Hi all,

I'm in the market for a second car for a little fun, and I've had my eye on a S15 for quite some time. So figured i'd put the word out there, i'm looking to buy one. (Note: I could also be keen on a 32GTR, but it'd need to be in awesome condition - Silver in colour).
I'm not looking to spend "top dollar", but i'm not going to low-ball you either. If that perfect S15 does come along, I will pay extra, but in the couple years I've had my eye on them, I've only ever seen one that was "perfect" to me, and I kick myself every day for not jumping on it.

Ideally the S15 will be in good overall condition, not looking for one with a lot of KMs, but exceptions could be made depending on how she's been treated, and rebuild history etc. Interior needs to be pristine or close. Exterior similar, I don't mind scratches or chips on replaceable parts like bumpers or bonnet, as i'd probably swap them out anyway.
As for colours, , it will vary on a car-by-car basis, depending on the wheel setup, kit, spoiler, etc. But as a general rule I like the black, white and blue S15s, aftermarket colours that will catch my attention are lambo orange, light green or MNP (something different than my plain white evo 10 ^_^ lol).
As far as mods go, I don't care - It can be stock, heavily modified, or anything in-between, the points listed above are more important to me, as i'd rather slowly build up the mods myself over time.

Best way to get in contact with me initially will be PM.
I'm located in Perth, WA.
Thanks for taking the time to read my long wanted add, as a reward for your kindness here is a cat being an asshole.

Price reflects on a car's condition in 2nd hand car market. Top dollars = top condition. Sounds like you want a top condition 32 gtr/s15 and yet not wanting to invest much. My advice is don't waste your time in cars that old if thats what your plans are. You will not find an "awesome" condition r32 gtr with 15k to even 20k. There is a genuine aus spec r32 gtr in your so called awesome condition for sale at 85k. That is with TRUE low mileage, stock, immaculate interior/exterior.

... Thanks for your input, But you have no idea of my funds or capacity to buy, I've seen individuals asking $30k from time to time for their so called "mint" S15. So that's what I meant when I said i'm not paying top dollar, I'd be more than happy to drop 20k on a nice S15, and they are widely available for this price, though not many in Perth right now (on carsales, gumtree etc) Thus being why I've posted this add. Secondly, i've noticed that the quality of cars to come out of SAU to be generally pretty good, so i'd much rather buy through here than off some shady lad on gumtree. I probably should have made this a little clearer, with regards to my intention to spend. My bad.

As for the GTR... Why would I buy an Aus spec GTR? I'm not a collector, It has no value to me outside of it's performance, and a JDM would be much more cost effective, and perform better (in most modded cases). You've taken my add a little too literally, when I say awesome condition when it comes to a 32GTR, I simply mean no dash bubble, no major rust, comp test with decent results, and just generally doesn't look like shit.

Thanks for the comment though, I'll keep what you've said in mind :)

Bump, Also just want it to be noted that I have funds SORTED. There will be no buggering around with finance etc, I have enough currently sitting in my bank for ten S15s

I've got a clean 32GTR

Listed here

Price is neg

Looks really nice, You've kept it in great condition. But not in WA (I'm hesitant to buy from out of state for several reasons, it's a lot of effort to fly to and from, i'd have to get it regod here, roughly $2k on transport, It's a lot of extra work so i'm only interested in local cars for the moment. If I start having trouble i'll expand my search to all of aus), and not silver. Thanks anyway mate.

Also here is an example of a S15 that caught my eye, if anybody in perth has something similar contact me asap :P : http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/nissan-silvia-1999-14591654?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=1&eapi=2&__N=1246%201252%201247%201282%204294963846%204294966407%201216&num=15&silo=Stock&sort=LastUpdate

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
