s15's are ok stock... otherwise they love to shit diffs and gearboxesif you get too excited which is not a good thing.

at least the 6.5 won't break as easy and still make 200-220awkw on a factory turbo and ecu!

cheap, fast, reliable.

they don't sound like the a RB though...

ive just sold my houses so to not go over board ive set my limit to 20k just so i dont have to borrow as much on my next property purchase. if i spend 10k more on a car then thats 10k ill have less for a deposit, 10k less in equity for a construction loan etc etc...

i'd stretch it to 25 if it was a car that i saw to be an absolute dream. other than that its 20.

for example, if i saw an evo7 pushing 250kw, built motor, ecu etc etc etc... i will spend more - it just needs to be CLEAN.

i test drove an s15 spec r, aussie delivered. this thing sucked arse. it had a blown turbo and was rough as guts. drove like a pig. it had 110psi in all cylinders.

i rate it 3/10.

im going to test drive a jap spec and see how i go.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
