Looking for offers around 24k negotiable.
2000 JDM Import 1JZ-VVTI S15
I'm looking at swapping to an Evo X for a more 'work suitable' car.
Since I've owned this car, I've funnelled a lot of money into it to make it the best possible street/daily car. It's incredibly torquey and fun & easy to drive.
Conversion was done by previous owner however I've spent a lot of time under this car, and the quality of the conversion is damned good. My Mechanic has carried out 1JZ swaps before, and couldn't fault the work done.
Car is modplated for the engine & gearbox conversion, road registered and fresh 6 months rego put on 4 days ago.
Chassis has 123,000ks on it and is perfectly straight.
Engine
Engine is stock, and comes on boost immediately. Cruising on the highway in 5th gear, if you touch the loud pedal more than 10% you're on boost.
Car was dyno'd by last owner at 265RWHP, but it's the torque that feels amazing. The VVTI 1JZ improved both fuel economy, and a 20% increase to low down torque.
Motor & Gearbox has 111,000ks on it, and had new HKS timing belt and major service at time of conversion (previous owner)
Oil and filter changed 1000km ago (Penrite 10W40 Racing Oil & Ryco Z418 Oil Filter)
Koyo Radiator & twin thermos - New Radiator hose installed last week 23/05/14
R154 5 speed Gearbox, Custom lightweight tailshaft to stock R200 diff
Brand new OS Giken Grand Tourer Twin plate clutch w/ hard metal front cover (custom made by OS Giken and took 3 months to get from Japan), rated to 700hp, incredibly quiet for a twin plate and super easy to daily drive,
converted from Push type clutch to Pull - This is a $2300 clutch and the best you can buy.
OS Giken lightweight flywheel & new high tensile flywheel bolts
New Spigot Bearing and Rear Main Oil seal installed at same time.
Penrite 75W90 Gearbox Oil
3" custom exhaust with highflow cat (one of the most beautiful sounding cars I've driven)
Turbosmart Boost Tee - only running 1 bar. Standard Turbo can run 18PSI reliably and standard 1JZ internals are good to 600-700hp.
Upgraded Front Mount Intercooler (unsure of brand but it's about as big as you can fit under the front bar)
Exterior
18x9.5 +20 Rota Dished wheels, 245/40/18 tyres all around
Guards rolled - no scrubbing
New front and rear tridon wiper blades ($100)
Stock Body Kit
Stock JDM Rear Wing
OEM White Paint in good condition. 1 small stone chip on bonnet. May have been resprayed by previous owner.
Interior
Brand new TRD short shifter & shift knob, imported from Japan - Cost $350
Custom Black painted interior (over stock interior's easily scratched silver) - Sound/heat proofed the trim at the same time
Defi Boost Gauge (previous owners - not sure if geniune)
Defi Water temp gauge (previous owners - not sure if geniune)
Viper Alarm System (LED Pager that alerts you when something goes on with the car up to 1 mile away) - Blue flashing light with sensors on windscreen says "Don't even think about trying to steal this car" - Alarm is freaking loud.
Real Carbon Fiber Centre Console (Gearstick & Radio Surround) - Cost $200
Suspension
SPL Titanium Pro Caster/Tension Rods ($300)
Blitz 32 way adjustable coilovers
Also have (not currently installed)
Dakota Digital Tachometer adjuster ($180 from the states) (common issue when swapping to a bigger engine and keeping stock dash, tachometer is out by 1/2, this is a plug and play item that adjusts it to the correct RPM)
Brand new in box Nismo 280k speedo ready to install ($350 from Japan)
Custom black leather & red stitching shift boot, arm rest cover and handbrake boot ($60 imported from UK)
Nismo strengthened clutch pedal bracket ($90 from Japan)
I have receipts and logs for everything I've spent on this car.
Comes with RWC

Wiper blades and arms :) But I agree, I thought it was a bit excessive at the time!

It was kinda an urgent thing, It was tipping it down leaving work and I couldn't see a thing, I commute a fair way and just wanted something quality. Having said that they're by far the best I've used (No screetching, jumping or leaving lines). As far as wiper blades go they look pretty good too.

Ordering them online I could have maybe saved $20 or so, but the situation didn't allow :)

Bump for offers.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
