Have been doing we bits to it since i got it like buying the bbs wheels, upgrading the brakes to the skyline ones which are fantastic, remapping the car for super unleaded courtesy of Richard Bradly yesterday. Plus the usual servicing. Love driving the thing plan is to leave it now til spring. Its already MOT'd which it flew through so just a matter of registering and tax, £150 and il be the first owner on the log book. I went way way down south for the car. Only plan that i know it needs is for me to lower it about 15mm. Other than that, its a fantastic road car really responsive and drives nice.


C&C welcome

That looks awesome! Are those genuine BBS wheels as well?

 

[Kenai]

I hope those LMs are real!

Looks lovely, like those cars a lot.

 

[peterattheboro]

Loving that. Don't see many of them on our shores. How much?

 

[David _b]

Lm are very real lads BBS LM in 18" 8j and 9j...rare

 

[[TW]Fox]

How do HID's work with no ballast?

 

[Kenai]

They must have stung you a pretty penny, totally worth it though IMO, they're fantastic.

 

[Locky]

DO WANT!

 

[David _b]

Well its not lying about the engine bay the way retro kits are, but there brilliant quality. ballast must be built into the headlight somewhere, either way there the factory optional extra and great quality

 

[Bear]

Car looks fantastic, I do love s15s

 

[Lopéz]

Looks great - are you still getting problems with car theft etc?

 

[Skillmister]

Looks brilliant

 

[David _b]

Ye thefts still happen. Recently a evo 8 MRwas took at gun-point. Was a few nice Audi s-lines went walkies recently too. This is not kept at my house.

 

[Gibbo]

A truly stunning example and still very modern looking, infact not just modern looking but a damn site nicer than most modern cars.

 

[Begbie]

Car porn.

Stunning!

I would say its about the last fun car you can buy out of Japan. Before electronics took over and has amazing styling.

 

[Perywinkle]

Very nice

Love it, the rear bumper looks really weird with otherwise stock body though, what's going on with that?

no idea,
The stock rear bumper is a tad bland too though so someone may have changed it. Eitherway, i have a stock bumper here should i decide to throw it on

 

[Clarkey]

Stock with the spats on and that car would look perfect. Don't get me wrong that one that's on looks good, but it needs the rest of the kit to go with it, rear should be highest and that is lowest.

How much did this set you back if you don't mind my asking? It's a nice spec and I'd expect to see it listed at near 10k over here. I want one of these badly but they are so dear for a 12 year old Nissan!
