jamesmark Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 There are a couple of things that I do not like about it. One the colour but christ did everyone buy them in Green? and the silly S15 lightening bolt and the stupid stickers will be coming off.

jamesmark Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Nice thats what i had before i got the supra mine had 350 bhp 350 bhp. http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn158/supramatt_photos/cleancars037.jpg Bring on Stage 2, 555cc injectors and a Power FC standalone. Maybe a different Turbo and boost raised to 1.4 bar, then should see some good gains. Will stop after that as then it will be a rebuilt engine by APT to cope with the power. Boost at the moment is set at 1.1 bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex C Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Sweet looking brakes! Was very close to getting an S14a prior to my Z32...wish I had now, power to weight ratio for a well tuned one is better, plus look how much easier it is to work on. Nice choice, enjoy the roundabouts:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 I will give a full report once I get it. I must admit it feels great to be driving a manual again (after 2 auto Supra's, and the Omega which is the 2nd car and an auto too). Obviously it is not a Supra etc etc, however it felt just as quick on the test drive, it went up to 120 leptons very very quickly with no effort what so ever and it was not even pedal to the metal. Only time will tell if I truely like it, but the test drives I have had in them have convinced me enough to buy one. However I would not want a standard one as that is to big a come down.

tDR Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Very nice! Get a GT28RS on it and 350bhp is easy. They're very quick cars when tuned because of their light weight. Not as smooth as a Supra but still a lot of fun to drive in a more dramatic to drive kinda way. Also excellent to drift, very very natural - I've drifted a few and really enjoyed it. You will need to watch the transmission though, that is very much the weakpoint on these and the S13's. In fact the S15's 6-sp box is rumoured to be even weaker! I minced my S13's box at about 290bhp... There are upgrade options in this department like OS-Giken 3 or 5 gear kits that go in the standard gearbox housing or you can buy a conversion kit to fit the much stronger 300ZX or Skyline GTSt boxes. Each option costs a fair bit though! Enjoy Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Mark, Have you signed up with sxoc yet? One of my colleagues is on there and he's forever buying bits through the forum at really good prices. Can you also PM me the price you paid? I know these are relatively cheap and I've always fancied a dabble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
