I Fixed A TOTALED Nissan Nismo Rs FOR FREE!

[@Usmc913]

Damn at first I thought this was the Juke R that had the R35 engine in it. Yall should definitely throw a bigger turbo and supporting mods on this thing and see what kind of power you can make.

[@scraplifedalt]

I think they only made like 5 of the Juke R…. It looks like plenty of people want to see this thing modded. So, an upgraded turbo might be in the works very soon!

[@caseydugan5666]

Yeah only 5 of the Juke R's where made they are all in private collections if my mind serves me right only 1 has came up for sale so normal people like us won't touch one unless you win the lotto. 🤣😂

[@ssaxmanful]

Those basically don’t exist. I have only ever seen one for sale and none of the articles from 2010 are consistent with how many were built. I feel like Nissan built 1 and said they would make more but it never happened. Kind of dumb as they would be an amazing vehicle

[@cloroxbleach6751]

They take about 300hp no problems or questions asked, 450, if fully built

Not going to lie. When this car came out I really wanted one but never had the money for a new car. So cool to have found this video.

[@andrewbeetz2196]

Yeah that's awesome, well done. Definitely do those bolt ons, easy to lose track when you have over 1000 hp cars lurking about the shop but a 400hp hot hatch would be so darn fun.

[@scraplifedalt]

Exactly! I’m definitely leaning towards the upgrades

[@tylanbakardi2750]

Rims is just the rim itself without the tire. Tires are just the tire without the rim. Wheels is the tire and rim as a whole. So if somebody says wheels that means the rim and tire as a whole. I don't know what tick tock is saying nowadays but this is the 100% correct way LOL

This will be debated until the end of time lol

[@johnchedsey1306]

I have a 2015 Juke Nismo (not RS) and it's become one of my most beloved cars to date. I consider it a "large hatchback" rather than SUV, though I've taken on plenty of dirt roads without too many issues (mind you, I do avoid hardcore 4x4 jeep trails because I'm not totally an idiot). What I do like about it is that it has enough get up and go to pass trucks quickly on a hill. Also, compared to most crossover SUVs, it doesn't feel totally lethargic. And most importantly, on my road trips, I get between 35-40 mpg in it. I am kinda bummed they don't make these any more for the US...but also understand the goofy styling never appealed to most.

There were total 2,285 Nismo were produced from 2014 to 2017. Yet I didn't see what the numbers are for 6 speed manual Nismo RS' which i'm sure are more rare than that.

We own a 2018 RS manual in australia....ours is sitting on 200kw(268hp) with only a few mods from initial 160kw (215hp) . With most our mods come from Injen. Our mate owns a r32 and our little juke sounds lounder and meaner. 2j has alot of gear that can make them into little weapons. It's a renault motor so rally car breed motor designed to rev. Put on GFB bov and it is just a unique car. Get one of the 2j intercoolers it's a must. There was only 201 cars sent to Australia for our year model so there aren't many around and fewer manuals. The automatic versions suffered alot in repairs and issues. Fun car to drive. Handle pretty good for a runabout. Puts smiles on my face when I don't drive my Beast nissan patrol as it is very zippy and quick with more power. Add the mods.
