Yakozan's JDM Spec-R

By adjustment do you mean more camber so the wheels are still under the arches?

nah, I don't mind them sticking out a bit as long as it doesn't rub
The thread is still under the arches

He tried to get them as close to the whiteline sport setting as possible. But I only have camber arms so some of the values couldn't be perfect.
I think he talked about adding some tiny bit of toe in (0.01 degrees) at the front so that the car would be more stable when braking.

I'm very happy with the result.
I'll see how it handles on track this weekend.

Still havent found my camera, but at the trackday this weekend other did the work for me. So here are some new pics

Fitted my brake speed bleeders which I got from the states last year. Makes bleeding brakes very easy to do yourself. All you need is a wrench and a hose.

Car handles pretty good on track. I was going for coilovers, but I think that my current setup is pretty good actually for all round use.
Will concentrate on bigger and better brakes first. Didn't have a problem with the stock ones and my Ferodo DS2500 this time. But it feels safer to upgrade them anyways. drove about 100km on the track that day. Max oil temp was 110 degrees C. That's like after 20-30min of full out driving

Well here are the pics.

Just ordered window visors and a Greddy intelligent informeter
Couldn't decide if I should get ganador mirrors or the Greddy informeter.
But I have a hole in my centre console with needs to be filled up so Eventually I opted for the Greddy. Ganadors will have to come later.

No bother lad..

Visors ordered from perfectrun.
13000JPY brand new. Cheaper than e-bay

Just search the forum for "window visor" and you should find a thread with part numbers and everything.

Edit: 14300JPY for the window visors to be more exact

Looking good mate, really like those wheels on your car. :thumbs:

As for coilovers, if your happy, the only thing i would suggest is getting uprated ARB's.

Thanks mate. You should get some too Yahoo auctions FTW

I'll be doing the brakes as the next expensive mod. Probobly a R33GTR or R34GTR setup. R33 is supposed to be easier. That should leave me with more than enough stopping power all day long.
After that is done, I might dare to take the next step with racing tyres.
But it's a long way to that as I've gotto get new 17" wheels for track use only by that time.

Brake mod is to make me feel safer
Tyres should make the car much faster in the bends and they should last longer before overheating like roadtyres do.
That's the two main parts I feel my car is lacking on the track.

However. I've also considered not getting anything more for the S15 and get a cheaper car for track use only which I can rip out the interior from and go all the way.
But that would cost alot of money too.

 

[Topper]

Dont we all wish we could afford and S15, a daily driver, and a stripped out racer

 

[Robbyp]

i know i do!

 

[Yakozan]

Window visors are fitted. and the Greddy informometer is here
Will have to make new fittings for that and the HKS EVC as I want to put them side by side above the stereo

Still haven't found my camera and I?m starting to think It's lost forever

 

[Topper]

Just as long as your dont revert back to the camera you used to use :wack:
