Yeah, took me about a week to figure that out! Thought they were for the stereo (as mine wasn't working when I got it)

Just to add a twist to the thread, what different techniques do people use to drive with there tiptronic?

Just smash through at open throttle

Or back off when you change

not being super awesome racecar driver or machanic ... id say open throttle as your ecu would provide retard for gear shift in tip tronic? but i could be wrong, i dont use the tip tronic at all.

Just smash threw the gears at the limiter... hearing the stagea backfire was one of the coolest things of owning one...

and down shifting at high revs and hearing the burble and popping sounds out the back as the revs dropped got a few odd looks as people has no idea what was going on...

I tried the back off before changing.. but i felt it was way to rough on the gear box.. back off change gear slam for down.. didnt feel right to me..

Bad point was forgetting your in trip tonic mode and your on a long drive, as it down gears for you at a stand still.

Go to take of at the green 1st gear would be bouncing of the limiter real fast haha

Quick slap of the gearstick slingshots the car into second

I use manual mode in my PM35 most of the time around town, I don't lift off on up shifts, downshifting is cool as the ECU takes care of rev matching for you.

I suffer the same bad point as RBPOWA. Still trying to figure out how to trick the ECU to allow brake and throttle to get the toque converter up to speed for launches.

    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy.
