Jap Spec S15 Vs Aus Spec S15

[SIR33]

HEY GUYS, WHAT ARE THESE DIFFERENCES IN EVERY ASPECT BETWEEN THESE TWO VEHICLES???

[Mr. Oizo]

there was a site around somewhere.. i'll try and dig it up for u

[rs73]

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...

[akeenan]

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.

[Kutter]

JDM has rear wipers.

[Mr. Oizo]

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

*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

[HKSgtst]

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.

[HKSgtst]

Usually all the aust spec S15s are pampered like crazy. all are in good condition unlike em jap specs. Another reason to get an aust spec. :uh-huh:

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