Anyone know which is Jap/ausie version S15.  

Spec S ?

Spec R ?

I think your confused a little.

Japan:

Spec R - SR20DET

Spec S - SR20DE

Australia:

Spec S - SR20DET

Spec R - SR20DET + rear spoiler + side skirts + sunroof + 6 cd stacker

So in Japan, Spec R is the turbo version while Spec S is the NA.

In Australia, both Spec S and R are turbo.

I have owned both too.

I actually like the interior of a 180, except for the seats. I think the long raked dash is pretty sporty and cool. And you seem to sit deeper in these cars, the centre console is higher.

But when I drove a mates skyline it just felt right. The suspension, the steering everything just felt better. So I found myself one.

I will go back to a 180 one day though. It will have my engine in it though. :burnout:

Can i just say (engines aside) that the Skyline is definetely the best looking of the lot inside and out! And it pulls more chicks!:lol:

If there was no such thing as a Skyline (god forbid) then i would go 4 a s14 or s15 and as 4 ppl who reckon that Skylines r 2 common they will never b as common as Lancers Excels Commodores and Falcons and u can personalise Skylines with a thousand different things like bodykits!

:D

Hooray 4 Skylines

33Spec2, couldn't have said it better myself! ;) Nothing wrong with 180SX or 200SX (I considered getting both of these too), but the Skyline's just got more class I reckon. All of my girlfriend's friends think my R33's got more class than 180SX's and 200SX's. It is a bit of an ego boost, though they do put me in my place when they see a Ferrari :):D

If I wanted a faster car for less money, I would have gotten a modified VL turbo.

i think the best comparison is when the gtst and silvia are in stock form. after my initial 1000km, my stock s15 chopped a stock r33 gtst (AIR4S1) in a quarter mile. the power to weight ratio was the deciding factor. even now with exhaust and airfilter, my s15 continue to surprise a lot of gts' and even GTRs!!! :D

....and when it comes to looks.....it's just personal preferences..although when i cruise with my skyline friends...the s15 draws more looks than my friend's R34 GT-T ;)

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
