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

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
