Hello from Berkeley, CA

[neosilvia]

Hi, I'm John. I found this page when I was searching for information on the S15 and it looks like the place to be for S15 owners. I purchased my S15 earlier this year for race duty. Unfortunetly, since I am in California, as much as I would love to drive it on the road, it is not street legal here. It is a work in progress, but alot is already done. Anyway, glad I found the S15 owners club.

Very nice!!!
Have you got any more pics with the door open of the Zeta III seats... i was looking to get one!

How is the F-Con pro??? What benifits would you get for changing to a M400??? the only people here who i'd trust to tune the M400 got deported!

 

[Bry]

Looks amazing!!!!!!! Great job you've done there,although if I could change one thing it would be the wheel centers to Black,just don't think the Blue looks right,but hey,as long as you like it

 

[Nicely]

That's gorgeous :smitten:

I am getting ignition cut at 5.5-6K under hard acceleration out of turns and the only shops around me now that can tune the HKS unit are a 6 hour drive away. I have local tuners here that can work with the M400.
I only have one picture with the door open with the bride seats, I already removed them to replace them with Momo seats.

I love this car, I only wish I could have one as a daily driver.

Is it the federal title which is causing the problem or is it the strict california emissions rules?

 

[neosilvia]

State title. This car was never sold here so there is no crash testing and the like done. You can always work with emissions if you can get the car titled. I could have called it a 200sx and gone through a lengthy process to try to get it titled, but decided to keep it on the track.

 

[LuPix_S15]

Wow - this car is a beauty

Nice to see you on S15OC :thumbs:

 

[PhilV]

wow thats stunning, not feeling the blue wheels tho

 

[sillbeers15]

With stock bottom end, a GT-RS and stage1 256/264 cams....your setup is kind of similar to mine. Are you pushing 380ps - 400ps?

Fuel cut at 4-5k rpm on F-con pro...??? I've never heard of these problems with most Jap after market ECMs.

 

[channie]

Those seats are awsome!!!
Is it a fault with the F-con then?
Are you gunna be selling the unit???

 

[Topper]

Wow , really like the car mate :thumbs:

 

[Endless]

Really nice car and setup! wouldn't that big 3-pieces rims a bit heavy for track use?

 

[mitch]

Hi John, that's a really nice car you have there :nod: :thumbs:

 

[Kango]

Blimey, that's lovely. Welcome to the club mate.

It's at 400hp. I don't have anyone in my area that can tune the HKS. Not sure if its ingition or fuel at this point. It is only under hard acceleration pushing the car to the max. I don't have anyone in this area that can tune the HKS, it has to be done by an HKS authorized dealer. I am sure it can be worked out and it is probably a decent computer, but without the ability to tune it, it is worthless to me. I was almost sold on going with Motec, but now I am giving Apexi some thought as I already run that on my RX-7.

The 3 piece rims were done by the previous owner. They look great to me, but they just aren't doing it for the track. As part of the suspension work I am going to do, new wheels are in order. Something fairly economical, in a lightweight one piece, so I can buy 2 to 3 sets. I will most likely be running Hankook for the tires.

Bride seats, cusco roll cage, iForged wheels, HKS fCon will be up for sale Tein Flex coilovers with EDFC, rear seats, stock boos guage, all interior trim, center console, stereo, ect, will all be up for sale eventually. I am waiting till all the work is done so I can put everything up for sale at the same time. I do not think anything is wrong with the fcon, just no way for me to get it tuned, without driving 8 hours to do so.
