i dont like the GT spec wing.

this is my sister's car. has a vertex lang wing. not a very good picture. i dont have one close up but i prefer this wing over any wing on an S15.

also. just curious on the leather seats... if its a spec S with leather it is probably a GT spec S? unless the seats are a retrim or swapped in. and i have never seen an S15 GT with rear leather seats before?? i cant see the interior to see if its GT or not

I'll take a pic and post it up later, could be retrim but looks like a good factory job.

Shhh Rupe 500-1000 isn't a reasonable price for coilovers? Mates of mine have bought ksport and similar for 1000 new.

Nice !

Not doubting but is that 100% real leather ? Cause when i did my astina it was in Syn-Leather and looked 100% like that and even the styling and everything, cause i probably think its maybe syn-leather (which is still good)

Cause by memory the 200sx original leather is abit different as family friend and a friend, one has a spec-s-gt and the other a spec-r-gt and interior's are the same and different to yours.

Also GT wing is nice and i'd leave the middle centre in.

So it was a good night of bargain finds. First after a failed attempt to for stock sp20 wheels to the 200 (mind you they are only 0.5" off) I searched eBay for stock s15 rims, an hour later I was in Hornsby picking up 4 pretty decent rims up for $150, score!!

Then went to visit a work mate in wahronga and he happened to have a spare 1000w kenwood monoblock he gave to me for $50.

So things are coming together nicely, just gotta find time to strip the tyres off the sp20 rims and onto the s15 rims and run a few more wires for the new amp.

Also serviced the car today, with 5w30 castrol long life 3 and a genuine Nissan filter, all for $20 gotta love working in the industry lol

So after a roller coaster ride I have the beast back.

Got it towed to Unigroup for a nistune chip and dyno tune, they found the issue, blow fuse which was still reading 12v at both ends :/
Picked it up this afternoon and was surprised with a 200rwkw max power dyno run. Wasn't expecting that. Pics later of the dyno sheet.

Haha I'd never sell it, but I've contemplated everyday since the accident about buying another YLO323 as a daily driver!

I haven't done much to the car cause of heavy duty saving and I lost my licence lol get it back in feb!

This was a few months ago, after installing rear pod pieces


Went to the drags, did a 13.6, needs a new clutch now


Bought some tail lights for $50


Recently bought a M sports bar for $70


Annnnd starting modding my GT wing today


Got a long to-do list leading up to when I get my licence back and hopefully I can catch up with some of you guys on a cruise
