Hi, I'm Jon from Birmingham.
I currently drive a 97' S14a which I've got up for sale and I'm hoping to get a Spec-R at some point in the future as I've had a soft spot for them for a while.
Just doing some more research on the cars and came across the post about the types of turbo in the S15:
http://forum.s15oc.com/showthread.php?1835-Mr-Nicely-S15-Chassis-No.
Which surprised me somewhat. I previously thought all S15s had roller bearing turbos. Can anyone advise if there's a noticable difference in performance between the early S15s with roller bearing and the later cars with the standard T28?
I'm hearing good things about Torque GT so will definitely be in touch with them. I haven't seen anyone mention http://www.japaneseusedcars.com/ who are popular on other forums. Has anyone had experience of buying their S15 through them? I like the fact you can actually see the official auction grading.
How does everyone get on with insurance? For my UK 200SX I generally just phone Flux & Sky now and always get some money off each year. Anyone have trouble insurance an import?
Finally, it seems that almost all imports have some modifications to them already, be it just exhuast and induction, often much more. I was hoping to pick up a near as standard car as possible. Is this a pipe dream?
