Dudes if i decide to keep my s15 is there anyone capable of helping me do an engine swop in dbn? Odr wants mor or less 60 to 70k for rb25det swop with parts and labour but thats way out my budget . What would costs be like if i got the engine and gearbox n management. Dnt wna spend n arm n leg. Can get the engine and box for near sr20det engine n box price so thinkin rb now. I want bone stock conversion standard clutch, engine, etc to cut costs n then expand on it at a later stage
What may transpire...
don't waste time... sell it and get a real car with manual and turbo
Sell the S15 to me 8)

good one^^ when you coming back to SA?
April/May this year 😀
Been doing alot of thinking about bringing the s14 back with me because the customs clearing costs in SA are stupid!
Still thinking though....just got the s14 running yesterday so im all chuffed again!
bring back some tasty parts from UK please^^
Well it may make my shipping more affordable if a bunch of you want parts and want to share the container price with me
Any1 in durban can swop a rb25det or sr20det into my s15? I know d sr is cheaper n dts wat i want but i can source d rb dirt cheap with the box so it shouldnt wrk out way mor than n sr. Just want a std rb or sr no mods yet
Yes, try gary57
Go SR, dont be another statistic..... (no offence to anyone with rb's in their sbodies, there's just so many of them in SA) 😳
If you were in CPT I wouldve given you a hand when I was back.
Tanx guys if mr gary cheks this thread could u assist? Im lookin at startin in feb. Just to change box odr says 3k for labour without parts. @ treble yea u rite its pretty common swop d rb25 however what draws me to it is d fact that u get monstrous power from low reliable boost that and the fact that i cn get engine and box for 11k lol
Who did ur sr driftz?
That is good price...but I'm all about balance, power to weight, response, handling. But that's just a personal preference 🙂
Good luck with the job, put a thread up in Artciles so we can watch one of the few S15's come along
Once i start moding il make an article thread in the mean time im busy with photoshop virtual modding the car lol way cheaper anyway what time is it on that side of the world?
Only 2 hours behind you guys
Ok took the car out for a long drive today. Testing it out. Goes smooooth xept for gear changes when the car is parked and i engage either reverse or drive thers a clunk dont kno what it could be. Any ideas? Mounting maybe? If so whereTF am i spose to get 1 lol? And she also shudders at the steering wheel alot under braking. She has a wrong offset rim on 1 side at the rear and allignment off. Could this be the cause?
Don't waste money sorting out the auto box, change it for manual.
Also the shuddering could be wheel alignment but it's more than likely a warped brake disk if its under braking.
😮
What is an average cost for a swop like that? Need a figure so to budget. Will chek out the allignment on friday. Tanx
Swap the g'box? Not entirely sure but I'm pretty certain you can bolt up a normal SR20DET manual gearbox to the engine, for the swap you will need:
- Manual gearbox
- Manual gearstick
- clutch and brake pedal
- Clutch Master and slave cylinder
- Clutch lines
I have heard that people have done the auto to manual swap on s14's and s13's without changing the main ECU, so it would probably be the same case with the S15
