In the realm of JDM legends, throtl's Nissan S15 emerges as a phoenix from the ashes, making its way to the shores of the USA after a quarter-century. The challenge? Revive this automotive relic within a mere 24 hours. Armed with an arsenal of performance parts - an SR20 DET engine, EVC brakes, and Motegi battles with Falcon Aenas Tires - the team sets out on a restoration odyssey. From clutch replacements to engine priming, every moment is a ticking time bomb of adrenaline and grease.

As the clock ticks, the team encounters hurdles like overlong flywheel bolts and a stubbornly rusted fuel pump, adding a dramatic twist to their race against time. Despite setbacks, including a flooded engine scare, the team's determination shines through as they coax the S15 back to life. With meticulous attention to detail, they restore the headlights, fit the Motegi battles with Falcon Aenas RT 660 tires, and give the car a thorough detailing - a symphony of automotive resurrection unfolding before our eyes.

Finally, after a valiant effort that falls just short of the 24-hour mark, the Nissan S15 roars back to life, its engine purring with newfound vigor. The team's triumph is not just in reviving a dormant icon but in breathing new life into a piece of automotive history. The S15 stands as a testament to passion, perseverance, and the unyielding spirit of automotive enthusiasts.
