That would explain why a slightly moded jap spec will spank an aussie version with the same mods. however start changin the oz spec engine managment and u have the identical car!

Don't forget guys with the aus version S15 if you go for an aftermarket ecu,

Eg: Apexi Power FC you have to switch wire 30/31 on ecu wiring harness to run the fuel pump & i think the CAS.

:D

jap spec has bigger injectors, and a 6 bolt roller bearing turbo compared to the aussie 5 bolt. the steering wheels are nicer in the jap spec, the exhaust in both is very simiar and from my experience the difference in boost is minimal if at all different. ice performance have told me that the most they are able to speeze out of the aussie spec is about 180rwkw and jap spec more like 215rwkw. I have witnessed first hand two of my freinds going at it. one had a stock japspec the other an aussie spec with catback exhaust, and the japspec raped it everytime

Australia is also hotter and has shitter fuel, so the ADM version has less timing in it. Another reason why you see stock turbo JDM S15 crack ring lands when kids ram in 1 bar of boost with the stock ECU/tune and go to Mexico.

Jdm makes 184kw@fly. Adm makes 147kw@fly.

As noted above Jdm has more timing advance.

Jdm has digital climate control, adm is analogue.

The Jdm's imported where the pre Adm years so i think that was 99 and maybe early 2000.

I wouldn't worry about which one, just buy the best condition example you find. Personally i favour the Adm version as there is less chance of the odometer being wound back and less chance of rust due to climate conditions. They are things to definitely check for on either model.

Aussie versions of cars also end up with factory immobilizors where the Japanese ones won’t 

Then you install a JDM ECU, swap the 2x CAS pins and 1x fuel trigger and off you go - or BYO Haltech/Link/MoTec/ etc.

Poor effort on the NATS lol.

My stock NA 86 makes more @fw than the ADM S15.

I don't want to talk anymore about this though......

 

I like my 86, but I lay awake at night thinking of what could have been.......

Yep, except an s15 can make 200rwkw tuned and around 220rwkw on e85.

Sadly I missed a ultra low km one owner ADM when I was looking.

 

The thing was like new, stored, it had 5000km on it if I recall right, it sold for $28k I believe, which I would have paid.

It was red, a yellow one, exact same condition, owned by the same guy sold about 2 months prior.

I doubt I will ever see one in that condition again.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
