Ah Righto, no good for a cruise?? Well scope it out and see I guess.

The road to broke looks like a 1 lane situation too. I suppose sat Arvo will be one o the busiest times so today will be a good test.

Nah should be fine, one of the better roads close to newy I have driven

Its a f**king animal!!!!!! Was nothing wrong with it, was just me being paranoid and i think i got used to the standard pull to 5k, opened it up to 7k today for the 1st time and FFFFFFAAAAAARRRRKKKKKKKK, that just about explains it.

and the new rad has taken 15 degrease off my water temps i was sitting around 95 now im at 80-85

Not this one man! You want 6 puk at least! I spoke to Jim about that one the other day breifly....

Plus clutches like that don't have a power rating, too many variables so people just pick a number, although 400-600 isn't uncommon for a JB clutch lol

Also, in urgent need of a Respray on my bonnet, like before Friday, anyone got any hook ups that do a mint job without costing a million $??

Nah f**k that I am trying to stay stealth :)

I'll ask Ant....

yeh on that stealth view, im going to get a hard pipe FMIC kit, and get all my pipes sprayed gloss black, so all i will have is a black engine bay with the red twin turbo and the red engine cover should look sick

Wow,

Just had a very eventful evening.

Got my full licence and decided to celebrate!

So I took the S15 for my first proper drive with it on the street. Felt so good. ....suffice to say got a few strange looks when I hit the brakes (metal on metal on the rear).

But could not wipe the smile off my face! Felt good being able to drive a turbo FR

Also just waiting on the rear brake pads to come in then the brake install will be ready to go!

Whos in for a convoy to wakefield for the SauNats?!

Im looking at you

have you been peaking in my enigine bay? - exactly the look i'm going for!

Thanks Wedge,

What sucks is that since the 10 month hiatus from having a non turbo FR, I've readjusted all my habits to suit the FF layout in the '90 corolla (which has no power steering), so getting used to the whole FR layout again in a turbo car is a bit of a steep learning curve.

The S15 has about 100rwkw as everything is stock, but I feel it has enough power to be a handful. That said, even though I got a 1:19 lap time at Wakefield first time driving the car, in all honesty, I think I have a lotttt to learn which is why I need to be very careful for the first year or two.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
