Contemplating the idea of giving up on my project and moving on in my career without having this looming over my head preventing me from progressing or moving else where for work...


I've owned this 2002 model Nissan S15 - Spec S GT model for a little over a year, from what I can tell I was the 2nd owner of the car and I bought it completely stock.


I had intentions of putting a 2jz-gte with turbo 400 trans so nearly everything was removed from the car to make it happen.


Positives about the car;

+ 2nd owner

+ Completely stock

+ 96,XXX kms

+ Still has rego for about 5 months (recently renewed)

+ Overall body and interior is quite clean for the age of the car

+ Since installed a r33 gtr diff with axles, gk tech rear suspension stuff, solid diff mounts

+ New rear brake pads


Negatives about the car;

- some of the loom was a little hacked to make way for smart wire - since purchased a 2nd hand one to replace

- stock transmission mount was removed, plates have been welded on the inside of the body for the th400 - not the best job but should work okay

- trans tunnel around firewall got a real good beating with a hammer for th400 clearance, unlikely to notice once engine and trans is in

- battery tray was removed from engine bay

- bashed the stock brake booster in an attempt to get the stock twin turbo set up to fit in the engine bay, I have bought an undamaged replacement unit which is included.

- battery relocated to boot, boot carpet cut and holes were drilled to install battery tray, happy to include the tray in sale

- some additional holes around trans tunnel and engine bay from removing spot welds (from drilling)

- need to replace fuel sender loom from within the fuel tank as plug was cut when making new fuel hat. This should be easy enough to find.

- requires new fuel lines, I have stock fuel hat which is sitting in the car with stock fuel lines that are only good for about a metre or so before they are bent (removed from a written off S15)

- will require power steering lines

- a couple of small dents in the body work here and there but none that will immediately draw attention (car is nearly 14 years old after all)

- it is a rolling chassis, bring a tow truck / trailer

- stock brake rotors are a bit shitty, would require replacement soonish - passed safety certificate when I exchanged rego from interstate but it was bought to my attention from the mechanic that looked over the car

- car is in bits and pieces with numerous interior and exterior parts removed, probably lost / broken a couple of the small clips that hold interior parts in place


There is probably a bunch of other stuff I have missed out explaining but I think they are the main things that come to mind.


I am looking for around 10k ONO for this.


Weight of the car is around 1260kg so under nocop biggest engine sizes for an engine swap are 6300cc naturally aspirated or 3780cc forced induction.


When it's bolted back together it will look like this;

I have a few other extras like the evo 8 brembo calipers with adapters and dba 4000 series rotors and a 2j engine if someone was interested in doing this conversion (will include the engine mounts). This isn't included in the sale price but I am happy to include at an additional price.

Thanks

Yep, sure am.

Selling a registered australian delivered spec s gt, 2nd owner, for 10k ono.

Problem?

Keep your comments to yourself if you're not interested in buying!

Big thanks to PWND for his awesome 5-6k offer without even viewing the car because he's one hour away.

Sell this for 6k, replace what's needed for $2500 and sell it for 14k?

Who is the dummy here?

Cheap dream boats need not apply lol

Id take the 6k! All adds up getting it back together - not to mention the time! Been there and done it! Probs better off parting it

So would I, considering it's not an easy "drop 2.5K of parts and off you go"

Trans tunnel has been bashed, trans mount welded up, spot welds removed and need rewelding, (And then painting)...

I'd def take $6K on it.

6k is a f**king insult.

It's piss easy, everything bolts back in and a couple of rosette welds for the transmission support bracket. Absolutely nothing needs to be painted. A bit of mechanical knowledge is all that's needed.

Show me any S15 like this that's sold for 6k

Anyway, not that it matters. It's no longer for sale.

Cheers

eat a dick

I didn't offer you the cash. I politely asked how much movement yo had on that price, as I didn't want to waste your time or my time driving for an hour to view a car if you weren't flexible in asking price. I told you what my budget was and waited on an answer. Instead I got a thinly veiled insult.

judging by the above replies, it wold seem I should have budgeted for even less

so, as I said in my message, I retract my expression of interest in the car, and now take this opportunity to once again kindly tell you to eat a dick.

By the time you've bought another engine and box 3-4k depending where you get it, clutch if motor doesn't have one 500, fuel sender 50, as well as fixing wiring and all the little bits and pieces need to get it running properly as it sounds like a hack job and time to reassemble everything you've spent 15,000 plus, not including the effort to go and source everything missing, anyone can by buy a half decent unpacked s15 for that

id sell my s15 for 12k only 110xxxkm rb25 gearbox, also has an engine, trans tunnle is untouched and all welds are in place. Also its a spec r and has rego.

I sold my old s15 for 6.2k complete just no body kit and no reg

I don't give a f**k.

Mods, for the 3rd f**king time, do your f**king job and lock / close this thread.

Keep your pants on and stop crying about selling bits-a-shell for 10k.

Busy in my own career to lock it, done now.

Won't be deleting it though, we don't roll like that.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
