Contemplating the idea of giving up on my project and moving on in my career without having this looming over my head preventing me from progressing or moving else where for work...


I've owned this 2002 model Nissan S15 - Spec S GT model for a little over a year, from what I can tell I was the 2nd owner of the car and I bought it completely stock.


I had intentions of putting a 2jz-gte with turbo 400 trans so nearly everything was removed from the car to make it happen.


Positives about the car;

+ 2nd owner

+ Completely stock

+ 96,XXX kms

+ Still has rego for about 5 months (recently renewed)

+ Overall body and interior is quite clean for the age of the car

+ Since installed a r33 gtr diff with axles, gk tech rear suspension stuff, solid diff mounts

+ New rear brake pads


Negatives about the car;

- some of the loom was a little hacked to make way for smart wire - since purchased a 2nd hand one to replace

- stock transmission mount was removed, plates have been welded on the inside of the body for the th400 - not the best job but should work okay

- trans tunnel around firewall got a real good beating with a hammer for th400 clearance, unlikely to notice once engine and trans is in

- battery tray was removed from engine bay

- bashed the stock brake booster in an attempt to get the stock twin turbo set up to fit in the engine bay, I have bought an undamaged replacement unit which is included.

- battery relocated to boot, boot carpet cut and holes were drilled to install battery tray, happy to include the tray in sale

- some additional holes around trans tunnel and engine bay from removing spot welds (from drilling)

- need to replace fuel sender loom from within the fuel tank as plug was cut when making new fuel hat. This should be easy enough to find.

- requires new fuel lines, I have stock fuel hat which is sitting in the car with stock fuel lines that are only good for about a metre or so before they are bent (removed from a written off S15)

- will require power steering lines

- a couple of small dents in the body work here and there but none that will immediately draw attention (car is nearly 14 years old after all)

- it is a rolling chassis, bring a tow truck / trailer

- stock brake rotors are a bit shitty, would require replacement soonish - passed safety certificate when I exchanged rego from interstate but it was bought to my attention from the mechanic that looked over the car

- car is in bits and pieces with numerous interior and exterior parts removed, probably lost / broken a couple of the small clips that hold interior parts in place


There is probably a bunch of other stuff I have missed out explaining but I think they are the main things that come to mind.


I am looking for around 10k ONO for this.


Weight of the car is around 1260kg so under nocop biggest engine sizes for an engine swap are 6300cc naturally aspirated or 3780cc forced induction.


When it's bolted back together it will look like this;

I have a few other extras like the evo 8 brembo calipers with adapters and dba 4000 series rotors and a 2j engine if someone was interested in doing this conversion (will include the engine mounts). This isn't included in the sale price but I am happy to include at an additional price.


Located on the Gold Coast.


Thanks

Yep, sure am.

Selling a registered australian delivered spec s gt, 2nd owner, for 10k ono.

Problem?

Keep your comments to yourself if you're not interested in buying!

Big thanks to PWND for his awesome 5-6k offer without even viewing the car because he's one hour away.

Sell this for 6k, replace what's needed for $2500 and sell it for 14k?

Who is the dummy here?

Cheap dream boats need not apply lol

Id take the 6k! All adds up getting it back together - not to mention the time! Been there and done it! Probs better off parting it

So would I, considering it's not an easy "drop 2.5K of parts and off you go"

Trans tunnel has been bashed, trans mount welded up, spot welds removed and need rewelding, (And then painting)...

I'd def take $6K on it.

6k is a f**king insult.

It's piss easy, everything bolts back in and a couple of rosette welds for the transmission support bracket. Absolutely nothing needs to be painted. A bit of mechanical knowledge is all that's needed.

Show me any S15 like this that's sold for 6k

Anyway, not that it matters. It's no longer for sale.

Cheers

eat a dick

I didn't offer you the cash. I politely asked how much movement yo had on that price, as I didn't want to waste your time or my time driving for an hour to view a car if you weren't flexible in asking price. I told you what my budget was and waited on an answer. Instead I got a thinly veiled insult.

judging by the above replies, it wold seem I should have budgeted for even less

so, as I said in my message, I retract my expression of interest in the car, and now take this opportunity to once again kindly tell you to eat a dick.

By the time you've bought another engine and box 3-4k depending where you get it, clutch if motor doesn't have one 500, fuel sender 50, as well as fixing wiring and all the little bits and pieces need to get it running properly as it sounds like a hack job and time to reassemble everything you've spent 15,000 plus, not including the effort to go and source everything missing, anyone can by buy a half decent unpacked s15 for that

id sell my s15 for 12k only 110xxxkm rb25 gearbox, also has an engine, trans tunnle is untouched and all welds are in place. Also its a spec r and has rego.

I sold my old s15 for 6.2k complete just no body kit and no reg

I don't give a f**k.

Mods, for the 3rd f**king time, do your f**king job and lock / close this thread.

Keep your pants on and stop crying about selling bits-a-shell for 10k.

Busy in my own career to lock it, done now.

Won't be deleting it though, we don't roll like that.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
