Possible S15 Drift Project? *Fingers Crossed* - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

PK2K · 09-30-2018, 06:41 PM

Hey guys! I am looking to start a new drift project. I am shooting for an S15. My main question for you guys is: Can I import a car under 25 years old for track use only? I would NOT be driving it on the street, nor would I be registering it.

Now I have a few ideas on how to do it, especially if I'm never going to street drive it, I just wanted to get some other peoples opinion.
Any input is appreciated!!
Thanks!!

Contact Gary King JR on facebook. He has a S15 autech for sale. forgot for how much. 13k or so. already in california.

Non turbo

Pretty sure car has not been sold yet. car of course is not registerd

PK2K · 09-30-2018, 07:39 PM

Thanks! That's absolutely gorgeous! I'll go find him.
Do you know how difficult a turbo kit for the SR20 is to install? I've never done forced induction on an SR

It doesn't fucking matter. If they were brought here unregistered then they will never be legal in any way, shape, or form. It's the paperwork that's done when exiting the origin country/entering the destination country that matters. If this car isn't registered then even if you take it to the track you run the risk of it being seized.

Come on, guys. This is basic fucking math at this point. How are you gonna post a thread asking about doing this the right way then insinuate that you're going to go pay a dude that clearly has illegal cars? I mean I give you props for trying to do it right but be patient. Don't pay some cuck's mark-up for an illegal car.

turboshoebox · 09-30-2018, 10:00 PM

He doesn't care about it being legal being it's a track car.

Personally I wouldn't be worried getting a grey market car that's not in any us system taken away being it's not gonna hit the street.

What i would worry about are state tiled cars that aren't federally legal. U are in the system and I'm not willimg to take a risk a car that be taken away. I rather wait out a 100 percent legal s15(as far as road use)

PK2K · 09-30-2018, 10:09 PM

That's what I'm thinking. If it isn't in the system, then I am not worried. I won't take it on the street. Just trailer it to meets to smoke some tires

....dude are you trying to be a walking contradiction?

I guess if you're not worried about spending $10k+ on an illegal car then go for it. Trailer it to a fucking meet and 'smoke tires' and see how long that works out.

It will last 1 meet. Cops show up arrest them for reckless driving and impound the car.

Why would it be reckless? Its on a closed track during a planned and approved event. Reckless isn't a factor...
These events happen all across the country

This is what he is referring to... Not your track days bro. Let me be as clear as possible, A grey market car It's NOT a good idea.

I know it isn't the best idea. But I mean, in an enclosed trailer, not much can happen. Think about it this way, Formula Drift cars are far from street legal as well, yet they are trailered just fine.

I know there's risk to it, but I am considering it

There's a chance I may go s14 for now, but I am considering the s15

RalliartRsX · 10-01-2018, 10:47 AM

You lost me at trailering to a meet and smoking them up. Do you vape bro??

Nothing about a parking lot of Wendys @ 2 AM in the morning screams "closed track" or "happening all over the country (legally)!" Unless you aren't being serious.

There are numerous grey market/strictly track cars out there. But what you are attempting to do.........well, goodluck!

The only thing I would do is bring it to a track. I don't know where I misspoke there. It would be solely for official, on-track, drift meets and/or small competitions

There would be absolutely no "Parking-lot at Wendy's" Ever in this car. I would not be risking anything on public property

RalliartRsX · 10-01-2018, 11:14 AM

In that case. I don't see why not.

Not as easy as you think to get one over here however. Nut would be cool to see a S15 not drifted and wrecked.

Personally, not worth the hassle of a drift only car. Body parts are stateside but expensive for examples

Do yourself a favor and buy a prepped S14. Considering you're asking this question, I can only assume your limited experience level

On the other hand, the S15 posted a ove looks cool. That would be the easy button solution IMHO

Yeah I am definitely considering a good S14 for now. I have only drifted low powered s13's. I am no doubt lower experience level. I only have around 6 hours of true seat time. If I get an s14 or an r32 GTS (there are a few good examples for cheap near me) I can then street drive it between events if I need or want to

RalliartRsX · 10-01-2018, 11:43 AM

Don't get any car you cannot readily get parts for to drift. That is incredibly foolish.......

I think you are looking in all the wrong places in all honesty. 6 hours of seat time and all that......

Get yourself a missile. Go to a bunch of events. Wreck a shit ton. Rinse and repeat.

Sounds good to me. I could always get an s13 and make it an absolute drift missile, but everyone runs s13s at events

I’m referring to car meets at your local grocery store or sonic.

Can you explain to me why it matters what other people drive??

You need seat time right?? You need something which works right?? Wanna know the reason(s) people drive S13s?? Because it works, is cheap and parts are readily available.

You want to know why people don't drive S15s?? The exact opposite of the reasons why people drive S13s.

Do as you please, but it seems you need to take a step back for self and situational evaluation........

Goodluck.

This makes no sense. I was simply wanting to use a grey market car solely for a car to use in approved, closed-track, drift events.

I don't think you realize how stupid you sound describing what you plan on doing with this sketch ass grey market car. If all you wanna do is drift and improve, do us a favor and go pick up a shitstang and learn with that. No point in importing something if you're just going to wreck it "learning to do mad skids brov."
Cheap and simple = moar seat time

Would someone seriously interested in buying one ask these basic already answered questions?? I dont think so.

s14gmo · 10-01-2018, 10:50 PM

Shut this thread down people have asked these questions time and time again do some research before making a thread OP.
