2002 Nissan Silvia S15 Spec R - Fresh Jap Import - Wheels On & Detailed Page 4

[Eager]

If you get that far.... Gt3071r is awesome on a sr20 I changed from my 2871 to 3071 and some cams
Made 430 horse iirc.

Is it still 6 speed?

That is brilliant! Absolutely love s15s. Silvias in general to be fair.

Seen a Spec R for sale a couple of weeks back and was so tempted but they're still strong money over here. Wouldn't have a clue how much you would pay for one from Japan. Would love one of these or another R33. RWD, boost and jap can't be beaten in my opinion.

Absolutely love s15s in black, stunning car. I cant wait to see where you go with her. Enjoy!

Great buy, looks very fresh! Mate has just imported one very similar and has put me in the mood for one.
You can get those aero-catches with locks if you'd be afraid of someone opening the bonnet while you were away from the car.

Wheels have arrived!

18"x9.75" ET20 XXR 527's in Gold

I'll use these until I find a nice set of genuine wheels that I like

They'll look a million times better that the awful things that are on it, my main priority was to get them off lol​

Xxr are a lovely wheel I think to be fair. Get a few pics up when you get tires mounted I'm running 215/35 on a 10" and I am changing to 225/35 as I am tortured with leaking air at the bead no matter how much I paste it. You should run it low and go 225/35 as 235/40 is a bit tall for me.

Yeah I really like them in the flesh!

Tyres going on tomorrow, I'll have them fitted tomorrow evening, and see what spacers I need

I've got 225/40 for the front and 255/35 for the rear, I don't want to run it too low, I want it to be handily driven on most roads, but we'll see how that goes! Lol

Ordered a Genuine Skunk2 Gear Knob last night too, the one that's in it looks to be the original but it's very tatty:

 

[JTDi]

Just ordered a new High-Capacity Baffled Sump Kit and a new Magnetic Sump Plug from JapSpeed

And some Tomei Rocker Arm Stoppers just ordered too

[DerekDCMauto]

@JTDi your not allowed to sell it until we get a track day at Aghadowey lol

 

[steaa]

Looking good. Always loved the shape of these cars. What sort of power do these make with exhaust/air intake/remap ?

 

[Eager]

With a good map and all supporting mods intercooler full exhaust etc and max of the stock turbo, around 1.3 bar it should do about 320 horse.

Any updates?
