Hi All,
My name is Tomi, I’m from Melbourne, Victoria, thought it was about time I posted. Mid last year, after a few years of saving up, I was finally able to afford my dream car - a JDM S15 Silvia. Over the years I'd extensively researched the car and knew exactly what I wanted, so I decided my best option was to import an example.
The car was located in a Narita dealer after many long hours of searching by Ben from J-Spec Imports through auctions, dealers, classifieds etc.. It was in the condition I wanted, had all the options I had specified (along with a few extra's) and was reasonable in terms of price. The car arrived in Australia a few months later, and I had it complied and registered in Victoria by November '06.
Since that time I've been slowly modifying it to suit my tastes, the current modifications include:
Engine Bay & Driveline:
Garrett GT2871R 0.64 rear
6Boost Steampipe Exhaust Manifold
CES Front/Dump Pipe
3" MetalCat Catalytic Converter

As it stands in 2010, still a little bit more to go before I consider it finished:
So that's about it for the moment. Future mods include fiiting my Vertex Ride widebody kit, Work Meister's, updating some interior aspects and some engine work when it decides to pop . Comments welcome.
