Silvia S15's cam in base models and Autech models.

Spec S came with 5 speed manuals or 4 speed Autos.

Spec R came in 6 speed manuals and I think Auto as well but ADM.

Autech models I heard come in both, manual and auto.

Is there a model thats NA and not autech? Like just a sr20

LOl, No, I am talking about a hardtop s15 pretty much like the autech version, without the autech if you get that?

Yes, in Japan, they were the Spec-S'.

Almost, Were the cars Autech tuned made especially for them for that reason? If not were there detuned versions for sale for say a NA s15 silvia

The Varietta was built by Autech and based on the Spec-S model.

Powered by a SR20DE (N/A, same as the Spec-S in Japan) and with a choice of the 4-speed automatic or the 5-speed manual.

Was released with a retractable hard top.

Autech specifically tune Nissan cars.

It was founded in 1986 as a subsidiary of Nissan.

They also tune the engines for the Nismo R34 GTR and 350Z JGTC GT500 cars.

Ok So s15's sold in Australia spec S and spec R were both sr20det, while the s15 spec S in japan was NA and the spec R -det.

Edit: Just read somewhere else that jap s15 spec S sr20de isn't allowed to be imported, Would that still qualify for sevs import or just not at all?

I believe so.

You will have check with the Car Importing business.

ie, go and ask an import dealer or PM Iron Chef or Carizma International on here (SAU).

If they cannot not be imported, they might explain why both of the ADM S15 Spec - S and Spec - R's are turbo.

The local Nissan dealer must did a bit of a marketing and took Spec - R's, badge them as Spec-S', removed add on parts like the spoiler and sold them cheaper.

They imported the Spec - R sold them for more and would have had all the add on parts.

Then the Spec - R GT came out.

Spec - R GT = Spec - R but with a larger rear spoiler and shiny metal add on parts and I think leather seats.

Mostly cosmetic changes I think.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
