Hi everyone! Not sure if this is the correct thread (some are technical) but please move if wrong admin!
I've just purchased my first ever rwd car, my first ever jap car and you guessed it, it's a s15 finished in aspen white! I have many questions that I'd like you all to answer if you can! But I'm loving the car (and it's attention on the uk roads)!
A little background information! My Silvia is completely stock (I think) minus "colder" plugs, an air filter and a exhaust system as well as a aftermarket boost guage that measures in bar (even though I prefer PSI) and BS coilovers
So onto my questions (straight in the deep end)...
1)I've heard that my colour of car is quite special/rare, how true is this?
2)My s15 seems to be mega when it comes to power (might just be me) but when looking at the boost guage it's boosting at 1 Bar boost, is this stock/factory level?
3)How can I tell my s15 is a "JDM" version and what does this mean?
4)MY rear tyres seem to be scrubbing off a lot on the inner edges (the rear looks quite cambered), is this just a case of 4 wheel alignment to correct this?
5) This thing loses grip quite easy on the rear end (had some terrible budgets fitted to the rear) and I believe it has quite a lot of camber. Any suggestions on some good rear tyres to run for good wet grip (apart from uniroyals as they wear far to quick)? I much prefer traction over looks/"for the skids".
6) I'd like to fit a FMIC (I was supplied one with the car with pipework) I've tried searching but I'm not really getting the answer I want. Do I really need to buy a different battery and drill a 74mm hole somewhere? Are they any kits should I need to buy one that "bolt on"?
7) I have a 6 speed manual box, I know there is a mass debate about these but are they really chocolate & what power can they handle?
8) where can I purchase the rear boot badge that says "Silvia"?
9) what is HICAS, and does my Silvia have it?
10) my speedo has been converted to MPH but the odometer still goes up in KMs, is there a fix for this?
11) Half my dash lights don't work, are these just bulbs that can be replaced or are they SMLED?
12) Fuel use seems astonishing in this, for every £10!of fuel im getting 42KM (note this does say kilometres), is this normal consumption? £20 dissappears in next to no time at all!
13) Looking at my injectors in the manifold they seem to be a pink/red colour, are these factory/stock?
Sorry for the long post but I appreciate every single reply! The more knowledgeable I become the better, I'm sure it's not the last of my questions either 😂
