FS: ABS heatshield
I've not had a S15 for a few years now, and recently found the ABS heatsheid I never got around to fitting. It's carbon fibre, but done in a black gelcoat finish, for a more OEM look. I'm sure when I bought it, Craig said mine was the only one done in this finish. The aluminium has still got...- Dan H

Pewter 15 in Shipston
Saw a nice pewter Silvia going through Shipston past the church tonight. Anybody on here? I haven't seen a 15 here since I sold my one a few years back.- Dan H

FS: 1999 S15 spec R aero
SOLD I've got myself a new motor now, so my S15 is up for sale. I imported it myself through Japanese Used Cars, and it landed over at the beginning of 2010. Being my second car it doesn't see much use, and generally I'll only use it in good weather. It's 1999 spec R, so it's got the BB turbo...- Dan H

How much do mods sway your decision when purchasing a car?
As the title really. When purchasing a new car, how much do the mods on it help convince you to go for it? Would you pay much extra for a nicely modded example? Soon I'll be selling my S15, but I'm not sure how I want to sell it yet. It's got a full compliment of Defi BF gauges and a link... -
WTB: Rear wiper bit
Has anybody that has removed their rear wiper got the rubbery round cover piece where the arm bolts to the mechanism on the screen going spare? I've bought a new car, and annoyingly it's missing this part of trim. Let me know if you can help, thanks :)- Dan H

Just changed my oil
I've just changed my oil and done the fuel filter today. I always write on the top of the oil filter the mileage and date when I change the oil. The one I took off was done at 86163 km on 23/6/11, and now I've only gone up to 88250 km. Only 2087 km, or 1304 miles in a bit over a year! I must... -

Steering wheel swap guide
At the steering wheel end I made up this to connect the horn I used a piece of plastic, about 3mm thick or so to bolt to the holes that were left, the bent a metal strip and attached to the plastic so that it would contact the metal disc on the boss. Then I put the wire on one of the bolts to...- Dan H

Steering wheel swap guide
ADMIN EDIT: S15OC is NOT responsible if you cause any damage to your car or yourself. Removing an airbag can be dangerous. Just thought I'd do a little write up on changing the steering wheel, seeing as I've just done mine. First thing to do is disconnect the battery. Safety first and all...- Dan H

Colour change?
Lately I've been thinking about having the colour changed on my 15. What's the general opinion on whether it will detract from the value of the car being a non factory colour, or whether it would make it more sellable when the time comes? Also, has anyone got any good pics of S15's in non... -
Finished my Defi install
When I sold my 180sx, I took out all of the Defi gauges I had in there to put in my 15. I had the all the sensors fitted up, and could see the info on the link display, and I had changed the stock boost gauge for a Defi BF one. 9 month later I've eventually finished putting them in :D...- Dan H

Fitting a GReddy elbow
I've been upgrading my exhaust today, starting out fitting a GReddy turbo elbow, but have come up against some problems. The Greddy elbow has got a divider running inside it, which also pokes out of the end of it. The turbo has also got a divider between the wastegate and the compressor wheel...- Dan H

Rocker cover
I though I'd tidy up my engine bay a bit and paint my rocker cover. I got a spare cover off the SXOC, and stripped all the paint, filed out all the casting marks, and smoothed off the letters. I did a nice job of painting it properly using etch primer, and getting a nice black with metallic red... -
Subframe bushes + locking collars
I tried (unsuccessfully) to fit a set of subframe locking collars earlier. The top part went on, but the bottom part wouldn't fit up into the bush enough to get the nut started, even if I used a jack to try and push it up in :confused:. Upon further inspection, the bushes (well, the one at the...- Dan H

Battery
I've had to buy a new battery for my recently imported 15, so I thought I'd stick up a post with the details, as I couldn't find any when searching. Armed with a tape measure, I went to Halfords to find one matching the original that was fitted. Mine had got a small battery that I assume is...- Dan H
