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..

?

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.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
