Rumours say it has a better turbo, but there has never been pictures of the two next to each other for comparison (external & internally) also people say Jap Spec uses 480cc (that's garbage) all S15 Manuals use 450 CC injectors.

As far as I know, all turbo s15 models from 99-00 had ball bearing core, from late 00-02 all changed to bush bearing core. Hence why people say jap specs have bb turbo n aus specs dont, because we only get 99-00 jap spec models imported here. from late 00-02, s15s were officially for sale on aus market so no jap specs were allowed to import to aus. All s15 injectors are red top 480cc. Aus spec s15s were detuned to suit our lower octane fuel + you mentioned above.

Hey mate couple of Q's.

Does it have logbook service history?

Has it had 100'000km service or is this still due?

Any accident history?

What sort of $$ to keep the current wheels (and are the new tyres on the S15 rims or the new ones as I am guessing they're different sizes?

Any interior pics please?

hey mate,

Yes the log book comes with the car,

Yes service has been done and chain tensioner kit has been installed

it has never had an accident with me and no witness marks on chassis rails from any accidents ..

the wheels are real Rays and they are worth a bit of coin so i wouldnt want to let them go with the car but if someone really wanted them we could work something out..

Standard shadow chrome s15 wheels are currently fitted on the car and have goodyear tyres on them they are in good shape and all the same size..

interior pics on request just msg me and i will mms you a pic of what ever you want..

here is the answer to the BB turbo or not question..

in the centre of the turbo (ie the section between the front housing and rear housing... there are a bunch of numbers..

466541 = ball bearing

466543 = bush bearing

for the second bit of the number

-001 = S14 turbo (no splitter between wastegate and turbine exit)

-002 = S15 turbo (splitter between wastegate and turbine exit)

Some jap and some Aus specs got BB and others didn't.

so it's a mixed bag of turbos on each version of the car.

It dosent make a difference, I would rather have a Aus Spec knowing that it is a good car, not wound back km's original engine gearbox etc etc..

Bump good car.. com on guys..!!

then why u selling it? lol...

?

I have seen a BMW 1 Series i really like and want to buy.. so my s15 has to go, it has been a good car to me..

Also, AUDM would be easier/cheaper to insure than JDM.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
