Japanese Performance Article

[Nicely]

Some of you may remember me mentioning taking my car for a magazine photo shoot a couple of months back.

The article in Japanese Performance magazine has come out this month. Its a sort of new buyer's profile on the S14 and S15 (from the UK perspective).

As most of the people on here aren't UK based, I've scanned the article.

Nissan 200SX/Silvia S14/S15 Profile (750KB PDF)

Change the page layout to 'Facing' to view it best.

very nice more people in uk would look for an s15 very soon :thumbs:

 

[Nicely]

I provided a lot of the S15 info and one of the SXOC guys gave a load of the buying info for the S14. However, they still managed to go their own way and get stuff wrong (tan leather in the S14, S15 sold in the US, 0-60 time for the S14... )

The S15OC got a small mention though.

Good info there, does the S15 share chassis parts with the R34 though??

 

[Nicely]

The Helical diff. Not exactly 'chassis parts' though... I mentioned the diff to him, not the chassis (except that it was a lot tighter).

hehe i didnt know they sold the S15 in the USA humm ppl just seem to stil get things wrong even tho u tell them

 

[Nicely]

They didn't make them for any LHD markets I think I said...

 

[kenji]

Yer i think US will only get imports, no localised versions..

What I've read so far. The US guys can't get the S15 road legal.
Some have however been complied but they aren't legal and could be defected anytime. And that would mean bye bye S15

Think I've read it on the drifting.com forum.
If you feel like it run a search for Silvia S15 and you might find the thread I'm talking about

Edit: Cant read the file from work. Damn old work computer. Will read it when a get home

 

[sushiming]
