I went out to California for vacation last week. On the NBC studio tour in Burbank, we went out and saw the car Jay Leno was driving that day - a McClaren SLR. It is an amazing car, but what caught my attention was a S15 parked at the other end of the parking lot. If it is not a real one, someone did a hell of a S15 JDM job on a S14. I got probably 20 yards from it and I could tell it was a right hand drive. Just wondering if any of you guys that live out there know about this car. It was black without a spoiler.

I saw 3 or 4 S15's at GT Live (JGTC / D1GP) last month. I think they were all for sale too, from Proto Motorsports. I'm not sure what the deal was, but they were pretty sweet. Mostly stock, but sweet. Wouldn't mind owning one myself..

Ah well, one of these days..

Cool, I guess it was a real one. I did see a bunch of cars in California that I know were never actually sold here. Something tells me that importing a car is just like everything else, it's who you know.

I'm sure you California guys are used to it, but the number of Ferrari's, Porsches, Lambo's I saw up near Malibu over the weekend was unreal. Soooo much money up there.

Someone was selling a silver S15 in Florida on ebay for around 18g. It looked so good too. I wish NIssan would've at least waited a couple years and sold it in the US as the S15 240sx.
