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

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

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
