Isn't that a s15?
or 14.5??

:confused:

:confused:

Well, pic is fuzzy, but I'm certain it's not an S15 and I've never heard of 14.5 ?? although you may be right ??

Certainly from that front end shot looks like an S14 to me with a different body kit and mirrors though, can't make out the rear :)

[Black Nugget]

awesome car mate good work!

Pretty sure its an s15 also....

[InsaneAsylum]

it's an s15.... an s14.5 is an s14 with s15 front end conversion

i hope it's turbo and not one of those jap imported spec s which are non turbo
better not be auto either :p

[poita]

yer defin an S15.

nice buy :)

S14.5, also a strawberry face conversion.

[nuggz]

Gosh thats a decent jump from an astra

oversteer all the way

[R3N]

s15 :)

pfft... insane... as if auto... spec s manual! (ADM tho, so yes... it sneezes)

btm, astra will be going as soon as I can all the stuff off it.

wraith, they make strawberry face conversions (don't ask me about the name) for s14s and 180sx and are called s14.5 and s1580s :)

[InsaneAsylum]

awesome, my mate had one and let me drive it... it bought me lots of enjoyment

the term "strawberry face" came about because of a poor japanese - english translation. surprise surprise :)

front bar looks alright too, is that a vertex?

what mods do you have? my mate just had a 3" exhaust off the turbo, pod filter and "free boost upgrade" which is basially removing a restrictor. the thing was pretty quick for not much coin. previous owner replaced the clutch and nissan had to replace the 6 spd but apart from that it was all good.

[R3N]

yea has a full vertex kit, 3" turbo back exhaust, pod, intercooler, boost controller. i will be sorting out the suspension next. its ****ing awesome to drive!

[btm]

must feel so different to the astra!

[Greg K]

awesome car matey!!! hope you enjoy it!

[lithium]

looks fun
i hope you've been doing donuts and getting stuck into that power-on oversteer that you'll never get with the Astra :cool:

[Dowie]

That looks awesome mate. Ive been looking at S15 as my next car for the past few months. Would love to see some more pictures of it.
What other plans do you have for it?

[R3N]

better pics ;)

I can see why you would think that was an S14 now Wraith, the fuzzyness makes the headlights look different.

SR20DET...

anyway clean looking car.... the rear bumper looks so much better without those crappy reflectors on the AUD bumper.

nice car... my friend has one she is trying to sell.. the brakes are shocking on them for such a powerful car.

yeah still dont get it anyway, same same like i said.


Yeah i thought the brakes on them would be at least halfway decent, My brakes were shithouse so changed them to GTR brakes and now its awesome stops great now.

Was just havin a dig. Meant that real sr20 power is from the sr20det not the sr20de. Just figured you only had the de. Normal sr20de is just like any 2l 4 pot IMO.

LOL, know what you meant hehe, i dont have a DET anyway.

does have a fairly decent amount of mods already on it, will it see any sideways action?

SSS_Hoon

[R3N]

have heard the brakes on them are pretty good if you get better pads, discs and fluids, i haven't been driving it hard as the front brakes need replacing. shopping for pads atm. it won't see much sideways action, will be set up for the track not drift, but we'll see how it turns out ;)

[Tricky Ricky]

Very nice man.

I always thought the standard bodykit on the S15 is pretty boring, but the bodykit on yours makes the Silvia looking very mean, which I like! And the mirrors are a nice touch as well :)

[EL BURITO]

so this going east with u then R3N or u staying in Perth, guess u found stable employment if u managed to get this

[sadavidsriturbo]

Very nice...... My favourite body kit for the s15 kinda ;)

[Vectracious]

Congrats K :D - was looking at these before I got the WRX - super dorifto RWD!! :D

[R3N]

Thanks Pete... my car sneezes louder than yours now nerrrr

Thanks for the clear up guys :)

That different front end and not being able to see the rear sent me astray...the S15 is IMHO the best and nicest looking of the lot, I'm hoping Nissan do a new model...

I think that there is some sort of model which combines the S13 and 180sx also ?? I remember now some bloke telling me this ages ago when my missus 1st got her S13...

[SSS_Hoon]

yeah the SIL80 or the ONEIVA depending on which way you go.

I wanted a SIL80 there for a long time as i hate the Silvia ass end but i like the silvia front end better then the 180 front end.

There's a lot of different combos you can go Wraith...

S13 front, 180sx back = Sil80
180sx front, S13 back = Onevia
S15 front, S14 back = S14.5
S15 front, 180sx back = S1580

Or anything with a S15 front coversion is called a strawberry face conversion. There's also a R32 front on a S13 or a R34 front on a R32... so yea... heaps of combos :D

[aza28]

sweet ride mate. love the Racinghart rims! 3 piece and about $800 a rim from memory! I had a set on mine but not 3 piece.
