With great regret, I think the time has come to sell my much MUCH loved S15 Spec R that I’ve owned for the last 7 years. I just don’t use it anymore and have hardly put any miles on it recently. Wife hates it as it’s too uncomfortable and I’m forever charging the battery just to go for a quick blast maybe once a month.
My plan was to keep it for another few years as the value seems to be going up on these and then to swap the turbo out for something more powerful but due to getting a job quite far out, I desperately need a comfy but fast German daily driver to replace the very tired Mondeo.
Everything works as it should on the car from the JDM folding mirrors to the windscreen washers. All the right modifications have already been done to easily support a bigger turbo of your choice. It drives absolutely perfectly and handles very well. Engine has never missed a beat and pulls very very well (a true testament to its legendary status).
I’m after £8500 which I think is a very fair price for what you’re getting. I’m in no rush to sell it though so no silly offers please. Best way to contact me is to call me on 07855 605006 (just drop me a text or leave a message if I don’t answer). NO TEST PILOTS PLEASE
So here it goes:
1999 Nissan Silvia Spec R Aero 2.0 Turbo (original SR20DET blacktop) with ball bearing turbo (no smoking at all)

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetricals Front

Security
Toad Security Sterling One Cat 1 Alarm System (came on the car already)
Niggles (in my opinion)
The centre console has a few marks so could do with sanding down and re-spraying in the same silver colour to match the rest of the interior (or black).
The front bumper didn’t come with the aero front lip and I’ve not had a chance to find and fit one.
Tyres will need changing after a few months.
Wheels could do with a refurb.
Bit of surface rust build up on the inside of the bonnet.
Few stone chips on bonnet (surprisingly very little for the mileage)
Moisture inside one of the headlights that I don’t know how to get rid of (not brave enough to throw it in the oven)
Very small rip on drivers side leather seat bolster (wear and tear)
