I believe was before the current testing regulations.
The car has had a good few quality modifications, all have been fitted in the last few months and the car has covered probably covered about three or four hundred miles miles since I have owned it so everything is basically brand new. The brake conversion has only just been completed and the pads bedded in:
Full 350z brake conversion front and rear. 324x30mm front, 322x22mm vented rear. The disks and callipers were from a car with 7k on the clock. The calipers were stripped to bare metal and finished in high temp 2k paint. Latest compound Yellowstuff pads front and rear and Apex Stainless braided hoses. S13 backplates/handbrake mech and new skyline handbrake cables. This is a huge amount of work and money, especially the rears which are documented on this forum, They work as well as I hoped!
HSD HR coilovers. These are absolutely amazing, I cant believe how well these ride on the road considering the fairly stiff spring rates. They are sitting the car fairly high at the moment as I have a lumpy driveway at home!
S15 Spec R helical LSD
Apex Steering rack mounts
Whiteline Poly tension rod bushings
Subframe locking collars
Front strut brace, not in the photos as I forgot I bought it and only just found it today!
There are a pair of genuine Spec R Aero sideskirts in the correct colour and perfect condition to go with the car. I haven’t fitted them yet as doing it properly means drilling the bodywork to fit the clips, and I cant bring myself to do it! They could probably be stuck on instead.
350z Forged Rays wheels, 18x8J front, 8.5J rear. These are seriously light wheels at around 8kg each
Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric tyres 225 F / 235 R
Front mount intercooler
Mitsubishi Evo 9 Recirculating dump valve
Blitz Induction kit
Mongoose 2 ¾ “ turbo back exhaust. Decat with original cat for MOT time.
Stainless exhaust manifold and turbo elbow.
60mm SR20DE throttle body
HD Stage 1a chip.
Poly filled standard engine mounts. These are pretty stiff, they are settling in now but ive got a standard set to go with the car in case you want to change them back.
Shortshift kit
OEM HID Dipped beam Units
Aftermarket 50W HID Main beam kit
There is probably more I have forgotten. The car is in excellent condition overall, absolutely no dents however small and no rust on the bodywork whatsoever. There are a couple of marks on the bottom edge of the front bumper as pictured. The interior is also excellent, the seats look literally showroom fresh. There is a tiny bit of wear to the centre console that S15’s seem to suffer from. The car itself has 72k on the clock, obviously some of these were in Km before import, so it has probably done similar to the s14 engine it has in it.
The most difficult bit is the price. Im putting it up for £8950 ono. S15 prices seem to be all over the place, and im sure this reflects their condition. I know this is not a genuine Spec R, but I know the condition of the car, the quality of the modifications, and more importantly the fact that everything is new as opposed to the half knackered stuff you get on most modded imports. I know some will think the price is steep, but i really dont think you'll find another S15 like it.
Any questions or if you want to come and have a look, please either PM me or give me a call on 07872898991. This is a works phone as well so out of work hours please send a tx first or I probably wont answer!
Photos in the next post hopefully :nod:
