Why The Nissan SILVIA Spec R (S15) Was INSANE!

[DillonVolts]

“If you’re lame” lol
I mean he’s right

[GIXXRBRAH]

I gave up my bugeye build and bought another s15 I love it

[anthonyyyy]

I didn't know Nissan and Honda collabed to make the S15 "type R"

[niichuuko]

"insane" was an overstatement, especially when almost every performance vehicle coming out of japan at the time had some kind of trick diff.

[talkingfloki]

another big difference is spec r has a turbo, spec s is naturally aspirated

[FishingWithSails]

All the Spec S models were also non turbo lol

[rukaki]

You forgot about the turbo that came with em too

[White_Fiesta_ST]

Spec S is also a NA engine SR20DE and the Spec R got a Turbo SR20DET

Why other ppl go to Japan:
Food
Places
Anime


What gigachads go to Japan for:

[dkiwi]

I think America is the only country that didn't get these, Here in NZ we get "NZDM" models of most Japanese cars like my s15 Spec R II and DC2 Integra Vti-R

[diablorises]

My experiences with Nissans will never allow me to buy another Nissan. So many broken radios from the rage I would get when the damn things would die on me.

[Lukemasonmedia]

I want a S15 bad. I just bought a 32 GTST, plan to make the s15 my second car

[VoltzyBoi]

I am actually first, where's my free complimentary 10 mm socket?

[nickp]

Spec R my man and these are now state side. I'm lucky enough to have a Spec R in my garage in wisco

[joelstatosky]

I think the Spec-R is an absolute JDM bargain at the moment, give it 2 years and this car is going to skyrocket in price. As I've noticed most JDM cars usualy start to see their 3rd highest price increase 5 years before they are able to be imported and the 2nd highest price increase the year they become available to import, and the highest price increase the year the final model year of the vehicle has been able to be imported for 1 to 2 years. This is in my humble opinion the best looking car to come out of japan with the only better looking ones being the classic vehicles such as the toyota 2000gt or the datsun 240z.

[ESISTTIGER]

I mean Japanese automatic transmissions from the 90s and early 2ks were pretty good smooth shifting down low but aggressive and snappy up top unlike American automatics

And with Over drive (or "hold") button pushed in you could force it to shift at any RPM you desired meaning you could do mountain runs on the weekends and use it to get to and from work in rush hour without the frustration

[prematuredgravy]

Not sure if I ever knew a type-r existed

[resdyne]

They also got the turbo Sr I believe notchtop or black top

[elucid]

tell me you don't know about S15s without telling me you don't know S15s.

The Spec S in Japan was also an SR20DE, not DET, had no chassis bracing (including trunk bracing), among other things.

It was shit tier.

Also talking as an owner of a heavily modified JDM Spec R in Aus. Currently being rebuilt, but expecting 400+hp on a conservative tune.

[thomashaugland]

how are you mentioning different size brakebooster and not the fact that only spec-r had a turbo😂
