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 ;)

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
