Hi all, well most probably wouldn't know me cause I usually lurk in the background and I've barely been on here since selling my 33 a while back. But shortly I'll be behind the wheel of another Nissan!

I pickup my S15 Spec R on Friday - Can't wait!

It's bog stock, but the hunt for parts has already begun, will chuck it on the dyno next week before the mods begin :D

Hopefully be out cruising soon, if Silvia's are welcome of course?

I'd better change that avatar of mine...

how many KW are you hoping for?

IMO - KW is for bragging to your friends. The real test is how the car performs, and whether it meets what you expect of the car. You may have 400rwkw with a turbo that comes on hard later on in the rev range, but if you can't get traction then what's the use.

Its stock cause its on a lease...

She works for QLD Gov so we cant modify it in any way...

However her lease runs out in june 07 so then its time for a FMIC, Turbo, Injectors, Pistons, Rods...

You name it and she has got it on her shopping list...

I have owned 2 skylines in the past... sold my last one 3 months ago.. i was in dillema as to whether i get an S15 R / R33 GTR or a Supra.

i had the best opportunity with the Supra so i took it.

and i must say its an awesome car.

NS.com will give ya a good welcome just like Supraforums.com did.

Any reason you went with the slower Spec R, over the Spec S?

(not having a go at you, just curious?)

Is it because of more luxury/extras?

I don't think the spec R is slower than the spec S...aren't they identical engine wise apart from additional aesthetics on the spec R??

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
