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.

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
