Hi guys,

Up for sale is my long time ongoing project which is nearly completed - i have barely even enjoyed the new mods but due to my license being suspended for 3 months...i sadly have to sell it...it seems a waste to have my car sitting on the side lines for 3 months...rego, insurance, quicktrack fees, missed cruises and events :( etc etc...so i'm bitting the bullet and selling her...don't worry, i'm not going soft or anything :D - once my time is served, ill be back with something bigger and better :D

My car has been a project in the making for the past several months...in my eyes it's still not even finished and i had A LOT more planned for it...i still even have parts coming in from japan in another 2 weeks LOL...

I set out to make my car stand out from the rest, look nice, and perform well both on the street and track (i still haven't even gotten around to taking my car down the strip or around a track...but good times are guaranteed and expected...)

I have spared no expenses on this car. I am a very pedantic owner & look after my car like a gem. Anyone who knows me, will tell you how fussy I am with my car...and how stupidly crazy i am when pampering it...it seems every week i have something new for it :) ...its honestly seen more time in the workshop than on the road :O

There is more to it, but at this point in time, this is all I remember.

As you can see, I only use the best for my car & just the parts alone cost well over 30k, let alone the quicktrack, paperwork, bodywork & paintwork, rims, tyres etc etc and most importantly the labour and time spent on it - nothing has been spared at all for my baby.

The car was tuned by Chea and my mechanic Trung at Power Tune - if you need any validation of points you can ask them yourself in person. My apexi turbo is only rated at 380hp as it is a small turbo - on par with GTRS, T518z and the like yet more responsive.

With crappy tyres, stiff hsd coilovers (previous coilovers), and traction issues on the dyno - they managed to achieve a very responsive 272rwkw with 440Nm of torque. On NOS, they managed to achieve 290rwkw with 460Nm of torque.

According to Chea, the car is not laggy and very very responsive..."wtf...i have never seen anything like it...the thing just hauls ass man...comes on quick and hard...you'll be needing better rubber haha"

As a comparison...stock t28bb achieve about a very responsive 200rwkw and 400Nm, gtrs/t518z achieve about a responsive 240rwkw and 420Nm, big mumma gt3076 achieve about a little laggy 280rwkw and 460Nm.

We were all shocked and very pleased with this result as my turbo is small, and only expected about 230rwkw and 420Nm of torque...Chea believes there's still abit more left in it, and i will probably give him the car again for another retune to see what he can do with better coilovers and better rubber...

I'm willing to let her go for $45 000. PM me with whatever offer you have and we'll work out a deal whether that be sell as is, or sell without certain parts.

Any inspection is more then welcome - I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

If you have any questions at all, dont hesitate to ask me.

I would appreciate genuine buyers only. No test drives will be given until a deposit for the sale of the car is taken.

I dont know what to say guys...thanks for the emoticons ??? and kind words lol

Im using the standard nissan calipers...plenty of bite and good breaking power with the carbing bmc stopper, endless pads, and slotted discs - really does stop well for an s15 :whistling:

Edited by Phantom Snail

I would just about swap you my car for this if I wasn't so attached to it... actually, I probably still would :devil:

Have you got a dyno sheet for the 300rwkw? Or at least an engine bay shot?

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
