Depends which market you're talking about.

Euro S14
0-60: 7.3 seconds (Nissan brochure listing). Magazine tested at 6.8.
Top speed: 146mph

JDM S15
0-60: 5.6 seconds
Top Speed: limited in Japan to 112mph. Unrestricted, capable of at least 155mph.

ADM S15
0-60: 6.9 seconds
Top Speed: 149mph

For ADM cars both the S14 and S15 put out the same power at the flywheel.

S15 SR20DET Australia 2.0 Yes 147 (200)
S14 SR20DET Australia 2.0 Yes 147 (200)

But they say the S14 is slightly faster, most likely due to weight and gear ratios.

S15 SR20DET Australia 6.34 14.59
S14 SR20DET Australia 6.30 14.46

That's strange, cos the S15 is lighter and has better ratios... Well, its lighter than the Euro S14...

I dont think its fast enough to warrant the use of the word "much", they both dyno at around 110, only reason s15 is faster is because the engine is newer, and hasnt got 100000kms on it. :wave:

70% drivetrain loss is 102kw, so 110 is quite healthy..
im talking about australian cars here

adm s15 is not as detuned :D , as i had jdm and adm before the jdm manual exhaust pipe is much bigger than the adm exhaust system

btw a friend of mine dynoed his yellow s15(nzdm = jdm) in nz which had 126kwrw and i was suprised :eek:



S14 and S15 are born to be modified :thumbs:

Ben, sorry i shouldnt use the word "much" maybe not on drag but on track i bet s15 is faster

ADM S15 spec is vitually the same as the Euro S14. The exhaust is the biggest restriction. That's why power gains are so dramatic on the S14 compared to the S15 when changing to a free flowing item.

I found my NZ spec R in standard form with 180km/h speedo can go right off the clock, over 200km/h down the Pukekohe back straight!.. so the NZ ones aren't limited!

Out of the brochure the S15 (New Zealand):

Power in kW : 184@6400 rpm
Torque in Nm : 275@4800 rpm
Kerb weight : 1240 kg (unladen with all fluids, tools, spare etc)

Anyone else got any other brochures?
