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 ;)

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
