Hello,

Up for sale is my 1999 JDM Factory Aero S15 which I've owned for roughly 2 years and am the second owner since import. The car has had some panel damage done to the car and although it is to the roof which a lot of people tend to run away from I've been told the repairs are not as hard as most think.

The car currently has damage to both front fenders which can easily be replaced, along with a deep scratch on one side of the bonnet though the rest of it is fine, the aero front bar unfortunately has also been damaged but is again repairable by someone knowledgeable.

There is damage to both sides of the roof along the rails but if you come to inspect in person you will see that it is nothing structural and only external panel damage, the cars still straight drives no different but can be a bit ugly on the eye close up.... Some say shes a good from far but far from good, although it still manages to turn heads the state its in. :lol:

This is all noted and the price adjusted due to the damages.

Below's the mod list which can be tweaked to help lower the price, remove shit you don't want as everyone's taste is different.

Engine

160,000 Km's (genuine at least...)

- Redline shockproof gearbox oil, Clutch replaced with Extreme HD clutch and lightened fly roughly 60,000km ago (receipts included)

- Serviced every 5-8,000km with 10-40w fully synthetic Penrite, ryco filters both fuel and oil.

- Greddy FMIC with custom piping made to reroute it next to the battery hole to save needing an engineers for an unnecessary hole, no it is not a return flow setup like arc but simply runs piping down next to the tray and under the chassy, never had it pop off or rub a hole so I'd say it's flawless. (spare stock cooler to be included)

- Greddy Profec B

- Aftermarket Dump & front pipe

- GKtech Catback system (4 months old) includes silencer to really tone down the system

- Trust Pod and intake pipe

Suspension/Wheels

- Cusco Zero2R Coilovers which are base/spring/damper adjustable(50,000km roughly) (stock s15 suspension to be included)

- 18" Drifteks (32+ish) with new n6000 tyres up front (+30mm bolt on gktech spacers up front)

- DBA Slotted rotors (30,000km) + General GT bendix pads.

Exterior/Interior

- Dmax rear duckwing

- Vertex side skirts & vertex rear bar ( have both stock rear bar and skirts spare)

- Nardi Steering wheel (factory airbar jdm wheel to be included)

- Fake defi gauge (accurate but can include factory gauge also)

- Trust gear knob

- Yashio factory copy rear tinted tail lights, full plug and play no hard wiring needed.

- New (1 month old) Alpine head unit, with front and rear speakers.

I've loved this car and still do regardless of the damages, its been a beauty to drive and only ever let me down when a coolant line to the turbo went and has been replaced with braided line, other then that it's never missed a beat, starts first time, every time. But as I am more then likely moving to remote qld island for work by march I'll have to need for the car and the ongoing costs of rego etc and have no where to store it so it's time to place it up for sale.

Any questions or anyone wanting to come inspect it feel free to call me as to arrange a time suitable, I'm on holidays for a remaining week and after that the car will be available to be looked at after 5pm weekdays.

$11,000 ONO, includes all mods,stock parts and 12 months rego. NO RWC, can get one organised if need be but at your cost.

Mobile: 0401 253 184

Cheers

Trent Reid

Nice car mate, looks mean.. I dont mean to be a troll but I cant really see anyone dropping 11 k or so on this with the current damage on her.. maybe it would have been better to fix the damage and then try and sell, obviously everyone is in a different position though. That's just my opinion anyway, it might be different over there in Vic. You mentioned in the add that the repairs are not as much as people would think.. How much would one be looking at to have her in top condition body wise again? I'm no expert in the smash repair game which is why I am curious and asking and it may also help your sale if someone who isn't as knowledgeable when it comes to body repairs is interested.

Nonetheless good luck with the sale and free bump mate

it looks like someone got a baseball bat and just started taking their anger out on the car :(....

awesome car, So sad to see something like this happen to it.

Gl with sale, love the front bar also. looks really good, much much better than the stock ones.

thanks for the kind words guys iv been quoted between 2 - 3k for repairs from dt panels which are well known for the top notch work on various vic 15's

Worst case I'll be keeping her, I've got a feeling she knows i want to sell her and been driving like a dream the past couple of weeks so I'm slowly falling back in love with the car so will see what happens had plenty of close offers but I've got to part with it at the price I do otherwise there's no real point for me..

thanks again though !

to be 100% honest the car was put through a cyclone fence at roughly 20km/h hence the damages arent bad, neither windscreen broke or crack as to show how slow the impact was its still got the jap rego sticker on it and retains the factory rubbers to prove my point..

the car in no way at all is a write off or on the registry, feel free to check it on the vic roads website, can supply vin's and engine numbers what ever you need as there is nothing to hide here...

if your serious about purchasing best to come look at the car your self in person and you'll be able to understand the damages a lot more.. or feel free to call me and I'm happy to discuss anything that may puzzle you.

thanks again

Bump...

Had alot of interest but as usual alot of tyre kickers and so forth.. most of the true interest is coming from interstate which is strange but fine by me. Feel free to call me to discuss anything.

Cheers

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
