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.

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

*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

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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
