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..

Bump good car.. com on guys..!!

?

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.

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
