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.

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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
