neither.. not unless it was a jap import - there wont be any australian released ones either.

there are (although quite rare) SR20DE S14s around...

power/speed/weight wise.. similar to an SR20 180 or s13 would be a safe guess

They are around... JDM cars though and few and far between... S15's as eug said are very light so i imigane they would be compariable to a NA 33 or 34, they also got the new version SR with VVt.

NA JDM S15s used to be available in Australia before RAWS came out, don't think there are being brought out any more.

I don't see the point to them, may as well get a faster DC2 Integra Type R if you want a good handling NA coupe with high rev performance. I had a Prelude VTiR before and it was very chuckable around corners and had a strong top end.

Spec S was the non turbo and Spec R was the turbo version in Japan. In Aus, they were both turbo but spec R had better options and a sunroof.

I have driven an NA S15 and that was slow as! Its ok i suppose but the Aus Del turbo version was much nicer. JDM was even better.

Havent driven an NA R34 before so i wouldnt know

You can't import regular N/A S15's (and they weren't sold locally)... BUT you can import Autech tuned N/A S15's. Which come with the Autech SR20DE which makes about 175hp. I wouldn't say they're much more faster than an R34. They cost about $23,000 and more landed and complied (plus rego costs etc).. although they're quite rare at that end of the price range. They're lighter than an R34 N/A, but the R34 has a 2.5L engine that puts out about the same power.

You can also import a S15 Varietta (convertible), but you won't be able to afford one (going by the budget you gave in your other thread).

Locally sold S15 turbo's are around the same price as the Autech N/A's but they're turbos n not good for P platers like you.

Lucky Autech is considered a manufacturer, or otherwise it'd still run afoul of the NSW P-plater laws that say you can't have a car where the engine performance is "modified".

technically as far as DOTARS knows "Autech" is a spec of S15, which is why the Autech N/A's are listed as a variant on the regular S15's :huh: sneaky sneaky :P

My understanding when reading....I can't even remember which magazine, probably HPI.....is that Autech's cars have their own VIN plates. They're not Nissan's. If I remember, it was an article about the Tex Modify tuned Autech Stagea 260RS.

Which makes them an OEM of sorts, so anything they do to the car is "factory".

So, they're like HSV / CSV down here. Those cars don't have Holden VIN plates, even though the donor vehicles are Holdens and HSV / CSV are technically different companies.

THATS SICK!

Meh, i took the easy way out and got a 32 gts. I'm sure alot of people have said this, but i'll say it again. Get a "Shitbox" learn on it, save money then buy whatever you want. Trust me, Practicing on my na 32 is good, i probably would of crashed if i had a powerfull car.

You must be really keen to own an S15 on a "restricted" license if you'll spend $30K on a non-turbo S15......

I suppose you can always sell it when you get your full license to another P plater who wants an S15 shape. Maybe it'll retain value better than the turbo ones for that reason, but your buying market will be extremely limited and P platers aren't generally reknown for having lots of money.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
