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.

Sunday 26th October 2025 4:30PM Meeting Waterfall Station Parking 5:00PM Cruise Departure Royal National Park > Lawrence Hargrave Dr > Memorial Dr > Sid Parrish Park 6:15PM Arrival at Sid Parrish Park Figtree Meet Location: Waterfall Station Parking Final Destination: Sid Parrish Park RSVP: https://forms.gle/E4s5SiRKQfDdypky8 *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
