Back in the early 2000s, I created a car group called "STREET SPEC CRUISERS" or "SSC". We are a bunch of closely kneed friends that have similar passion about cars. We have more then 10 cars in the group and regularly you can see us hanging out at major cafe or restaurant. Sometime we will convoy to stadium to check out the illegal drag racing that was popular among Brunei car community. Those were the good old times and most of us now has our own families and no longer meet up that frequent.
This Nissan Silvia S15 you see here is the most powerful S15 in Brunei. This is the one and only S15 that is fitted with HKS Sequential Transmission. It cost about $15k to $20k for just the gearbox.
The engine is obviously not standard. Big power required fast gearbox to propel. The car I believed at one point one was running around upward of 750hp when it competed at MIRI Drag Race in the mid 2000s. The SR20DET was tuned by then Ohura-San from SHH-Proshop who also tuned my ER34.
This car still exist but no longer is road legal due to the excessive modification. I had cruised with this S15 with my ER34 and my god let me tell you when the engine roar and the wastegate valve opened you will gawk and stun like a mofo.
Genuine Veilside bucket seat
Most of the internal SR20DET has been upgraded with tons of HKS goodies
HKS T-51R turbo-charger can be seen here. It was the biggest turbo you can find from the HKS catalogue
Two external fuel-pumps
Battery had been moved to the boot. This free up space under the hood and also distribute the weight evenly
HKS Sequential Gearbox. Cost of a brand new low spec Toyota VIOS at that time.
