I heard it's pointless, cos as soon as you put local fuels in it, you loose pwr and end up only similar pwr with local delivered ones... and you only have 180 speedo. But I heard the leather steering wheel looks nicer in jap version than the local plastic ones.

Why not start with local S15 and mod it up? at least you got warranty if u buy it new and local delivered ones usually holds its value better...

there is a slight difference. power being the 1st. the silvia badging,.... i think maybe injectors or something, wait for dark to dig it up. oh the reflectors in the rear bumber arent in the jdm and the years 1999 jdm later aus.

id personally buy a jdm spec r over an australian one.

sorry.. i cant find the site..

but its a webpage of someone on this forum, with a fully JDM converted white S15..

i remember, it had a popup dash monitor, and headlight washers, rear wiper.. stuff like that..

different tubro

electric fold mirror

crimate control

A pillar boost gauge

badge

rear wipers

leather steering wheel

180 speedo

silightly different head light

surprise, u pay less insurance for Jap import S15 than aus. S15 due to the accident rate

and u can have a Jap S15 for high 20' instead of low-mid 30" aus. spec

To summarise:

JDM > AUS

climate control

xenon hid headlights

tv screen/sat-nav/md

rear windscreen wiper

factory boost gauge/a-pillar

180km instrument cluster

fog lights

ignition keylight illumination

heaps more, see

http://www.bengoodger.com/cars/silvia/jsit...s/options.shtml

*tv screen/sat-nav/md

are option but not standard

i read a few aus. magazine when the car release, mention about smaller tubro in aus. spec due to esmissionyep only jap spec

s15s have BB turbos,

ozzy delivered s15s are non BB, but roll bearing turbos..

i GUESS there is no way a factory Jap S15 is tune for 100 octane, so the jap spec should preformace 184kw in aus. fuel

i'd get a Jap spec one. As they are cheaper, more powerful and rarer.

But nowadays S15s are everywhere. oh yeah, its hard to find a good condition jap spec S15.

you'll make the savings buying a jap spec model, but you'll end up paying it all back or even more to insurance...

oz delivered s15 are heaps easier and cheaper to insure

not really

someone found out that Jap spec is CHEAPER to insure due to the accident rate of Aus. spec is so high.

It is cheaper to insure a Aus spec S15, Im sure of it having been on the silvia forums for awhile.:uh-huh:

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
