lmao Richy... I'll skip the 'you know what' thanks!! :p


Cheers fellas... yeah tempted to take her onto track @ Japfest Castle Combe next year just for a laugh... she won't be modded but be interesting to see how she copes against the other Jap mobiles going around :thumbs:


Sideways - not so sure mate... she's heavy plus auto kinda kills it but suppose it wouldn't hurt to try ;)

Hey James, am I right in thinking there is a pic of your car in the newest edition of total Nissan?

Don't see you on here much these days.

LMAO!!!! I'M BACK MR CRAIG8585!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :p :p


I didn't leave you guys... was just taking a break!! Yup - have signed on all the Stagea forums (or should I say Stagea sections within Skyline forums lol) over Christmas period as there's a few things I want to sort out but NO modding *ahem* *cough*.......... not till I bought Blitz SUS LM induction kit and she now suctions for England woop!!!

Love the RB powerplant Mike... different kettle of fish being 2.5 litres as you can imagine. Does feel pretty torquey even for such a heavy barge and still pulls away nicely. She's deffo above 295 bhp as since it's later RB25DET NEO which was fitted to R34 GTT there was 280 bhp from factory. Also found our looking under car properly last week she came with decat pipe from Japan yeah!!! :D

I'm toying with the idea of removing the carbon canister - looks pretty much same setup as SR engine bay... need to install Depo water/oil temp gauges soon - just waiting to get hose adaptor and sandwich plate from Dan @ SRB Power. Moved my Nismo boost gauge from middle of dash cluster on top of steering column (couldn't see what gear I was in when using tiptronic grrr?!) and she's out of the way after moving wires and re-connecting etc.

See... I'm not modding cos I could have bought a bling bling 60mm boost gauge but decided to just keep the old skool Nismo item which basically has a 5W light bulb connection and a boost pipe feeding the back... function > form haha ;)


Even managed to get the backend out a few times quite easily and she holds drift well considering there's no LSD :) Traction off, first gear and away you go!!



Got some more plans over next few months like Ferodo DS2500 pads for more bite and track work... gonna get couple of sessions in at Japfest this year - organising Club JDM stand so will no doubt see a few of you S15 pretty boys at this venue if not before :p

Mate Japfest was my goal date to have the S15 finnish but that looks like quite a long shot considering I done my sums and I think am looks at another easy £12000 before its 100% finnish :wack:

lol it's all 'tidying' up stuff at the mo... the air panel filter was dirty so I changed it to induction kit to clear up space in the area and it looks da bomb innit haha :D


Coilpacks were a must cos Jurgen had already sussed a dodgy coilpack issue when I collected the car so he didn't have time to fit the upgrade units and ordered a complete set from Conceptua and sent them to my house which meant I did the fitting work... not a problem and allowed me to work on car for first time hehe ;)


Turbo elbow, boost controller, SSQV... they're all 'tidy up' items :p *whistles*
