- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2024
- This is the ultimate real life barn find that i have always dreamed of! When I saw pictures of this abandoned S15 Silvia rotting in the jungle of Okinawa, Japan. I couldn't say no and had to save it. After a lot of researching we tracked down the owner and the paperwork required to buy the car and save it! This is where the story of the abandoned S15 Silvia begins!

SAM REPAINT THE CAR BLUE!! You can do a reversed color yashiyo factory s15 that is blue with pink vinyl
+1
Pink
I was just about to comment the same thing thank you ☺️
It's b16 or b21 blue very rare nissan color they did it on very few cars.
@@studmuffin97 thanks for this knowledge. ya learn somethin new everyday. Today, I learned this
That S15 looks that a gem in the rough that after being sorted out will become a real unit!
Had an RB kit on it before the guy who was supposed to ship it out ripped it off and sold it
@@futurenickel702 I love the paint scheme inside the engine bay you really made this car yours! I cant wait to see what Sammit does to this car, hopefully you can send him some photos and videos of the car drifting when you were running it.
"Rocket Bunny kit was technically stolen" No that's outright theft, when shops receive these cars to be worked on, they do not own any of the car, they are there to provide it a service. The dude chopped up their kit and sold it for a profit when he did not own the car it was on, nor the kit that was put onto it. It's outright theft.
was getting ready to say the same thing ended up reading some comments to see if someones said it lol..
they could get the kit back aswell, because the guy that has it now does not own it
I was going to say..."kind of" shady? "Kinda" theft? No, extremely shady and literal theft. Sheesh.
Forgive my lack of knowledge, but are the S-Chassis rocket bunny kits still being made/sold? (Or any new rocket bunny kits)
@@phlooke they’re made to order usually, you can find them once in awhile if someone changes up their build but you can order them directly from rocket bunny it’s decently expensive though
This place was pretty popular with US service men for about 4-5yrs... it's a 15-30min drive from most of the bases. Unfortunately this story is not uncommon. Guys get orders off island or have to deploy and leave the car with a popular shop for work, its gonna be awesome when they get back..... when they do get orders back to Oki in 6 months to 3yrs.... come back and everything - Shop, car, parts, money - Long Gone. I enjoyed and miss the time I was there but I don't miss the many grifters involved in the car hobby there.
do you know where the place is?
@@drakularz1243 Yes, it's right up from Maribu Beach like your going to the Blue Cave. I'm not exactly sure when this became an auto shop. When I was on Oki in the 90s, it was a private residence. We found the place by accident as we turned onto the wrong road going diving.... I remember the place because I wanted to live there... lol. When I came back to Oki, few yrs ago, I was surprised when one of my Marines said that it was an Auto shop.... Anyway from what I remember there are a couple more homes and smaller businesses on the road leading where this property overlooks the cliffs and few more beyond it as the road loops around.
yup! I lived/ stationed there too. Late 99'- 2007. We know all those old spots and in fact he's right down the street from my old apartment! lol I miss that place but you're right...so many grifters!
@@billyj.williams2341 thanks man I’m going to go and take those engines that where covered 😈
@@therandomchannel-_- The place is already cleaned. You can search it up. There wasn't a workshop next to the house in 2011-2016. After 2018 the cars started to pile up. It's been cleaned. And japan is full of these places. Same in the USA with old cars.
I hate how excited I get with you when you come across these barn finds !
Makes me miss having my garage to store deals on wrecks and fix em up
Man I’m super amped for Sam! But he needs to focus on finishing projects up as well!
The thumbnail made me so happy! When I saw Jason’s original video on this car, I was hoping this S15 would become another rescued legend. Thanks for the great content boys!
Great collaboration here and for all the right reasons. Jason is a lovely guy, Been watching him for years now. He also deserves this further exposure. Such a good side to social media & RUclips sometimes. Amazing to save this S15 Sam 😎 👍🏻 Loving the new vids.
Sammit caused hella problems on Okinawa. People saw this video and started stealing parts off these. Cars which have owners
Makes me so happy when I see these types of cars that are abandoned get driven again...gonna be an amazing project
Yeah, even with these covid prices these vehicles still sit and rot away in Japan. Glad to see them get back to life.
The car looks amazing especially the way the other cars looked like, and if I had to choose one car to save in the video I'd probably go with the 180 or the 33.
I’d choose the 86 if I didn’t have to spend 4 years doing body work to fix the rusty buckets
That 180 looks like will start right away.
nah s15 for the win
@@jmccarsnmore1025 I'd most likely pick the 180 lookin like there isn't much work to be done... but I will admit I've like 0.001% car knowledge compared to sammit. So let's say that's the primary reason I'd pick that xD.
We see our batteries we shipped out with the GP logo's on them, we know who purchased those batteries in Okinawa!
Man! That 180 looks like it was parked ten minutes ago. What a crazy place. Looking forward to seeing progress on the S15. 👍🔰
This video is eerily similar to the video you took a few months back of another abandoned shop that had all the graffiti painted on the walls and all the cars leftover! Almost identical layout which is crazy because it’s on a whole other island! Haha
Nice scoop Sammit! Can’t wait to see her saved and back on the course rippin!
Can’t wait to see what you do with this bro!
Respect for making this happen 👏
Jason what's the word on the chaser .
it is a beautiful thing saving a cars life. Also great for the environment. The R33 would be my go-to restoration vehicle choice for sure.
@sammit Awesome car - and Jason's comment about video of the S15 drifting sent me down the rabbit hole to find it. This may be video taken the day that it was drifted and broke: ruclips.net/video/TvqioZLBaEM/видео.html The car appears in the gas station clip at the beginning…again at 18:07…and can be seen sitting off track with the hood up at 28:02 (and sitting in the in-field a few other times, matching the events in the video that Jason described seeing). It appears again @ 36:49 in the parking area. Regardless, can’t wait to see it on the track again.
to be honest i hope sammit finds this comment because i was trying to find a clip on fb of that moment but couldnt find it so i hope sammit finds this comment
Nice one bro
B U M P
Shame it's missing the widebody pannels
dope bro
Wow. I am excited to see how the story of that S15 will turn out. I just bought last month a corolla '97 in the Philippines. It was just stuck in a basketball court since the pandemic. Now, I am trying to learn to be a better driver and car owner. Thanks always for the inspiration Sammit!
i can't help but notice you've got a nav dash in your new s15. Stoked to see whether you're gonna return it to its original state and do what Tommy's doing with the gauges or do something else with it. nonetheless, stoked to see another car on the channel!
I think those Coilpacks came from my jzx90 🤣🤣 good times, I need to go back out there. Glad the S15 is going to a new home, that thing was in so many magazines a few years ago.
I love seeing these hidden gem car finds, it reminds me of some of the abandoned classic muscle cars in my area
I'm gonna show some love to that first gen Tundra behind that 86, an American made Yota shipped to Okinawa to do work is a pretty cool thing. I've seen imported Tundras every once in a while when Sam or Alexi is like cruising down the road and a Japanese apartment on wheels passes them, and I also found someone on Instagram that lives in Japan with one, so its more common then I originally thought.
Car looks dope can’t wait to see u restore it keep it up bud ❤️💪🏻
I'm so excited for you Sam! This will be such an awesome series!
Love videos like this of old abandoned cars. Always some cool/sad stories behind them.
Love the S15, such a nice design. Almost looks like it could have a 4 door cousin
Cheers from Atlanta Mate ! Been waiting to see what you went to Okinawa for 😍😍💪🏽 I’m excited for you bro!!
Ayee I have those same ganador reps on my s14.5!! I personally love the way they look on an s15 front and have never seen anybody else rockin them ! Sick s15 dude !!
Fly me out and I’ll work for you!!! 😭 You inspire me so much. I’ve always wanted to move to Japan and get into the jdm scene. You are literally living my dream 😅
Duuuude thats sick!! I saw that car a while back on Jasons channel, super cool that you'll save it!
I am very excited! The car has so much potential and it's nice to see one that was left for dead will be revived. More of these need to be saved.
That’s absolutely beautiful, what a legendary find..!
I saw that car in that area back in 2019 several times just withering away in the field. Glad it's finally leaving to a better place and new owner who will bring it back to its glory!
Sam making some crazy moves can't wait to get some more content on this new rig
Really excited for this car. Can’t wait to see it running
Can’t wait to watch the contact and see how it turns out it’s looks amazing and remind me of my Nissan 300ZX (Z31) when I first got her. You inspired me to go back to my home town (Kobe) and pick up drifting and racing again
Yo! I actually know the guy that built this car, can't believe you guys found it like this
Wonder why the other owners of the cars couldn't just take their cars back after the owner of the shop ran off. You can definitely tell this was built by a US guy with the choice of parts. Surprised to see a Dakota Digital gps speed sensor on there, that's some boomer shit, but their products are quality. I used to be a dealer for those guys.
100% Mishimoto rad in japan is like commiting a crime
@@mo75841 I have a major axe to grind with Mishimoto...
Was wondering the same like why could they not just organise a tow and pick their cars up?
Maybe the people who own the cars got deployed off the Island.
@@StevensUncle While that seems to be the case for the S15 owner, I can't see all of the remaining cars being under the same circumstances.
Sick find man can’t wait to hear it running
Jason is the nicest guy ever I have been watching him for years! He deserves more views
Damn wouldn't it be sweet to buy the property you found the car on!! Absolutely beautiful views
The potential for this beauty is endless. Great find
That was my old house back in 2013-2015 when I was stationed there on Oki. So it used to have a 32GTR outside of it. And it had an amazing concrete parking lot where the shop was. They destroyed it all to make that shop.
I love this collaboration. Summit with the Cpt great work guys .
this s15 is absolutely beautiful. idc what anyone says. it's on bags too. OMG THIS CAR IS SOOO AMAZING. thank you for saving a jdm legend like this. one more thing to add though. please meet up with the original owner once this car is done just to show him the work and effort you've put into this beautiful car
I’m excited for this build can’t wait to see it shiny clean and running
If there was any car that I could salvage it would be the Toyota soarer always love the shape of it
That shop looks so cozy nice place to hang out by the ocean view
So hyped on this project!!
I can’t wait to see the restoration videos of this S15
Awesome man, all around a good buy. Was hoping you’d have dropped the amount you spent on it!
Can't wait to see it restored mate!
Really surprised all that stuff is still there, you know damn well, if this was Australia, that shop would have been emptied long ago.
car looks epic keep the colour and a rocket bunny kit would look mega on this
POV: you are a 15 year old kid
How do u know
Hyped for this Projekt
So glad to see someone reviving this car
This kids knowledge impresses me! He knows his stuff. ❤️
I am so excited to see this thing drifting at ebisu. I like the color, i think a cherry red would be nice too. Good find.
Interesting find. I think it has amazing potential. I hope you accomplish this build.
Like a dimond in the ruff. I'm happy 4 u sammit. I would love to find something like that near me. So I know your loving it.
I just watched this on Capt Two6’s channel and I can’t believe you bought it. That is awesome! Small world.
This is one of your best videos what a sick find and location🔥👌🏻
Damn that’s a hit! I’m so happy for you!! Can’t wait to see what’s going to happen! I feel you’ll move faster on this than the evo an the r32 🤷🏻♂️ an if I could get anything it would have to be a kenmeri or to be honest any skyline really besides the r33 4 door gts25! But I’m open to any fairlady z’s or s12,13,14,15? Such a beautiful an lucky culture!
I been visiting Okinawa for years as it's very close to Taiwan. Every time I'm there I see awesome cars. Now the other car is pick up that silver Evo that had rear damage. Keep up the great content.
Funny how Sam mentioned how "different" it was. Okinawa is technically part of japan today, but historically, it was its own Trade kingdom which had its unique cultural elements of china, thailand, and japan mixed in. It wasn't until a couple hundred years ago that japan colonized it
0:04 yo dawg your hotel room reminds me of when i vacationed in Daytona Beach Florida, had a beachfront penthouse with a balcony and my balcony shades was always open so I had the Sunrise alarm clock that whole week I was there. Cool video Sammit
Whoa Mama the Work Meister wheels are nice. Well the whole car is nice but dang what a find
Saw the video of capt and thought it gotta be saved! Good looks sam!🤙🏽🤙🏽
excited to see the progress of this car
I'm so glad that you've found an S15 that you can practice and use for comp
Soo hyped for the upcoming content on the now not abandoned s15 😁
My boy @Captwo6 in a collab with the one and only Sammit!! Nice. It’s very satisfying to watch!! Enjoy the car man!!
I was sad when I saw this car in Jason's video previously. I'm happy now that someone is going to save it.
excited to see what color you paint that thing 🤩
Man i love japan contents and that Island is so cool you must stay one week there or more to see all the places there . 👌🏻👌🏻
The projects just don’t stop 🔥
Or finish
@@alexanderglen8109 it takes time lol
this guy owns like 400 cars, every other video is him buying a new car, when your wallet is larger then your mechanic skills
Great vid Sam!
What a great score! Soo awesome.
Hey sam. Love the car and it looks super cool. Mabey do a live video about it. Love your work, keep it up.
This was a crazy awesome find!!
Ima come back to this vid when this thang gets rebuilt, this builds gonna be fire!
Looking forward to this build!
Excited to see what you do with this!!
Btw I think you can get a Spec R with a sun roof
hats off to so many restoration projects !
Jason is a champ, what an honorable guy!
Love the s15. I recently brought a spec R s15 in Australia. Loving the vids keep it up 👌
Okinawa is a beautiful island, would love to go back with the family one day and show them around.
Hell yeah! Fuccin cut 26 is the shit! Dammit sammit! You hella came up on a gem! Watch out for the s ail under the hood. Lolol. Wow. Just wow! You guys are amazing!
This is like FarCry but with JDM cars. I love this shit so much dude. Damn.
Sammit this content is some of the best you’ve made IMO
That is awesome it’s nice to have a new start working on it specially with your ride I’ll be sound
Looks like it was a cool shop. the location is crazy cool.. apart from the natural salt water probably not being great.
KEEP IT BLUE!!!! So sick. Congrats
Ahh sam saving another car lets goo 🖤🖤
Oh yeah I'm looking forward to this car!!!
Welcome to my hometown! Hope you liked Okinawa 🤗🇯🇵
damn...this beast of a build, the 180, and the r33 sitting break my heart
Thanks for watching the leaving a comment 😊... contact me on $telegram, you've been shortlisted 🎁🎊🎁.🎄
Damn!!! i remember seeing this s15 on a video! 🔥🔥
Great episode.💯👍
Nice to see you saving this car!
so hyped!
Man the s15 is my dream car. I got a built up ecoboost as I finally got sick of waiting for an American s series car remake and bought the closest thing. The only other rwd 4 cylinder coupe options here in the us are a Miata with an weak motor, a Subaru with an unreliable motor or a bmw with an unreliable motor. Seriously that is the coolest car ever.
You are so lucky, in my country Greece we see this cars only in are dreams!
every time a vid of yours catches my eye its a banger.
Luv the barn finds epic !!! That hilux id want but looking for one with no rust so probably not a good one 😉
Has like 6 unfinished projects*
Buys another*
One can never have enough projects.. my backyard is proof of that too..
Absolutely, full support to him. It's just such a trope for car people at this point haha.
At least its another legendary car in good hands. Better than seeing it rust away in a jungle
Buys car, washes car, the end.
