sadly after only a year and a half i think the time has come to sell up :(.....

but it just isnt what i want anymore and with a missus that wants a baby and a house that needs finishing off i cant afford to spend so much of my life playing with a car.
Don't ever let anyone tell you a baby seat will not go in the back of an S15. I do it on a regular basis and my 2 year old loves it. (so if that is the main reason, I have given you a defense)


p.s. will supply pictures of baby seat fitted if required.

The value is almost impossible to say. It all depends on how quickly you want to sell it I suppose mate.

Sorry to hear it Dean.

Do you still have the standard parts for it? It's not ideal but returning it to standard before selling it would bring more money in if you can do the work yourself... If its as clean as you say it is; with mileage to match it will probably be easier to shift in standard trim too...

I totally understand where your at mate... I've thoughts of selling from time to time. but everytime I look at it, I just fall in love with it again... TBH even if you do get another car you will still pour money into it. you will always find stuff for it... only way you won't is you drive a old banger all the time like a 1992 micra LOL.

and a 350z roadster is not gonna help... even more stuff for that the the Silvia. roadster is only 2 seat so where this baby gonna go?

I completely understand what your thinking as i am thinking the same things!

I definitely haven't spent that much on mine but want to spend all the time! i have often wondered if i will ever get the car to a stage where i am happy or if i will drive my self nuts wanting more and more! And by the sounds of it wont haha!

As for the weather, i cant stop looking at S2000's hahaha

Maybe modifying cars really is an addiction!

Good luck with your decision bud :thumbs:

i couldn't get a 350z since the 370 came out that thing is fooking gorgeous, i'm selling my s15 now too, it's the most annoying car to sell i've ever had, people constantly offering low value cars in exchange gets to you after a while, best of luck selling it anyway man hopefully you'll get lucky with a quick sale

BMW....LOL...
i can see the tunnig bug hitting you again... there are so much stuff you can get for those cars... turbo kits and chips..

before the silvia i was gonna buy a BMW and found so much stuff in performance tuning for them it crazy... from germany and the US... lots of superchatger kits ...yumm :)

your better off getting something ugly to get yourself off the tuning bug.

If i was to go BMW it would be a M3 coupe or maybe a m3 convertable... yumm:smitten:

i've been looking at silver 330 m-sport auto's with grey or cream leather - yes i know - :ghey: lol. honestly mate, if the tuning bug does get me again, it wont be a bmw that does it. the most i'd ever do to one of them is a nice set of wheels and if the exhaust needed replacing then a stainless one. thats it. no more. ive already got to deal with losing a fortune on the s15, i wont be in a hurry to do it again.....

dean, this is exactly why i sold mine when i did.....

love the car, but, i had 2k+ of parts sat here waiting to go on, i suddenly "woke up" and thought, i'm never gonna get that money back.

sold the car, sold the bits and made sensible money at the end of it all.

Considered getting a BMW myself, but...... i could hear it already starting in my head "oh, i could lower it, csl wheels, if it's diesel maybe chip it", the list went on! Not wise when you've got better things to spend the cash on. So, to assure that didn't happen, i've not brought nothing yet! got a company van i can use, free maintainance, tax and insurance, seem's silly not to use it!
