Nissan Silvia S15 Spec R

[Addicted]

An age-old problem, which is now being changed, so fear not.

 

[-Jamie-]

It isn't what you pay it for though FFS.

 

[McGherkin]

How did we get on to 'road tax' anyway? Speed bumps are not caused by poor maintenance.

OP, that sucks :anguished:

 

[Philip.]

Not much of an update but this is my first gopro video! Bang, bang, bang.



Oh and it got MOT'd today, no advisories and brought a bit of a crowd to the garage, lol.

 

[Addicted]

Where's the accelerations!?

 

[Philip.]

It was only my test video, was scared of the gopro falling off, I even tied it up 😂

Heading out on Sunday for more goes and other angles!

 

[socialmisfit]

Phil!

Breaking my 14! Got a walbro sat here and a good few other parts you may be interested in!

Ohhh, what bits do you have mate?

 

[Inequality Street]

I actually wouldn't have a clue what these would be worth. I'm toying with the idea of importing something cool now I will soon have my own house. Or a bike.

Either way, love your car!

Thanks pal, I have more plans after this month when holidays are out of the way and done with.

I'd get looking though as the prices are rocketing on nearly everything! Mines worth about a grand more than I paid for it. :frowning:

 

[Advikaz]

Looks nice mate. Not too OTT which is good to see.

 

[Philip.]

Thanks mate

 

[Inequality Street]

Thanks mate :smile:

How're things getting on with this? I still constantly dribble over pictures in here!

Hahah, okay thanks mate!
In need of a service. Got some Titan SuperSynth 5w40 oil and waiting for some NGK plugs and a walbro uprated pump to whack in too.

Half in the process of ordering bits; origin lab roof spoiler, greddy profec boost controller, etc. Only thing that's annoying when ordering from Japan is the exchange rate.
So might hold off until it improves a little again, especially because it's a fairly big order.

Clutch also needs doing, think i've been a bit hard on it and it's juddering off and on when warm. No slippage though so it can wait.
When it's time i'll order a lightened flywheel from Driftworks and an Exedy.

If changing clutch order a nismo super copper mix had them in both my S15, one was 360hp and other 450hp and felt like a clutch from a fiesta. So light and easy to use. Well worth the money and come with an uprated lightened flywheel.

How much do they normally cost?
I've looked at importing an ORC clutch and flywheel. They have rave reviews on s15oc!

 

[Mr R.]

What sites are you looking at Phil?
Is it just Nissan stuff or do they do impreza bits?

I want a turbo blanket, clutch and fly wheel and other bits.

 

[Philip.]

For parts from Japan I look on RHD Japan or Nengun, and then email Jesse Streeter for a price as they normally get them cheaper (especially postage).

Who is this, 'Jesse' you speak of?

Hero. He moved to Japan and started exporting parts. Always find him/them cheaper, and he can 'alter' postage insurance to keep import duty down.

Excellent link! Tempted by an RM-01A but the landed price here is just ridiculous.

Fire over an email and ask mate. Places over here sold my Kakimoto for £750+VAT+delivery.
I got it for £500 all in, posted from Japan.

They'll give you a few different postage options, they vary in time. Obviously the quicker you want it, the more expensive it is.
Think my postage was 2/3 weeks, and was about £70.

Paid about £650 I think, great clutch seen the ORC ones never used them though.

They do a nismo sports one as well can handle about 350hp but a great clutch and was around the £400 mark

Thanks for the info mate! I'll have to have a look as it does need one.
I see you have an R34....build thread to make us JDM fanatics jealous

 

[adamlstr]

I see you have an R34

Looks like it's a VSpec II too, hubba hubba.

I shipped a chap out to Japan recently who was starting an export business of JDM parts/cars. Should have found out more really.

You shipped the guy himself in a crate? :smirk:

 

[Joshua.J]

Haha will set one up as going to be on here bit more trying to find a 182 daily

 

[Philip.]

A s**t video of the exhaust, that flutter though.



I was going to go out and do some drive by's last night, but didn't fancy being in a hedge (again) with the rain.

 

[Inequality Street]

Mmmmmmmmm

 

[imprezaworks]

[Philip.]

Cheers!
I need to try and get it flaming on camera too, looks brilliant. 😂

Just noticed that has nearly 100k on the clock!
Mine's on 74k :blush:

 

[Mr R.]

I didn't know they had one bud tbh.

Mines on 40,500. [emoji106]
I'll see if Rich at FB can get mine flaming when it goes back for its map to be checked.

Car looks great as always bud. [emoji41]

 

[Philip.]

Went out in betweens shower last night for some pics.
It was extremely windy, so even with a heavy metal tripod 50% of the pics were blurry. :unamused:

I've received the correct oil filter for a service now too, so that'll happen in the coming week.
Also been looking at 2way diffs, unsure.

And yes, I did a f**king massive donut in the space before I went home.
