Hi all,

I'm in the market for a second car for a little fun, and I've had my eye on a S15 for quite some time. So figured i'd put the word out there, i'm looking to buy one. (Note: I could also be keen on a 32GTR, but it'd need to be in awesome condition - Silver in colour).
I'm not looking to spend "top dollar", but i'm not going to low-ball you either. If that perfect S15 does come along, I will pay extra, but in the couple years I've had my eye on them, I've only ever seen one that was "perfect" to me, and I kick myself every day for not jumping on it.

Ideally the S15 will be in good overall condition, not looking for one with a lot of KMs, but exceptions could be made depending on how she's been treated, and rebuild history etc. Interior needs to be pristine or close. Exterior similar, I don't mind scratches or chips on replaceable parts like bumpers or bonnet, as i'd probably swap them out anyway.
As for colours, , it will vary on a car-by-car basis, depending on the wheel setup, kit, spoiler, etc. But as a general rule I like the black, white and blue S15s, aftermarket colours that will catch my attention are lambo orange, light green or MNP (something different than my plain white evo 10 ^_^ lol).
As far as mods go, I don't care - It can be stock, heavily modified, or anything in-between, the points listed above are more important to me, as i'd rather slowly build up the mods myself over time.

Best way to get in contact with me initially will be PM.
I'm located in Perth, WA.
Thanks for taking the time to read my long wanted add, as a reward for your kindness here is a cat being an asshole.

Price reflects on a car's condition in 2nd hand car market. Top dollars = top condition. Sounds like you want a top condition 32 gtr/s15 and yet not wanting to invest much. My advice is don't waste your time in cars that old if thats what your plans are. You will not find an "awesome" condition r32 gtr with 15k to even 20k. There is a genuine aus spec r32 gtr in your so called awesome condition for sale at 85k. That is with TRUE low mileage, stock, immaculate interior/exterior.

... Thanks for your input, But you have no idea of my funds or capacity to buy, I've seen individuals asking $30k from time to time for their so called "mint" S15. So that's what I meant when I said i'm not paying top dollar, I'd be more than happy to drop 20k on a nice S15, and they are widely available for this price, though not many in Perth right now (on carsales, gumtree etc) Thus being why I've posted this add. Secondly, i've noticed that the quality of cars to come out of SAU to be generally pretty good, so i'd much rather buy through here than off some shady lad on gumtree. I probably should have made this a little clearer, with regards to my intention to spend. My bad.

As for the GTR... Why would I buy an Aus spec GTR? I'm not a collector, It has no value to me outside of it's performance, and a JDM would be much more cost effective, and perform better (in most modded cases). You've taken my add a little too literally, when I say awesome condition when it comes to a 32GTR, I simply mean no dash bubble, no major rust, comp test with decent results, and just generally doesn't look like shit.

Thanks for the comment though, I'll keep what you've said in mind :)

Bump, Also just want it to be noted that I have funds SORTED. There will be no buggering around with finance etc, I have enough currently sitting in my bank for ten S15s

I've got a clean 32GTR

Listed here

Price is neg

Looks really nice, You've kept it in great condition. But not in WA (I'm hesitant to buy from out of state for several reasons, it's a lot of effort to fly to and from, i'd have to get it regod here, roughly $2k on transport, It's a lot of extra work so i'm only interested in local cars for the moment. If I start having trouble i'll expand my search to all of aus), and not silver. Thanks anyway mate.

Also here is an example of a S15 that caught my eye, if anybody in perth has something similar contact me asap :P : http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/nissan-silvia-1999-14591654?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=1&eapi=2&__N=1246%201252%201247%201282%204294963846%204294966407%201216&num=15&silo=Stock&sort=LastUpdate

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
