Hello from southern Ireland!

[s15Irl]

So thought it was about time I introduced myself. This is my S15! I've had it for about 4months now and I love it!:smitten:
And so here she is..

Thanks! Ye I really love the colour, nice and standard too! Nah unfortunately, thats the boyfriends! part of his Nissan/Toyota collection!

Any idea how to get my pictures to come up without having to click on them to view?

Wlcome along, cant see any pics though.

Upload them to photobucket, and the paste the image link on your thread here

Ok i got it!

Tidy looking s15 that, is it an n/a?? nice 200 also.

 

[s15Irl]

Thanks! ye its a spec s, totally standard bar the alloys! Thought the 2litre N/A would be a nice jump up from the 1.4 EP civic i had before. And it is!

More I see the blue the more I like it! :nod:

 

[meddler]

This looks similar to my car. The blue is nice

You both have very good taste Any plans for it?

 

[s15Irl]

Thanks Trial S15 and Meddler!! Had a choice between the blue and a dark grey one.. Went for the blue!
Well exterior will be staying standard except for maybe a nice splitter if I can find a nice one for the right price!
Got a nice JVC double din over Christmas so that's a nice addition!
Have been looking for a manifold for the non turbo (N/A s14 mani fit) but there fairly hard to come by from what I've seen..
Got an aluminium black top rocker cover during the week so am getting that sprayed up at the moment! Candy red or coloured coded with the car??
I also should have a pair of strut braces on the way to me next week!
Other than that for now I'm still looking for ideas! There are not too many Spec S' (that haven't been turbo charged that is) on here so not much inspiration!
Any ideas??

Depends on what you're after really... Mine was a lot of fun but probably a bit harsh for most people as a daily....

Any recommendations on an LSD?? Would a spec r one fit? or would it be easier to change the drive shafts and all?

 

[Trial_S15]

Whats wrong with the standard one? If you're trying to drift the viscous one in the Spec S is much better than the helical one in the R....

I wouldn't imagine the diff out of an R would be a straight swap but I don't know for sure...

 

[s15Irl]

Really? I just assumed an LSD would be better.. If you think not ill leave it alone! Just thought it'd be a nice upgrade..

Hi mate,

I was reading through your tread there, And that information is inaccurate???
The Spec S differential, is the viscous open one way differential.
These are practically useless for drifting/diffing about, They are unpredictable even at the best of times.
The problem is initially only one wheel locks on the viscous differential!!
If you are looking for an upgrade to this; go for the helical 1.5 way differential out of the Spec R.
It is a far superior differential for messing about, Although the helical differential never actually locks.
It does distribute torque immediately to both wheels unlike the viscous differential.
The helical is the best medium for a daily driver. As it is quiet and smooth.


If your looking for a serious diff for track-days or drifting then go for a 2way multiplate job.


kazz/Nismo/cusco etc.

 

[s15Irl]

Thanks Dario I kinda thought that about the viscous open diff.. How would ya drift with only one wheel spinning???
Would ya know whats involved in upgrading to spec r diff? do the shafts need changing and does it affect the ABS sensor?

Hi, you could just get a 14 diff and prop would bolt in! lots more 14 diffs available and prop could be picked up for 30/40 bucks at most I got mine for free even!
