    The ultimate S15 exhaust setup. Loud when I want, quiet when I need. Varex muffler. SwitchBoss momentary exhaust flap switch.

    Every Nissan Silvia S15 owner knows the struggle… You want that full SR20DET soundtrack but you don’t want the constant drone, headaches, or unwanted attention when daily driving. So here’s what I did. I installed a Varex Adjustable Muffler and paired it with an OEM+ style rocker switch from...

    Lowering the S15 - shocks/springs DIY how to video. DIY Guide + R-SR Down Springs Review - perfect height 👌

    If your S15 is still at stock ride height, this DIY video walks through lowering the car by replacing front and rear strut/shock assemblies (same basic process for coilovers too). I tested R-SR Down Sus springs — a lesser-documented but long-standing brand — and they turned out to be an...

    Silvia S15 diagnostic bluetooth dongle (Nisbie). An essential for every S15/200SX owner.

    I couldn't find much information on diagnostic tools for the S15 so I did a little online research and found this setup which means you get diagnostics, error codes, troublecodes (whatever you want to call them) straight to your mobile phone. Not only that but you can customise the view to see...

    S15 200SX Air conditioner condenser removal/replacement

    The A/C has never worked on my Silvia, and I was originally told it was likely either a failed compressor or a leaking condenser core. I took it to a local mechanic who quickly confirmed the issue because as soon as they attempted to refill the system, the A/C refrigerant poured straight out of...

    S15 Battery relocation guide (inc. engine bay charge point) using R33 Skyline rear battery tray

    As a follow-up to the above, I wanted to find a neat and secure way to mount the battery in its new rear location, now that the cables and terminals have been relocated. While there are plenty of aftermarket options available, none really offer the OEM+ finish that Nissan already engineered —...

    S15 Battery relocation guide (inc. engine bay charge point) using R33 Skyline rear battery tray

    Using Audi/VW (VAG) components for the battery relocation allows me to retain proper charging terminals in the engine bay, which is a huge convenience. In the video, I walk through the actual cable and terminal hardware, how the (super thick!) cable is routed, and where it’s mounted. I...

    S15 Hatch lever won't open the trunk unless you have a friend with you to open the trunk while you pull the lever.

    Sounds like you just need to adjust the mechanism. Must have gotten misaligned somehow.

    S15 + Compustar 2WQ900-AS 3000ft 2 way pager and alarm + Central locking + making new keys (NATS)

    Our S15 (200SX ADM with sunroof) came with only one key and the driver's side key barrel didn't function so anytime we locked the car up, to reopen it we had to unlock the passenger's door from the outside, unlock the driver's door from the inside, open the driver's door from the outside and...

    S15 Wont Start after Speaker Install

    Sounds like you've shorted something or just purely drained the battery with incorrect wiring. What did you tap into for power and ignition live ?

    Door lock actuators.

    Open up the door trim on the side it's on and have a look. If there's an aftermarket actuator that's gone offline - there's your issue. If there's no aftermarket device and you know it used to work then match the actuator part like for like. You'll need to remove some bolts to remove the door...

    How to remove Silvia S15 front quarter panels (fenders) + replace fittings with stainless steel bolts.

    I swear the Silvia S15 (200SX as I'm in Aus) we got was a drift machine as the guards were rolled and all banged up, mostly likely from being too slammed and wheels fouling guards. We sourced replacement guards, luckily there are people in Aus who have panels on hand (not cheap but worth it) so...

    LED S15 instrument cluster bulbs

    Highly recommend doing this mod. I found that the regular bulbs can be hard to read, particularly during dawn and dusk. Upgrading to modern LED bulbs really aids with visibility. Make sure you get the same diode configuration as the ones in the video to prevent hot and dark spots.

    Hole saw door handle trim for tweeter upgrades - DIY video

    Hey all. Have upgraded my front and rear speakers for a set of components with Pioneer TS-D65C. Went with these so I could wire them up to have the 6x9 woofers as the subs (which they're not but I didn't want to add any more weight than I had to) and then move their tweeters up front. For...

    FULL Install Guide 200SX ADM S15 rear wing/small spoiler w/LED brake light

    Our rescue S15 come with a shaved boot (no lock cylinder) which also means someone went in and deleted whatever wing was there in the first place. To my suprise I saw that someone had welded up the original holes (badly) and covered them with silicone (badly). So off that went and drilled some...

    FULL Install Guide 200SX ADM S15 Fog Lights wiring up using factory headlight switch and relays

    Hey all - couldn't find the information anywhere so pulled all the resources together, along with comparing wiring diagrams from other models from a similar generation, to successfully wire up and install factory fog lights. Luckily the car came with the fog lights mounted but with ZERO wiring...

    S15 Power Windows Dont Go Up/Down

    Sounds like the plugs might no be seated properly and no longer making proper contact with the pins in the switches side. So check the plugs are pushed on all the way otherwise check there's power going to the switches with a multimeter.
