Rumours say it has a better turbo, but there has never been pictures of the two next to each other for comparison (external & internally) also people say Jap Spec uses 480cc (that's garbage) all S15 Manuals use 450 CC injectors.

As far as I know, all turbo s15 models from 99-00 had ball bearing core, from late 00-02 all changed to bush bearing core. Hence why people say jap specs have bb turbo n aus specs dont, because we only get 99-00 jap spec models imported here. from late 00-02, s15s were officially for sale on aus market so no jap specs were allowed to import to aus. All s15 injectors are red top 480cc. Aus spec s15s were detuned to suit our lower octane fuel + you mentioned above.

Hey mate couple of Q's.

Does it have logbook service history?

Has it had 100'000km service or is this still due?

Any accident history?

What sort of $$ to keep the current wheels (and are the new tyres on the S15 rims or the new ones as I am guessing they're different sizes?

Any interior pics please?

hey mate,

Yes the log book comes with the car,

Yes service has been done and chain tensioner kit has been installed

it has never had an accident with me and no witness marks on chassis rails from any accidents ..

the wheels are real Rays and they are worth a bit of coin so i wouldnt want to let them go with the car but if someone really wanted them we could work something out..

Standard shadow chrome s15 wheels are currently fitted on the car and have goodyear tyres on them they are in good shape and all the same size..

interior pics on request just msg me and i will mms you a pic of what ever you want..

here is the answer to the BB turbo or not question..

in the centre of the turbo (ie the section between the front housing and rear housing... there are a bunch of numbers..

466541 = ball bearing

466543 = bush bearing

for the second bit of the number

-001 = S14 turbo (no splitter between wastegate and turbine exit)

-002 = S15 turbo (splitter between wastegate and turbine exit)

Some jap and some Aus specs got BB and others didn't.

so it's a mixed bag of turbos on each version of the car.

It dosent make a difference, I would rather have a Aus Spec knowing that it is a good car, not wound back km's original engine gearbox etc etc..

?

I have seen a BMW 1 Series i really like and want to buy.. so my s15 has to go, it has been a good car to me..

Also, AUDM would be easier/cheaper to insure than JDM.

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
