Skyline/200sx/s15 spec r wanted

[Coog]

Save your money on a rusty one and buy something from Japan which is N/A then convert it to either another SR20DET or else something funky.

To give you some scope on the sort of stuff you can get from Japan - This is my own S15 bought last year, off my head it cost around £3000 to my door. Prices have got a little more since then but it is still the cheapest bang for your buck way to own one.

And then with some work its now turbo and a few modifications.

If you are on Facebook message Alan McCrory from Import Wizards and have him find you something, he is fantastic to deal with and easy to pay, he will talk you through the whole process. If you have any questions about anything you can drop me a message.

See about half a dozen of these every day here in Osaka so must be plenty about!

That is awesome!

Great value also, great way to make it your own too!

Much would good engine cost and be fitted thou?

 

[ossy2004]

I'm assuming it was type s manual to begin with?

 

[TheDaniel]

I wouldn't care if it was a non-turbo, If it was a manual Spec S i'd go for it and drive it til it pops. Then RB time! lol

 

[ossy2004]

Are you saying theyre unreliable lol

 

[ossy2004]

I'd hate to price a decent rb engine

They’re better with an SR than an RB.

I don't know if I can take you serious or believe any thing you ever say, ever again.

This is the truth.

 

[TheDaniel]

I think you've all lost it lol

I like the SR don't get me wrong, I'd even buy an S Chassis and love it. The biggest issue is, it has 2 cylinders missing and just doesn't sound as good as the RB. I'm a jap guy til I die and would have an SR over most things, except any Jap 6 Cylinder.

I'll tell you better when my mates RB S15 is complete and compare it with another mates Spec R.

What's the budget?

 

[ossy2004]

Was hoping for £10k max so I have money to play with to tidy up and make it my own but hopefully cheaper.

It all depends on the car... wouldn't the first I went away over my set budget but for second weekend car I'm trying to be semi sensible.

What do UK s14a go for with 75k miles?

About a fiver. I'll do you a favour and take yours off you for a tenner seeing as your a long running member.

 

[ossy2004]

£5000 realistically.... advertised for £7500-£8000

 

[ossy2004]

If your considering selling send me some details etc

 

[ossy2004]

Must add, a clean r33 spec 2 would do the job also

 

[southsky sunrise]

Did you phone my man? He Took deposit on a spec R last night....

 

[ossy2004]

Yea, he was meant to get back to me with some details and pics but he didn't...

 

[southsky sunrise]

Send him a message to remind him. He’s a Busy man

Not thread hijacking but is it realistic (talking for myself here) to think I could get a clean sr20det s15 for 8k ?

@southsky sunrise

Anything’s possible. Deposit taking lastnight was realistic in every way. All circumstantial between you and the seller I suppose @da.murf bud

@southsky sunrise

The only way to get a clean one at that price is to import it yourself. For 8k here you may get one that requires a little work. A couple of my mates have them and I know what they cost, they're only going up too! Ask Alan at Import Wizards for a quote.

@southsky sunrise

Yes, as a fella I would know got an imported one for in around 5k. It was actually very clean, more or less standard so it was a good starting base. He imported it last year so umless the prices have drastically gone up then it should still be possible

 

[Smurf.]

5k for a det s15???
Id highly doubt that.
