Yeap. I am in the USA and have an S14 with full JDM aero, coils, Z32 Brakes, S15 HLSD. I've seen cars in worse condition than mine going for 9K (14K AUD). Mine has not ran in 6 years and I will NOT get rid of it. It is worth more now than I paid for it running. The S-chassis market is insane. I would love an S15 but I know for 25K usd there are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better cars for the money.
All great points, however still love my S15, never going to sell it. Will i own other cars? Of course and i do. This was the car i wanted since i was 14, only tasteful mods, trying to keep it as close to factory as i can. Drift tax has obviously inflated my sense of value, but im not selling so doesn't matter. The analog driving experience of this car is like a floating leaf down a stream. I agree it's not for everybody, but then again that wasn't the point for those great engineers that designed this car. This isn't rant at all, this is an appreciation for a car that was a breakthrough in my mind, compared to so many other disappointing cars of the time. A true driver's car, floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee. One last note is when kitted well is a jaw dropper at shows. Sexiest car in the world in my opinion, when done properly.
I'm just wondering, is it true that part of the reason why some people swap out their stock original steering wheels is the fact that the Takata airbags tend to explode? I'm just wondering, that's all
i have s13 sr20det and had it 10 years,for many of those years it was daily driven and just had bolt ons running 10 psi of boost.out of those 10 years i was only left stranded twice and both were my own fault,once was because i had sucked water into intake and got the maf wet,thi happened because my ic piping holes i cut were too large so when i hit a huge puddle water got past and wet the maf.the fix was simply drying it. the second time was when i came up a steep driveway and the intercooler got caught on the ground and ripped the couplers apart,again the fault was not having ic mounted and car too low. my sister bought a brand new jeep wrangler with 10k miles.in one year it was down 3x and was down longer then it was not,once because faulty ficm relay box,another was faulty seat module was pulling down the can system,another was a faulty sensor pulled down her 5v reference to ground.all these took months for the shop to fix under warranty. ive had a prius and my s13 was faaaar more reliable. that being said these newer cars are junk,ill stick with my 90s cars that dont leave me stranded
No matter how many people says Don't buy this car no matter how the car got problems buy it no matter how worthless the car still buy it cuz it got the worth on you it may not be worth it to anybody but it worth it for u don't listen to other people the car got the worth on you you want this car because you like it it got the value for u
I've owned my S15 since 2005, 18 years now. Its mainly parked in the garage due to the value of it vs risk of an idiot crashing into it. With all its "flaws" there no way ill be letting it go as driving it always give me a buzz compared to my daily shopping cart lol
Bro she's beauty❤ bought my import silvia in 09 for 11k. got in at the right time and bought the oem areo kit cheap. now getting work done like yours, forge and stroke. 300kw here i come😊
High performance cars require maintenance . If you're not happy with a S Chassis. Buy a grey import Skyline. I get pulled over by the police and they say "great car" Don't comparw VW to Nissan. Go drive a boring VW and sell the car. No more winging. 🇦🇺🤘
i planed to buy a S15 before your video and after i watched i want it more, bc being chase by cops will make me feel like Toretto without doing any crimes ahah btw now a S15 spec R with 150 000 mileage is around 22 000$ so price is still correct
i follow a S15 to work most mornings and its got a personalised number plate SJUGYO ,for the life off me i had no idea what it meant till i asked a fella at work ,S for s and the rest is 15 in Japanese
@2:20 you had me at aero bar being over priced, son I’m in QLD and paid $14k for mine in 2019 now it’s $40k crackhead prices, I would of much rather purchased 4 x s13 Silvia’s as they are on marketplace as a rolling shell for $14k…. Im not complaining by any means but I do know that now it’s 2024 and 350+million merricans can import for road use legally it’s gonna jump up to again through the roof to GTR skyline prices and let me tell you gtrs are actually not that quick stock for $60k plus but the fast and furious back when it was just drifting made it go boom
240sx/silvias etc are just too expensive these days for beginners to get into drifting,the apeal that got these cars so popular was the fact they were cheap and abundant therfore you break somthing you just go junkyard shopping to fix it.this is not the case now,hell i need a speedo sensor and getting one used is $100,most used parts are expensive now. the predecessor to cheap drifting seems to be the 350z because they are cheap and overly common and parts everywhere at junkyards
you should totally buy a silvia. most of the things you said are quite.... obvious. they are old cars. literally. spare parts etc always been expensive for these things because... they only been built in japan and australia. the car only weighs 1200kg at 4.5m length. obviously its a tin can, not a luxury cruiser. S-Chassis was a cheap entrance sport coupe back in its days. quality wasnt really top notch but ok. with the stock suspension etc its propably not even that bad but as soon as you put a stiff suspension in its going to be shite. fun to drive but yes, tin can. I actually have my S20DE S-Spec since 6 years, its stock and never has.... like.. any problems? as soon as you tune them above 400HP some stock parts give up....naturally. not designed for that power. had to do a gearbox overhaul because age/drifting pre owner but meh, that happens. And Nissan Gearboxes in that time sucked massively anyway :| wheel bearing happened. meh. otherwise? i really cant complain for an old car.
If you must buy an S15 well get an S15 Silvia not this S15 200SX. My Silvia had factory aero, factory pop up dash, factory leather front seats, factory boost gauge, and digital climate controller, was more rigid, and had BB turbo, the rear wiper (just looks more premium than the debadged 200sx look) Also the gunmetal silver badges are awesome. I still gladly sold mine. Storing up treasures on Earth sucked
Every S15 has been crashed 100% They are plastic as compared to an s14 I paid $4500 for mine sold it for $11000 4 months after buying it that was in 2011 though haha
They were ok when they were under $20k, but now they are way overpriced and the amount people want it’s not worth the car , I drove a few that were around 18k with 270rwkw about 6 years ago and they were junk than and probably worse now so I bought a fg xr6 turbo instead much nicer car doesn’t break down and stink like fuel
I still want s15

Get standalone engine management so you can have traction control once you do your car will stop being slow (400hp and barely high 12's).
😂 lol none of your reasons . Is a good reason not to by the car . Lol u think I care about what police think about my cars .
