JesusFast · 03-02-2011, 12:53 PM

Hello,

Just wanted to Share with you guys what I'm doing.... I hope you enjoy the pics and the Thread and the Out come of the car.

The car is a friend's shop in IL where we're doing all the work at, Thank you Quickboost Motorsports

99 s15 spec-S

Here is the car on the way home from picking it up.

Here it is at the TF BBQ about a month after i got it...

I bought a real cheap SR20 to through in the car..

Now the Fun begins

Some of the parts that I'm getting together.

850 cc's

THANK YOU Tougefactory and TF works for this stuff

And Now the car is just sitting waiting for the motor to be done and waiting on a bunch of parts

FantasticVoyages · 03-02-2011, 01:12 PM

why did you need to buy an SR? did the stock one blow?

JesusFast · 03-02-2011, 01:15 PM

B/c the stock motor is a sr20de (non turbo)

FantasticVoyages · 03-02-2011, 01:20 PM

I had no idea S15's came non turbo. The blue wheels look much better than the black ones.

Yup. They made 200rwhp N/A too lol.

Just curious: Why not N/A-T? New HG and turbo setup wouldve been just as much as a new SR.

well that was the first plan.... didnt work out that way clearly.

but then I got a crazy deal on a sr20 and now i can keep the stock motor in storage so if i go to sell the s15 i can just put it back to stock and keep the built motor and all the goodies for the next car.

im pretty sure it was 165hp at the crank if its a type S or an sr20de. Regarding the importation of cars there's ways of legally registering a imported car. However its gotta go through US customs, it takes tons of research, money, and hundreds of requirements. There's also ways of getting the car registered under the radar of US customs as well, you just gotta know/ find loop holes.
To the OP: you dont know how lucky you are to have an s15, many of the zilvians dream cars, me included!

Only the Autech version, the regular Spec S was 165 just like the kouki S14. Exact same motor.

There's laws preventing the importation of cars never sold in the United States. To do it legally costs high dollars and a crash test car or a letter from the manufacturer. 99-100% of the ones in the country are in some way, shape, or form, illegal. People will argue with me on that, but the laws are clearly available here for those of you wishing to read: http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/import/

Because that would fall into the illegal category, lol. Most people will argue that their car is legal because they may have been able to acquire a title and insurance for the car but, that is only on a state level. From a federal standpoint the vehicle is still illegal. No big deal as long as they never get in an accident or get a ticket while driving their "titled" illegal car.

fearlessKouki · 03-02-2011, 01:51 PM

very clean car!

lbsam · 03-02-2011, 03:53 PM

It's not unheard of for people to swap vins out of a 240sx into a Skyline/Silvia which I believe is what you're talking about. And then register the car as a 240sx.

However this is very illegal. I think VIN tampering is a felony? Not worth if for me, but some people bust nuts over these cars enough to go to jail over one.

Anyways clean S15. You are a lucky man. The singled supra in the background pics looks like a beast too.

You're in Ireland so you have nothing to worry about obviously. It's just our lame ass government wastes our tax dollars cracking down on enthusiasts cars.

OMG NO CRASH TEST RATINGS!!111!! WE MUST SEIZE IT AT ONCE.

No, you can call and thank Mercedes Benz. Back in the 80's exchange rates made it very profitable to import "grey market" cars from Europe, Mercedes, BMW and Porsche. You buy a car there for 15,000, ship it for 500 and sell it here for 20k because dealers here are charging 30k.

Benz went to congress and argued the price gouging was necessary because of additional safety and environmental testing and millions of people will die each year if people are aloud to keep importing a dozen or so Euro-tuned cars with glass headlights.

Needless to say, they fell for it and thus the 25 year rule was born.
