[@MYDODGEYUTUBENAME]

🔥 I have to correct you. In Australia the Spec S and Spec R are basically the same identical car (both are Spec R's). The Spec R had a sunroof and bodykit and steering wheel that distinguished it from the Spec S. People who didn't want a sunroof, bought the Spec S. So let me rephrase. Australia: Known as the 200SX. All S15's brought into Australia from Japan are turbo SR20DET Spec R's. The S badge went on the cars that didn't have a sunroof. Japan and NZ: Spec R and Spec S are different cars. Spec R are turbo. Spec S are non turbo. The JDM Spec S was the budget no thrills version. JDM Spec R had all the options.

[@HeyBigChriss]

Well yes I would love to own one. But due to KZbin and Tik Tok, the days of affordable JDM cars are gone. Heck, even Miata’s with 150k mikes are going for like $9k. This car will be no different.

I owned a S15 for 10 years. I built it from mild to wild. It's a fantastic car, loads of fun to drive and a fantastic platform. But the gear box is weak, the SR20 is descent but not a great engine. It looks awesome and there are millions of parts for it.

There is a fix now to make the 6-speed stronger in the S15. Plus also heaps of options for fitting Skyline and other Nissan transmissions to it if going for huge power.

After working 2 jobs and saving up for 2 years I've only ever seen them go for no less than $25k. Each day I'm waking up questioning why I'm even saving money to buy one when it just looks more and more impractical because this market. Even any other S-chassis I still have a desire for, sadly the only ones I can find are beat up, drifted/unfinished projects and it just hurts the soul.

Since it is now 2024. I can confidently say the Spec-S are relitively cheap.(er). An auto with the winter package (gives it the limited slip dif) un-nutured is around $12k not including taxes, and registration costs. To manual swap, a used trasmission goes for around 275,000 yen (give or take $1,750 plus shipping. Its really not out if this word pricing at this point and time.

As an importer myself the reason they raise the value on Supra’s, Skyline’s, Silvia’s, (etc) is because if they don’t there will be no market for the cars anymore if they are selling at a low price. That’s why the price jumps up by 10-15% every year.
