Here is my S15. It's a 2001 ADM 'R' spec. It came with the bodykit and sunroof from factory. I believe this is equivalent to a JDM spec 'R' with the aero side skirts, a Nissan Aus spoiler and sunroof fitted in Aus.






The car is pretty standard. Mods so far is the FBU upgrade, K & N air filter, a boost gauge, clear side indicators and a 3" custom cat back exhaust with twin 2.5" outlets. More pics to follow.

Here is a dyno run before any mods. Take off 600nm to get a correct torque reading (207Nm). I guess it should have about around 130rwkw due to the boost upgrade, the air filter and the exhaust.

There are always plans :nod:

What I want to do in no particular order.

- Show standard car audio controlled by a PC with a 7" touchscreen. Will do music, video, data logging, change ECU mapping on the fly, Tire pressure indications, GPS and all the extra's you can do with a computer Will fit it all one day.
- ECU upgrade. probably a Apexi Power FC. (see above) Sitting on my desk
- 18" or 19" wheels. Leaning towards 19"s. just need to find the right ones :) DONE
- Tein superstreet coilovers. modified for Australian roads. Lower by about 2" DONE
- remove stupid reflectors in rear bar Half done
- dump pipe and 3" cat Dump pipe to be fitted
- FMIC using factory holes cut in the car. Probably a turnflo by ARC. Still working on it
- Front fog lights ;) (They are on their way :D) DONE
- upgraded fuel pump DONE
- boost controller Trying to find the PowerFC one at a good price.
- Looking for about 200kw at the wheels Half way there!

I'm sure I will think of more.

19's are too big imo unless you have a massive kit and even then look a little funny sometimes

you need to add colder plugs and a boost controller to your shopping list too

looking good though

I knew I forgot something...

add a boost controller to the list

Wheels are one of those things. I have a mate that has 19" Lenso's that I want to try on mine. Other than that. I will have to go to a local tyre place an just see what looks good on the car. I will need to get the coilovers first. There is nothing worse than a car with big wheels that is too high off the ground

I wish. It would be an absolute weapon if it had 800Nm

Update

Update: Fog lights fitted along with some mesh to go infront of the radiator :) Unfortunately my ADM does not have the wiring for the fog lights which means I have to wire them up myself. No big deal, but just a PITA. :(

Nice :)

they're Nicelys old foglights :)
To bad about the wiring :( I was almost certain that the ADM would have it as my JDM had it neatly tucked away behind the front bumper. They were fitted just under the fittings for the front crash bar.

Can't find a good reson why Nissan Australia decided to remove the harness.

No idea. I had a good look for the wiring. There is also no wiring in the fuse box for them, so I would say the JDM and ADM's have different harnesses. Nicely will get to see them when he comes over for Christmas :)

I hoped so too.

It was really easy to fit with the wiring. I just ordered a relay and a new stalk with fog-light switch from perfectrun. Took about 10min to fit those and everything worked.

Strike one more part off the list. CES dump pipe. It's second hand, but for A$78 I can't complain. A little of a tidy up and some black heat proof paint and it should look like new. Now all I have to do is buy a 3" cat and fit it.
