Is the car aimed more at track or private/daily use?
Nice list, and clean looking car.

Brad.

I've said it before and will say it again.

Nice car

Would like to see them wheels on though :nod:

 

[Nicely]

Daily drive and a few track events each year (race not drift). Looking to get an old Toyota Pickup to replace it as my daily drive. Clocking-up too many miles...

Wheels are still under my desk at work. Will try to get them on before the end of the year... Need the standard alloys for my Jap Performance Mag visit though....

Man even though its a stockish looking S15 on the outside those first few photos are mint..really set off the car..the one where someone is hanging out the window of another car taking the snap shot is my fav..so crip and clear. Must have one expensive camera.

 

[Nicely]

Not my camera but, yes, its fecking expensive! Those photos were done by one of the SXOC guys wanting to branch out into professional photography. We were doing photos for the SXOC calendar. I've got the nice clear track day one in rather than one's done that day.

 

[Nicely]

.... bout time you had those wheels on though

So want them on. :nod:

 

[Nicely]

Slightly updated spec and a few new photos.

 

[S15R]

wow those pics are very nice yo!, for magzine aye?

 

[Nicely]

The white background ones were done for Jap Performance mag for an S14/15 profile article. Others were done by one of the SXOC photographers. :thumbs:

 

[Topper]

Thought it was your garage at 1st

Like the mags shots, very clean!!

 

[Meddy]

Your car looks almost matt in the Jap mag pics. It looks much nicer in the SXOC ones. :nod:

 

[Nicely]

Yeah, the photographer has to do that. The mags won't accept photos with things reflected in the paintwork.

Few new bits arrived today

Bad news is that I spoke to Elizium on the phone this evening (he's in London) and both the rear LED lights and Aero bumper still haven't turned-up. So looks like they aren't going to be on for JAE

Damnit. I want to see how them lights look on the car
And the aero bumper too

Did you cut the plastic bar when you removed the filter? Or did you manage without?

 

[Nicely]

Going to do a 'How To', but no, it was already cut... So mines obviously been serviced...

Hehe. My car was serviced at a nissan garage about 300km before I bought it (and a Nissan service sticker to prove it )
At what mileage are they supposed to change the filter?
The last official service mine had was at about 43000km

 

[Nicely]

Judging by the state of them, it should have been changed already. If the trim's not cut, it must have been a true UK cowboy dealer which did yours...

Going to try and find out the interval...

It was last serviced in Japan. So probobly a dodgy Sumo or maybe a Samurai.
My filter kinda looked like yours, maybe a little brighter. But that was after I washed it 1 time
