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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
