How Much Do These Go For?

[GTR Power]

just a quick question about non turbo s15 200sx's... How much would these go for? Are they hard to find? and are they quicker or slower than a non turbo r34?

cheers thanks alot guys

I don't think I've ever seen a NA S15 in Australia.

[Eug]

neither.. not unless it was a jap import - there wont be any australian released ones either.

there are (although quite rare) SR20DE S14s around...

power/speed/weight wise.. similar to an SR20 180 or s13 would be a safe guess

[GTR Power]

ooh k, i was sure id seen a naturally asprirated s15 before.. ooh well

[NA_R33]

They are around... JDM cars though and few and far between... S15's as eug said are very light so i imigane they would be compariable to a NA 33 or 34, they also got the new version SR with VVt.

NA JDM S15s used to be available in Australia before RAWS came out, don't think there are being brought out any more.

I don't see the point to them, may as well get a faster DC2 Integra Type R if you want a good handling NA coupe with high rev performance. I had a Prelude VTiR before and it was very chuckable around corners and had a strong top end.

IIRC They are called Silvia Varietta. At least its a good donor for a 26

Varietta = convertible

It came in NA only, but the S15 coupe was also offered in NA as an entry model.

is it possible to get a N/A series 6 rx7 ??

Spec S was the non turbo and Spec R was the turbo version in Japan. In Aus, they were both turbo but spec R had better options and a sunroof.

I have driven an NA S15 and that was slow as! Its ok i suppose but the Aus Del turbo version was much nicer. JDM was even better.

Havent driven an NA R34 before so i wouldnt know

You can't import regular N/A S15's (and they weren't sold locally)... BUT you can import Autech tuned N/A S15's. Which come with the Autech SR20DE which makes about 175hp. I wouldn't say they're much more faster than an R34. They cost about $23,000 and more landed and complied (plus rego costs etc).. although they're quite rare at that end of the price range. They're lighter than an R34 N/A, but the R34 has a 2.5L engine that puts out about the same power.

You can also import a S15 Varietta (convertible), but you won't be able to afford one (going by the budget you gave in your other thread).

Locally sold S15 turbo's are around the same price as the Autech N/A's but they're turbos n not good for P platers like you.

Lucky Autech is considered a manufacturer, or otherwise it'd still run afoul of the NSW P-plater laws that say you can't have a car where the engine performance is "modified".

technically as far as DOTARS knows "Autech" is a spec of S15, which is why the Autech N/A's are listed as a variant on the regular S15's sneaky sneaky

My understanding when reading....I can't even remember which magazine, probably HPI.....is that Autech's cars have their own VIN plates. They're not Nissan's. If I remember, it was an article about the Tex Modify tuned Autech Stagea 260RS.

Which makes them an OEM of sorts, so anything they do to the car is "factory".

So, they're like HSV / CSV down here. Those cars don't have Holden VIN plates, even though the donor vehicles are Holdens and HSV / CSV are technically different companies.

THATS SICK!

Meh, i took the easy way out and got a 32 gts. I'm sure alot of people have said this, but i'll say it again. Get a "Shitbox" learn on it, save money then buy whatever you want. Trust me, Practicing on my na 32 is good, i probably would of crashed if i had a powerfull car.

Yeah thats a hot looking s15... id deffinately consider one for my next car.. though it'll have to be a turbo =D

[scathing]

You must be really keen to own an S15 on a "restricted" license if you'll spend $30K on a non-turbo S15......

I suppose you can always sell it when you get your full license to another P plater who wants an S15 shape. Maybe it'll retain value better than the turbo ones for that reason, but your buying market will be extremely limited and P platers aren't generally reknown for having lots of money.
